Members don't see this ad.

Same here but OOS (IS ties) and late Feb interview. If they’re going in chronological order, I hope there will be spots left by the time they get to us.

Early Feb interview , Late April AL worried about the same...

Wondering if there are any accepted students FB groups or groupmes or housing chats?

 

[ZNY2021]

For the people accepted off the alternate list, did you already complete the pre-matric checklist?

 

[futureOBGYN!]

I am on the AL and I didn’t see any pre-matric checklist. Did you receive an email about this?

I don’t think there was an email, but when I checked the portal it was on the left side menu

 

[Persaudirabia]

For everyone on the alternate list, I didn't start or even look at the pre-matriculation checklist before I got the admissions offer, it definitely isn't a requirement for going from AL-> Acceptance.

Wondering if there are any accepted students FB groups or groupmes or housing chats?

Downstate Marketplace FB Group
There's a large housing spreadsheet pinned in the marketplace group's announcement tab.

Downstate Class of 2025 FB Group

I am also going to make and post a link to a Downstate 2025 Discord chat, trying to stay away from GroupMe since it gets messy.

Update:

Here's the Discord Server link: Unofficial SUNY Downstate Class of 2025 Discord Server

Are you sure that second FB groupchat is for the college of medicine? The approval questions were asking for major and course codes so I wasn’t sure. Please let me know!

I am honestly not sure but I would assume so based on the name. I would go ahead and create another FB group but it seems a little redundant. Regarding the codes, I just left them blank and I was still let inside.

I also just made the Discord Server, come join and say hi fellas:

No not yet!

People being accepted off the AL while I’m just chilling waiting on a decision from my March interview...should I just assume I was out on the AL? My portal hasn’t changed at all since my interview

man i hope not, im in the same position. i really hope they can get back to the mid-feb and onward crew, at least with some sort of decision so we know they looked at us.

 

[pre-med202022]

If we interviewed in Dec and did not get off the WL yet, do we think all hope is lost?

 

[Microbe_Hunter]

I interviewed in November and am still on the alternate list. Is it hopeless for me?

 

[gogogryffindor]

anyone who interviewed 4/9 hear back yet?

 

[lg123]

could be a good thing, last year a bunch of people who didn't get AL or post-II R were accepted in early May

That’s be awesome lol

 

[whatevenisthis]

May the 4th be with us

 

[hosie618]

[Microbe_Hunter]

if it's any consolation, I have LizzyM 76 and have not been pulled off any WL including downstate so stats arent everything

 

[KayTr]

Yes, I did

 

[tahinitajin]

Interviewed end of October--heard back for the first time after complete silence for 6 months on 4/21 Alternate List---no A yet 🙁 IS
Losing hope don't have any A's yet 😢

 

[L1lBoat]

For those that are still on the AL, are you guys going to do the blood work and physical or are you going to wait until acceptance?

Over my dead body will I get pricked by a needle before being accepted to a medical school lol. And to think I give injections on the daily as a medical assistant lol.

[whatevenisthis]

I interviewed before this but haven’t heard back yet, I wonder if they look at IS and OOS on separate timelines or whether it’s gonna be a WL/R for me...
