Do you mind providing a small summary of your applicatn info so we have a sense of where they are on the waitlist? (GPA, mcat, instate/outstate, medical experiences, date of interview). Would greatly appreciate it!
Is anybody actually fully health cleared
they emailed me saying they haven't started processing the health clearance forms yet
It’s because the link is combined with another link — you have to find where they divide (before the second https which is actually just ttps because they didn’t even paste the whole link) and then I got the forms from the first link, which I hope is right!
Does anyone know how we are supposed to submit the other stuff like citizenship proof, bls, etc in the meantime?
I sent it via email and they confirmed receipt and checked it off on my checklist. Transcript you have to send through your undergrad registrar (via parchment or whatever service they use)
congrats! when did you interview?!

Appreciate you - congrats again
Congrats! Did you do any of the stuff on the pre matric checklist prior to getting off the WL? This is my only interview as well. Also when did you get the notification?
I sent my transcripts but nothing else on pre matric list. I also sent a thank you email after getting alternate list, not sure if that did anything tho. Email notif about final decision early afternoon today

Did they check off your transcript on the prematriculation check list?
yeah after about a week
I sent it via Parchment
Did you have to notify them through email or anything?
Nope!
PTE next week! Fingers crossed for plenty of movement
I got a question about the transcripts. Shouldn't they already have all of our transcripts? I am a non-trad applicant and finished school a while ago. The transcripts I sent to AMCAS were my official transcripts. Do I need to resend them to actual downstate or are they okay w/ my AMCAS transcripts?
AMCAS doesn’t send your transcripts to the school. They verify your grades you submitted on AMCAS and then send the AMCAS application over to the schools. So yes, the schools know your grades are validated through AMCAS’s verification team, however they still require the transcripts for themselves before matriculation.
This is the case at every medical school. Wherever you matriculate, you will be required to send your transcripts before the start of school

Did Downstate send an email to accepted students saying the AMCAS CTE deadline was extended a few days? I know a few other schools did that
What’s the deadline now if anyone knows? Is this the May 1st thing?
Do you have the email text

Why the hell would amcas do such a thing ? It’s extending our pain
I don't think this came from AMCAS ... it came directly from the schools who were delayed in sending financial aid packages out. I was wondering in Downstate also sent a similar message out to their accepted applicants
Hopefully not bc I don’t think Downstate even provides finaid since it’s a state school already
Radio silence td?
Seems like it they’ve only been releasing decisions Tuesdays over the past few weeks

Would they even release As tomorrow? Since it’s April 30
Not expecting any big movements maybe a trickle like the last few weeks

Does anyone accepted know if they extended the deadline for CTE past 4/30 for the purposes of giving out aid packages bc of the FAFSA issues?

Are we supposed to see the AL schools on your "choose your medical school" tool in the AMCAS?
I believe that if you have access to CYMS (i.e. you have at least one acceptance) on AMCAS, yes, you would see your AL status. However, CYMS only becomes available if you hold an acceptance *somewhere.*
