Same here, interviewed 9/4, and I'm about 20 minutes from Downstate by car. I'm not gonna worry about it too much yet - you never know when the mail's gonna come exactly. I'm so glad they never ended up doing away with Saturday delivery! Tomorrow could be the day.

Anyone get accepted after 9/25?

Accepted on the 26th. gpa > 3.9, 36 mcat. Quite nervous on interview day, and arrived almost late due to taxi issues. However, the interviewer was incredibly nice (easily the most warm and inviting person I have interacted with out of all of my interviews) and put me at ease. I left the interview feeling confident, as my interviewer made the interview truly conversational and allowed me to get across all of my salient points.

To those still waiting, I wish you the very best luck!

Congrats! But I meant who interviewed after 9/25. Sorry for the confusion. I'm still waiting to hear.
 
ACCEPTED!! interviewed first week of September.

Couldn't get my mail until yesterday - roommate went on vacation with the mail key!
 
BTW for anyone else still waiting, I called today and they told me 6-8 weeks for a decision even though their website says 4-6 weeks.

On Monday it will be 8 weeks for me....
 
Talking to myself at this point but..........

ACCEPTED!
Interviewed 9/9, post marked 10/28

LOL and congrats!

Annoying to hear that it could take 8 weeks though! Today was 4 weeks for me and the wait is already killing me!
 
Any October interviewees hear any news yet?
 
ACCEPTED!! Interviewed end of September.

I'm really feeling the SUNY love.

Exactly dude! We are just a few wins away from clinching a playoff spot. Can't wait to destroy the Cowboys in a few weeks at home

Wow Congrats! That was pretty fast! Guess us October interviewees could be hearing back this week! Why doesn't the mail come on sundays????
 
For those who are accepting the offer of admission- I mailed the form in indicating my acceptance via regular snail mail. Anyone know if they email you to let you know they received it? Should I call or email to see? Not that I don't trust the post office, but I worry 🙂

Congratulations to everyone who was accepted and good luck to everyone interviewing, waiting, and applying!

I overnighted it via FedEx so I get confirmation that they received it. Only on SDN LOL.

But yeah I would definitely call to make sure they got it. I think that's totally reasonable
 
Interview Invite. Complete late July. IS. GPA: 3.9, MCAT 34

It was one of those situations where as soon as the letter disappeared into the mailbox I was like OH NO WHY DIDNT I SEND YOU CERTIFIED?

Haha anyway I called this morning- the line was busy forever but finally got through and the lady said they received it. She sounded really exhausted. I wonder how many annoying phone calls like that the office fields a day!
 
Does Downstate award merit scholarships to OOSers?
 
eliteeli said:
Do you mean that you interviewed 9/9 by any chance?
Click to expand...
Nope, on Wednesday 10/9. Letter was postmarked 11/1 and I received it 11/2 (I live in Brooklyn and got lucky). It really did come much earlier than expected. I think you guys will hear soon!

This wait is really killing me!!! Really hoping to hear back this week!

On another note, has anyone who interviewed in October been rejected/WL yet?
 
Accepted today!! 🙂
Interviewed 10/8

Really liked the school when I visited, and the centrality of its location is amazing (if not the location itself lol).
Best of luck to all those still waiting!!
