2016-2017 Stony Brook University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
last year there wasn't any until a couple weeks into May. Also you should join the Stony Brook WL thread if you are interested in WL movement.
 
I was actually accepted earlier this week, so it seems like they may still be making decisions on people who haven't heard anything yet.
 
Did anyone else on the waitlist receive an email from FinAid about their FAFSA being processed today?

I did too... I put them down in my FAFSA (just in case) and the email said that they received it.

I also put them down on my FAFSA back in January and I didn't receive the email you guys are talking about. Maybe you have good news coming and I'm getting kicked to the curb? Just speculation of course.

Does anyone know what the Stony Brook pre-orientation program is? The email (from last month) says it will take place on June 2, but I will most likely be unable to attend. What happens during this program, and is it mandatory? Thanks!

Submitted FAFSA in October, no news from FinAid. I did correct my fafsa multiple times though for different schools. 😕
 
Congrats! Were you guys off of the waitlist? Or direct accept?

Accepted off the waitlist as well!!

I was sent an email last week asking if I was still interested in Stony Brook. I interviewed late October and was waitlisted mid-November. I did not send a LOI/update letter.

For those of you still waiting, hang in there and best of luck.
 
Did those who were accepted get an email or a phone call? Congrats all! Keeping fingers crossed 🙂
 
Thanks guys! My acceptance was off the waitlist (interviewed on 3/3) and the letter came via email. Best of luck!
 
uh oh bad news for the rest of us waitlisters! I can practivally feel the odds dwindling

I like the positivity! I sure hope so because although I'm definitely happy with my acceptances SB has always been on the top of my list. Also, IDK at what point it's too late to still say yes to an acceptance when I already have my apartment and roommate set up/ deposit in..

For all my WL, I'm giving myself till June 1. If I hear nothing from them, then I'll settle on Netter (which is a fantastic school, btw). Having about 1-2 months for finding roommates and apartments is reasonable, I think.

Thanks! Yes, I got an email like that. It required a response, so I used that as an opportunity to write a "letter of intent" considering SB was my top choice.

Also looking to see what goes on here. Is it mostly to find potential roommates?

They likely sent that email when they already intended to accept you from the WL. They do that to lower their chances of being turned down. If you had said "no" then they would have known to move on to the next person on the list. The letter of intent at that point wasn't rly necessary.

I don't know. I just figured I'd give it a shot.
 
Does anyone know how to pay the housing deposit if electing to live on campus?
 
Shirafune said:
You can pay via SOLAR account. Login > Campus Housing > Grad/Fam Apt Deposit

Thanks! I got confused on SOLAR for a second cuz it says I did not complete my tuition deposit... Turns out there is a glitch.

congrats man. i knew it would be good news.
 
recent acceptees- have any of you received information regarding health forms?
Also for sending in transcripts- do we address it to Nancy Acevedo or any of the office staff, or is it simply:
Office of Admissions
School of Medicine
Stony Brook University
HST, Level 4, Room 174A
Stony Brook, NY 11794
 
I just withdrew! Stony Brook was my first acceptance so it held a dear place in my heart, but ultimately the location wasn't right for me. Good luck!!

I actually called them yesterday to ask about the health form. They told me that we will be getting it in June.
 
Any current students able to comment on what they do outside studying and medicine? Is there much free time?
 
Sidney Kimmel Medical College (Jefferson University) or Stony Brook University School of Medicine? I need to make a decision fast, and I would sincerely appreciate opinions!

What's the price difference? If it's a 100k difference and you will be taking out loans, 100% Stony Brook. Also, how important is it to you to match in New York/NYC? Stony Brook is more likely to help you match in the area. Jeff is a lovely school in a great part of Philly, but it's not worth 100k extra.

Thank you for the quick reply!!

Stony Brook is 14k cheaper/year. Are there any factors besides for tuition that would make one a better option over the other?

Matching in NY is a very high priority for me. You think going to a NY school provides an advantage for this?
