for all of you that are waiting on the waitlist, i withdrew my acceptance yesterday to Upstate so i hope one of you guys waiting get in. g'luck!
bummer ... there's a lot of randomness in this process ... I hope things work out for you at other schoolscriminallyinane said:There isn't a whole lot of rhyme or reason with Upstate's acceptances... one of my interviewers told me that he'd "love to have me there," the other told me, "I think you're in!", I'm a legacy, and yet... I didn't get in! It's very interesting...
oh ok ... i guess i'll e-mail them to confirm. Thanksspongebob_sq said:I don't think they are picking up the travel expenses for the second look weekend, but you can stay with a student the night before, which saves a liitle money.

They haven't reached the hold list in quite some years now. Best luck guys and to those who dont have admission anywhere else yet....always next year...things work out in time.
I was called on a Wed at around 7 pm Eastern Standard Time and told I could return the call all the way up 10 pm the same night.utterlyconfused said:I was just wondering- for all of you who got accepted, did you receive a call on a thursday?
someone mentioned that they were interviewed on the 14th of feb. and they received an acceptance on march 16. However, not sure if that means all files up to the 14th have been reviewed. Also seems like they aren't calling to notify people who have been accepted anymore.jclarke said:anyone know which files adcom reviewed today?!?
The on campus apts. are generally more expensive then apts. off campus. There's a good off campus housing site to check out if you get a chance: www.orangehousing.comcappymo said:Hey guys for those accepted---
What are you thinkin about housing next year?? Any opinions one way or another about off campus apartments vs. the on campus prof. students dorm building? Also, any convincing arguments as to why Upstate over somewhere else??
wow .. that's great !!!! and yes .. the admissions people at Upstate are lovelyjclarke said:Hi, I emailed Ms. Welch and she said I was in a "good place" on the HP list Not an acceptance but oh so close I love the admissions people at Upstate - they are actually helpful!
rpkall said:Howdy all.
Anyone know where some of the better neighborhoods are in Syracuse (or in outlying areas) to find housing (safe, quiet, etc)?
Thanks!

I'm also heading to upstate this fall. My wife and I just bought a house in Camillus (we're out of state). PM me if you have specific questions regarding renting or buying off campus. I might be able to help. In general, youll find that housing is great value for money.

cappymo said:Hey guys-- I am glad to be hearing about everyone getting pumped up for Upstate. Can I ask you what made you finalize your decision? What set Upstate apart, what specifically did you like? I am still debating between Upstate and another (far more expensive) school.... I don't want to make a decision I may regret so would like to know what solidified it for you.
Thanks and best of luck.
I know what you mean. It seems like such a great place to study! I'm just waiting to hear back from 2 Canadian Schools before I finalize. I've also decided that if I'm going to study medicine in the US ... then Upstate is where I'm going ...Dr.Alex said:I'm really excited to be headed there, and I have turned down other, larger schools with more bells and whistles in favor of Upstate because I too have felt a gut instinct that I will be happier here.
cappymo said:Has anyone recieved any info about second look day? I sent back an email reply that I would be going but havent heard anything else.... What do you wear to a day like that-- I know, I know that made me sound like a ditz but I'll take the abuse for a real answer!
I had to sign a lease for a month before I wanted to move to get a convenient place for me and my two cats The greater the distance from the school, the more apartments will be available (or at least that was the case a month ago). Good luck finding a nice place.Start hunting now for an apartment, my husband and I are having trouble finding something not booked yet for the fall (and we have a dog).
cappymo said:Okay, so finally second look is almost here! And since the lack of replies sounds like no one has officially any idea what type of outfit is recommended then its time to be assertive and just vote amongst ourselves! Are we thinking like casual (i.e. jeans) or are we thinking nicer (like pants/skirt and a nice blouse?) Remember people, if your lie to me and I'm standing alone in jeans you will have one disgruntled classmate for four years!
The deadline to register was april 15th according to the e-mail that was sent out but I'm sure if you want to attend you still can. Just double check with admissions.CalH22a said:When is the 2nd look? Is it too late to sign up?
jiggaman said:hey i am on hp list...and never got an email for the second look. is it only for students who got accepted or did some ppl on the hp get it as well
