Congrats on receiving an interview invitation! it is not snailmail or even email, you need to go into the AMC web site to see it. it is the same place you went in to select the interview date. There are lots more useful information (hotels, directions, visiting RPI, etc.) there - for example, the Hilton Garden Inn link from the hotel link gives you the discounted rate for AMC. The letter we downloaded from the website is posted below, to give you an idea: note that the start time is different for Monday versus Friday.</p>
<p>Dear STUDENT:</p>
<p>We are pleased to tell you that you have been selected to interview at the Albany
Medical College for the Accelerated Physician-Scientist Program offered conjointly with
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.</p>
<p>You have been scheduled to come to our campus to interview on:
Date: Arrival Time: </p>
<p>From January through March, approximately 80 applicants will be interviewed for
this program. Because of critical scheduling logistics, we have very limited availability of
interview dates and times. To ensure that you have the best chance of getting a
convenient date, we ask that you log onto the Response Form (located on the left
side tool bar) and select your interview date within one week of the date of this
email. If this is not possible, please call our office, (518) 262-5529, to schedule a
mutually convenient time. We interview on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons. If
you will be accompanied by your family, kindly limit the size of the group to two adults.</p>
<p>When you arrive at the Albany Medical College, please come directly to the
Admissions Office. We are located on the first floor of the Administration Building (R) in
Room 109. The interview day program consists of four parts: orientation session, lunch
for applicants, tours, and an interview. Parents are invited to attend the orientation
program and tour. At any time, parents may purchase lunch or refreshments in our
cafeteria. Please plan to spend approximately five (5) hours at Albany Medical College.</p>
<p>Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute welcomes you to visit our campus before or after
your interview with Albany Medical Center. Following a Monday morning interview at
AMC , we can offer you a tour from 2:00 PM-3:15 PM. If you have any additional
questions, you are more than welcome to sit down with one of our counselors during
your visit. Prior to a Friday afternoon AMC interview, we can offer you an information
session from 9:00 AM-10:00 AM. This is a general information session regarding
undergraduate studies and the application process at Rensselaer and is not specific to
the accelerated medical program. These sessions and tours are scheduled to allow
sufficient travel time between Rensselaer Polytechnic and Albany Medical College. If you
plan to visit, please go to
<a href=“http://www.rpi.edu/dept/admissions/visitrpi/schedule_visit.html”>http://www.rpi.edu/dept/admissions/visitrpi/schedule_visit.html</a> and write AMC in the
question box. Directions to RPI are available at

<p>Information and web links are provided on the left tool bar to assist you with your
travel plans.</p>
<p>We look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Donald D. Pritchett, Jr. , M.S., J.D.
