Accepted earlier this week. I still don't believe it. LM 72, interviewed in October.

I really, really enjoyed the city + campus.

+1 Accepted this morning as well and interviewed the same date!

Also, I never sent an update or post-interview thank you email! This was a debated subject so you can get accepted just weeks after your interview without sending one!

In light of recent news at SyracuseU regarding the string of attacks against minorities, can any current students (or anyone really) comment on how close/ connected the medical school is to the undergrad campus?

SU is not associated with Upstate. Upstate is a SUNY school, and SU is a private school. The campuses were kinda close to each other though. The situation is unfortunate, but I wouldn’t expect medical students to be that immature

SU is basically across the street from the med school building, but honestly you'll never go there and really you'll never interact with any SU students.

I sent them an update email a few weeks ago and then got the II out of the blue

Can I ask what you stated in your update email? I have been continuing the same community and hospital volunteer positions and have been in the same research group that I stated in my application. I'm pretty much continuing everything I said I would be and doing it well. I got the hold letter but I did apply late (Sep 30th).

You could mention how many additional hours in each activity especially if it is a large sum. In my letter I made it more of an update/continued interest letter!

When do accepted students usually start hearing from financial aid?

I also interviewed on 11/18. I think they said we should hear back by the end of the second week in December

Also interviewed then... my interview portal has been cleared (i.e. where you submit updates). They must be getting ready to release decisions!

Interviewed 11/20 and they were saying 2-3 weeks for us, not sure if they were including thanksgiving or assuming we shouldn’t count that week.

Any MSTPs who were put on hold earlier in the cycle hear back? They said they would start re-reviewing applications after December 1st.

So it seems they conducted all of the MD/PhD interviews between Dec 8-9 and 10-11. At least at the interview it seemed like that was all. I'm not totally sure though. I was originally put on hold late September, but was given an interview invite in October.

Checked this early morning around 9AM EST! I had it on the home page of the portal! It said something like "Congratulations" and an acceptance letter was there. So thrilled as this is my first acceptance and my #2 favorite school! No email received - only saw it on the portal.

Interviewed 11/13. Accepted today - 12/11.

Please everyone make sure you check your portal. Shout out to drbilirubin for letting us know!

Interviewed 11/18, nothing.
 
Does anyone know if being placed on HOLD pre interview is a silent R or if there is still hope? Asking for a friend, xo
 
Did most people send an update through the portal or email? Also does anyone know if they are receptive to additional LORs?

Will you consider emailing them as well?

Hmmm wasn’t planning on it, I just assumed they received it once I uploaded it on the portal but I guess you could always do both to be in the safe side.
