i have an upcoming interview, can i assume it's for the waitlist at this point?

No. A bunch of people were literally accepted this week who interviewed recently.

Received an II 2/14! OOS

Sorry for my ignorance but can you let me know what does II mean?

 

[littlebearfanpage]

for those who have interviewed, where can you find the link for the weekly info session held on Wednesdays? for some reason I can’t find it in my emails or the portal

About a week before my interview I got an email with information about my two interviewers and the information session. This email contained zoom links for the interview, but to attend an information session you have to reach out to Stony and say which date and then they'll send you an email with the zoom link the day before the session

You have to email Admissions which session you want to attend, and they'll email you the link the night before.

The email they're asking us for is to hold our spot right? Was a little confused by the wording of 'stating your intention to enroll'....

[littlebearfanpage]

At the AIS today the asst dean of admissions emphasized that the chance of admission throughout the cycle is the same for everybody/people interviewing now don't have less of a chance than someone who interviewed in sept. Just wondering if anyone understands how this is possible w/ rolling admissions?

 

[Lane Jorgensen]

most of what adcoms say is not to be trusted

Any current students willing to answer a few questions I have? Thanks in advance!

 

[ak3162003]

is there significant waitlist movement or should i stop hoping for an A here

 

[oatmilkplease]

Anyone know if lectures have required attendance here? and if they're recorded?

 

[littlebearfanpage]

im not sure if it varies by year but in my interview w/ an M4 i think she mentioned lectures weren't mandatory

 

[augustfifther]

is there significant waitlist movement or should i stop hoping for an A here

From this website, there are ~300 waitlist offers and 65 students get off the waitlist. Idk how accurate it is, but seems like there will be movement once people have to start narrowing down their options or aid packages come out. I will likely withdraw my A, but I am waiting to see what financial aid packages look like, if I get any aid that is lol

Does Stony Brook accept post-II updates/letter of intent? I interviewed on 1/29. Do you think it's too late?

I'm surprised. So you have not heard back yet?

 

[LittleCoaks]

I’m also wondering if this school accepts post-II update letters. Do they value Letters of Intent? Looking to write one real soon

I think they do take updates, but I haven't heard anything about LOIs. If you call or email to find out, i'd love to know as well 🙂

Also did not know they did HPWL. Makes current WL’s a lot less promising huh

Yeah much less promising for us now... I have no clue where I am on the ranked WL. Glad I already have an acceptance but stony is my #1 choice by far
