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.”
I had 1 student and 1 faculty and only the latter was open file
mine were both open
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...

both are opened except for mcat and gpa
Had two faculty members and they definitely had access to my grades. One quoted my MCAT score
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.
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

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

Anybody complete mid-to late July or earlier and hasn’t heard back?
Stony pls
holy —-!
just got A after 12 weeks?!
just got A after 12 weeks?!
A! Interviewed 11/5, IS
to all accepted people, is there anything on the portal? i remember seeing something a while ago but it disappeared.
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

grats,
when were you complete?
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Some older and outdated facilities.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

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?

it is pass fail for some blocks, particularly in the first 6ish months. then afterwards depending on the blocks it is graded.
Hi, do you mind if I dm you about how you went about the update letter? : )
