Does anyone know if the PPD results has to be within a year?

Does anyone know if the PPD results has to be within a year?

The blood test can be within a year but I think the ppd has to be within a shorter period of time

[hosie618]

a few ppl dropped their A the other day and its been silent since hmmmmmmm hello DS give the A's!!!

 

[medschoolisthegoal]

Hey everyone! Am on alternate list and see that it says to send transcripts - does Downstate not already have that through AMCAS?

 

[confidence_is_key_]

I'm hoping to get a decision back by the first week of June. Their "4-8 weeks" timeline will be up by then for me, before I really lose it lol.

Haha nope, I didn't send any updates or anything. Praying you guys hear back soon!

 

[Microbe_Hunter]

I feel like theres an inverse relationship between updates sent and acceptances received 🙁

 

[hosie618]

Haha nope, I didn't send any updates or anything. Praying you guys hear back soon!

thank you for the info and good luck😍

 

[hosie618]

low-key....@ anyone that has gotten A's here, did you have any other A's anywhere else before DS accepted you off the Alternate list?

aka were you a free agent haha

 

[Persaudirabia]

Yup I was accepted to another school in early April before receiving the A to Downstate on May 1

[Mcath8er]

Does anyone know where or to whom we are supposed to send our proof of USA citizenship to?? Is it just the [email protected] email? I can't find the info in the portal.

I had an A, but hadn't "plan to enroll" yet for it. Maybe DS thought I was a free agent

 

[deleted1054798]

sent my health records to downstate like 3 weeks ago and radio silence. About to go talk to Mr Downstate

 

[justanotherpremedstudent]

Does anyone know how on-campus housing works? How do we submit our housing application form and $500 deposit?

 

[whatevenisthis]

Did you just email PDFs of the records? I did that yesterday but now I'm wondering if I was supposed to have my PCP send them directly or something.

I did PDF records, still waiting for the check mark. Those records have doc’s e-signature on it so idk why they wouldn’t accept it.

I also think student health is not as responsive as the admissions email so they could just be behind

 

[medarlac]

Does anyone know how long it takes for fin aid to roll in after getting an A?

 

[officefan123]

Anyone know why downstate isn't ranked?

 

[wowza777]

Does anyone know how on-campus housing works? How do we submit our housing application form and $500 deposit?

Email the application to [email protected] and they'll tell you to either mail a check or fax them a credit card information form that they'll give you.

 

[MedApplicant923]

Anyone know why downstate isn't ranked?

ranking on websites like usnews are unreliable. they create rankings based on any data they can receive from med schools/ retrieve from online. so, if they don't find any on a school, they most likely will not rank the school

check out this link as it explains it better: Why You Shouldn't Trust US News College Rankings.

also, check out msar or even better, the medical school's website, to get an understanding of the success rate of students matching into residency/ performance on Step exams! rankings are unreliable unless you do the research and rank yourself!

 

[whatevenisthis]

Any Feb interviews get accepted off the AL? or accepted in general?

Yep, similar dates .. all I see is Jan movement for 4/21 AL

 

[hosie618]

i barely even saw any Nov ppl getting A's

 

[girllllimanxious]

thank you for the response!! congratulations!!!

Anyone else? y'all free agents or 🙂?

Yup, I had another A before getting the A from downstate

 

[CorgiLoaf]

Withdrew recently, good luck everyone!

 

[scrubbedup20]

For people who got off the WL, were you able to see your financial aid package before deciding?

 

[Alfie1212]

Still haven’t heard post II and just want the A so bad!! 😢

 

[hosie618]

Yup, I had another A before getting the A from downstate

thank you for letting us know! were you PTE'd at this other school?

i'm just tryna see if there is a pattern in sending out A's to people who already have an A and are PTE'd compared to people who dont have anything.

 

[hosie618]

Withdrew recently, good luck everyone!

thank you for the positive to help the morale! good luck to you

 

[whatevenisthis]

What I would do to be on an A wave tonight ....

 

[hosie618]

What I would do to be on an A wave tonight ....

crazy that DS has had only one real A wave...... then one big AL wave wildddd

 

[forgetting]

I looked on the Upstate thread (where i was rejected post-I lolll) and someone from admissions said students on the Alt list wouldn’t see anything until the end of the month-first week of june. maybe Downstate will be similar

or maybe I’m completely delusional

 

[aspiring_doc_]

For those who were accepted, how long did it take for the criminal background check to be completed on the pre-matrix checklist?
