Well, if we're seriously going to Vegas I'm down for that 😎
That'd be pretty hilarious actually, partying it up in Vegas before school starts![]()
JonnyDrama......
maybe it's a good sign. I am an accepted student def. going to UB, and I got the housing email, so maybe it means you are in!!!
good luck![]()
ps so July for Vegas people??
no one knows anything about the bottom third of the wait list and chances of getting in?
i don't know anything. i still have not talked directly to anyone who can give me specific info--everything i have gotten is from this forum.
my guess--for what it is worth--is that this week and next --the movement will be from the upper part of the top 1/3....
at the end of may/early june --people will start to contemplate their new acceptances off the waitlists at other schools...and another wave of movement will take the list down to the top of the middle third.
anyone else have an idea?
remember--this is just a sense i have gathered from the previous lists... and calculating in the fact that applications have risen a little...(if the waitlist is the same size as previous years --this point is debatable--then i don't see why previous trends would not apply for this year)
i am an optimist--i think we all have a good shot at getting in like the previous years...however-i still am preparing alternate plans for the fall to be cautious and prudent
well, based on the ast year's thread, they hit the middle third by mid-late May! To me that doesn't seem to be happening this year! its a gut feeling though, but I do not see that much of movement in the waitlist ( even the in the top part of the upper third!) yet versus completion of upper third movemenr from last year's data, by say May 17th ...

Just wondering if anyone knows the average board scores for UB.
Dr. Severin (the dean, one of my interviewers) told me personally during the interview that their avg board score is ~ national avg. I asked him.
hey kfire, was this for the past year? that's what an interviewer said during my interview day as well, but it looks like it varies from year to year. this thread from last year says that UB board scores were 5 points above national average the year before (they were comparing to downstate, whose avg was ~ natl avg that year)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
i got accepted!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Rosso said that he's not allowed to say how many people are on the waitlist or how many are in each third or to tell you where you are within a thrid (though he mentioned where in the third you were back in December, when I got waitlisted).did anybody ask Mr. Rosso how many ppl are on the waitlist?
I forget the exact number, but yeah UB's board scores are about equal to the national average. However, the new Dean would like to see scores raised so UB is taking part in a pilot USMLE customized exam program. Basically, it's a 4 hour computerized test we're taking at the end of this week (*groan*) to assess what we've learned from the Year One curriculum via Step-1 type questions.
While I understand the faculty's movites, it's honestly the last thing I want to do on a Friday with one week of school left and two tests to go. 😡

Congrats !!! this is great news!! you should go out and have a blast. do you know what part of the upper 1/3 you were in ?
Hi Purometal, I don't know what part of the upper 1/3 I was in, unfortunately. I'm not sure they release that information. I wish you a lot of luck. I'm sure you'll get in soon!
