Out of curiosity, did anyway ever get anything in the mail after acceptance? I've recieved packets from other schools which is nice for organization but nothing from Albany.

When the time comes they will send you some stuff to sign, info on orientation day, etc. You will receive a more formal "packet" at your actual orientation, which they will walk through with you.

Anyone know what days the adcom meets?

 

[whatsupdr]

For those of you who have interviewed. What time would you say it would be safe to book a return flight from Albany?
Would 2:30PM out of Albany be cutting it to close?

Thank you

I did send them a short email just expressing my continued interest and briefly saying I was still participating in various endeavors on my application. I don't really think it helped to be honest, but it also didn't hurt apparently haha

[Pickme23]

Has anyone on hold received an II yet?

 

[ciestar]

I'm beyond nervous for this MMI...
All the rest of my interviews have been traditional.

It will go by faster than you think. After a station or two you should have the hang of it and it will be less stressful!

Did they send you an email telling you you were on hold? I haven't received a single notification from the school...

MMI's are so much less stress-free than traditional interviews imo. They're actually fun! Don't worry about it too much just stay relaxed and be yourself

More stress-free.

 

[Pickme23]

@Nigmizole @altrock So my AMCAS was completed in Nov and I didn't compelete my secondary until Dec ( my secondary app was in the spam bin for the entire month and I had no idea) I think my application was placed on hold so that Albany can look at the other applications they revieced earlier in the cycle. They recieve over 9000 applications every year, so they are pretty busy. If you completed your application earlier in the cycle I wouldn't worry too much. You'll hear back soon. Good luck!

 

[Pickme23]

@altrock3

 

[Pickme23]

@altrock3 yes I received an emailing stating my application was on hold.

It may have been mentioned before, but for anyone that has interviewed at AMC, can we take notes during the 2 mins we have to review the prompt? Hoping to be able to sketch a response before going into the room with the interviewer. Much appreciated!

No note-taking allowed.

Good luck!
