If you respond to confirming a waitlist position, they send an email back including this:
“Please note that the wait list is ranked and confidential. At this time, we cannot predict how many applicants will ultimately be accepted off of the wait list. In the past, approximately 30% of the matriculating students were accepted from the wait list.”

 

[Kingbika]

That's decent movement potentially!

anyone who has interviewed know if the two interviews are open or closed file?

 

[red melba]

anyone who has interviewed know if the two interviews are open or closed file?

I had 1 student and 1 faculty and only the latter was open file

 

[little_giant]

anyone who has interviewed know if the two interviews are open or closed file?

mine were both open

 

[Kingbika]

I had 1 student and 1 faculty and only the latter was open file

My student knew more about my file than the faculty member. Both open for me. Not that the faculty bothered to read any of it lol...

 

[Medicalmelon]

I had 1 student and 1 faculty and only the latter was open file

both are opened except for mcat and gpa

 

[ceeattemptsmed]

Had two faculty members and they definitely had access to my grades. One quoted my MCAT score

 

[caffeinatedMD8]

I had one faculty and one student and both of them were open-file for me. The student had my entire app in front of her and the front page had my GPA and MCAT

Has anyone still not heard back after like 10-11 weeks? Idk if I should just consider this a soft rejection or what.

 

[sooky1379]

me. really not sure what to believe either but am choosing to believe it's a rejection since I don't think anybody posted about post-ii R's and because it'll be better for my mental health lol

A few friends and I didn't hear back for around 3 months. We were all waitlisted last week

Anyone from mid to late November hear back yet?

[iluvmedicine528]

Mid-July, OOS

Nice congrats! I was complete 7/24 so hopefully I'll hear something back soon.

 

[Thekid765]

anyone know what the interview day schedule was like?

 

[stevec90]

Does anyone know if SBU offers any merit scholarships or scholarships to OOS students?

Also, does anyone know if claiming NY residency for tuition purposes have been successfully obtained by any previously OOS students?

 

[Dr. Rick Sanchez]

Does anyone know if SBU offers any merit scholarships or scholarships to OOS students?

I am OOS and after interviewing here it is my impression that residency can be established fairly easily after 1 year of living in NY. Also I think merit scholarships were scarce to none.

 

[Dr. Rick Sanchez]

anyone know what the interview day schedule was like?

2 interviews at varying times, some presentations, and a student tour/lunch

 

[dgnsc]

II for Jan
Complete Mid Aug
LM 75 IS!!

[surtur1997]

Stony pls

 

[Oranges_and_mustard]

holy —-!

just got A after 12 weeks?!

 

[pharmacystudent2019]

A! Interviewed 11/5, IS

 

[DevinBookerMD]

to all accepted people, is there anything on the portal? i remember seeing something a while ago but it disappeared.

 

[Kingbika]

holy —-!

just got A after 12 weeks?!

That's good news for everyone waiting a long time. Anecdotally it seemed that acceptances were quick and a long wait meant a waitlist. Looks like that isn't always true. Never go full neurotic hahaha

 

[koster35]

II. Surprised. I thought that II’s were just about all handed out at most schools. Can I ask those who have interviewed here (or even current students) for an opinion of the school? What are the likes and dislikes?

grats,
when were you complete?

 

[Shadowkeep]

Interviewed here recently.

Pro's:
Good regional reputation + excellent residency placement in the Northeast.
P/F and condensed preclinical curriculum.
New childrens hospital.
Lots of opportunities in global health, research, innovation.

Cons:
Suburban Long Island (2 hrs from NYC). Not a terrible amount to do around the area and a high cost of living.
Some older and outdated facilities.
Share facilities with undergrads and other professional medical programs.

I can clarify any of the above points or answer other questions if needed.

I thought it wasn’t P/F

 

[Shadowkeep]

I thought it wasn’t P/F

My student interviewer told me that P/F preclinical was just implemented for the current MS1 class.

 

[himalayansaltlamp]

My student interviewer told me that P/F preclinical was just implemented for the current MS1 class.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s P/F for some blocks, but not all. Can someone confirm?

Thanks!

I’m in the Southwest. Have any idea how residency placement is for out here?
Also, do you think that in February (when I can interview here), they’ll be interviewing for waitlist spots? I know some schools do this...I guess it depends on whether Stony Brook is rolling admissions?

 

[Medicalmelon]

it is pass fail for some blocks, particularly in the first 6ish months. then afterwards depending on the blocks it is graded.

1) Seems like stony has already sent plenty of pre-II rejections so you are likely still in the running. I have a 72 LM and got an interview invite so I wouldn't think stats are your issue.
2) I don't know about stony specifically, but I got some interview attention after sending an october update letter to schools that had been silent so i would try that.

Hi, do you mind if I dm you about how you went about the update letter? : )
