Just an update that I got my financial aid letter today so some people might be withdrawing their A's if their package was underwhelming or non-existent. Good luck to those on the waitlist!

IS A, interviewed 12/10, bamboozled now in shock

 

[mschapp]

when will stony brook let you know if you're flat out rejected after the interview? like do they send rejections right when they send acceptances or do they wait until the end of everything to send Rs?

did they just let you know now that you were waitlisted? or was this a second update?

 

[lawnmower101]

What does high priority email say?

just the usual stuff that it will likely start moving before the regular waitlist

What’s the difference between HPWL and WL, and does it tell you in the email that you’re one vs. the other?

 

[moooink]

Does anyone get rejected here post interview ?

What’s the difference between HPWL and WL, and does it tell you in the email that you’re one vs. the other?

Regular WL here, but just answering your question, it does specify in the email which waitlist you're on. HPWL is high priority, so presumably any initial openings will go to them first. My hunch is that there is one ranked waitlist in which "x" positions at the top are deemed HPWL, and the rest are rg WL as those at the top are very likely to be offered As given past cycle movements. That being said, looking at previous cycles threads for Stony, both HPWL and regular WL have been offered spots. Whether the ranking is dynamic (or set in stone) and whether it's possible to move from rg WL into HPWL is unclear, but that's the situation. Also, it appears that HPWL is going to people who interviewed way more than 6-8 weeks ago (ie late nov-late jan) who just heard back now (could be wrong tho).

Regardless, for now, the waiting game continues. Remember, it isn't over till it's over. A number of people will give up their As, and not everyone offered HPWL or rg WL will either accept the WL or accept the A given financials and juggling offers from other schools. Patience is a virtue, so I'd say just sit tight, do your due diligence with significant updates/emails, and manifest seeing that acceptance email!

I know we’re all in a similar boat but genuinely so ready to just get a response from them. End of Feb interviewers do we think next Monday is the day?

My interview was also late Feb but I haven’t heard back… I’ve been checking my email all day this week. Hopefully we’ll hear back tomorrow or next week.

I interviewed the last week of Feb with an A early this week - So hopefully soon!

+1 OOS HPWL

 

[orgoforever]

anyone who was waitlisted a few months ago being placed on the HPWL now? Or is this all of your first notifications?

 

[maddyrawr13]

First notification interviewed 2/24

 

[caramelephant]

Does anyone get rejected here post interview ?

Yes, I've seen a couple post-interview rejections in the forums of the past few years

 

[elephant98]

+1 OOS HPWL interviewed end of Jan

 

[JurassicPenguin]

+1 IS HPWL interviewed on 3/5

 

[LargeTortoise]

Are only people who interviewed recently being placed on the HPWL?

 

[LQTS]

+1 IS HPWL
(II october, interviewed 11/8, ty letter sent, loi 1/30, loi 4/3, placed PWL 4/18)

Are only people who interviewed recently being placed on the HPWL?

I think anyone who hasn't heard back post-interview for a while (more than 8 weeks) is ending up with either an acceptance or HPWL spot

 

[lovingmed]

Withdrew my A today - Wishing the best of luck to everyone on the WL 😊

 

[maddyrawr13]

Are the chances of getting off HPWL actually “very high”

 

[mamaMother]

I received an HPWL email the other day, and I emailed to accept the offer, but it's not reflected on my portal. is anyone else having the same problem?

 

[QuantumDreamer21]

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back? Or have we moved to the waitlist phase now?

Also, if anyone is withdrawing their As or not accepting the HPWL offer, then it would be super cool if you could post a quick message in the thread so the rest of us regular plebs can gauge our collective delusion 🫠. Many thanks lol!

 

[orgoforever]

did anyone who get waitlisted early on recently receive a HPWL?

I got interviewed 3/6 and haven’t heard a thing 🙁 I’m guessing I was being interviewed for the WL at this point… hate that SB weren’t upfront about that.

are you referring to the AMP portal for your supplemental application? or the amcas choose your med school portal. I'm fairly certain based on what they told me on my interview day that at this point in the cycle they dont use the AMP portal as much anymore and stick to email communication. I also didnt have any sort of update through the AMP portal, but it did take a few days to update in the AMCAS portal if thats what youre referring to

 

[VINILOVER123]

IS A let’s go

 

[medhopeful249]

OOS A! Interviewed 2/24.

 

[mamaMother]

if the WL is ranked, is there any use in sending another interest letter?

 

[LQTS]

if the WL is ranked, is there any use in sending another interest letter?

I'm sure if a substantial update is included within the interest letter there would be consideration for candidacy. Will it move spots around just depends on how strongly the update is aligned with what they value within the applicant's profile.

Are the chances of getting off HPWL actually “very high”

Is there a way to find information about waitlist movement trends other than stalking SDN & the public MSAR waitlist information sheet? I'd really like to know if RSOM HPWL classically gets cleared in most cycles.
