I submitted my secondary Dec 31 11:58 PM. Wamc?

Honestly, very low. That is extremely late in the cycle. Best of luck, though!

 

[Unlimited Apps]

R just now, pre-II. LM 72, complete mid-August. No worries though, good luck to folks still in the running!

Honestly, probably the best-worded and thoughtful medical school rejection email I have seen this cycle.

 

[jbshine5]

Also interviewed 12/14 and haven’t heard back... lol what..

 

[futureFormerChild]

pre II R just now, OOS, complete late july

 

[Canadiangal14]

Pre II R, OOS, complete late July

 

[The Silent Sentinel]

Does anyone know how SBU's waitlist works?

 

[kritkatbar]

pre-II R just now, complete back in july

 

[Powerlifter95]

Big fat pre II R from my own state school

 

[propylene.C]

In state and got the pre-II R this morning. Complete in August.

 

[Mariokart101]

Got the R. Have a good one everyone.

 

[chr1s]

Just got an II, scheduled for 3/5. Do you think that I have a chance, or am i most likely interviewing for the waitlist at this point?

They have like a 60% post II acceptance rate. Even if it is for a waitlist, I think a lot of people get off the waitlist at this school. I say go for it if you would be interested in attending this school over your other current options.

 

[To Freedom]

Withdrew my II spot. This was really hard as a SUNY Kid, but I just don't have anymore travel/interview money left at this point in the cycle. Good Luck to the rest of you.

 

[jbshine5]

Does anyone know if the school is receptive to emails/calls asking when we expect to hear back (if it’s been more than 8 weeks)?

I believe they are based on what they said in the interview. Will you let us know what they say?

 

[CHSNY]

pre II R..competed mid September

 

[Desperate_premed1]

Anyone from Dec 14 hear yet?

 

[NewYorkIsBestYork]

Just turned down my II, only date they said they had available was mid to late march

 

[astoldbycringer]

Accepted yesterday, interviewed last week (!)

 

[ag9145]

Accepted Friday, interviewed january

 

[Desperate_premed1]

Still nothing from Dec. 14....

 

[Pikachuchu]

Still nothing from Dec. 14....

I'm wondering if maybe they forgot about you guys from the Dec 14th batch or had some sort of complications with that interview date. That's quite a long wait time, and not the usual. Sorry to hear that.

 

[bensous]

Still nothing from Dec. 14....

Haven't heard anything either and I interviewed on 12/11

 

[confused2266]

Still nothing from Dec. 14....

Same, I interviewed in mid-December and still haven't heard anything. I'm wondering whether this means that we have been rejected and they're waiting to tell us until April 1st

 

[jchen56]

Did anyone who interviewed in mid December hear back at all?

 

[KurtR]

Just posting to let everyone know that I interviewed in mid November and I have not heard back yet.

 

[makemeadoctordoctordoctor]

Just to reiterate - I contacted the school and the admissions office agreed with the MD/PhD office that they are being VERY conservative with acceptances because of the new traffic rules and are not sending out most of their acceptances until April/May.

 

[equilibrant]

II just now! Complete 9/18

edit: Interview dates available 3/7 + 3/14

 

[Maya Tennson]

Do we know how many acceptances have already gone out? Or how many more we could potentially expect?

 

[medschoolhopeful3]

Does anyone know if Stony Brook is receptive to letters of intent?

 

[jchen56]

Did anyone who interviewed between mid Nov and mid Dec hear back yet about decisions? It's about to be 11 weeks since my interview date and I'm still left in the dark unfortunately

Keep your chin up! I am pretty sure that their process is not as linear as we think. Some ppl interviewed after me and were accepted before me. I know its been a while but keep hope alive. Also, I believe some posters in last year's thread waited a whole bunch and were still accepted right of the bat. It may be that your interviewer has not been to committee? Not sure why the delay but don't worry I am sure it is normal

 

[lovepaperlikemichaelscott]

Does anyone know if Stony Brook is receptive to additional letters of rec at this time post-ii?

 

[arfy123]

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to apply to the 3 year md program and they said in the acceptance email that the deadline was Feb 28 at midnight however the link to the application no longer works... Any ideas on what to do?

 

[arfy123]

Were you able to get it to work? Having similar problems!

unfortunately, no

 

[Maya Tennson]

I wonder if many students ended up applying to the program so they just closed it early bc of high demand? I saw that they would only take 15 students

 

[alyxxs]

Accepted. Interviewed about 2 weeks ago. Really appreciate the quick turn around.

 

[greenspandex]

Accepted today! In-state. Interviewed on 02/14. First II and first A so I'm thrilled. App complete in second week of Sept.

 

[aspiringMD47]

Just withdrew my waitlist spot, hope it helps for someone who is waiting for a decision or on the wait list!

 

[Zathric]

Seconded, but I want no responsibility in actually doing the work.

 

[scienceiscool123]

Can any current student speak to what most first year students do living wise? On campus apartment complexes or renting off campus housing/complexes?

Just accepted and wondering the same thing. It seems on-campus housing isn't really much of an option. So far I'm looking at apartments in Port Jefferson, but I'm considering other neighborhoods.

 

[John_Dorian]

Are there any nice/affordable apartment buildings or complexes anyone could recommend?
