SUNY Upstate High Priority Wait List???

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey guys,

To those of you who are already accepted:
1) Are you interested in starting a yahoo group or e-mail list of some sort?
2) Is anyone else looking for a roommate or temporary sublet?

Looking forward to meeting you all, and for those who are still waiting, good luck! I have heard so many people resign from their spots recently that I am confident your call will come!
 
I have created a yahoo group for the SUNY Upstate Class of 2010.

To join, send an e-mail from the address you would like to subscribe to:

All current Upstate students are welcome too!

And to all those still waiting, I hope that you will all be joining soon! :luck:
 
I got a call yesterday and got in off the the HPA list.

I also have an acceptance at UWisc Madison. I am having a really hard time deciding between the two. Can anyone please offer some insight.
Thanks

Wow, congrats! Wisconsin is a really good school - ranked #6 in primary care and #28 in research. Upstate probably has cheaper tuition though. I guess it all depends on where you want to live for the next 4 years, and what you want to specialize in. I guess being from UCLA, the weather at either one is probably not ideal, probably lots of snow at both.

Anyway, good luck with your decision, and let us know what you decide.
 
Hi folks,

I've just been accepted off the waitlist at a Canadian school (Queen's), so I'll be pulling my name off the Upstate waitlist...so if they get to my vacated spot on the list, there'll be another opening for somebody.

I would have been happy to go to Upstate, but Queen's is a great school and will only cost about 1/4 as much to attend...so it was a no brainer.

I'd like to thank UpstateAdmiss. Your staff is so friendly and helpful!

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!
 
That's wonderful Jaegwon! Congratulations and good luck at Queens!

Boy, do I ever know how you feel! I've gotten 2 wrong numbers from new york on 2 different days, and I've jumped out of my skin each time. I live in a different state so the new york thing is really super weird. I just can't take the waiting any longer! :scared:

i feel ur pain too. everytime the damn phone rings, a thought comes that this might "THE CALL" 🙁
 
I'm trying as hard as I can to stay hopeful.... I noticed that a whole bunch of people got pulled off the waitlist a few weeks ago, and then nothing... Even though several people said they withdrew after that, none of us on here got pulled off the list. I'm hoping there will be another flurry of calls soon, but the longer I wait, the dumber that idea sounds... 🙁
 
Hi everyone, I decided to go to upstate. Good luck for today and next week and the next...for all of you waiting to hear. 👍

This year's waitlist is moving slower compared to last year's. 🙁 That is what the admissions staff at Upstate have told me.

There is still hope though 👍

Congrats medschool9! At least it wasn't a call from Blockbuster this time. I'm happy for you and wish you the best of luck. Still no news for me sadly.

For those of you who have made it in, what dates did you interview on? I'm wondering if the waitlist calls are going in order of those dates. Any thoughts?
 
Well, I interviewed in October, waitlisted in November. No call for me yet 🙁 i'm wondering whether it's reverse order, maybe.

I interviewed in January... I'm pretty sure they're just going by what number you are on the waitlist...have you guys called Carolyn Couch to get an idea of what position you are on the list? I called several times and each time they gave me a good idea of when i would be taken off the list....

good luck
 
I just wanted to let everyone know that I got a call yesterday letting me know that I was accepted. I declined the spot because I will be going to SUNY Buffalo, so hopefully one of you guys will get the call next. For anyone who cares I interviewed on March 6. Good luck to all of you

thanks for opening up a slot at Upstate and good luck at Buffalo.
 
I just declined an acceptance off the waitlist, so another spot will open up today. Good luck!

Thank you for letting us know! Good luck at whatever med school you end up at!

*clutches phone to chest and prays for it to ring*
 
pacific 10 and arnone18, what campus were you offered admission?

does anyone know if they are admitted to binghampton could they possibly change to syracuse? please give insight. how do they determine which place to offer to the HPA list students? seems that one has to be lucky to get a spot at syracuse if in the HPA list.
 
I was offered the binghampton campus. Basically, I was told that if I chose not to take it, the next spot on the syracuse campus would be offered to me.
 
Taking the advice of medschool9, I called to see what's going on......

I was not given any information about my spot in particular, but I
was told that the list is moving slowly....

Not exactly what I was hoping to hear
 
Just got a call from Carolyn for a spot at Binghamton and I accepted it. I am in. yes. 🙂 Good luck to the rest of Waitlisters.
