Crap, good point. I am just thinking II's.

And I guess I was wrong then. Crap again! I want some news...

State school here would be nice to have a shot!

 

[Dr. Stalker]

annnnnnnnnnd I'm at the 3 month complete point today - hoping for an II soon 🙂

To those who have interviewed:

What time did you start? I live out on the South shore, just east of JFK essentially, and am carless when home. I was planning on taking the LIRR out but am afraid of a 730AM start.

 

[deleted642188]

How legit is this 2 month wait? Are people actually hearing back in 2 months?

I was ready for review on the 4th of August (a little less than three months). Cricket chirps in my stead 🙁

They send you an e-mail a week in advance what time you should come in. It varies within the interview group, I was told to come in at 10:45am, some people were told to come in earlier and some later.

Thanks!
Do you think it would be unwise to email Ms. Acevado and ask for a start time after 10AM? Earliest train into SB is 9.38AM, I believe.

 

[y123]

I told them that I needed to leave early, and they gave me really early interviews. I think I finished at 2 or 3pm?

 

[y123]

Just ask. There were a few who had a start time at 11am in my interview group.

Yeah, just ask! They're very accommodating.

II, LM 72-74, complete in July.

 

[simplesloth]

II this morning! So unexpected, but I'm so grateful. I have family in the area that I would love to be closer to, so I've had my fingers crossed for a NY interview this whole cycle, and Stony Brook was one of the schools I'm most interested in!

OOS, nontrad, LizzyM ~70, complete 7/27

Worried mine might be coming soon.

 

[ephemchao]

When were you guys complete?

July 14th

 

[noflag]

Interviewed 10/16 and didn't hear anything today. Is that an obvious bad sign? Or is it possible my interviewers didn't come to the meeting? Not sure how this works

 

[Fastrada]

Were rejected people OOS? My secondary essay wasn't good, haha, but I was complete 7/10-7/13 and not rejected

Lol dude that's crazy speculation. Nothing is linear

 

[noflag]

to those accepted, did your portals change? Seems like they've accepted only a few so far compared to earlier years threads

 

[asw98]

Yes. It says this:

 

[wolfley]

my friend was rejected yesterday and he is IS and was complete on 7/14. so they have rejected IS people as well as OOSers
I'm IS, was complete later in july and have not heard anything yet

 

[oreolucky2468]

Out of curiosity, how are people choosing between the SUNY med schools?

 

[Hera A]

[Fastrada]

Buffalo and downstate

 

[Hera A]

Buffalo and downstate

Gotcha. I'm OOS, so those are the only 2 I applied to

 

[rukia013]

Does Stony Brook do silent holds? I've been complete since 7/8 and haven't heard a single thing, not even a rejection, and I'm coming up on the 4-month mark :I

Question: are acceptances not linear? I interviewed 10/6 and haven't heard anything... Has anyone gotten rejected and or waitlisted post interview? If they are already sending out acceptances, whats the big hold up for me? I'M DYING OVER HERE

I don't think they're linear: I interviewed on 10/16 and got the acceptance on 10/30...which blew me away since I thought they said it was supposed to take 6-8 weeks

I interviewed 9/24 and still haven't heard anything lol

 

[Styrene]

II today.
4.0/38. I went to community college for two years.

Was complete early October due to a major committee letter delay (I ended up forgoing the committee letter in the end).

 

[Mr Magpie]

Withdrawing my application. My interview was scheduled for December 10th.

I hope those of you still waiting hear some good news soon.

[Hildace]

Oh No..did you get an email?

Yes I did. It was well written, although not quite as well as BU's.

 

[Spector1]

reject oos. Does anyone know if the admissions people at stonybrook are willing to give feedback on the application?

 

[FumblyBumbly]

Wave of rejections! Me too. OOS, complete mid September.

 

[CellPowerhouse]

reject oos. Does anyone know if the admissions people at stonybrook are willing to give feedback on the application?

According to the admissions website (http://medicine.stonybrookmedicine.edu/admissions_SOM#correspondence), Ms. Grace Agnetti "is the principal source of advising for those applicants who were unsuccessful in gaining admission into Stony Brook Univ. School of Medicine." I believe she can be reached via the SOMadmissions e-mail.

Edit: sorry to hear the bad news. I hope the rest of your cycle goes well!
