For those who interviewed here, do yall remember when they said they will start sending out their decisions?

Last year it took about a month to hear back with the initial decision, however I’m pretty sure most people who are accepted are initially put on the alternate list so it may take awhile to get an acceptance.
 
Did they say anything about II timeline at the AAMC virtual fair?

All I saw was that they do not accept updates so there’s not much to be done 🫠
 
Happy for everyone who heard back today! I know they said in the info session that they accept a ton of people off of the alternate list so don't lose hope! I'm hopeful that with the A/AL wave today, the rest of us will hear back soon too 🙂

Wonder how the list moves. I’m assuming we’ll see it move in January/February

Based on previous threads I have seen movement as quick as one week after being put on the alternate list. Basically we are all ranked and as the cycle progresses, the bar for acceptance is lowered and if you are above that bar, they will send you an A.

When I attended the Albany info session, they said that they put a ton of people on the alternate list and a ton of people get pulled off so I think if you get put on it your odds of getting in are actually pretty high.

Yup. They told us that 90% of their current M1 class was originally placed on the alternate list. We are all internally ranked and they lower the threshold for an acceptance as they progress through the cycle. Hang in there folks!

Where did you hear 200 for the alternate list?

They probably got that number from the MSAR. Last year when I was stressing about being on the alternate list I saw on a previous year thread that they accept over 3 times the number of students who matriculate (most of whom would have to have been on the AL at some point). Plus they said during my interview most interviewees would be placed on the AL rather than outright accepted or rejected. If I had to guess, I’d think that number is referring to how many people remained on the alternative list at the end of the cycle. But that’s just conjecture.

Thanks for sharing!

Side question, were you ultimately accepted at AMC? And if so, how long were you on the AL?

I’m an M1 there. I was placed on the alternate list around this time last year and didn’t get off the alternate list until May.
