It may though. if they plan to interview the same number of applicants but there are more to screen, naturally it takes them longer to decide who to interview, which is probably their priority now. so decision for those already interviewed gets put off?
can't be, someone would have posted in the acceptance thread
actually punkun is right. i interviewed a few days after oct. 15th and the number i heard was 35 (not 40). not everyone who gets accepted posts on sdn, lol. we just think they would bc we would 😉
I find it hard to believe that out of 35-40 premeds not one of them would post an acceptance
i hear you but that's what i heard at my interview.
or they haven't made a decision on our file yet or even looked at it since we interviewed, who knows...I wish they would let us know though, I really liked stony brook ;/
😱hey guys. i just got an acceptance package from the DHL man.
I guess i'm the first poster on SDN. which means you'll probably hear soon. i interviewed 9/18.Interview: 10/14
Accepted: 10/31
🙂
Accepted: 10/31

you got an acceptance 2 weeks after interviewing at stony?! i interviewed a few days after you. were your stats amazing or something? congratulations =)
pretty good stats...not superstar tho
hm, that means i have hope yet. i wish the dhl man would come by my house 🙁
i think they send out acceptances in batches, but you shouldn't worry if you don't hear anything. chances are they just haven't reviewed your files yet. your interviewer submitted your files later could be one reason why your files are reviewer later. one person interviewed at downstate 1 day after me got accepted 2 weeks ago and I just got accepted yesterday! so keep your hopes up!👍👍👍👍👍
congrats on the acceptances guys!
Crossing my fingers for ya, RedRumi!
According to Stony Brook admissions, waitlist by email, rejection by USPS.
i really dont understand how i couldve interviewed before you guys and still not have heard. my stats are pretty competitive for stonybrook, and while one of my interviews was okay, the other one went really well. its making me really nervous that i still dont know whats going on...
I interviewed on 9/25 and still haven't heard anything... I'm getting kinda annoyed, seeing as decisions for ppl with much later interviews are going out (not that I'm not happy for you all!) I just want answers!

you should call them to see if your files have been reviewed. they're rather receptive about it. good luck!👍
I felt so pround of myself for finishing SB secondary a couple of days ago and now I feel like I am really behind... for those who already interviewed this yr, how were your interviews (q's, difficulty of qs, casual...)? Good luck!
So there are two interviews. You'll either get two faculty members (who are also on the adcom) or one faculty and one student. Both of my interviews were very conversational. I was asked why I wanted to study medicine (which is almost always asked) and general questions about my application. One interviewer was a little combative so i had to make sure that i make my points quickly before he throw something back at me.
The other interviewer was incredibly nice.😍Generally you want to appear sophisticated, that you have thought through your decision and know what you want as a career.
yeah, i haven't heard that either. i had one student interviewer. do med students usually have voting rights on the adcom? i thought their input was just considered.
one of my interviewers was a bit confrontational... i have no idea what to make of the conversation. i'm hoping it was just some kind of "stress interview", since there were many things about the school that i really liked.
has anyone out there received a waitlist or rejection yet?

haha, maybe. it was interesting because the first interviewer told me to expect the second (confrontational) interviewer to be "very nice"!
My 1st interviewer was also very nice, most laid back interview I have had actually. My 2nd interview started off very confrontational/rude which really surprised me, I think they were just trying to rattle me a bit, but it ended warmly.
Where did you all stay to interview at Stony Brook?
I have an interview on the 25th of NOV. and need some tips... staying in NY is friggin expensive.....
Does anyone else interview on that date? and want to splint the cost?

The cheapest hotel I found that is close to stony Brook is the Holiday Inn at Ronkonkamo, NY. Get your car, hotel, and plain ticket through Travelocity or something and you'll probably save a bit of cash. Its going to be expensive though 🙁
I stayed at the holiday inn near macarthur airport. I used priceline.com and named my price on hotel and car and got a great deal.

oh no...that's where I'm staying on Nov 13th!! how far was it from the school? travelling time?
it's very close. 5 minutes on a cab from the hospital. what happened to me was probably an isolated case though. so you probably don't need to worry too much.
Ok, thanks! So we have to be there at 8am? when does the day end? I had a dream last night that people got out at 8:20pm haha
I have an interview on Dec. 5, anybody want to split a hotel room on Dec. 4?
