Does anyone know if they're done sending IIs?

I received one on 2/12. I don’t see anything more recently reported on Admit. Interview for me is in early March.

OOS - likely game over.

IS - they usually keep sending II’s until first week of March and then it’s game over.

anyone have insight into the interview process? 35 mins to an hour seems like an awfully long time.. especially considering its two interiews that are like this. Everyone says to know your app very well, so what type of questions do they ask abt it?

 

[medbaddieee]

+1 IS II!

 

[WeJu$tNeed1]

+1 IS II!

Congrats!! Can I ask when you were complete?

[Yoshi&Cookies]

+1 IS pre-II R. App complete 7/30

 

[notEinstein]

+1 IS pre-II R. App complete 7/30

Isn’t it funny how 2 SUNY schools just 100 or so miles apart are so different?

Just bumping this if anyone has insight. I am assuming the interview is open-file?

Open file. Both my interviews were an hour long each in-person. I got asked about every activity in my application by my student interviewer. Faculty interview was more conversational. Overall, very relaxed and was my favorite interview.

 

[mmssjj]

Is Jacobs done sending IIs?

 

[md175]

I would think so, I believe they stop doing interviews in March, then fill remaining slots off the wait list

 

[tireddd_open the door]

Hey everyone, does anyone know how is the waitlist movement at Jacobs? Is it good or a soft-R 🙁

 

[cocococonuts]

It should be pretty good. Last year a bunch of people got off it (based off of last year's thread)

 

[cd4224]

Does anyone know when decisions might be released this month? Interviewed 2/25, according to last year's thread, late-Feb interviewees heard 3/6, but that doesn’t seem to be the case this cycle.

Between the 17th and 24th.

 

[premeddyy]

Between the 17th and 24th.

Is that the same for first week of march interviews? Mine was 3/6

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

Will be withdrawing my A. Hopefully it goes to one of you!

 

[premed2026607]

Anyone know when I may expect to hear back as a 03/10 interviewer?

 

[paramedic_to_med_student]

Anyone know when I may expect to hear back as a 03/10 interviewer?

I was hoping sometime this week but perhaps next week due to the holiday this weekend.

 

[premeddyy]

+1 WL. Does anyone know what the chances are of getting of here?

 

[fixherupper]

+1 OOS WL

 

[Finesschap]

+1 IS WL

 

[medbaddieee]

+1 IS WL

 

[paramedic_to_med_student]

+1 OOS WL ✌️😞 My only MD II. No one has reported an A on Admit or CycleTrack today so I guess the class was already pretty full. Fingers crossed for a favorable outcome for those of you in the same boat—hopeful for some movement as we approach the traffic deadlines later this month.

 

[premed111888]

Did anyone interview in feb/march and not hear anything yesterday? I am wondering if that means they will release more waitlists or there is another acceptance wave coming.

Yep, I interviewed in March and heard nothing yesterday. Still waiting.

 

[beptune]

Anyone know how in-depth the reapplicant feedback sessions are? They mentioned it in my rejection email

 

[kidgamer101]

Anyone know about financial aid offers? I submitted my fafsa in December but still haven't heard anything yet

 

[marathoner_15]

I also submitted my FAFSA in December. I just got my offer a couple of weeks ago. I am pretty sure they go out any time between March and June, but do not quote me on that! I called the financial aid office with a follow-up question, and they were super friendly, so I am sure they would be willing to answer any questions you have! 716-645-8232

 

[premed2026607]

Does anyone know with the "Plan to Enroll" Deadline coming up on April 30th, if Jacobs will withdraw our application if we do not select it by then? I'm still waiting on aid packages.

 

[cocococonuts]

Yes you need to select "Plan to enroll" by April 30! The timeline they sent out earlier stated that they require all applicants wishing to go to Buffalo to select PTE by April 30!

 

[kidgamer101]

Does anyone know how to formally withdraw? Or is the automatic withdraw as a result of not planning to enroll on the portal what we're supposed to do.

 

[cocococonuts]

You have to email the same person you emailed to set up your interview. You do not get automatically withdrawn if you don't PTE so schools could theoretically see that you hold two acceptances

 

[premeddyy]

is WL movement coming from this school 🙏

 

[beptune]

I guess for anyone in the future that is curious about this, it was general advice. There were 100 people on the Zoom call with 4 adcoms who answered questions on different aspects of your application. They didn’t have our apps in front of them

 

[webbywhisper9]

Anyone hear from waitlist, or about when its going to start?

 

[jltilx2758]

Saw someone got accepted on admit.org earlier today but not sure if that was from a waitlist spot (anxiously waiting for that email lol)

Was that a waitlist movement? It seems like a bigger movement is likely to come. (hoping)

 

[slayatje25]

I got the A yesterday morning from the WL (IS) seems like it just started moving

Ah yes, knowledge of doom and sadness (waitlist movement has begun and haven't heard anything)

What was ur LM score if you don’t mind me asking? And when was ur interview and waitlist?

 

[slayatje25]

What was ur LM score if you don’t mind me asking? And when was ur interview and waitlist?

Apparently my LM (never calculated before) is 70. II invite first week of October, interview completed before Halloween. WL on Dec 18 like everyone else. I sent them a LOI for what it’s worth and my interview was seemingly very good. I got positive feedback from both of my interviewers that indicated I had done well at least!
