does anyone know what the post interview invite acceptance rate is? or at least how many offers they usually give out? I know that there are about 700 interviews given per year
That's awesome, huge congrats to you 🤗 !!

From what I read, I saw 40-50% including waitlist movement!

I read that the majority of people are accepted of the waitlist. Another school that I interviewed at last year (uniformed services university) did something similar where they accepted only as many spots as were available in a class (they could not over enroll due to government budgeting) and would waitlist everyone else, but they ended up accepting nearly 50+% of their waitlist. Is it similar here?
Congrats! When were you complete? Do you mind sharing your stats ?
I also read that many people get accepted off the waitlist! But I was not explicitly told by the school whether this will be true for this cycle. I doubt their admissions changed much, maybe they forgot to tell us that? One thing is they consistently interview 700 ppl and accept anywhere from 300-350 ppl to fill 100 spots.

I was complete at some point in July I think but my stats are 3.72 cGPA and 510 MCAT ORM.
Did you guys ever get a complete email? I know I'm marked as complete in the portal, but I don't think I ever got an email.
Its been more than 2.5 months and nothing lol, I dont know anymore haha
Does albany send Pre II-R and when do they usually occur or has anyone had any of those?
No I think we have to keep checking. I think that maybe the only way we find out if we get an II too
No I think we have to keep checking. I think that maybe the only way we find out if we get an II
Same
What do you mean by checking? Do we check our portals or email them?

They do not email you to confirm completion of your application. As long as it you finalized it through their portal, you are all set!
Source: Interviewed at Albany this year, never got an email confirming my application completion.

I got my pre-II rejection in like march of last year. IDK if they happen earlier tho. It is still very early in the cycle so I wouldn't get too stressed
There is another one in November! They say the meeting won’t affect your chances for admissions.
ORM, 3.9, 508, and lots of work with underserved communities
It was VERY VERY chill. They are just trying to get to know you so be yourself. Use the 2 minutes to read and then re-read the prompt and create a rough outline of how you want to start your answer 🙂 Best of luck to you 🙂
Thank you!
just realized i never sent a thank you letter after my II... let me just crawl in a little hole

Cause as we all know, a thank you letter is the difference between an A and R
/s
relax dude. its just a courtesy thing, nothing that actually matters

Another school that I interviewed at did MMI as well but they had basically did 3 MMI (10 minutes each) and followed that up with a traditional (25 minutes) and then did another 3 MMIs and followed that up with another traditional. Is it the same here or are there no traditional type interviews at all? Might be my first ever straight MMI style lol.
II, OOS, stats in signature. Having lots of trouble trying to get this photo uploaded to schedule the interview...
Use firefox!
Thank you so much!! Was able to schedule [emoji846]

Anyone that's interviewed heard back already? I've got nothing so far.

Nothing here! I’m convinced Albany wouldn’t ask their admissions team to work on a Saturday, so we’ll get our calls on Monday. 🤞🏻

Anyone interviewed from the west coast? How was it? I have my interview at 6am PT and getting a bit nervous
Is it a sure thing that we should be expecting calls?
Absolutely not; hoping for a Monday call was my coping mechanism through the weekend lol

Have there been any pre II rejections? Haven't heard anything since mid July! Losing optimism!

It looks like everyone last year on SDN got an email. Could be wrong though.
Thank you for doing this reconnaissance
Received an email from AAMC about the MCAT dates and I momentarily saw AMC instead….🥹🥹🥹
I'm dying for results from my Albany interview!! I interviewed on the first day and they mentioned the "third week of October" for when we may hear back. Did anyone else hear something more specific? I loved this school's vibe and am really hoping for an A. 😍
For some reason I have october 19 in my head but i don’t know if that’s wishful thinking or if they actually said it lol. I think last year first notifications were October 20
Wanted to let you all know I had gotten an II last week but withdrew from Albany yesterday as I got into one of my top choices. Hope the interview goes to one of y'all!! Have a great rest of the cycle 🙂
Congrats on a successful reapplicant year!
Thank you! It just goes to show applying a little earlier and retaking the MCAT (only improved 5 points) can have a huge effect. I wish you all the luck and good vibes on your cycle <3

No one that has been interviewed has heard anything yet, right? This post-10/15 wait is killing me!

Nope. Thought from last year’s thread we would know by now.
Same!! No word here either. I’m struggling with the wait for sure.
