For those that were waitlisted, when did you interview? I am trying to sort of make sense of this school's process (it's not going that well lol)

 

[futuretraumadoc14]

waitlisted, interviewed beginning of Jan

 

[justanotherdesi]

I still have not heard back and I interviewed early December. Should I be concerned or celebrate that I haven't been rejected/WL? Im so nervous about this D:

Waitlisted. International. Interview 12/03

 

[futuretraumadoc14]

anyone know how much movement the waitlist typically has here? I've heard that due to COVID more people are being waitlisted but I wasn't sure if stony brook was known for having a big waitlist movement?

 

[grizz411]

I interviewed end of October and haven't heard back yet...lots of confusion

 

[mdpls!]

High priority waitlist, interviewed 11/13

Did they give you any information about the high priority waitlist? I got the normal waitlist and wanna know how to move myself up the ranks!

Congrats!! I did not realize they did High Priority WL!! What did your guys' email say?

 

[AdekFat]

Good luck to the high priority WL people. Hope you all get a spot so they can start looking at us low-prio bois.

 

[grizz411]

Congrats!! I did not realize they did High Priority WL!! What did your guys' email say?

ty!! it basically noted that we were specifically in a small group that will be given priority when people start getting accepted off the WL. They also specifically said the probability of being offered a seat is "very high"

Hey, current student here. In previous years, people were accepted off the waitlist even as late as May, but it may be different this year. DM me if any of you have questions!

Thank you for the info! Do you know how early movement typically begins? I would like to send in a letter before they start pulling people off the list, but I don’t want want to send it too soon.

 

[Sockomockey]

Post-interview R finally, interviewed 10/15. Peace out friends, good luck to all who remain!

Sorry, I can't say for sure, but I feel like it would be better to send the letter earlier than later. The letter will go into your file immediately for the committee to read.

 

[lovepickles]

i got waitlisted during the first round and i don't think anyone got high priority waitlist then... did they just make the high priority waitlist and is there a chance im on it?

I feel like they would tell you if you were on the high priority waitlist...

Does anyone know when the WL movement typically begins? Like should I only expect to see movement like the end of April or can there be movement even towards the end of this month?

I'm wondering the same thing. I know not everyone this applies to is on this platform, but in the past few threads it appears that WL movement does not happen at all until May.

 

[love_franks_red_hot]

has anyone complete in October been invited for an interview?

 

[MedSchoolHopeful777]

Is there a Facebook group for accepted students?

 

[medschoolapplicant5]

Is there a Facebook group for accepted students?

this question gets asked like every few days a couple of people have said there will be one in May made by adcoms, for now there is only a groupme chat linked somewhere above in the thread

Please could you direct me to the link? I've been trying to find it

 

[diazoniumsalt]

Anyone know if people accepted off the waitlist later in the cycle (like May/June) can still apply for the 3YMD?

 

[ethosuximideme]

Is there a Facebook group for accepted students?

yes, one will be made in a few months by both adcoms and current students.

 

[Loves puppies]

Hoping for some news this week!

 

[rmp12346]

Does anyone have an idea of how many people are on the high priority waitlist vs the regular waitlist?

 

[sunnyflower1]

Are late interviews pretty much just to fill the waitlist or do Feb/March interviewees still have a chance for an A? Do any recent interviewees have As?

 

[Vairo]

I Interviewed on 01/12 and am on 5 weeks now. Guess it won't be an acceptance.

 

[Loves puppies]

I interviewed 1/11 and haven’t heard back either!! I don’t think it necessarily means anything
