Almost 8 weeks since my interview, anyone in the same boat? Hoping this is good news, as two other schools I interviewed at in March have already rejected me.
I interviewed late February - so just barely over 2 months now - and I haven't heard anything yet.

Definitely don't fly in from California for the he pre-orientation! You can very safely skip it. You won't miss out on anything worthwhile.

Anyone still not hear one word from Stony Brook at all? I've seen acceptances/rejections / waitlist but do they also do silent rejections.?
When I google Stony Brook Med 2020, I found the group.
Update, the page I found is for the dental class 2020.

All I can see is the group for the dental class of 2020. Do you mind posting the link you found?
You are absolutely right. The one I found is indeed for the dental class of 2020. Sorry about the confusion. I guess we have to wait a little bit.
I emailed the admissions office then received an email from the registrar (or was it the bursar) saying I'll receive my refund in a month. The refund came in about 3 weeks after that email.
Any idea when we will receive our FA award letter?

Hi guys so is safe to say WL movement can be expected from the 15th onwards? I didn't realize it before but I see that AMCAS has pushed traffic day from the 1st to the 15th.

Wow, didn't notice that change until now. But I think, unfortunately, it means they have to notify the school that they are poaching from starting May 15. Waitlist movement seems to be already under way and for applicants with acceptances (poaching), just not that many posts on SDN I think.
Where is this change posted? Thanks!
That's actually really weird b/c I'm on the wait list for another school as well and they emailed me today asking if I'm still interested in attending their school. In the email they said "Now that the April 30 deadline has passed and you have narrowed your choice of medical school down to one..."
Do the traffic rules differ from school to school?

April 30/May 2 was traffic day. As far as I can tell, the May 15th thing is just about when a school that wants to nab you from a school where you're already accepted at has to notify them.
if you click this link, it doesn't go to the aamc pdf you intended, it goes to the medical college of georgia login haha 🙂
also, that's the 2014 traffic rules, as far as I know, as of the 2015 cycle the change was from May 15th to April 30th, so this is only the 2nd cycle it's been this way
Hahaha well you know where I've been frantically refreshing. I updated the link now. Thanks for point that out.
This is the 2016 one

I was told by one of my interviewers at Stony Brook that they try to accept as many students as possible without wait listing them. They said if you don’t hear back after an interview, that it likely means they want to accept you and are waiting for seats to come back in order to offer one. I don’t know if that is true, but I was accepted today after hearing nothing for 2 months post interview. Best of luck to all that are still waiting!
Lizzy M 69, IS, took 2 years off after science undergrad (I don't know if that makes me traditional or not)

That's what my suspicion was, otherwise they would've already put me in the waitlist pool. Thanks, and congratulations
I interviewed months ago and haven't heard anything. Kind of unprofessional, no?

It seems like you were right on the money. After not hearing anything for over two months I got accepted here on Tuesday, 5/3.
LizzyM 75ish, ISish, also in my 2nd year off since completing my undergrad.
Same. Today marks 6 months.
So this may be a stupid question, but the 2017 MSAR has data regarding the number of people interviewed and accepted, is that data from a previous year or is it this application cycle?
Edit: didn't see they said 2015 entering class lol

How much time did they give you to respond?
