If all interviews are done shouldnt they have all their decisions finalized if the AL is ranked and doesn’t change?

They still have to give decisions for the rest of the February interviews, but that should be done by the end of March based on the timelines posted here.
 
Hi! I am building a school list and looking for current M3/M4's that can speak a little bit about Albany!

Specifically, I have the following questions (please feel free to answer as many as you have time for, I know it is a lot!):

1. What is your preclinical grading system?
2. How often did you have exams during your preclinical years?
3. Are these exams based more on lecture/in-house or NBME material?
4. What are the attendance expectations (for lecture, PBL, etc)?
5. What happens if you fail an exam (is it marked on your transcript)?
6. What is your clinical grading system?
7. What % of students earn honors per rotation (if applicable)?
8. Who chooses which order your rotations are in (students, lottery, other)?
9. If you could describe the environment during your rotations in one word, what would it be?
10. How much time do you have for electives?
11. Do you have AOA at Albany?

Thanks so much in advance for answering! I appreciate you making time for this 🙂
Hi there! Current first year 🙂 The curriculum has changed and the class of 2026 is the first one to go through it, so things may differ now from M2s & up. Feel free to DM me!

Congratulations to those who have been accepted! I hope to meet you at Albany! Best of luck to everyone!

I don't think interviews are over yet. They offer an info session on the same week to allow interviewees to ask questions about the school, and theres 2 more info sessions left.

Late February interviews, have y'all heard back? I interviewed a few weeks ago but I'm hoping that I'll get AL or A on Friday (seems like they're only notifying people on Fridays?).

I was looking thru last years thread and apparently people who were AL had to confirm their position on the portal.. I didn't see anything like that this year when I got my AL, we don't have to do that this year right..?
