I was just placed on the waitlist, post-interview (10/5) via email.
I'll likely be withdrawing my application in any case. Good luck to to those still waiting!
edit: It's a great program (see some of my previous posts), but I think there are others who would benefit more from attending here that I would ultimately.

I'm sorry to hear that! If you don't mind me asking, how were you notified?
No need to be, I was planning on withdrawing my application after my initial acceptance to another program just never got around to it. This makes it easier to make the choice 😛
I was notified via email.
Thanks for letting us know🙂 Congrats on your acceptance!!
Thank you for calling and sharing by the way!
Any rejections or acceptances?
yeah and they basically told me to suck it
wondering the same thing as well?
25/188 matriculated students are OOS
right, the matriculation data is on MSAR, but I know schools accept more than they matriculate, as some accepted applicants will choose to go somewhere else. So wondering how many OOS are actually accepted
They don't give any data on that, as far as I know.
To those waitlisted - good luck, and don't give up! Plenty of current students (including me) got in off the waitlist, so there's still hope 🙂
II last week. This cycle has been so unpredictable.
Those data are available for a fee on the US News web site.
what day did you interview?
I'm sorry about your rejection, and I hope that you have an acceptance in Texas (if so, congrats and hopefully more to come). Would you mind sharing how they notified you and when you interviewed? Thanks!
Thanks! Seems like SUNY is almost random about the post-interview notifications this year. I interviewed the week before you and haven't heard anything. Good luck at the rest of your schools!
anyone else on hold until your fall grades are in?
Is that what you heard back from admissions yesterday, that you are on hold?
I'm not sure if the request for Fall grades is an "on hold" strictly at SUNY downstate, because I have read many cases on these forums of people receiving IIs just weeks after they are sent that request, even before the semester is done.. at least I'm hoping that it's not...
curious if you ever got an answer, or if you wound up sending in an update pre-II
if anyone else knows if they are open to it, feel free to chime in 🙂
I completed my app in mid july. No Interviews ): Is it too late for me to get an interview?
Never got an answer and don't wanna alienate my chances either 🙁
If it makes those of you put on hold feel any better, nobody has received an acceptance yet so it's not like they can delay things much further!
It's not. I got the request for fall grades back in late July. Received II like late September...needless to say, I was flabbergasted when I got the email cus I initially thought I was on "hold"
So it's not a hold then? It's just like...do it?
I interviewed on 9/16.
I Haven't heard anything back... no hold... no rejection.
How many people are still in the same boat?

Same. I also interviewed on 9/16. No news from them at all.
My friend was put on hold for spring consideration and accepted in July, a month before orientation. So don't lose hope if you were put on hold, I heard the list moves decently.
I interviewed 10/8 and haven't heard anything. Why must they torture us like this?

I interviewed 9/9 and also have heard nothing.
Also the hold list shows a lot of movement, so that is nowhere near a death sentence. I came off the hold list, as did almost all of my friends at downstate. All brilliant people who have done great things and will be great physicians. Things will work out. Just try to keep calm in the meantime. It's a long process.
We must have met then. Why are you setting yourself up for disappointment?
Why so nervous? I don't think anyone has actually been accepted yet.
II this friday (11/6)! I was complete on 8/20 and am IS 3.6/36.
I interviewed at SUNY in early October and mine still says that. I wouldn't think anything of it
Good to know! Thanks!
Accepted!! Interviewed mid Sept. OOS! great news
CONGRATS!! Via email?Accepted!! Interviewed mid Sept. OOS! great news
