beginning of oct

 

[CHCl3]

for accepted students, if we accept the offer are we supposed to pay $100 within two days from today, or is that $100 only required after april 15th?

April 15th I believe

praying that the reason why i have not gotten anything back yet is because I interviewed in November 😭😭

[boomchickapow]

+1 IS A 😀DDD

 

[boomchickapow]

question - is the decision to 'accept' the offer binding? i assume no but the website is a bit confusing

 

[SupercalifragilisticNY]

By this thread im guessing they send the As on rolling basis depending on when the person interviewed. Im guessing nov-dec interviewees will prob hear back by end of week or maybe within 2 weeks…..

No, it's not. You can still drop the acceptance before April 15th, from what I'm reading. After that you have to choose to either "plan to enroll" or "commit to enroll".

 

[PencilWise]

Oh damn no news. Anyone who interviewed December heard back?

 

[doctorcat99]

IS A!! interviewed late sept

 

[meg24869]

Is anyone going to email them with the accept/decline decision?

 

[cemetaryFaIry7]

IS A interviewed 10/16

 

[spiderdude28]

Is there an accepted student group me?

 

[coolgirlxx]

Oh damn no news. Anyone who interviewed December heard back?

no decision, interviewed mid december 🙁 maybe we'll get decisions around v day?

 

[aspiringmed23]

Oh damn no news. Anyone who interviewed December heard back?

No decision yet, nervous and still waiting but fingers crossed!

 

[mdmdmd123123123]

If I interviewed on 9/20 and haven’t heard anything, is that bad news?

 

[GratefulGoat112]

Is admissions deposit due in 2 days, 5 days, or 14 days. Website says all 3

 

[riolustan]

IS A! Interviewed late October!

 

[riolustan]

Also I emailed them about the offer acceptance timeline lol. I also got confused w the 2 business day / 5 business day / april 15th of it all

 

[himikie]

IS A! Interviewed late October!

Congrats!! Also interviewed in late october but silent for me 🥲 Did you receive it today or yesterday?

I got it last night w the other batch of folks ! (I'm just bad at checking my email lol) -- stay strong though!!!

 

[mynicknameisnemo]

Sounds like the “first round picks” are being chosen but there are still lots of acceptances to go around for the rest of us

wondering the same thing :/

 

[marthuh]

Congrats on all the A's! I'm interviewing soon, any advise on what Downstate looks for or the types of questions they ask?

 

[LeftElbow]

for accepted people - just making sure, we don't have to submit the deposit or "plan/commit to enroll" until april 15?

I think it said that deposit must be paid in 5 days? maybe i misread though

Mine was pretty chill, interviewer in their pajamas. We just kind of talked about our interests and they asked me about an MCAT section i did worse on than the others. It really wasn't that intense or anything.

Just be honest and tell a well-timed joke here and there.

 

[LeftElbow]

IS A. The email was so unclear as to what the decision was that I was convinced it would be an R

 

[sayiduhh]

Anyone just get a rendered decision email?

whats that?

 

[buggaboobibby]

Oh damn no news. Anyone who interviewed December heard back?

Nope! Interviewed end of December 😭 now we wait

 

[sayiduhh]

has anyone who interviewed in nov. heard anything? Currently nervous

 

[spiderdude28]

Hey everyone! I created a group me for accepted students: GroupMe

Also best wishes to everyone waiting on decisions! 🙂

 

[pacesmom101]

I'm in the same boat as you! Wondering if we'll hear later today or in a few weeks lol

 

[drtobe_]

Do they accept pre-II update letters?

 

[peter_lambda]

Sounds like the “first round picks” are being chosen but there are still lots of acceptances to go around for the rest of us

Agreed. Saw a lot of the A's so far for people that are in the running/have acceptances at much higher ranking schools already.

I interviewed 9/28 but I'm not worried yet. Plenty of time and spots for the rest of us!

I interviewed in early october and same...seeing people accepted with later interview dates is stressing me out

 

[mdmdmd123123123]

Does anyone that contacted the school know if they will continue to release decisions on a daily basis or if we have to wait another week or two?

I'd assume in batches just based on previous threads. Hopefully February is the "big wave" at least for fall interviewees.

Honestly Downstate just goes through your resume. At least that was how it was for me. They really focus on your biggest weakness and ask you how youve overcame it. Then they go over all of your clinica/research and volunteering. I thought it was really thorough tbh, and it was also fair. Make sure you have an answer for your biggest weakness. Mines was my ugrad gpa, I went to an SMP program and did really good in it. And its also been over 5yrs since ugrad and have worked in research and hospitals since then, I spoke about my maturity over the years etc. so make sure u have an answer for your biggest red flag.
