The false hope these alternate emails give me

I called and they said you get the emails if you have something incomplete on your checklist. Mine is proof of citizenship which i sent in but they removed the check from my list for some reason. :/
Is it normal for the white coat form to remain incomplete? I filled out the survey they sent out awhile ago already but it is still unchecked.

Mine isn’t checked off yet.. they just finished going through all of them today so we should be receiving the check in 1-2 business days according to admissions.

Did you guys submit blood tests for the vaccines?
They sent my health stuff back saying they want blood tests for the vaccine antibodies. I live in a state where my insurance isn't taken and there was a huge "OR" on the form suggesting that you didn't have to complete the blood tests if you have had the vaccines. I don't want to pay another $200+ out of pocket to see a doctor and get it done

Is the police background check our responsibility to get done? And if so, anyone know if there is a form for that anywhere? I emailed the student health office, and they haven't gotten back to me yet.

They’re combining the two things I’m best at wasting time and wasting money

Anyone know how long it takes to get added to the facebook group or how to speed this up? I sent a join request over a week ago and messaged a few of the admins. Still waiting.
Yeah, I've also lost pretty much all hope at this point.

Hey guys, I just got the following email from SUNY this afternoon:
"Dear Applicant,
A review of the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool indicates that you have selected “Plan to Enroll” to another medical school.
Since you do not plan to attend SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, your application will be withdrawn from our active list of accepted students.
We thank you for your interest in the College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center."
However, I never received an acceptance email from them, I was just on their waitlist. Did this mean they had accepted me? Has anyone else gotten a similar email?

I received this email as well. I also never received an acceptance email from them
Also received this email a few weeks ago. Called them and they said all waitlisted applicants who chose PTE for another school received the email and that I should just email back saying I want to stay on the WL. I had also thought I was accepted and didn’t realize haha disappointing :/

Thanks for the info! Not gonna stay on the WL as I'm already going elsewhere but glad to have some clarity, since SUNY has not given us much of it 😆
Has anyone on the alternate list heard of any movement on the waitlist at all? It has been a month since they've accepted anyone.

No but last year people were accepted around July 10th. Maybe we will hear something this week.
Was offered a spot in Bridges, couldn't be happier!!
What’s the bridge program?

Just offered a spot on their bridges program. Not sure what it is since there's no information online about it. Just that it includes a guaranteed acceptance for 2020 if you complete all the requirements

Usually the bridge program is a masters program where you need to get over a certain gpa
Do you have to apply for the bridges program or did they just offer it to you from your standard medical school application to Downstate?

They offer it to you. I was rejected off the waitlist and then offered an acceptance to this program. Based on what the program director was telling me, it seems that it is only offered to disadvantaged or URM students whose interviews went really well, but were not offered admissions. They want to eventually convert this program into a full on master's program
Wonder if anything will happen now that it's passed the CTE date

I find it really strange nobody has posted an acceptance since the beginning of June.
Yeah it’s definitely different than all previous years when there’s been many postings in June and July! I even called and they said they accept until orientation and didn’t mention anything about this year having less movement
