For real 😩
Same but I thought I got rejected bc I didnt see "Congratulations!" 😭 Wonder if we moved up/down the list but not far enough to get a A or R
i gotta say, Albany is actually very conservative with As this cycle..
i think anywhere btwn 35-45% including alternate list -> A movement!

Last year i believe the first person from the alternate list received an acceptance on October 27, which was one week after they were initially placed on the alternate list. After that i couldn’t find another one for a while, like early December i want to say

would certainly be cool if I could get an A or else I will be taking my MCAT again in January 🙁
Thank you! 8/1/22
When do you get links/details about the actual interview?
I think they're in the portal if you click through all the tabs in the interview window. Also they will send details the week of (2 days before to be exact)
Nov 7th, 9th, and 11th!
II this afternoon! LM ~70, URM OOS
II just now. LM 65 with SMP, OOS, ORM.
Complete end of June.
Complete end of June.
Same here. Since they don't accept update letters, is it appropriate to send an email to follow, or it will likely be considered annoying/unprofessional? 🙁
lol so I submitted everything on 8/16 and just got a diversity email asking me to apply and I was so confused so I went into the portal and realized you need to press finalize and they don't automatically move you for review once all your stuff is in... so thats great. I am so mad.
Omg I'm so sorry bro lol

I literally paid, secondary in, never saw the finalize button lol none of my other secondaries were like that... i could scream rn lol
It was around 8/25 I believe, finalized in that next week
yes! They say 90% of their class comes from the waitlist

So i just got an email for the supplemental application.... Do u guys think its too late to submit it considering its literally november lmao
Better late than never. If you apply to Albany the next cycle then you're considered a reapplicant anyways.

Should we send update letters to get our chances increased for getting off the waitlist? Also, do you know what acceptance rate is like post waitlist?
they made it pretty clear that they dont want any letters/updates so I would probably not send that letter. acceptance rate (from WL or just straight from II) is around 40-45% here!
Congrats, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order of how they look at apps. Some people got IIs complete much later in August even September
Yep! I think they used to have under consideration/alternate list but it’s different now. Anyway they said 90% of current students were not outright accepted

Bruh, I've never understand that stuff like the whole process is so complicated and there are so many moving parts. It should be on the schools to standardize everything as much as possible.
tell me about it… I feel like a ******* but also albanys portal was so weird too. there’s so much to keep track of. Albany also doesn’t let you finalize until they’ve received everything so it wasn’t like other schools in which you can submit before things are accounted for.
needless to say, i’m mad at myself. but crossing fingers 😅

Do we know how often Albany admits more people?

Very low stress. No actors, so no roleplay. 6 Stations where you respond to the prompt (1-2 traditional questions) but otherwise they felt a lot simpler and more straightforward compared to the types of prompts you'd find online for practice. 🙂
why would u do that?
