Interesting so does that mean Buffalo is doing two interview cycles like one for fall and one for spring? Just trying to cope because I still haven’t heard back from this school (LM 71, IS NYC)

While I can’t speak to their motivations for adopting this new strategy, that’s exactly what appears to be happening, yes.

Also trying to cope and this made me feel better, best of luck to us 😭

 

[Drainnn]

I hope so too, as someone with decently strong ties it feels weird hearing nothing

 

[Bishop1x]

Looks like interviews are slowing down for this first cycle. Hopefully that’s good news for us that have interviewed I can’t stand the waiting

MD

I remember reading somewhere on the admissions website that it would be towards the end of the month. Makes sense as I believe there are still interviews in the first few weeks of December

I have a feeling that’s what [mention]Bishop1x [/mention] and I are both trying to suss out website says end of December but I’d love to know a date. If someone wants to bite the bullet and call… I have annoyed admissions enough already

Yes exactly what I was trynna sus out. It seems like if there are interviews in december they're gonna release them towards the very end of december. Hopefully it'll be a nice Christmas present for us

For those that interviewed, was it more conversational or what was the overall vibe? Thanks!

My experience was actually quite fun, it was a great conversation about the things I have done and my research. We just about ran over the time allowed. I was nervous in the very beginning of course, but within a minute I was made to feel as if I belonged and I was spoken to as a potential colleague rather than an “applicant”. Super comfortable from that point on. With that said, YMMV. I walked away very happy.

Seeing as you’re lumped in the decision pool with the rest of us, I hope the same for you!

Obligatory note to the ADCOM members who are reading this thread and laughing at our neurosis... be nice to us, we want to go to Buffalo 🙂

 

[wny_47334]

I wonder if @soccercity15 has the last interview date available for this first go-around, then?

The wave sent out on Friday are interviewing from 12/14-12/20. I'd imagine that's the last week for 2023

I read that as their interview is on Friday, forgetting that's not an option. You are correct.

 

[Bishop1x]

So does this mean that we'll get decisions after or before christmas?

I’d guess before. I’ve heard adcom take the week from Christmas to New Years. But who knows

Tomorrow is the last day of classes for MD, so this may very well be the case. Winter break starts Dec 9th and instruction resumes Jan 2nd

Good question. My guess is no? But idk
