Members don't see this ad.

also looking back at old threads it seems that decision made is definitely an R. 🙁

 

[yourfuturedoctor]

Just checked the portal and instead of the status being re-review after Dec. 1st, it now says "Decision Made". Pretty sure it's an R

+1. I've been on hold for re-review since 9/30 and today it says "decision made". I haven't received any emails though.

 

[RouzaPrimoroza]

Guys, my portal showed “decision made” for me and a day later my acceptance letter arrived. 🙂

 

[dr.donkey]

True, I think the difference is that for some of us we went straight from pre II hold to decision made. Without the interview it’s almost certain that the decision is a rejection unfortunately. Congrats on your acceptance though!!! 🙂

 

[kitkat01v]

Interviewed 10/27 and just got accepted!! I am so happy my first MD acceptance😭😭😭😭

 

[med2b3]

[dr.donkey]

Yup I for that too 🙁 I think it’s an R

Does anybody know if application updates are limited for Upstate? Or can I send as many updates as I need to?

Not sure if it differs based on which stage of the app cycle you're in, but my "Hold" email said I can upload "one brief update"

 

[EbichuDechu]

Finally got the rejection after having the "Decision Made" status

Do you happen to know when your status changed? And were you ever on hold?

 

[EbichuDechu]

Do you happen to know when your status changed? And were you ever on hold?

Yeah I think it changed from "hold for re-review after Dec 1st" to "Decision Made" like two days ago

[Trained LabRat]

Rejected yesterday. Saw the status changed to "Decision Made" a few days ago. Good Luck everyone still in the running!

 

[shawnmendes]

+4 also went to my spam... weird, I even have a filter on my emails so that nothing will go to spam with the word 'decision"

Mine still says under review!

 

[BotanistOncResSur]

Is there any way we can review our secondary after it's submitted? I'm looking for it in the portal but can't find it.

 

[pre-doo-med]

For those who are interviewing or interviewed and attend the other events outside of the interview day like the diversity chat and the coffee chats, what did you wear? Should I put on my suit for these events over zoom too? Or was it more casual?

I attended both the meet & greet as well as the info session for the Rural Scholars program and both were pretty informal. From my understanding you weren't being actively evaluated so I don't think it really matters what you wear. I think as long as you don't look like a complete slob, to the point where someone would take note, that you'd be fine.
On a side note though, wearing a suit/business attire during the actual interview is definitely a good idea. On the rural scholars session there was an interviewer (albeit for the MD/MPH program) who had just finished interviewing one of the people on the call, and he said he got 'bonus points' for wearing a suit and tie.

For the non interview events what did other people wear? If I wore a suit would I stand out badly?

No not at all, if anything they might notice it as a positive. Most people just wore everyday clothes, at most a button down for guys and a blouse for girls.

Got the 'placed on hold' email yesterday—email says my app will be re-reviewed in February (though the application portal says "Hold: Re-review after Dec 1st" like many others who've posted above)

 

[nblatt2]

Interviewed 10/27 and got an email 12/16 stating I was put on the HPA list.

 

[falarm]

On the portal says decision made, but can't see the decision! I've emailed admin a few times but they haven't replied 🙁

Based on past posts on this thread you have to wait a few days before they email you the decision.

Also, when were you complete?

I see, thanks!

Complete in August, interviewed mid-October.

Ah my bad, I'm not sure if that still holds for people who interviewed already. My guess is that it does, but I was talking about those who have decision made on their portal pre-II.

Best of luck!!

what does HPA mean?

 

[futuredoubledoc]

How long do you usually have to wait after the portal says "decision made"? I mean for interviewed applicants. Do they send you an email or do you need to keep checking the portal?

 

[yaygirl]

I've been on hold since August and my status still says "re-review after Dec 1". Just reject me already, this is exhausting

Same 🙁

 

[on_the_run]

Acceptance letters are on the portal

[deleted1079310]

what does HPA mean?

HPA is their High Priority Alternate list. They also have a "Hold By Committee Alternate" list that rarely, if ever, moves. Theres some movement on the HPA list though. Both of these are post-interview. I've been on both now lol

 

[whoray]

Has anyone else's application status disappeared? Last time this happened, they put me on hold until Dec 1st.
