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

The way I look at it, you have nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain lol. In the email, they said it is ranked (pretty sure this is the same WL email prompt they've been sending for years), but also said to upload/send any updates, so idk. I don't think the adcom is obligated at all to abide by the WL as is. Theoretically, they could admit whoever they want in whatever order they want 🤷‍♂️

OOS A at 1 pm today! Interviewed 3/4.

hey guys! has anyone received a rejection from the mid-February interview?

 

[rizzz15]

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?

I am wondering the same thing. have you heard anything about this since you posted?

 

[secondariesftw]

If you look at cycletrack it seems that last year all the rejections listed ended by March. This year it looks like the last wave of rejections came March 17th.

My guess is that unlike some other schools (like Einstein), they didn't interview 1M people where they have to flat out reject 90% of the people they even interviewed. Thus, if you were interviewed and haven't been rejected already, you are at least under consideration.

Did anyone get finaid?! I haven't gotten it from SBU despite getting accepted back in October!

Visit day somebody asked, and they said they would get back to everyone who requested it by Wednesday or something. I think you may want to send financial aid an email requesting a breakdown though. Not completely sure it was kinda confusing.

Are they done releasing direct acceptances or waitlists (HPWL and WL) post-interview? Has anyone still not hear back from them post-II? I am still in the waiting loom, and I hope I get some kind of decision before May 1st... and not be ghosted (T-T)

I just called them they said that I could expect my fin aid in July but I’m like I need it before then because isn’t the final day to commit June 1st? I’m also trying to negotiate for tuition.

I am in the same boat. Have you reached out to them? I emailed them last week and they just responded saying they will contact as soon as final decision has been made. 🙁

No, I did not since I was expecting a similar response.
Maybe they are holding people and waiting for people to withdraw? Or sadly, could be a R that will only be decided once waitlist movement is over? I don't know I have been trying to understand the situation while waiting.

No, I did not since I know the obvious response would be that they are still reviewing and will let me know soon.

yes. it is really hard just to keep waiting for the email to come. any updates on the application would be helpful.

when was your interview?

I agree 100%. I interviewed the last week of Feb.

If yall havent gotten a decision yet its looking good. I think RSOM is reasonably good at giving out rejections and waitlists post interview. If you are in the dark regarding decisions then it means they re continually evaluating you. Meaning its either a straight up acceptance or HPWL.

Take that with a grain of salt, its from reviewing trends from this year and last year.
🙂

Thanks, I really hope so.

Withdrew! Best of luck to those still waiting.

+1 HPWL — Interviewed 3/6.

Does anyone know what the odds of acceptance actually are? Can I remain on this while choosing another medical school for CYMS?

UPDATE: I also received a “Wait List” email separate from the HPWL one. Was one a mistake? Or do they send both automatically?

Withdrawing my A today - good luck future doctors!
