complete 7/2, no update 🙁

It says in the complete email that they do not necessarily review applications in the order of completion.

 

[yunsenb]

Not a lot of II news for downstate. Wondering if that's an SDN thing or downstate thing?

 

[maratmit]

Submitted 7/7. Mine was complete 8/6

Congrats! 🙂 when were you complete? and if you dont mind, could you share your stats?

 

[CoffeeBean1]

Congrats! 🙂 when were you complete? and if you dont mind, could you share your stats?

I got the "complete" e-mail July 1, although I'm pretty sure they do a random review. And my LizzyM is 70+

 

[AromaticOreo]

IS II this morning! Complete 7/3.

 

[Halgene]

[yunsenb]

Anyone think this is worthy of calling? Submitted/paid 6/30 and no complete email.

yeah I would shoot them a call

 

[TheCheerDoc]

If I retook a pre-req at another school (got a C- the first time, so no bueno), should I list the most recent take on the secondary? It's worded "List the courses you are using to fulfill your prerequisite admissions requirements".

Can anyone weigh in on this? I'm in a similar situation and I'm unsure if I should just post my re-take or both times I took it.

 

[coffeelover10]

Looks like they only invite OOSers with high stats :/

 

[yunsenb]

Absolutely elated! II and complete around 7/21. IS!

 

[TheHikingLife]

II! My first one, so I am pretty relieved. IS, got the application complete email 7/11. BK baby!

 

[Synergy15]

Hey guys, for those who confirmed their IIs via email, did you get a reply that they received your confirmation?

[CoffeeBean1]

I did not. Did anyone else? I was wondering this too.

 

[luvtoski]

II today. RSVP by e-mail, no response from them.
Application was complete on July 11th.

 

[AromaticOreo]

Unfortunately, I had to reschedule my interview because of conflicting interview at another school... Contacted them via email yesterday, but still no response. I may just call on Monday if I don't hear anything before then.

 

[Synergy15]

So I just called the admissions office and they said they would "confirm everything in a couple of days". Hopefully that means they'll email us soon with a confirmation of our confirmation...

 

[Bbqchickenman]

II today. RSVP by e-mail, no response from them.
Application was complete on July 11th.

What are your stats? curious

 

[NYCdude]

Is it a must to answer the "Why do you want to go to medical school in new york" question? Also, what reasons do people typically give?

 

[hred224]

Anybody OOS receive an II? Just wondering if they have only sent II's to IS applicants so far. Complete 8/5 (although I finished my secondary and sent in material by July 10th).

 

[Toastayy]

II today. IS complete 7/18

[Nica56744]

Can y'all post if anyone gets a conformation email? Getting a little nervous. Got a II, called to confirm, they seemed confused and told me to email. Did that, but got another II request from them a few days later. Emailed again, but still no response.

 

[imFeman]

II, IS, LizzyM of 70 and complete 7/31

 

[Toastayy]

Haven't received any interview confirmation either...I did it via email

 

[luvtoski]

[Art V.]

II yesterday!!! Complete 7/29

 

[NYCdude]

Can someone please help me with some questions regarding the secondary:

When you're filling out the courses for the pre-reqs, do you list them exactly as they appear on AMCAS (and on your transcript)?

Do you have to submit course descriptions? (No, right?)

Yup, no course desc.

Anyone got an II and haven't received a confirmation email yet?

 

[chickenchaser]

Anyone who requested a new interview date get a reassignment yet?

 

[AromaticOreo]

Anyone who requested a new interview date get a reassignment yet?

I contacted them on 8/7 and they got back to me on 8/11 with a new (earlier) date.

 

[chickenchaser]

Thanks, it's been a while so a phone call it is!

 

[Toastayy]

Yup, no course desc.

Just called them and I was told that we do not receive an email acknowledging or Interview Invite confirmation, if anyone was wondering.

 

[Nica56744]

I received a conformation email. I also received two interview requests for the same date and time though. It took about a week/seemed pretty standard.

Dear Applicant:

strange...i'll just let it play out..

 

[CoffeeBean1]

Can any current students comment on the interview here? My interview here on Tuesday is my first one, and I'm starting to feel unprepared. I looked at the interview feedback, but I feel like I could have prepared more for ethics/current events/healthcare etc. Is it mainly behavioral/screening, or do they typically ask a lot of those topics?
