Lauren528 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Congratulations Kat1983!! I have applied to the program for the class beginning in 2015, and I am waiting to hear back. I was wondering if you could share when you applied and interviewed, and a little bit about the experience you had. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK4 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just applied last month and I am also waiting to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAKat83 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I actually applied to AMC for entrance for January 2014. I had a ton of pending pre-requisites and ended up being rejected in November 2013. I reapplied in early December 2013 and received an interview invite at the end of January 2014. The interview was on 2/6. It was a very, very pleasant experience. We had a small group and got to ask the faculty and staff a ton of questions. It was well organized and laid back which eased nerves. Some current PA students also spent some time with us and gave a nice tour of the facilities. The faculty, staff, and students that I met are awesome...super friendly and really into getting to know you as a person. It has a reputation as a great program and from my interview experience alone, I can see why. Good luck to you, Lauren528 and JK4, and and let me know if you have any other questions!!

JK4 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thank you for the information Kat1983! Did you receive an interview invite through email or regular mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAKat83 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 It came through the regular mail so keep an eye out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK4 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Great, thanks! Also, did you ever receive a confirmation email? I know they received my supplemental since they cashed my check over three weeks ago but I have not heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAKat83 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I received a letter advising my application was complete and under review....but if you are curious as to if they have a completed application, I would just email them to ask.

Lauren528 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Great, thanks! Also, did you ever receive a confirmation email? I know they received my supplemental since they cashed my check over three weeks ago but I have not heard anything. I called admissions to find out who my advisor was, and they took the time to go over with me what documents they received from me and what they were still waiting on. They were extremely nice and helpful!! I also received a letter in the mail updating me when they had received my supplemental application.

sandeezy Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi guys, Do you know if the orientation date is the same as the start date for the program? Is there a Facebook page for the class of 2017? Anyone moving across country to Albany? So many questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAKat83 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Sandeezy, I am pretty sure 1/5/15 is the start date of the program, including orientation. I do not believe there is a Facebook page yet but I can look into starting one. I currently live in the area but found an apartment closer to AMC on Craigslist. There are a ton of complexes in the area as well as apartments in houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdime00 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Orientation will be on the first day of class. You'll be assigned some reading in Dubins EKG book if you want to get a head start. The class above you will start a Facebook page in the fall as more people are accepted. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_G Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I just got my acceptance letter!!! I am so excited to begin such an amazing journey at Albany Medical College. Are any of you accepted from out of state? I'm from Michigan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
