***Official Thread for 2016 BSMD applicants***

@aichoux it was alright, I lost my train of thought once and had to take a second to recollect my thoughts! The interview person I had was really nice! I feel like I blathered on a lot though so we shall see!

@agirlinasweater @88Mom88 Iā€™m currently a student in HPME and when I filled out my application, I believe I also self-reported all my grades from 9th grade until the first MP of my senior year (which were the only senior grades were available at the time of application). Good luck!! Alsoā€“if you or @goaltobemd have any questions, Iā€™d be happy to answer them. :slight_smile:

@GoldenRock Thanks for your info.

does anyone know when uconn will get back to us?

Received MIT early action admission.

I know this is a BSMD thread. Happy to share that my son received MIT admission (early action). Results came in at 6:28 pm (EST)

@HS2DirectMed and @88mom88 Congrats! Are you going commit to MIT?

congrats@HS2DirectMed and @88Mom88

@HS2DirectMed and 88mom88 That is fantastic! Congratulations!!

Has anyone applied to RPI/AMC and Union/AMC? If yes, and you receive AMC supplements for both, would it be good to do both or just send in only one supplement?

Would doing RPI/AMC and Union/AMC supplement reflect negatively on an applicant?

@narkor many applicants apply to all three undergrads for Albany. So no negativity is reflected. I didnā€™t apply to Union. I havenā€™t received anything from RPI yet. Did you receive supplement from both?

I applied RPI/AMC. What is the AMC supplement that everyone keeps talking about?

@itsbrown After RPI reviews your UG file, they will choose to send your file to Albany which in return will send you a supplement application to complete. Based on that they will invite applicants for interview.

I know many of yā€™all have gotten skype interview with REMS and AMC supplements at this timeā€¦ Because I have received neither yesā€™s nor noā€™s from REMS, RPI/AMC, and Union/AMC should I assume that ive been rejected?
or do you know if decisions are yet to come

@goaltobemd Thanks! did you already receive it? Since I applied really close to the deadline (like maybe 2 days before it was due), I was wondering if there is still a chance that I might get it or if I missed it. Also does the supplement have any essays?

@goaltobemd Thanks! Yes, I received both. But, I was not sure if I should send in both as it may reflect poorly. What is the REMS skype interview that everyone is talking about?

@itsbrown . Not yet. From what I have heard they send it in batches. I called RPI last week they told me they havenā€™t reviewed my application yet.

@narkor that is awesome! Congratulations. Maybe someone who has got the application from 2 undergrads for Albany can help you. I am not the right person. For university of Rochester, the interviews being scheduled are for undergrad not the medical college. I have opted for an in person interview. The notification comes up on the portal. A few of us got it yesterday or maybe day before.

@goaltobemd Thanks! I hope someone can weigh in ASAP as it is due soon.
REMS- I thought the portal just said ā€œinterview highly recommendedā€ and you can choose if you want to do it or not especially if the counselor is interviewing in your city. Does your portal show an interview as a mandatory notification?

@narkor weigh in about what?
