Anyone know when the adcom usually meets?
I heard somewhere in SDN that they meet every Wednesday. However, this could be pure speculation. Any curent student that could confirm or deny this rumor?
Is their a Fb group for accepted students?
For the people asking if it was normal to not hear back yet if you interviewed a while ago. It all depends on your interviewer. When I interviewed in January a few years ago I didn't hear back for literally thirteen weeks. With this process, there's really no use trying to figure it out. You're still in the mix until you see a rejection, anyway!
Just called to find out if I was interviewing for the alternate list because I was never told about it. If it's any help... she asked for my interview date (3/7) and said yes it would be for that list. So if you interviewed then or after, there's your answer!
You interviewed?
Yes. In February.
Accepted!!
Congrats!!! Accepted just now too!
I interviewed mid feb
Accepted just now after being put on hfs in January, interviewed in mid October.

Got accepted today! Didn't send anything in. Interviewed in Feb.
Accepted!!! Interviewed in November and previously on HFS... feels surreal!!!!!
Does downstate use certiphi for background check? Or do we have to go to other website to complete the requirement?

has anyone who interviewed in mid-feb or earlier not heard back yet?
They use Certiphi!
Moved from HFS to alternate list just now. Interviewed mid Dec., HFS early Jan. Non trad, Lizzy M mid 70s.
Same... just got alternate email
+1
Did they move everyone to the alternate list? I wonder what the odds of getting off it are
Based on reading last year's Downstate thread, everyone that was on HFS that didn't get off by now is transferred to the alternate list.
72-74 LizzyM, instate hopping on the alternate list train. Interviewed in october, HFS in November, so I'm not feeling too good about hearing back positively.
Also moved to the alternate list after being HFS [emoji15]
Moved to the alternate list. HFS in November. There sure are a lot of us!
It's probably not based on interview/HFS/response date. I'm sure there is some ranking, although idk how strictly they adhere to it. Sometimes if an IS student withdraws they'll take another IS or they might try to keep male:female ratio fairly equal or replace a nontrad with another nontrad. At least I've heard other schools do this
Looks like the HFS-->alternate list shift happened earlier than last year which was even earlier than the year before. Wonder if this means anything.
So far late March 2017 SUNY-DS SDN
HFS->ALT List purge n=15?
Seems like alt listers can potentially expect some significant movement in early May that trickles off into June.
Question is, how many additional HFS applicants, if any, remain that are not yet moved to ALT status? and what impact, if any, does previous status have on alt list placement moving forward?

So, finally made an account. I was also placed on the alt list. 🙁
