2024-2025 SUNY Upstate (Norton)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is anyone still on hold since 10/18? Not sure if they are giving out any interviews at this point.
 
Does anyone know how long in-person admitted students day is? Couldn't find an itinerary online.
 
Anyone here still not with Pre II R? They said interviews are concluded. Still on hold, just bracing the R lol.
 
On last year’s thread some people reached out around this time to ask about their HPA standing. Anyone think this is worth doing this year? Idk if their email also said “We cannot tell you where you fall on the alternate list but by mid-June we can discuss how the list is moving to give you a better sense of your chances regarding acceptance.”

I am HPA for MD/PhD program and they told us at second look to reach out first week of May if we don't hear from them before then. I think it is reasonable to reach out after 4/30. Its been really hard to tell myself not to email them so I get it.

This is great to know! Thank you for sharing this.
 
sitting here, still on the Hold by Committee Alternate list, now with an offer to their AMSNY/Jacobs School Post-Bacc program. i honestly don't like the feeling of doing yet another post bacc with a different set of conditions for acceptance (still better than Temple's conditional interview). has anyone heard of someone who went through the program, or another thread on SDN about the program?
 
Anxiously waiting for that HPA movement soon 😫 I'm tempted to commit to my one A, but I'm gonna wait another week to see what happens here
 
Also on HPA since Feburary, I have not heard anything yet. :😥 Thinking about entering the 2025 cycle.
 
just letting you guys know that you can email them to ask how likely it will be for you to get off the waitlist at this point. i also am on the HPA list but they told me they haven't gotten to my spot in years and they probably won't this year so they recommended for me to reapply... ;(

Dear Admissions Committee,

- 1st sentence introduce myself.
- 2nd sentence asking if there has been any movement (when i emailed mid may they said not much)
- 3rd sentence asked how likely would it be for me to expect an acceptance to upstate
- 4th sentence thanked them for continuing to consider my application and if further info is needed please let me know.
- signed off

good luck everyone 🙂, for the fellow waitlist warriors: im right there with u, hoping for the best for us all and don't give up if this is truly what you want
 
How long did it take for them to get back to you?
 
Yes, they said there hasn't been any movement on the waitlist so far, and in the past, they have gotten to my spot. So it's just a matter of luck and waiting at this point. I am already prepping for the upcoming cycle.

Did they tell you to reapply or to remain optimistic?
 
They didn't recommend anything, just said Its possible I might get off, and it's possible I might not. 🙁
