2024-2025 Buffalo (Jacobs)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
IS A on 3/6; interviewed 2/26. There is still hope for people yet to interview, they are still offering acceptances at this point in the cycle. I’m hoping for the best for everyone on the WL, keep ur heads up and send those letters of intent!

Hard to say cause it's difficult to judge yourself objectively... I feel like interviewing in person definitely helped, but I'm also very passionate about all my activities and came into my interviews confident and prepared. Didn't shy from making jokes and just tried to be myself. Went on many tangents with my interviewers about shared interests and probably spent about quarter of each interview just shooting the **** about things minorly, or not at all, related to medicine. Made an effort to remember pleasantries (asking how their day's been, thanking them for opening doors, thanking them for their time, etc.). Asked really good questions at the end of the interview. You get the interviewers' names in advance, so I spent time thinking of questions that would be informative for me and get them thinking; both of my interviewers commented on this.

That being said, I'm squarely above the average stat range for accepted students at UB, so that may have helped. I also have few ties to the area but demonstrated reasons that their school is a good fit. Did not send thank you letters.

It seems like they started April 1st, but with the majority starting May 1st. They didn't release any data on what % of the WL gets accepted, but I heard that Buffalo has good waitlist movement (hopefully it is good this cycle), but it varies every year.

hypothetical: waitlisted, LOI sent, already movement on the WL and don’t hear for a while, how wise would it be to contact the school to show continued interest wo being overboard?
