Yeah I emailed them to ask what's going on, but I'm probably just going to withdraw from consideration after their response either way.Wow, that's pretty bad. I would call/email them and push for that acceptance.

II!! Completely unexpected. So ecstatic right now.
Agreed, I'll keep ya postedplease let us know their response! super curious to see what they say, this is incredibly unprofessional
Just got an II! Lizzy score 66.2 and complete 10/19. For those who have interviewed, how was it and any advice? Is it one-on-one or is it a panel or MMI?

One on one. It was fun. Interviewer was super nice and they gave a tour of the school after with two current students and then a lunch/q and a. Depending on the group your in you might have the tour first. You should enjoy it if your interviewer is anything like mine was.

That's just not going to work at all LolThey emailed me on Wednesday saying my interview had been scheduled for the 17th. And that I should confirm it and please try to make this date because rescheduling is difficult.

I already made plans at this point for January because less than one month notice is so obnoxious
I interviewed in early October and I was also just given a date to attend about a month in advance. It seems that's just how Downstate schedules interviews.I was lucky enough to have scheduled my other interviews around that date so I'm free. But I too felt it was a little presumptuous not to at least get like 2 or 3 date options. I would email them right away and tell them it's just not enough notice and say you have something scheduled then already.

Is Downstate still giving out II's? Been complete since late august and havnt heard anything. Expecting silent rejection at this point.

That's so messed up...wthUpdate: the acceptance email was a mistake. For some reason, they failed to notify me about the error. To anyone who gets an acceptance email: call and verify that you've actually been accepted, we really can't trust these *****s at all.
That is absolutely vile. It's insane that they made such an error, let alone failing to report it to you.Update: the acceptance email was a mistake.

Nope, got an emailDid you ever get an acceptance letter in the mail?
Nope, got an email

I stayed here and loved itI just looked up the Comfort Inn that is close to the school and apparently it's permanently closed...
Where did people stay before the interview?

They sent me the waitlist email 9 or 10 days after the acceptance email. I immediately emailed them to ask what was going on, and they responded to that email about 5 days later (I'll give them a break on that delay though because they were probably out of the office for the holidays). I really have no idea what I would have done if I'd withdrawn from other schools, there would almost certainly be lawyers involved though, I definitely wouldn't let an unorganized admissions staff member ruin my entire careerThat's pretty egregious. How long did you say it's been since being accepted and finding out it was a mistake? What if this was your top school and you withdrew your other apps. Were they extremely apologetic?

They apologized, but I wouldn't say they were extremely apologetic, and their "apology" email was actually pretty confusing.
Wow, that's pretty bad. They really needed to just accept you at that point to save face. I'd probably make a complaint to the higher up administration, just because you're not going there doesn't mean that's ok to do.. I wonder if you're the only one 🙁They sent me the waitlist email 9 or 10 days after the acceptance email.

Yeah I should probably let someone higher up know. I sure as hell hope I'm the only one!Wow, that's pretty bad. They really needed to just accept you at that point to save face.

II this morning!

Thanks my friend, I appreciate itScrew them honestly. If I were you I would have called them and really let them have it, but then again you don't want to proceed to rashly especially in the middle of the cycle. But still though, that is some straight up bull, Man do I feel for you.

You know, I do plan on going to sleep at some point. Why torture me with this?!so these mistake happen pretty frequently. my friend's sister was a pre-med/pre-dent student. harvard med was her first choice and columbia dental was her second choice...she was rejected after interviewing Harvard and got accepted to columbia dental. Four years later she bumped into the interviewer from Harvard med at some national conference. The interviewer was surprised and curious why she didn't go to Harvard Med. Long story short...they later on found out that it was because an administrative staff put her name on the wrong list when they sent out the acceptance letters. So instead of giving her an acceptance letter, she got a rejected letter. One dumb mistake from someone she didn't even know changed her whole life...

Have any other people who interviewed mid-November or after received their decision? I'm past the six week mark now and getting worried
