Also, whats the grading scale like?

According to this - https://www.amc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/3.3-MD-Student-Handbook-UME-7.18.24.pdf - it's a mix of honors and pass/fail. (The grading section starts on page 27.)

They just sent out an acceptance to wait-listed applicant, who is going to take it.

A today!! December interview. In AL since December I think? Super excited! Goodluck to everyone. As a reapplicant ik how anxiety inducing this time of year is. Hope everyone gets a chance to live out this dream 🙂

 

[SuperDoof123]

Congrats! Interesting that they’re accepting right before the April 30th deadline…

 

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

Congratulations!! Hopefully to be in the same situation sooner than later lol. I wonder if they are forcing people to make quick decisions?

They are. I think that they have to decide by Monday, were given the admit today.

First, congratulations to everyone! Second...why wouldn't they get until April 30 to decide, as everyone else does?

Good question! I will ask the person. Apparently, they're going by WL rules, rather than the customary April 30th date. Their football, their rules.

 

[germtheory]

Thanks for finding out! And good luck to the person you know

Not sure tho it seems like based on last year they were sending A's throughout all of May rather than only on May 1st.

How long does it take for the CYMS tool to update on AMCAS after an A?

[SuperDoof123]

Yes!

 

[yurikatsuki]

OOS A off of the AL this morning! Placed on AL 10/18.

 

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

Do they send all the emails at once each day or throughout the day? I am constantly refreshing my emails T_T

Looks like from last year's thread they sent out As at 10 AM EST to people on May 1. Probably done for today 🙁

 

[SuperDoof123]

Hasn't popped up for me either, I'm sure it will by tomorrow tho!

Figuring I'm at the bottom of the ranked WL 😅
Hopefully there's some more movement next week! Otherwise, good luck to anyone who's starting their re-apps...

Why do you say this? And there will be more movement, as others holding a spot at Albany get into other schools that they'd prefer to attend,off of the wait list at those schools. Hang in there. It's not going to be really over until mid-August.

 

[flowerpower555]

Has anyone else still not heard back?

Thanks for the encouragement! Tempering expectations, I suppose. One good thing is that Albany will let everyone know regardless by July 21 according to the AL response email, so at least we won't have to wait until August

Do you mean overall? Did you have an interview?

Huh. The admissions office is pretty responsive to emails in my experience – maybe you could reach out?

 

[LebronJamesFan]

OOS A off the alt list. Withdrew my application, good luck to everyone!

 

[Amoebub]

[germtheory]

Congratulations to you folks and best of luck wherever you're going!

My email was closer to 11am!

 

[germtheory]

Folks who've been accepted, is there any indication of how full the class is?

 

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

Could today be the day I get an acceptance 🤔🤔🤔

 

[peacefulcurrent573]

114 - 117 in the group me as of yesterday.

 

[modernfamilyluver]

Any insight on WL movement?

 

[Dream cake]

Just withdrew my acceptance with very small scholarship. Hope it goes to one of you!!

 

[germtheory]

Any insight on WL movement?

Going by last year's thread – it looks like a few people were accepted on 5/14, 5/16, and 5/17, and also at the end of the month. But it's hard to say because of course people who aren't on SDN might be getting off the waitlist any time. Let's keep the faith people!

 

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

Any news today?

 

[drewkie_bear]

OOS A off the WL this morning. Good luck everyone, keep your hopes up!

Are you planning on accepting the spot?

 

[drewkie_bear]

Are you planning on accepting the spot?

Yes, unless I get pulled from the waitlist from my in-state school

Congrats!!!!! That’s amazing! Do they call and email or just call?

 

[germtheory]

I got the A ten minutes ago. Will be accepting the offer. No call, just email. I'm in shock!

Thank you. As I said in a previous comment, from the past few threads it appears Albany accepts students as late as June so keep your chins up people.
