They specifically said (from the director, Marcel) in one of the first post-interview chats not to spam them and to only send additional updates letters after you've been waitlisted if you have significant updates (new research publication/poster, grades, new job, etc). Highly suggesting the side of caution so people's enthusiasm doesn't hurt them!
And I'm really empathetic to everyone going through this (especially since Downstate's process is more painful than most) and sorry to come across as harsh at all, but that includes spamming on here too - it's really stressful everytime people on the thread get additional notifications especially for question's that are answered earlier in the thread, speculation of more decisions, or hyperspecific questions that may be personal/sensitive to an applicant that can instead be DM'd! I know we want all the information possible and as neurotic premeds we’re trained for this but sometimes this causes more harm than good to the people around you and yourself.
Besides sending a LOI, significant updates if you actually have them, and trying to complete things on the pre-matric checklist, don't make the stressful process even more stressful & trust the process. I know its corny to say but truly the best advice from this painful process is to try and spend time with friends/family, on hobbies, read a book, enjoy the weather, and take it one day at a time. Hoping for the best for everyone and that you can find peace during these times. 🙂
