Ultrasound: Regular Admission Applicants
For Fall 2025 Admissions:
Admission is rolling until the program and alternate lists have filled, or June 1 – whichever happens first.
Application Process
Applications will remain open until the program and the alternate list fill. All applications will close on June 1 if the program hasn’t been filled by that date. We strongly recommend that applicants not wait too long to apply as interviews begin in January (admission is rolling) and some programs tend to fill in early spring.
Step 1: Complete the SUNY Upstate Application
Submit the College of Health Professions application for the program you’re applying to.
Step 2: Letters of Recommendation
Two letters of recommendation are required. Letters should come from people who know the applicant in an academic or professional capacity such as college professors, an academic advisor, an employer, or a supervisor from a volunteer activity. We'd strongly recommend, but don't require, one letter of recommendation from a college professor, preferably in science, who can comment on your academic ability.
Letters of recommendation will not be considered from:
- personal references,
- high school teachers or counselors,
- co-workers/colleagues, or
- athletic coaches.
Applicants will enter the reference’s information in the “Add Recommender” section of the College of Health Professions application, then click on the “Send to Recommender” button. This will initiate an e-mail sent from Student Admissions to the reference with instructions on how they will submit the letter of recommendation electronically.
Transfer applicants applying in the fall of their freshman year of college and earned enough college credits while in high school to transfer after one year of college may submit one letter of recommendation from a high school teacher from their junior or senior year of high school (preferably science).
Step 3: Submit Official Transcripts
Transfer applicants are required to submit official transcripts from every college attended or every college they have received credit from. Transcripts can be sent from the colleges to Student Admissions.
Official transcripts should be sent to:
- E-mail: [email protected] (preferred) or
- Mail: SUNY Upstate Medical University, Student Admissions, 766 Irving Ave., 1212 Weiskotten Hall, Syracuse, NY 13210
Applicants with transcripts from foreign countries (excluding Canada) must send us an official evaluation of their credits from an organization listed on this page, if we will be using any of the courses to meet prerequisites. Evaluations must include translations to English (if not the original language) and converted to the US system of education. Or if we won’t be utilizing any of the college credits to meet prerequisites, we will require an original transcript (without an evaluation of credits) sent to our office directly from the foreign college or university.
Once Your Application Is Complete
After all required items are submitted, your application will be reviewed. Qualified applicants will be contacted to set up a Zoom interview.
Decisions are sent out via e-mail. Early Assurance accepted students will not submit a deposit at their initial acceptance but will respond to the offer by the deadline indicated on their acceptance letter. They will submit a deposit in January of their entry year once their acceptance has been finalized.
Upon Finalizing Acceptance to the Program
Incoming students will be required to submit a background check after their acceptance has been finalized in the spring prior to enrolling at SUNY Upstate. All admitted students are admitted conditionally until background check results are obtained and reviewed by SUNY Upstate.
Enrolling students are required to attend an Orientation program.
