For the specialty question, I simply replied "Psychiatry." Not realizing that it is an essay question. I am actually freaking out and don't know what to do. I literally did not write anything but psychiatry. How screwed am I? Should I email the admissions and ask if I can fix the mistake?

I emailed them and they said a very short response is fine so I'm sure you are fine. But of course, they emailed me back after I already submitted my lengthy response.

Lmao I was too worried about that and kept putting in my 8-digit birthdate instead of 6.
 
for all the other prompts can someone pleaseee specifiy the word/character counts (if any?)
 
I graduated from a NY high school 4 years ago but moved to another state a couple of years ago. Does anyone know if this makes me eligible to be considered "in-state" for application purposes?

You have to see if you qualify for state residency for NY. If yes, I’d imagine you indicate that on AMCAS when they ask for identifying information from you.

Additional questions for Rural Health application:
I. Why do you consider yourself suited for rural medical practice?
II. If you have lived in a rural community, please describe it and indicate how long you lived there.
III. Describe your understanding of an issue or challenge facing rural communities now or in the future.
IV. Describe any relevant medical encounters that either you or your family has experienced. How has this influenced your desire to practice rural medicine?
V. What are your future career goals?
 
Should we see anything in the "Status" column in the requirements table? I see they received my LORs and supplemental application, but the status cells are empty.
 
I just went to submit my secondary, the application payment popped up, I went to go back to see my app, then it glitched, my secondary was submitted and no application fee was payed. I got an email saying my application was submitted, tried to pay the fee, but my application is essentially closed and disappeared. What do I do? Is there a place I can do this, a place to track things?

The same happened to me yesterday LOL. The link to for secondary payments is actually also on their website: Application Fees | College of Health Professions | SUNY Upstate Medical University
 
Sure

Thanks, good luck, I am sure I will see you on these pages and expect to hear you get an acceptance in a few months.
 
Also, I'm not sure if anyone has had this experience. But I accidentally started the rural medicine application that I have no intention of submitting. Do I just not submit it? Thanks!
