does downstate tell you your rank if you ask them?

Probably not tbh but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and ask?

 

[jeffreysorandom]

Nope, I tried. Gl just withdrew from WL

 

[ktmck]

It’s such a money grab to make us reapply at the same time being on a waitlist but as if it’s not bad enough I need to take time off work to go to the doctors so I can submit health forms by July 1st even tho I may not even get in. I’m just so upset and frustrated

Congrats!!! Did you send an update/letter of interest or intent?

Yes I did, before I even got waitlisted.

Would you mind telling us your mcat score and if you're orm/urm?

That might have been me. At the info session, he said that between the end of May and the end of June. Obviously very ambiguous but I took it to mean that most of the WL movement takes place in May, while A's go out in June after someone drops out or declines the offer.

Same here. would be funny if they had us side by side and went with you.

[pupa4077]

Where are all my 50X MCAT homies at? Who else here has stats so low that they got them boots with the fur?

 

[orcawhale]

is anyone having trouble accessing the downstate banner platform to see their financial aid?

 

[ktmck]

How do we submit proof of citizenship?

 

[tryingtogetin123]

How do we submit proof of citizenship?

just email admissions office with a passport or license (i think)!

 

[tryingtogetin123]

is anyone having difficulty accessing the required health forms needed? would highly appreciate it if someone can DM the stuff needed if the link is working on their end

 

[coolkid5678]

Does anyone know or have called about how full the class is as of now? Just tryna get a sense of how much WL movement is left

class has been full and only way alternative list moves is when accepted students drop their acceptance.

Just got accepted off of WL last week. 509 MCAT and also did not have any volunteering and technically my clinical experience wasn’t technically clinical. Did research but no pubs. Also found out around 2 pm on a Wednesday. Planning on enrolling too!!

 

[PaulBlartCallMop]

Not sure what is considered low stat, but I have under a 510 with not great ECs and also sent my primaries in early July. There is hope!!

There is a link on the portal that takes you to the pdf forms, which you then email to them after they are filled out (as one pdf)- you need forms 1,2, and 3

 

[orcawhale]

Direct Med Grad Plus in the financial aid is just a loan right?

Where are you getting this information from? First I've heard that the class is full. Admissions said it wouldn't be full until mid to late June.

[PotatoSauceTomato]

Yup

 

[tryingtogetin123]

Well that gives a bit of closure (but also not really)

 

[cat_chase_dog]

Holyyyyyy nuts I just got an A!!! I’m kinda freaking out but also my job fully does not have anyone to replace me and I signed a new lease so time to figure out if I can do a deferred acceptance 😬

Btw: OOS, ORM, 3.69/516, LOTS of research and clinical experience

I’m so happy your one AL turned into an acceptance! You deserve it, congratssss!!

 

[koreanpear]

It appears my time will never come 😭😭😭😭

As a low stat applicant, which you could probably tell by my username, I feel the same. I don’t know why I even got an interview 🤣 🤡

Deadass fr, they interviewed me in september to make me thing i got a chance. They gotta be prankin me for a youtube video

 

[monkeynuts]

Recieved an A on monday. However, I will be turning it down to commit to another school and I hope it goes to someone here without any As 😊. That being said, I'd like to show you all some problematic things I've discovered about this school and I would urge people who have other acceptances to go elsewhere, especially PoCs. Check out this instagram account @blackatdownstate This school has a reputation for sabotaging minority student's grades during clinical skills.

 

[monkeynuts]

Lol. Definitely kinda hate Downstate for making me move out of town, but the instagram account bashing downstate was made in 2020, so it's pretty unlikely that I've been masterminding this for 3 years.

Have any accepted students got their health clearance marked completed on their pre-matric checklist? I am trying to complete it before leave the country for vacation but the student health office has been unresponsive to my emails.
