You mind sharing their response?On the information page it says this:
"This form should be submitted directly to the Office of Student Admissions"
"The Office of Student admissions may be reached via email: [email protected]"
So I'm assuming it applies to other forms as well. I asked about the transcript thing in the email.
You think so? Thats odd. Dont they already have our transcript?
I assume electronic transcript is fine?Yea all schools require it for some reason. You have to resend all transcripts to them directly for verification. I think it's because AMCAS doesn't give them the actual transcript, just their own grade report.

Are all you guys cpr certified?? Lol
Your pbl group will be set up with 2 mentors who will offer you advice.Any recommended resources to pick up for Block 1? Or study tips. I know some people ditch the lectures and use other resources for exams etc. Just wanted a general idea of where to start!

Unit 1 is different than the other units to ease you into school. Many people go to unit 1 lecture (this unit is not stuff you can really learn from Step review materials). You can use Costanzo for physiology and then use BRS and Gray's Anatomy for practice anatomy questions.
Everything you do unit 1 will be relearned in other units when you have a better understanding (this is a good thing). Like right now, I'm reviewing bone remodeling because we did parathyroids this week and I understand it so much better than I did unit 1.
The only advice that I wish I got is to read the MSK section of first aid and learn your histo. The NBME exam will draw from stuff mostly in first aid. The anatomy questions on the NBME were all supraspinatus and winged scapula while Gray's and BRS cover a ton of stuff. It is easy to push histo aside and still do well enough to pass the first 3 units, but now a lot of pathology involves looking at slides. I regret not giving myself a stronger foundation when there was more time, and the people who know their histo are very good in histopath this unit.
Enjoy your summer!
Maybe some post traffic day movement today?
Just got off the alternate list as well! I have to respond in a week but Does anyone know if that means I need to drop my other acceptance as well because it's post April 30?

Yep. Congrats!I think I just got accepted off the alternate list but I'm not sure--- did everyone else's letter look like this?
"SUNY Downstate- College of Medicine Prelimiary Notification"
This is a preliminary notification that the college of medicine admissions committee has reviewed your application favorable for an acceptance. An official acceptance letter will be mailed to your preferred mailing address.
Yep. Congrats!
Question: this is my first acceptance and I am just so thrilled but I sent an LOI to another school before I interviewed at SUNY and fell in love with it :/ I'm WL at the other school and I'm not sure if I get in but if i do and decide on SUNY...what happens?
I'm most probably going to downstate. Sending in my deposit now. If my two options were Downstate or NYMC which schools would you guys choose and why? Thanks, just thinking about some stuff.
Big heartfelt congrats to everyone who got off the alternate list today... but it also looks like I'm headed for a second cycle and this is definently the worst feeling I've had sigh
Did people who got accepted off the alt list submit everything on the checklist?
No I didn't.Did the people that got off the alternate list complete the clearance checklist they emailed?
Yesterday and the weeks before I was feeling the same way. I know it's annoying to hear it but don't lose hope. I was shocked today and I can name ALL of the mistakes in my app and reasons I wasn't the perfect candidate but good news does come. "assume the worst, hope for the best". I know it is a terrible feeling because I was already preparing my second cycle materials. This process can be so random and I'm sure you're a wonderful candidate and will be a wonderful doctor.Big heartfelt congrats to everyone who got off the alternate list today... but it also looks like I'm headed for a second cycle and this is definently the worst feeling I've had sigh
Definitely NYMC. Hands down.
Yeah I'm dead opposite this opinion. Didn't even apply to NYMC.Definitely NYMC. Hands down.
Downstate for sure. If you're in state you'll have better tuition. Plus the clinical exposure you'll get in Brooklyn is incredible. Ofc I'm biased towards Downstate as it is my top choice so take my opinion as you wish.I'm most probably going to downstate. Sending in my deposit now.
