That... doesn't make sense? That would mean 100-125 ppl are accepted off the Waitlist, but MSAR states that Downstate aims for 190 entrants. If thats true, that would mean almost 65% of matriculents are coming off of the WL.

I was in that same session and I took it as 20-25% of the matriculating class comes from the waitlist

 

[exhaustedsloth]

I

On the meeting last weekend the admin guy said ~500 alternates, w about 20-25% that get off

Wow that’s so many. I thought the odds were a lot better than that ngl

 

[PotatoSauceTomato]

Wow that’s so many. I thought the odds were a lot better than that ngl

Think someone before had said the class was 40% from the waitlist?

 

[mdloading23]

Any current students around and willing to answer a few questions?

After accepting the WL position on the portal, did you guys get an email w a downstate.edu account?

Had a friend that did, but I didn’t receive anything.

Bumping this cuz it got buried. After confirming you wanted to remain on the WL, Did the alternates all get an email confirmation w a NetID and downstate account? My friend did but I did not and it’s got me worried

[POJJERZ]

If I upload a letter to their portal, do they automatically add it to my file, or should I email them as well?

At the info session thing last week they said we could send a quick booster email to let them know that you put uploaded something

 

[coolkid5678]

Any March interviewers get accepted yet?

 

[ccmedical]

Congratulations!! The waitlist movement has been giving me some hope 🤞 if you don’t mind me asking, had you received a confirmation email about being on the alternate list / making a suny downstate account? Some people got that email and some didn’t it looks like

Thank you! I just got an email to check my portal on April 3rd when I was put on AL, and I got a similar email yesterday.
Also, today I got an email with netID and a new downstate email address.

Thank you for your help! That lessens my anxiety then, thought I messed up for not getting an email with the netid lolol

 

[monkeynuts]

are there internal rankings for Pass/Fail for pre-clinicals?

Yeah, it's not really just Pass/Fail. This is what I found:

"Bolded in the summary paragraph are the descriptors Outstanding, Superior, Excellent, Very Good, Good or Competent. The numerical boundaries for these category are found in two locations, including a table immediately preceding the summary paragraph. The size of each category is Outstanding 5%, Superior 15%, Excellent 30%, Very Good 30%, Good"

So you'll be ranked in comparison to how well your classmates do.

 

[ltina]

Does anyone know how many students are in the accepted groupme?

Just bumping this🙏

 

[clsh1234]

Just bumping this🙏

so far there's 48, but that's including some current medical students

Hey,
Can one of the current students briefly describe the on-campus gym? does it have most of the standard machines/dumbells, and equipment that a regular gym would have?
