Does anyone know by when most seats fill up? Are December interviewees essentially fighting for waitlist spots?

Good to know, thanks for the info!Definitely not. They interview until mid-March and offer acceptances throughout the interview season. I would say if you interview towards the end of Feb/early March then maybe.

There's an LIRR stop right at the school so you can take that from Penn (or E to Jamaica then LIRR from there for a slightly cheaper ride). It's ~ 2 hours probably so bring a book
Is the "Stony Brook" stop close to Admissions, or would I have a significant amount of walking?
They recommended a free shuttle that runs every 30 minutes or a cab for $8-10.
Rejected, complete early August
Congrats! Making us fellow internationals proud 🙂Accepted today!! Interviewed 10/11. International-OOS, LizzyM 74. Very happy, had a great time visiting the school.
Not sure about which airport but from JFK take the AirTrain to Jamaica station and then the LIRR to Stony Brook- brings you right to campus. See earlier posts on the best way to get to admissions from the train station 🙂 (either cab or free shuttle or walking if you're up for it)Does anyone know the cheapest way to get to Stony Brook from the west coast? I have been looking at flights, and it looks like flying in to JFK is better than ISP, but how do you get to Stony Brook from JFK? Is it worth it just to fly in to ISP?
Rejected today 🙁
Complete 8/2 IS
LizzyM?Rejected today 🙁
Complete 8/2 IS
Did anyone who interviewed in September hear back today?
Still waiting too 🙁
Why does this school have such a low post-interview OOS matriculation rate? According to MSAR, last year 2500 OOS applicants applied, 236 got interviews, and 32 matriculated? According to a poster here and US News, they take around 50-60% of applicants after an interview (I'm assuming that % is the average of IS and OOS applicants). This MSAR number just makes no sense
Do they just take few OOS students after an interview? Or do OOS students who get acceptances here not choose to matriculate for some reason?
Essay question? There are no essays after you get an interview... 😵Just received a II, I applied in my senior year, does that mean I should answer the 2nd part of the first essay question?
they only send the essays to people who they want to accept. The rest of the people who interview without essay is interviewing for the waitlist.Essay question? There are no essays after you get an interview... 😵

Well it's on the Internet, so it must be true!Is this actually true?
Is this actually true?
Also waitlisted today after interviewing the end of October. OOS
I'm sorry to hear that 🙁 Hang in there littlefry, things will work out. And a waitlist is better than a rejection!Waitlisted. This is my first choice. I can't stop crying.
