my decision was up on my stats page the at 11pm the day of my interview...

I did not know there is a stats page for Buffalo. Can you provide the link please? That's a lightning quick decision! Did you get accepted?
Hey, how soon after the interview should we call to find our decision? I heard people calling the very next day, and others saying to call the following monday.
I interviewed yesterday but when I check my status page, it says NO ACTION. What does that mean? 🙁
No Action means that no decision has been made. However, a decision will be made by next week. If you are waitlisted be sure to call Mr. Rosso to find out where you ranked.

I interviewed on Wednesday, too - and my status page still says "No Action." However, I'm impatient, and called Admissions - and they told me over the phone that I was accepted!
Call them! They're so nice, and don't seem at all bothered or annoyed to hear from us.
i'm waitlisted too...
i called the office and they dont know yet what my ranking is 😱
i just called UB and i'm in the middle third...
Wohoo... upper 1/3! Now i have to figure out how to edit the waitlist...
Oh yeah, for all those who interview wednesday, really liked meeting you guys. Had fun chilling out in the student lounge. If the student pop is anything close to how cool the interview applicants were, UB must be pretty awesome.
Hi! Yeah, that's me. Were you able to make your flight on time? Had a really hard time catching my flight back to SD...... never ever take US Airways again! Good luck with everything, maybe we'll even be classmates!

LOL US AIRWAYS IS THE WORST! My sister did her undergrad at buffalo.. they were delayed EVERY SINGLE TIME and they LIE about why!!!! They always claimed it was "weather related," even when the weather was clear both at buffalo and NYC, where we live!!!
Crap... I fly there tomorrow (or I guess later this morning technically) on US airways.
What did everyone think about the interviews there? This is actually my first one for med school (had some professional job interviews before), so I am nervous 😱

Does anyone know in previous years how far in the waitlist do they go? Is being in the bottom 1/3 pretty much a rejection? Can we find out about how we are positioned within that third? I did a quick search about this and found out that some people were in fact accepted after being put in the bottom 1/3, but do you guys know if this was a significant number? or just a few lucky people? I'm getting fustrated collecting those waitlist letters (6 so far) arghhhhhhh........
I hear ya - I'm collecting waitlist letters too and also sit in that dreaded lower third. From everything I've heard, upper third is pretty much a lock. Middle third they sometimes get all the way through, sometimes only halfway or so. I think it's very rare that they take more than a few off of the bottom third. Given that, I'm basically chalking UBuffalo up to a rejection. That being said, I'm certainly not going to withdraw my application until I get in somewhere else, because there's always that tiny chance I might actually beat the odds...
Bottom line: In the bottom third, I wouldn't get your hopes up about getting in... Focus your hopes on one of your other waitlists.
Didn't they get to the upper few people in the lower third in the past 2 years? Hopefully they will follow this historical trend and continue with this. The only problem with this is that you don't get the phone call till pretty late (June/July).
I called yesterday to check if I was still in the bottom third, and it wasn't Mr. Rosso who answered. Whomever it was, with extra questioning they did say I was in the top third of the bottom third. Maybe if you call and ask you will get the same person!Is there a way to find out where on the lower third we are by the end of the interview season?

Did this happen to anyone else?
For what it's worth, I'm about 98% certain I won't be taking a spot at U Buffalo, so my upper third spot will go vacant. To all those in the middle third, you've got a good shot, and from what I hear, don't rule out hope in the bottom. Good luck! (And upper third = late acceptance of course)
I found out this morning via the status page that I was accepted! I interviewed there on Tuesday (3/14)
OMG OMG say I didnt tell you so!!!!!! See it was a sign
ps I was also going to tell you I got similiar hints at my interview with Dr. Severin but I didn't want to get you too on edge! I knew you would get in, I was just about to PM you and ask!!!!
i am really excited about interviewing at buffalo but my interview is not for another month, does anyone know if this is an automatic waitlist?
