Just got a call saying that I was accepted!
Was originally put on spring hold after my early Feb interview and was moved to the alternate list late May.

Thanks! Nope...there are some stuff on there that I haven't done yet. I was told that it would be OK since my acceptance was so late.

Congratulations!

Thank you

So today I found a link to the admissions study styles in my checklist. Filled it out, hope its not a bug because I tried filling that thing out like 2 times already haha.

Yes, I too have filled that out a couple times now. Fellow Alt listed applicant here.. Threads from previous years seem to indicate that there was a least a little movement in the first two weeks of July for the Alternate List. What's going on this year?

I'm pretty bummed that I don't have an acceptance as of yet (and most likely not this time around). I felt I was competitive. Ah well, '09 MCAT is expiring so I guess I just have to absolutely murder that test this time around.

I'll also be attending Downstate. I'm excited. Does anyone know the dress code for the orientation?

Everyone is required to wear a clown costume every day of orientation.

My dad read recently that the hospital was in danger of closing some time within the next four years, but all of the research I have done suggests that this isn't true. Any opinions/information?

The school is not closing, but I heard much of the hospital staff may be transferred to expand one of our other hospitals.
