I did not, I got the interview right before I sent out updates. However, I did include updates with my thank you letter post-interview, which they said that we could do.

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

How do they communicate acceptances? via phone call or email?

Any advice regarding interview prep for Albany?

OOS Pre-II R this morning. GL all

+1

 

[stinkygirl203]

Any advice regarding interview prep for Albany?

be familiar with MMI interview style. It’s also closed file I believe (they didn’t ask me any questions about my application, since it’s MMI)

 

[madcat5566]

Albany doesn’t accept any update letters, right?

 

[berryfairy3]

Albany doesn’t accept any update letters, right?

Yeah they don’t and really stressed that at the interview

I got placed on the AL, interviewed on 2/17. Not sure how I feel about this yet knowing they have a large AL, really like the school.

In the interview they said over 80% of the class comes from AL, and they see it as basically the next step after the interview for the vast majority of interviewees.

 

[Somewhat Hopeful Pre-Med]

Do we know if they reveal the AL rank after they finish interviewing?

 

[sybilgirl]

Do we know if they reveal the AL rank after they finish interviewing?

I believe they said they won’t reveal rank at all

 

[avoidingpurgatory]

Anyone know when they stop interviewing? Kind of miss those Albany newsletters ... have not received one for several months lol

I just made an account to ask this…this school is my last hope for this cycle. According to previous years’ threads, they only have one interview date this month and then it’s all over during the last week or so.
