Congrats!!! Seems like II are trickling out here and there...they must have made some decisions post-II...the uncertainty on when we'll hear back is so draining 🙁

Congrats! I'm curious - which interview dates were available?

 

[AliGisele]

Did you interview today?

No this was back in Dec. I'm just still thinkin about it lol

Interesting. When I got the II in early Jan only open dates were mid-March. I assume some people rescinded their interviews. The paranoid part of my brain wants to say "oh no AnonymousDoctorGuyPerson, you were only given a later date on purpose" but I'm gonna not try and focus on those thoughts lmao.

No, I decided not to since they specifically say not to unless asked... Seems to have worked out just fine!

That makes sense, I thought it was bizarre that they had such a short turn around this late. Hey, at the end of the day, an interview's an interview, paranoia be damned! Congrats and best of luck to you in March!!

Im in the same boat. ii in December only opened for march and April. I wonder what that is about

I'm quite sure it had to do with availability. A lot of schools gave out acceptances in January, and so a lot of people probably withdrew invites they had in February. Certainly nothing to be worried about haha. No use for us worrying otherwise 😛

Did the Dean come out and talk to you guys? Who gave the presentation/s?

The dean gave an informal presentation/talk around noon. My group had two second year med students give the tour and eat lunch with us. I didn’t attend the financial aid or residence hall presentations, so I’m not sure who gives those presentations if you’re interested in either of those.

Dr. Joseph right?

Everything about Downstate feels informal and gritty, which I appreciate lol.

Thanks

WHEN ARE THEY GONNA RELEASE DECISIONS????? February 14th, I'm assuming? can't wait for the Valentine's Day heartbreak <3

 

[little_giant]

Recently interviewed here.. Was told decisions were "just about to come out".
Also for stats not listed on USNWR and MSAR: Downstate accepts ~40-50% post II!

I was told by a Downstate admissions person!

 

[why_not]

I was told by a Downstate admissions person!

[little_giant]

do uk what % they put on wait list?

I don't sorry :/.
I think it was 5,000 apply. 1,000 interview. ~400-500 accept (Im guessing this includes waitlist). 200 matriculate.

[greennotebook]

Congrats! When were you complete?

 

[Rihannalover]

Anyone else have a really long and somewhat aggressive interview? Mine was about 1.5hrs with a psychologist and they dissected every grade I didn't do well on and psychoanalyzed my entire life story. Not feeling too good about it!

Does his name start with a S, cos I think I had the same Interview and for that length too

 

[walterwhite3556]

Traditional. Roughly 1 hour long. Interviewers ask a standard set of questions, then they ask a set of questions that the admissions committee came up with about your application, then it's just conversational after that.

complete 8/6 and I received the continued interest email mid Jan

 

[lalano1230]

So I get that some non-rolling schools release their decisions on a specified date in march..
I was told when I interviewed in late Nov. that we should hear back sometime late Jan., but seems like this is dragging on and on.. 🙁

I think around park slope, prospect lefferts gardens, or flatbush would be your best bet as long as you’re close to the 2/5 trains.

 

[brainreducio]

I really hope decisions are released this week I’m so tired of waiting

 

[RNApolymerACE]

Will be withdrawing my II/app here. Good luck guys

I was told that there is no set date for decisions to come out, “early February” is the best we get

atta boy

 

[BreakfastFoods]

Do we get an email or phone call for decisions? Also does everyone hear back or is it just people that get accepted? Do we hear if we got rejected or waitlisted as well?

 

[Kingbika]

"early February" has to end on the 14 pretty much by definition, so I'm also hoping for this week lol

 

[embryonalrhabdomyosarcoma]

I feel like "early February" is before the 11th to be honest, 11th-20th should be considered "Mid-February"

 

[Medicalmelon]

Does anyone know what time the afternoon (1030am) interviews end?

 

[U1122]

You should be out by 2 latest.

 

[LexieGreyMD2019]

Can we all agree that early February is over? Lol anyone brave enough to call and see what they think they’re doing?
