2024-2025 SUNY Downstate (Brooklyn)

[laxgirl123]

When you compare it to last years cycle track the total amount of accepted is pretty similar, so idk how many more waves they're going to have.

it seems like less than 50 ppl have been accepted so idk how they wouldn't have a lot more As

as of rn there are 15 people in the GroupMe chat

when I checked yesterday there were 13, so they’re definitely still sending them out slowly

 

[meowmeow625]

Can anyone who’s going to attend tomorrows virtual chat give us an update afterwards 🥲

I noticed that also... Based on last year's SDN thread, it seems like they had a ?big? wave in late Jan and then very small waves later on. It's hard to know what really is going on. I think they have their monthly virtual chat tomorrow, so hopefully they give additional insight on their current status regarding acceptances.

How do you get the link to go to the virtual chat?

How do you get the link to go to the virtual chat?

I got an invite email on the week of completing my interview to RSVP and then a zoom link the day of the session.

 

[moooink]

Did anyone else just get a virtual chat confirmation for today even though i did not rsvp? I attended one in September but have not heard back post interview still and did not even receive an invitation for this one today.

Yes

Also got this and was very confused lol even did a double check on the spreadsheet to see if i had signed up on accident. Still havent heard back from a september interview

 

[TedMosby1207]

I got it too and I did it in September. I emailed them about it I think they must have just sent it out to the wrong email group and I'm sure they'll send out a correction in a bit. For those who are signed up for today though keep us updated with what they say ab admissions timelines

 

[applecrisps]

Any updates?

 

[ragstoriches]

Calm down fellas decisions will be released May 2026

 

[billytheworm]

whelp its about mid march, prolly WLs etc at this point in 2 weeks or so

 

[orgoforever]

anyone have updates from the info session?

 

[pfizer]

I have an interview tomorrow! What was it like? And also what's up with writing assignment? I hope it's not another "why us?" Essay

Writing assignment was very chill, imo. Not a 'why us.'

You get a prompt, you have a few hours to submit it. It's something like a couple hundred words, nothing to really fret about unless you really really struggle with writing. I would estimate it took me about 15-20 min

 

[ErenYeagerLovesTrees]

In the emergency room now. Sitting on zero As and a whole lotta Rs. Seeing all these white coats, I wish I could be them one day. Maybe next year

Basically a picture where you just describe what you see is happening or what you think is happening

 

[hopefullmd]

Any updates from the info session about decisions?

WLs in 2-3 weeks

 

[PotatoBean]

What a strange school cycle

 

[OkBurgers]

So are we just waiting for waitlists now? No more regular acceptances ?

 

[TheHumanSlimjim]

Has Downstate released post II Rs yet?

 

[berryfairy3]

So are we just waiting for waitlists now? No more regular acceptances ?

There are barely any A’s on cycle track, on here, and in the group me (according to people on here) so I’m hoping that’s not the case

 

[hopefullmd]

I struggle to understand how they are not sending any more As, just straight to WLs. The number of applicants that received As seems so low

 

[lawnmower101]

when do they send out post ii R? no big waves on cycle track from last year and i couldnt rlly find anything about it in last years forum

 

[flyqueen]

Guys keep in mind, only a small % of people actually report their As on SDN & Cycletrack. For example, I’ve never been on Cycletrack ever. People also don’t want to join the GroupMe & those other stuff.

There is typically important info on the official Groupme though. For reference, SUNY Upstate has 79 members in the official Groupme so I find it hard for such a huge discrepancy between the two SUNY schools in level of engagement.

This does seem a bit odd. Especially if you factor in that Upstate's class size is about 175, and Downstate's about 207 (according to MSAR)

 

[applecrisps]

It’s highly unlikely they’re done with As as they’re still conducting interview . I wish they could be more clear about their timeline, especially since this year is a different process

Exactly. Buffalo has 64 members in theirs as well

how is it a different process this year

 

[ragstoriches]

Adcoms be like

what r the odds every interviewee from November- April r only just straight post ii WLs and Rs. Everyone who heard back r mostly Aug- Oct with I think one person here from Nov

 

[applecrisps]

They started sending out As earlier. I don’t know if that means they have sent out less at this time compared to last year, but it’s a possibility since they sent out only one massive A in Jan followed by WL movement later on

 

[tenma_dr]

Anyone who attended info sessions or has any info otherwise - did you get any indication of whether they plan to send more interview invites?

 

[berryfairy3]

Maybe they’re making a ranked list and accepting the top applicants on it. They don’t look at primaries/secondaries in the order that they were submitted so maybe they’re waiting to finish interviewing everyone before they accept or deny people (aside from those who have gotten A’s already). This is pure speculation! Albany Medical College does something like that.

So then theoretically there's going to be a huge wave of acceptances, rejections, and WL around the same time - which sounds like in 2-3weeks. It's just difficult how long you have to wait

 

[momwithanmd]

I feel like maybe there aren’t as many As reported or people in the GroupMe because downstate is a back up school for a lot of interviewees, especially those from prestigious NYC schools. And downstate knows this as well, which is why they wait until the PTE / CTE deadlines, and instead of doing waves, they trickle out acceptances. Just a guess tho.

I love how we’re feeding each others delusions

These are all speculations not delusions. In the absence of data, people tend to do that

Take a breather. Just a joke to lighten the mood 🙂

 

[GreenIsAnAwesomeColor]

For those who received the ‘confirm your interest in an interview’ email, have you heard any news from the adcom?

 

[flyqueen]

Am I the only one losing my mind?

 

[sweetstyle]

I think at this point we can expect WLs either next week or the week after

 

[grizzlybear130]

No this is torture

 

[ragstoriches]

Yea ^

 

[skydweller]

Did anyone from December - March or even November hear back anything yet?

 

[PotatoBean]

We could always do a sit-in
