Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
does anyone know what is required for all financial aid here? I know there is FAFSA, but is there also school specific forms required, and if so what are they.
 
Can someone tell me about interview day here? How long is it, what is the schedule like, etc?

Begins at 9:45. I would get there with plenty of time to spare bc it's quite hard to locate the building.
Everyone has 1 interview in the morning, some have both. Usually last 30 min each, but I had one in my cohort talk to one of his interviewers for 1 hr and 25 min lol.
Lunch + tour given by 3 MS1 students at 12.
3 talks by deans of admissions - 15 min each. Ends at 1:45. If you had both of your interviews in the morning, you can leave now. If not, most of us had our afternoon interviews scheduled for 1:45-2:15 (~30 min). One person had a 2 pm interview. They try their best to get you out of there asap which I appreciated. Most interviewers were 1 MD, 1 student. Some had 1 MD/1 PhD or just 2 MDs.

Are people still holding out hope for the normal waitlist here? Wondering if most of the WL movement comes from the HPWL

Seems that most of acceptances will be off the HPWL, and if those people rescind they’ll make their way to the normal WL
 
Just got an II a few minutes ago and wondering if they are interviewing serious candidates at this point still or if this will just be for a waitlist spot. anyone have thoughts/ideas?

I asked the same question a couple of pages back lol. But apparently the committee doesn't interview for WL and everyone has the same chance of getting in regardless of the interview date.

Edit: just noticed your usename and I'm intl as well! Looks like they just put our files back to the very very end haha

Haahah good to know, I'm shocked I got an II this late in the game but happy to keep all options open (especially since it's tough out there for us non-americans)
 
Did anyone receive a financial aid package yet? or know when we can expect one? I submitted my finaid application last night lol, so just wondering if they're actively working on them yet

I submitted my institutional financial aid app in June and received the award notification the next day. This was some years ago, so not sure if/how things have changed. Rest assured, though, that the person in the office of student affairs who deals with this is fantastic.

There is an insitutional financial aid form in addition to FAFSA. Back when I started, I had submitted it in June (looked back at my emails). So I assume it's something that is sent out at some date after acceptance.
 
@Styrene How good is financial aid here? Do they often have tuition grants/scholarships? Any merit aid?

On our interview day they told us there is very very little air available outside of federal loans. They said the little aid they do get to offer is often only for those with demonstrated need who also show strong merit.

How do you y'all feel Step 1 becoming P/F will affect Stony Brooks match? Do you think it changes their H/P/F for the first year and a half now?
 
II just now, OOS LM 73 and complete some time in mid-August. How long do they take to get back after an interview?
