why did....a university professor....from buffalo visit my linkedin....maam please
 
Verified on 7/22, Secondary received 7/22, submitted 7/24. OOS w/ties
 
ETA: actually it was the 28th that people started posting about IIs. Year before was Aug., the year before was July 23. So still might see something this week

I believe today was the day IIs began trickling out last year. Maybe we’ll see some invites this week

I was looking at the previous cycles II timing and I read quite a few people who said that Buffalo has a "random review" process. Idk if its true or if its still applicable. Does anyone know about this?

I don’t think it really matters the order they review. Because, let’s face it, they are going to offer high-stat applicants interviews first regardless of if a lower stat applicant was reviewed first, even if that lower stat applicant will eventually get an II. But, yes, I believe that is still the way it goes.

I never received a secondary invite, but I did receive an e-mail on June 24th stating that I would be receiving one soon. Is this weird? Or do they also pre-screen?

Did you check your spam?
 
Has anyone been able to access the payment link for the secondary? I tried yesterday and today but it says that link is under maintenance for me.
 
Hey for updates. Does Jacobs send you a status update?
 
For any permanent residents here: do we have to email our greencard to buffalo? I rmbr having to do this for my previous cycle, but buff doesn't mention it this time

Nah most med schools tend to follow rolling admission, and it makes sense as all the IIs (including urself) are apps that came in early.

Your comments are calming me down! Lol I am getting nervous seeing the IIs for Buffalo and Stony Brook (even though I submitted a tad later). Thanks for the reassurance! :)

that's fair! I would say that don't see it as all the interviews for up until 7/13 are done considering we saw a 7/5 3 weeks ago and a 6/27 today you know?

From what I've read, schools follow the general trend of rolling admissions, but they are not obligated to look at earlier apps first. So if their system 'recommends' a later app for whatever reason (stats, EC, disadvantaged etc), the review order can go out of the trend a bit.

Oh yeah absolutely! It makes sense to considering people who get IIs like 3 days after submitting their secondaries in August.
 
For anyone who got an II this week, when are your interviews scheduled for?
