Checked your post history and it’s clear you’ve had an amazing cycle. All your interviews were so late though, when did you submit your primary and what’s your LizzyM if you don’t mind me asking?

Does anyone know if becoming a NY State resident to get in-state tuition would make it harder to match back in CA?

Anyone know how often pre-clinical exams are, what the criteria are for election into AOA, and what Stony Brook's best departments are?

 

[MDthrowaway6]

So in regards to preclinical exams, I loved having our curriculum. The final for every unit, except for anatomy, were full NBME exams which are old USMLE step 1 questions. In my opinion this was essential because we did NOT waste time learning useless details that were not relevant to the USMLE. When it came down to studying for the USMLE, my whole class just had to review what they had previously learned because we basically used board-study materials during the units.

One of the cons of Stony Brook is that although we match extremely well, our home residency programs are not nearly as good as our medical school. Essentially, most people in Stony Brook hope to not stay for residency because we have better options coming out. So as far as best departments, none are really outstanding, but things might change with the building of the MART/cancer research building and children's hospital.

I was elected to AOA and to be elected you have to be part of the top quartile of the class. After that, they narrow down the list to 16% total by taking into account research, leadership, and if you have any beef with the administration (I know 3-4 people who were eligible but did not get AOA because they were not liked with the administration).

Thanks for being so thorough! Sorry if this is a dumb question but do they only take into account leadership experiences/research performed during medical school for the AOA or do they also factor in undergrad/post-bac stuff? Also what was your class schedule like during M1?

Aren't we supposed to hear back between 6-8 weeks? I will get in touch with them if I hadn't heard back by week 8.

Guess there is nothing we can do for now then. That's tough.

Interviewed late feb. No response. Last year, more acceptances went out in early april. So maybe its not over yet.

When I spoke to Nancy on the phone she said people typically come alone

 

[ac1995]

Like this if you’re eagerly awaiting response from a 3YMD interview

 

[Chewy0211]

Man the financial aid office/person here is the most unhelpful out of all the schools I've talked to. Pretty much told me on the phone that she has no idea whether I could declare for NYS residency during my 1st year and that I should ask someone else
