Did anyone here attend the open house this past weekend (9/9/17)?
No did youAnyone receive an interview from buffalo this week?
For those who have interviewed already... is there a place for me to put down my luggage? And how was the actual interview?
yes, i would like to know this as well! i'll be interviewing 10/24 and am also wondering what's the best way to store my stuff since i have to check out of my Airbnb in the morning.
Current D1 here! At my interview, there were a ton of people who brought their luggage with them. They had them in a safe area, so no worries!
I can say that out of the three schools that I interviewed at, UB was the most laid back by a decent margin. The interview style will depend on who interviews you, although I believe most are very conversational. I would advise you not to over think any of the questions and to reply honestly, as it is in your best interest. With that said, UB is the bomb. Keep us updated!lee25, any advice for the interview? I've read that the faculty and students are really friendly and that it'll be largely conversational, but I want to make sure I prepare myself as much as possible. Will we be asked about our classes/ grades/ transcripts/ shadowing experiences? Or will the interview be largely to get to know our personalities better? All pearls of wisdom are greatly appreciated -- UB is my dream school and top choice!

Same. Nice way of saying rejection.I just received the same e-mail. Any advice guys?

Every year people get that by feb 1st they get rejectedreally?? So no one got rejection email from buffalo?
How's the interview for everyone who had one today?
Hey I got a "Continuing Review" email this morning.. I'm Canadian.I just received an email saying that the committee has placed my application in “continuing review”. Has anyone else received this and is it a bad thing?
Could you please clarify what you mean by that.Every year people get that by feb 1st they get rejected

Hey I got a "Continuing Review" email this morning.. I'm Canadian.
Also Canadian and received this email!All of my friends here in Canada have got the same email! I’m just wondering if there is any Canadian here who’s got an interview!
Also Canadian and received this email!
When did they get back around to you?Everyone needs to take a deep breath. I received that same email this time last year, and yet here I sit on campus. It is not a death sentence by any means.
Late January if I remember correctly.When did they get back around to you?
Okay thanks, I feel a little better now haha. I was so grumpy at work this morning after reading that email.Everyone needs to take a deep breath. I received that same email this time last year, and yet here I sit on campus. It is not a death sentence by any means.
Around a 3.7 and 21AAOkay thanks, I feel a little better now haha. I was so grumpy at work this morning after reading that email.
If you don't mind, could you share your stats?
In my personal experience, it means you aren't rejected, but they aren't actively considering you. I tried to keep in contact with the school and make my name stand out. I can't guarantee you will be interviewed, but there is obviously still a chance.so it's the same thing as a wait list? or is it different? I got the "continued review" email today- same as last cycle. It says in the email that we are not selected for interviews. It feels like they've already figured out who they want for their 90 spots within the first wave of interviews.
Hey future D1s! Here it goes again, but one of my classmates here at UBSDM created a youtube channel specifically for you guys! He's been interviewing a bunch of people in our class from very different backgrounds so hopefully, you can gain perspective on the kinds of students in our class. Also, you can see how our classmates interact in an "interview" setting! Hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6JMnCNlNRwei96HxJxoYKQ/featured
For those who are worried about the continuing review email, don't worry too much about it! I am another UBSDM D1 who got that email! Patience is key
STAY POSITIVE!!
Anyone interview at buffalo yet? How was it?
was the writing exercise like an ethical scenario??it was indeed very laid back. Writing prompt then have you picture taken before they call you for interview. My group had 20 candidates and they had 10 interviewers. One was more formal than the other in my case but I really think it depends on who was interviewing you. They also gave us an email list for all interviewers in case you want to write them a thank you note.

Congratz! What is your residency status if you don’t mind me asking?Just got an interview invite today (10/11). There were two days available Nov. 8th and the 14th.
Thank you! I am from NY.Congratz! What is your residency status if you don’t mind me asking?
Congrats! Seems like they are giving interviews more to in-state. I'm Canadian so my odds look slimJust got invited for November! This is after getting the dreaded "continued review" email last week. So if you get one of those don't fret and keep your chin up! In-state.
