Is Stony Brook still sending out II's? My application has been "under consideration" since the dawn of mankind (09/13).

Same. Please allow up to 2 months lol

 

[stemingen]

Any suggestions on the interview@SB? Is breakfast available on the interview day? If not, any place I can get something to eat? My brain will not function at all without breakfast...

Hey guys, I interviewed last week at Stony and what the director of admissions told us is that they are interviewing until mid-March. Not sure if that means they have sent out all the invites but I'm pretty sure they are still sending out until end of Feb.

Stony might be slower because Nancy emails you individually to set up a time and everyone's schedule is customized. This is different from other schools where you can use their computerized system thus they are SUPER SLOW.

Also, she said they are honestly and truly holistic and will read everything you send in. They have about 2/3 of their class filled with acceptances, what she meant is that this number is fluid, once someone drops out, they will send out more offers. (I'm not sure what she meant by this exactly but she was just assuring us that there are plenty of acceptances left to give out). And about 6 weeks+ on average to hear back post-interview.

No breakfast available. There is a starbucks in the hospital and coffee and water in the room where you wait for the interviewers. Lunch starts at 12pm with sandwiches and chips (pretty small lunch). Both interviews are open file (supposed to be 30mins but mine went over 1hr each), you get asked the typical stuff like why Stony, why medicine, what you look forward to/afraid of in medicine, etc. They definitely read through my application and asked me to clarify some specifics on certain activities I did. I honestly didn't prepare that much but they were pretty conversational and stress-free. Good luck!

Hey guys, I got an interview invite yesterday afternoon, so all hope is not lost. To anyone who has interviewed, how long did it take Nancy to email you back. Its been 24 hours and I'm getting anxious...

IIRC there were cookies (or were they granola bars?) and coffee when I arrived for my interview day at 10:45am.

Sorry if this question was already asked, but has stony brook already sent rejections to people pre-interview?

My application has been "under consideration" per the portal since 9/21

Where can I find the application portal? I have looked for it for so long and can't seem to find it anywhere...

 

[emkaydee721]

Withdrew my II here today. Good luck everyone!!

You can find the link on the very first e-mail they sent you for the secondary invitation.
This confused me too.

Did they ever send us a username/tell us how to create one after acceptance? I'm trying to look at their institutional aid forms but it's all locked and apparently it's not the same login as for SOLAR

I don't think I received anything about financial aid yet.

Hi all,
Just withdrew from the spot I was holding at Stony Brook today. Good luck to all still waiting - hope my spot goes to someone really deserving of it! Sending positive vibes to you all.

Hey everyone, is Stony Brook receptive to pre-II updates? And if they are, how would I go about updating them? Thank you so much!

[40323431]

Can anyone tell me when finaid stuff needs to be in?

 

[_Panacea_]

Did you find out about this option at the interview? I'd love to know more about how that works (funding etc.) I'm interviewing March 1st.

 

[grey_wind]

anyone know if there is much interviewing left to be done? Silence since July 😵

 

[onemoreweek]

Does anyone know the chances of getting off the wait list (placed in December) in May? Is is ranked?

 

[easybreezybeautiful]

I interviewed here recently and, if I recall correctly, we were told during the day that interviews are continuing through mid-march. However, I have no info on if those days are already filled or if they're still extending invites to fill them.

 

[fastlikesloth]

interviewed Jan 5th....anyone else still waiting to hear?

 

[xtarion]

I interviewed on the 15th of Jan, and I still haven't heard back. I am surprised someone on the 14th and 19th of Jan have already heard back.

 

[Hera A]

Their timing for letting you know is definitely weird. I interviewed October 16th and heard back on October 30th, while other people who interviewed with me just heard back in Jan.

 

[fortheloveofhealth]

I interviewed on the 15th of Jan, and I still haven't heard back. I am surprised someone on the 14th and 19th of Jan have already heard back.

I'm also waiting to hear from 1/15!

I have an interview pretty soon and will have some time to kill in Stonybrook. Any recommendations on food or places to visit?

 

[xtarion]

Woo, I just got accepted 2 minutes ago.
