I signed up for a tour but have not had any follow up information of where to meet, etc. Do they send an email? Do i just show up to the school...lol

I just got an email today for tomorrow’s tour. They’ll send it the day before prob

For people who have had a tour/are going on a tour, is that only available post interview?

Yes. I didn’t get a tour invite until after attending the post interview chat session.

Anyone planning to call / email today to see if they have an update on how delayed they are with decisions?

Today is a holiday, I doubt they’ll release anything. President’s day btw.

I’m holding out hope that we hear back before the end of the month but other than that I’m trying to stay patient.

Did anyone drive to the tour? If so, is there parking?

Its NYC. Expect no parking. Take the train

you're looking at street parking or maybe paying for hospital parking but i would avoid driving if possible

 

[2024app411]

Downstate has a parking lot at 324 Winthrop St I think it cost a few dollars to park there. Best off calling security and confirming but I've heard that students could use it and it was available for the information session in the summer. Good luck!!

 

[sayiduhh]

i really hope we hear something tomorrow

 

[aspiringmed23]

I found street parking about 5 min walk pretty easily, but maybe I got lucky

 

[PencilWise]

Would highly recommend against driving. Better to commute if possible.

 

[coolgirlxx]

Maybe today folks 😀

 

[aspiringmed23]

would not hearing back in the upcoming wave mean we're waitlisted most likely?

Hard to say but I’m leaning towards no. There’s definitely another wave later in the spring for people who interviewed in the new year. I honestly don’t think any of us have a good understanding of how downstate is releasing decisions.

I dont think Downstate has any good understanding of how they release their own decisions….

lmaoo fr they really are a mess with this every year.... how did they go from saying they would release decisions by new year to this

Hi all- wondering if anyone knows when Downstate stops sending interview invites- sent letter of update but still waiting.

 

[sayiduhh]

Ok now who said that 👀

the dean of admin said new years in nov.... then they said valentines day 🙁

Hi! On 02/01/24 I received an interview offer and the only dates available was 3/19 and i think one on the last week of March. I landed up scheduling just to see even though it is very late in the application cycle. I would hope to assume as more people receive As from other schools maybe the interview list might open up. Best of luck and hope this info gives some hope!

 

[blueyear]

for those that went on the tour, how long post interview did you wait to get the invite and info for that?

Thank you for the info!

I interviewed in late November and got the tour invite in early January

 

[bdizzle646]

Has anyone called/emailed recently? I called early last week and got the generic "decisions have begun to be sent out you could hear back anytime from now until April"...

 

[Woop99]

do they accept pre ii letters?

 

[tennisfan72]

Did anyone touring tomorrow get an email with additional information?

 

[oologah2]

Hey everyone, is it cool if my mom comes to the tour with me tomorrow? We flew from out-of-state and are wondering. Thank you.

 

[2024app411]

According to people earlier on this thread they allow partners and family members to join. I dont think anyone on my tour did that but I dont think anyone would've cared. I would call the admissions office to make sure she could get on the security list of visitors so they don't make issues.

[feebdweeb]

Has anyone heard back this week? Does anyone have any insight on when we might hear back??

According the responses here and on cycletrack no has heard since Jan 31st

Also according to those who heard back, only people who interviewed prior to Nov got responses.

But for those wondering I interviewed in October and still haven’t heard back…

 

[Saw243]

I had one of the first interviews in July. I haven't heard back

 

[Anticheat]

Hopefully next week guys!

 

[moonhitmed]

I think they’re trying to see how many of the initial acceptances reject them through CYMS before they send out more.

 

[aspiringmed23]

I thought their deadline to send was mid feb I'm confused did they make up a fake deadline?

 

[yourgfgf]

When was the last time someone called? Technically they said “ after Valentine’s Day” in all their messaging to me so they haven’t lied lol. I’m happy to call again if it’s been a minute.

 

[coolgirlxx]

Yeah and on the website it says they give the 14 days to accept or reject decisions too so they’re probably waiting to see how many of the initial wave of As reject

 

[augabear]

I wonder how many people they accepted in the initial wave

 

[mdmdmd123123123]

I just called. The front desk person said they thought they released a wave earlier this week. Maybe she was confused and something will be sent out soon? bc no one here nor on cycle track has mentioned anything? I'd encourage someone to call again and confirm maybe tomorrow or on Monday?

 

[Premed9444]

Pre-II R

 

[wannabepedsdoc]

Big ass R! Hahahahha downstate lost its hospital and on top of that a great future physician. f em

Pre-II or Post-II?

The only response worse than “we don’t know when” is “oh I thought they went out” 🤦‍♀️

 

[hopefulphysiciansoon]
