Anyone know when we may expect to hear news from Downstate if we interviewed in September?

Anyone know when we may expect to hear news from Downstate if we interviewed in September?

Based on last year's thread, seems like they first started hearing around 20th of october!

 

[anbuitachi]

super quiet here,

did anyone who interviewed send a letter of interest? if so where did you send it to? the dean of admissions or your interviewer?

Hoping for some good news this week... I interviewed over a month ago.

status page changed with a bunch of extra checkmarks.... under the heading accepted/alternate list student checklist......... but it includes an acceptance deposit and acceptance response... not getting too excited until I actually get the letter in the mail!

HOLY MOSES same for me. Officially freaking out.

ETA: Although it does say "Some conditions for acceptance appear at the bottom or in the text of your acceptance letter." I mean... what else can that mean??

This is true! According to last year's thread, decision letters arrived in the mail pretty much the day after the status page changed..... just being a detective over here 😉

yay!! are we sure it's acceptance vs. alternate list?? i'm afraid to get too excited yet! but do they even put people on the alternate list this early, or is it on hold?

I'm scared to get excited until I actually see good news on paper in my hand lol. I'm not even sure what alternate list means - I'm assuming it's their waitlist, which is different from the hold list.

Basically, I'm counting down the hours now for my mailman to come lol

 

[ts2506]

[T1R3KO]

[Damege]

Well this doesn't bode well for me... I also interviewed on the 14th, but my checklist has not changed at all.

 

[ts2506]

I interviewed on the 16th and mine hasn't changed either =(

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

I interviewed on the 21st and mine hasn't changed either...hopefully they either 1) haven't gotten to us or 2) it will change for the better later!!

 

[Hammergin]

Anyone get an interview invite recently? My status is still "Initial Review". My secondary was complete mid-late august.

Your status will not change on the website until you're accepted--mine is still in initial review and I interviewed a while ago...Just gotta wait for an interview invitation from Downstate! Good luck to getting one! (They don't review applications in any particular order, so don't fret too much about it--if they want to interview you, they will offer you an invite whenever they feel like it, haha 🙂

Do you guys have health forms listed as well with the x's? Bc my checklist says my health forms have not been added

 

[T1R3KO]

Mine says the same thing.

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

Sounds like they only released acceptances for the 14th today? Kinda funny that they'd only release decisions for a select few!

Congratulations again to you guys with acceptances! Mega-jealous! 🙂

 

[T1R3KO]

Here's hoping for some mail today!

i was placed on the alternate list last year and ultimately did not get off.... but when they change the status page its either for your alternate placement or your acceptance, but even if its an alternate placement they are mean and put things on the checklist like acceptance deposit, white coat form and acceptance response. its the same checklist for both alternate and acceptance so until you get the letter in the mail theres no way to tell.

The alternate list is a high priority wait list.

 

[RuSkaya]

Thanks for the info positron

Nothing in mail today for mee

 

[T1R3KO]

Officially started having dreams about getting this decision in the mail.

come ooonnnn

 

[tribe86]

[RuSkaya]

Hopefully today will be the day!

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

At least you guys have had changes in your statuses! 🙂

 

[T1R3KO]

My checklist has been updated to include health items. Lootttsss of red on that page.

 

[pe54]

I interviewed on 9/15. No changes yet.

 

[Asyouwereatrio]

In the big scheme of things, news now or news in a week won't make a big difference, but it'd be nice to know relatively soon (like the kids from last year were able to)...I wonder why Downstate is taking more time this year as opposed to last year, where most kids who interviewed in mid to late Sept knew by now.. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!!

 

[pe54]

It'd do a hell of a lot for my fragile mental state, that's for certain.

Amen. You're not alone on that. Good luck!

So did anyone receive a letter from division of stdent affairs at any point that was to let us know that we are under review by the admissions committee?????????/

I just received some sort of letter today and nearly had a heart attack cuz i thought it was a rejection letter.

I did a while back! If I get another one, I'll know for sure it's a rejection letter! 😀

I never got one from them...Hmmph, strange. Was this by snail mail? Also, when did you interview?

Hey guys with acceptances, did you guys get that letter saying you were under review?

 

[T1R3KO]

I think I got that letter a while ago, in August or September. All of my materials were in by 8/4.

 

[pe54]

Isn't that the complete letter? I got a letter in July from student affairs saying all of my materials in and they were going to begin reviewing my application. I'd imagine that's what you just got.

Oh crap, ya I totally forgot about that letter. That snail-mail letter is pre-interview..I was thinking in the context of post-interview...Ooopsie!

That letter is most likely the "complete" letter.

 

[RuSkaya]

I GOT THE LETTER TODAY!!! 😀 🙂 😍

It came in a normal sized envelope by the way! So don't let the size of the envelope fool you lol

 

[Dmannn]

Also got accepted today thought it was a rejection since my status never changed and the envelope was so small. Interviewed on 9/23

 

[pe54]

Hmm okay, hopefully next week then.

 

[Vulcan]

Congrats to those who are accepted! Plenty more to come!

 

[dramaqueen14]

I got the acceptance letter today too! I interviewed on 9/23

 

[ssdk]

I got the acceptance letter today too! I interviewed on 9/23

Are you IS or OOS? I interviewed a few days before you, and I didn't receive anything in the mail today. =(

This wait/overanalyzing is gonna drive me insane...

 

[silverwyvern4]

Accepted! Interviewed 9/29
