Speaking of timing... Do you see a time (not date) for the interviews? Are we just supposed to assume it'll take the entire day?

As far as I could tell they're going to let us know a few days prior. My confirmation email said this, but didn't clarify if there would be info sessions or something to fill the rest of the day
 
once you confirm a day they'll email you within a few days and lyk what specific time your interviews are. its not the whole day, more like 2 hrs
I scheduled my interview on Wednesday and still haven't heard more information
 
MSTP II this morning! OOS, 520, 3.26 undergrad, 4.0 master's, complete 8/14. Got a rejection at the same time so very happy.
 
For those of you with an interview soon, have you received info about the TR info sessions or the times of your interview? I would love to have any heads up so I can ask to take time off from work! Thanks in advance!!
 
any canadians or internationals hear back from stony brook yet. i submitted on 7/24
 
For those asking about timing: two open-file interviews on one day, ~45 min in length each. Optional info sessions on Tues/Thurs every week except holidays until the end of the year.

can you clarify what you mean by info sessions?

my interview was ~ 30 min in length, but yes 2 open file interviews. Not sure if it depends on the interviewer but fyi just so people aren't surprised to be cut off at 30 minutes 🙂
 
What numbers did y'all call to talk to admissions? When I called it said they're out of office bc of COVID but some people were saying they were able to speak with them!
 
Hi, I'm wondering how many people who are getting II are in state or have ties to NY? I'm OOS with no ties so I'm not sure if it's worth putting an application if they tend towards IS or people with ties
