I would imagine it was an initial trickle to test the system because that seemed to happen in previous years

I really hope that’s what is
Received an II today! VERY excited about this one because it’s the perfect location.

Oof based on previous threads, looks like I’m interviewing for the waitlist most likely. Any current students lurking who I can PM as I’m considering withdrawing the II?
Same here. Got II a week ago but since I’m likely gonna be interviewing for the WL, I’m likely going to decline the invite
Withdrawing II

Wow. You have 8As in your bucket already. While me waiting for this one acceptance from downstate and my life depending on it solely
We are the same person. Need this one or else I’m out of luck. When’re we gonna see some more movement??
All the best, y’all!
When did you interview ? I'm curious. Interviewed 01/11
What are the chances January interviews hear back in February ?
Last year decisions came out late February and it seemed January (and some December) interviewees did not get any results. It is my conclusion looking at last year's thread (which itself references older threads) that a January+ interview for SUNY Downstate is an automatic WL at best. (I count not hearing anything until getting an A in May as the same as getting off the hidden waitlist you were on). Sucks, since I haven't even had my interview yet, but it is what it is. They do have WL movement.
Maybe they change things up, but I would not count on it.

Same 😫 It was so stressful when they randomly released a few As and then stopped lol

And we can’t even tell if it was only a few As. Like it could be only a few of the accepted students reported on here.
LoL this is so frustrating. I can't imagine waiting 4 mos just to hear back. Totally unfair. And also how sure are we about the Automatic WL ? I saw people in last years thread that applied in March/April that got accepted. Sounds ridiculous that a school interviews for WL only.
I mentioned in my comment that I consider a May acceptance to be the same as being off the waitlist since May is the start of waitlist movement everywhere. Everyone interviewing from January onwards will likely only hear back in May (A, WL, R). There are no 'in-between' acceptances between February and May, based on historical threads.
do you have any links to this ?
I know on the portal they have a “Continued Interest” option for document upload but, does anyone know if they accept letters of intent?
Exactly why I withdrew my II. Not interested in interviewing for WL. I also saw an earlier comment that they treat marginalized students inferiorly (FGLI applicant)
Really ? that's so jarring. It isn't a big part of the school's mission statement to help the underserved. It sounds counter-intuitive to mistreat marginalized students. Smh

Is there a groupme of accepted students
When were you accepted if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to gauge if there’s only been those two days of A’s
There are no days besides 1/18 and 1/20 reported on CycleTrack, so I'd imagine that's all there's been
Anyone receive an invitation for a Campus Tour ? Wondering if its a good sign.
I did today, not sure if it really means anything

They outright stated (many, MANY times, on interview day and during information sessions) that nearly all decisions are released in mid-February. Specifically the first - third weeks.
We are not even in the first full week of February.
This thread is very neurotic, unless no one here knew this and everyone is truly in the dark about their timeline.

No. They have a list of registered names that they hand to the front security so that you can enter the building. If your partner is not on the list then odds are that they wont let you in. But you can always call the admissions office and ask them.
I was unsure of this too, but I brought someone anyways. Security let us both in and in the admissions office (where the tour starts) I just introduced myself and my partner as my "plus one". They seemed to have no hesitation or issue with it, everyone was very nice. I hope you have the same experience!
Anyone ask about when results come out during the tour? I know they said ~mid feb but I wanted to ask if someone inquired about this

I think it was like 50 minutes, but it probably depends on the students that are showing you around and how much they want to show
Yup, security didn't ask for my ID. I said I was there for the tour and they let me in.
I think it was ~90 minutes for our group. The current students sat down with us at the end and we were able to ask any question we wanted.
same- was so confused

Has anyone else interviewed but not been invited to a tour?
depends when your interview invite was, but if mid-january+, then you are interviewing to hear back in May (which is when a lot of schools start waitlist movement)
ahh got it, thanks!
