Summary of Application Experience
Playing the waiting game! New Year\'s Edit: I\'m a bit surprised that I didn\'t receive interviews from some of the schools (mainly Drexel, Downstate, and Tufts) but still I can\'t complain and am happy with the way things worked out. At this point I\'m leaning towards Einstein.

SUNY Buffalo
Applying for combined PhD/MSTP? No
Submitted: Yes
Secondary Completed: Yes
Interview Invite: Yes
Interview Attended: Yes
Waitlisted: 10/13/2011
Accepted: No
Rejected: No
Summary of Experience:
Facilities were a bit run down and the tour was REALLY long but loved my interviewers, the curriculum looks great and I could see myself living in Buffalo. Edited: I don\'t know how I feel about a school that puts so many applicants on a waitlist. IMHO it suggests an insecurity with protecting the yield of the school. My love for this school dwindled over time so I withdrew.

Terrible interview experience with one interviewer which colored my experience. School was nice, facilities top-notch and the students seemed really happy.
