This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
After losing my dad to having my grades drop. From having to attend two different graduate programs and after reapplying fours times. I finally got the acceptance. I am an MD to be. I got the A last night! For everyone else who didn't, have faith I know every one here will be a doctor one day. If I can do it, I know all of you can do it too!!!!!

I don't think it could hurt, but there was some chatter last year (you can check the thread) about letters not doing much to move people on waitlists. I think you should do whatever lowers your stress level/makes you feel good about your standing, while also being aware that the committees are super busy and prob dont need an update every week haha. I was on 4 WL's last cycle, so I understand the painful feeling. Hang in there!!!!
 
Is there any body from Buffalo? How is the city? How is the cost of living?

I'm from a neighboring city but I think your best bet is to email admissions and ask for a contact with a current student. Experiences across Buffalo vary wildly depending on neighborhood or region, so if your questions are about the area in which you will be studying and living, you should discuss that with a current student.

I'm from Buffalo & currently live here. Honestly love the city, a lot of growth in the past 5 years. Tons of great spots to eat, the school is sooo beautiful and right downtown in a cool area off Allen street which has a bunch of bars and stuff. The city is right next to the water so there's cool spots to kayak & there's a bunch of parks/a few streets that do music & farmers markets over the summer. Cost of living isn't too bad, I live about 5 minutes from Jacobs on Richmond Ave, it's such a pretty street in the fall & summer. Ton of old mansions that have been converted to apartments. I split $1695 for a 2 BR, but that's actually on the expensive side for the area in my experience. If you want to live in a cool spot that's within 5 minutes of the school, has grocery stores/restaurants in walking distance & is reasonably priced, I'd looked into the elmwood village area (basically anything within Forest Ave to Allen St & Richmond Ave to Main St). I know a lot of people in duplexes that pay as low as like 400-650/month each. If you want to be in walking distance to med school, I'd say anything downtown or around Allen St- downtown gets a little pricier though. There's a few nice apartment complexes (i.e., the Grid, some apartments on Summer St., etc). But regardless, it's a really great place to live, city of good neighbors!! go bills 🙂
 
Anyone know if there is a deadline for the scholarship application that was sent out a while back?
