2014-2015 SUNY Downstate Application Thread

BU Medical Sciences
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Actually just got my complete email.
 
Yeah I got a complete email yesterday.
 
Not a lot of II news for downstate. Wondering if that's an SDN thing or downstate thing?
 
Submitted 7/7. Mine was complete 8/6


Dear Applicant:

Thank you for submitting your application for admission to SUNY Downstate College of Medicine's 2015 entering class. We have received the necessary documents and fee (or fee waiver) to forward your application for an initial review by the Admissions Committee.

For a guide to our policies, procedures, and information about the admissions process, please download our 2014-2015 College of Medicine Admissions Information Booklet from our website at:

http://sls.downstate.edu/admissions/pdfs/com_admissions_info_booklet/COM_Info_Booklet_2014-2015.pdf

Our office will be using email to communicate with you about your College of Medicine application throughout this processing cycle. Please set your email account to accept messages from the SUNY Downstate Admissions Office email account ([email protected]).

You will be notified of any further action on your application, or if the Admissions Committee would like to receive additional documentation. Applications are not necessarily reviewed in the order they are completed, and the process may take some time due to the large number of applications being submitted.

In the meantime, please refrain from calling the Office of Admissions if your questions relate to the status of your application. Questions other than those dealing with the status of your application may be sent to the Admissions Office via email at [email protected].

Once again, thank you for your interest in SUNY Downstate College of Medicine.

Sincerely yours,

Office of Admissions

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.
 
II! My first one, so I am pretty relieved. IS, got the application complete email 7/11. BK baby!
 
Hey guys, for those who confirmed their IIs via email, did you get a reply that they received your confirmation?
 
II today. RSVP by e-mail, no response from them.
Application was complete on July 11th.
 
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.
 
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...
 
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?
 
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).

There was a post previously of an OOS receving an II
 
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.
 
Haven't received any interview confirmation either...I did it via email
 
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?
 
Anyone who requested a new interview date get a reassignment yet?

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

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