Iontheprize2022 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 They also told us that day during the interview that because we were the first group to be interviewed, there is a high chance that if we were good, we would probably be waitlisted since it was so early in the interview process. I didn't know that picking the possible interview date would work against me or else I would have picked a later day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven’t sent an email to ask but I might next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usprepa11 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hi! This is my first cycle applying and I have unfortunately been dealing with some personal matters lately so have been unable to finish my supplement for upstate... do you guys think it's too late to finish and submit? I'm worried I'll spend time working and stressing over it, pay the fee, and then have it all go down the drain because it was too late Also, congrats to those who have already interviewed and been accepted!!

sarinasamira Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hi!! Congrats on your invite! Just wondering if you had any trouble selecting an interview date? I'm scrolling through the calendar, and is it just my computer or I don't see any dates available from Oct-March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that date is full and the later dates will become available shortly, not sure. Sorry if I wasn’t much help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow so that's a pretty quick turnaround time in terms of getting back to you with the interview! I applied back in early July, so I wonder if it's safe for me to assume Upstate is no longer considering me since they're already looking over applications sent in on 10/11?

AyoAvocados Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi all, I was under the impression the CASPA question in regards to alignment for their mission was 350 words. However, it is only 350 characters. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i put 2-3 sentences on CASPA and my actual essay on the supplemental app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone still applying! Congratulations! I was looking as well last week, and I found a SUNY Upstate accepted students group on Facebook for all programs(I still have not been added to it). Let me know if you find anything different, or if we should start one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach out with any questions about the interview process, program itself, or any anxieties you guys are having! Hi! Any suggestions of what medical equipment to get and essential books? Lab coat? I know some might not be needed until later on in the program but I just want to see if I can get a good deal on some on the must-haves. Also, I read from previous forums that Upstate requires business casual, is that still the case? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
