2020-2021 Stony Brook

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It is unusual though that people who interviewed on later dates already heard back with their acceptances.
yep that's the part that worries me

For those who interviewed/accepted (first off congrats!), was the interview closed or open file? And did you send thank you letters? It seems that they don't make the contact info of your interviewers available to you so I'm wondering if those who were accepted did some digging to send thank you letters or not

Open file

Yes I did, I sent them to the interview coordinator who forwarded them to the interviewers! I didn't do any digging.

Quick Question-- for those who got the acceptance email they asked us to reply with an Intention to enroll. This is a non-binding offer right where you can still hold acceptances from other places? I just wanted to make sure, thanks!

Did you upload it onto the portal?
I uploaded it in the portal and sent an email. Got an II a few weeks after, and they encouraged more updates if you have them

For those who have interviewed already - how was the structure? Were the interviews open or closed file?

Open file, one student, one admissions person. Both were super friendly and conversational

Also, I understand that SBU doesn't release interview times until the week of, but does anyone know how long the interview takes approximately? Need to schedule for PTO :/

I think it depends what time each of your interviews are scheduled for. Mine got scheduled back to back for two consecutive hours. So it seems like each interview will last less than an hour, but I suppose the length of your day will depend the times at which each of your interviewers are available.

Yeah mine were more spread out, so it was like 9-11, and then 2-3

So it's two one-hour long interview??

I haven’t had mine yet, so I don’t know if they last a full hour each, but definitely no longer than an hour each, as mine are scheduled for 10 and 11am. Sorry I can’t be more specific!
 
Kind of a dumb question but I'm trying to add stony for my fafsa and the only school coming up is SUNY at Stony Brook which seems like the undergrad institution...does anyone know if this is what we select? Or does the school of medicine have a separate school code (that i cannot find)
SUNY at Stony Brook is the official name of Stony Brook
