Did anyone on hold receive an email from admissions updating them on approx when they will receive their final decision? Seems like last year DS sent out an email in April and May.

 

[chillaxbro]

When do ya'll expect the Spring Hold list to move? Do you think they will go through the whole list?

 

[YankeeKM91]

Withdrew my acceptance this morning. Good luck to all of you!

 

[genshuku91]

I've been on hold since Late December and haven't heard from them since. Should I call them?

 

[eWaffles]

man, being on hold is terrible. hang in there guys! hopefully there's a lot of movement.

On hold since November. This wait is a killer

+1

 

[Kibriaq]

So are we all expecting a lot of movement tomorrow? I feel everyone interviewed, but not accepted was put on hold. If anyone does get accepted tomorrow I hope its the people on this forum ( including myself lol).

 

[elprezidente]

Judging from last year, there seemed to be a good amount of movement the first few days and then it slowed down. Let's all hope for a phone call, good luck everyone.

Yeah it seems like a bunch of people got accepted May 15 and 16 and then it just dropped off. Every time my phone vibrates or rings, I look at it so intensely haha

 

[chillaxbro]

Miss the call = lose your acceptance?

 

[Jaxjaxer]

This. No more playing around at this stage of the game. Haha.

 

[chica6]

does anyone know if the hold is ranked?

 

[ChiapetBrownie]

If waitlist movement starts today, what's going on with people who were interviewed late during the cycle and haven't gotten a post interview response yet?

 

[Kibriaq]

Lets all breath and take a lesson from the subway system:

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an important message from Medical School Admissions Offices. Keep your acceptances in sight at all times. Save yourself from rejection. If you see an unattended acceptance do not keep it to yourself. Tell SDN. Remain alert and have the most stressful day of your life.

Basically if anyone hears anything good or bad please post !

Just got a Hold For Spring Consideration after interviewing. Isn't it almost summer?

 

[dr2453]

I would love to know what downstate considers "late spring."

So I've been staring at my phone all day for no reason ha...ha...ha....

 

[jab1990]

Damn nothing like last yrs page it seems on the 15th

 

[nyorker91]

it seems 2 years ago, there was an "Admissions checklist" website that allowed applicants to track their status. Does the 2013-2014 application cycle also have a similar website?

 

[ahron11]

Interviewed March 20th. Received rejection letter by snail mail May 12th. Good luck to people still waiting.

 

[ChiapetBrownie]

Calls the admissions office to find out if they've reviewed my application. Person in the office says yes, and that I'll receive the decision in the mail the week after next and won't tell me over the phone....I'll assume it was a rejection since she sounded sad after she looked up my AMCAS. 🙁

There is a checklist this year too. They email you with both log in and password information.

 

[Kibriaq]

Is this after you get accepted or before ? I never received any notification of a checklist. When did you get this ?

I never got an email with log-in information... Did anyone else?

I'm pretty sure the checklist is only for accepted students. It's essentially everything you have to submit before you begin in August (tax forms for residency tuition, health forms, CPR cert, etc).

Thanks SixStringPsych! I'm on Hold for spring consideration, so you're probably right!

Whatever happened to the much-anticipated May 15th hold/waitlist movement?

 

[jab1990]

Word, last yrs had multiple ppl posting on may 15th.maybe their behind this yr ?

 

[Pathologist333]

Remember the 15th was a Wednesday last year and was a Thursday this year. I bet people will hear later today (wow it's Monday already! I should go to bed...) or tomorrow.

Good luck to all waitlisters this week!

Barring a few waitlists of my own we will probably be classmates so I hope you all hear good news 🙂

 

[Kibriaq]

Does anyone know how long Downstate gives students accepted from the WL to get all health forms in order. If I make summer plans that need me to leave the country will I have enough time to come back and get everything in order ?
