so is there a class of 2017 facebook group yet?
Hey guys, I need some advice about the Second Look Day on April 19th for Stony Brook.
Turns out I have a very important performance with my dance team that day. I committed to this performance months ago and would prefer not to have to miss it. I would be screwing over my team by not going, and they are a high priority for me.
I emailed admissions, and Nancy was nice enough to offer another day for me to visit. However, she said it would not be the same. I would go on my own and she could have me talk with a medical student, but that's about it. I would miss all the other speakers and info. from the day, and I wouldn't get to meet my possible classmates.
Now, question is, to anyone who has gone to second visit day at Stony, is it worth going to?
I am torn between Stony Brook and two other schools, so I really wanna get a good feel for the school before making a decision. But, would visiting myself on a different day and talking with a student be good enough, versus going to the second look day?
Does anyone know when financial aid at Stony Brook is due? I submitted my FAFSA a while ago, but there's also a couple of forms I have to fill out on the Stony Brook website. However, I haven't received any information from them about it - does anyone know anything about the financial aid process?
Anyone who interviewed 2/7 or later hear back yet?

I wouldn't worry about missing the second visit day. They really won't tell you much that a current student couldn't and I can't imagine them going beyond what was told to you during your interview. I didn't go to the second visit and I have no regrets about it. A personal tour and Q/A with a current student, in my eyes, would actually be more beneficial than the second visit.
It's worth it to go if you're in the area or think the visit will affect where you will attend medical school. If you're planning to most likely attend Stony Brook, don't worry about it and just keep on dancing instead.
The issue is that I am having a hard time deciding between Stony Brook and some other SUNY schools so the visit might help a lot with my final decision.
The only other SUNY school that can compete with stony brook in terms of reputation and value is Downstate and I still think stony brook wins. Downstate gets respect from urban residency programs for being grungy and letting the med students get their hands dirty but as far as resources, support from the administration, and overall quality stony brook is significantly better.
can anyone find a link to the match list for this year?
Does anyone know if how Stony Brook conveys acceptances/waitlist/rejections? I was told that decisions have been send out yesterday, and since I didn't get an email I'm a littler nervous about it all.

Some people posted earlier that they were rejected post-interview via email, so it seems like decisions are sent out by email. Maybe others have a better idea, though. How did you hear that decisions were sent out yesterday?
high priority waitlist. interviewed end of jan oos. the waiting continues haha
I received an email this afternoon

same here- interviewed early feb (IS though). also got the email yesterday afternoon.
wait listed via email this morning.
is there a separate email for "high priority wait-list?" my email just says "waitlist"... Does that mean i should not hold out much hope?
And does anyone know when classes start?
Congratulations! Aug 26 is the first day of class but there is a week of required orientation prior to that.
interviewed on 2/28 and was accepted on Tuesday
does an unofficial/official facebook group already exist? if not, one of us (I wouldn't mind doing it) could make one so we could meet each other/look into housing and such =)
