Just to give an update on the # of ppl accepted, an email went around to those who need to complete the health requirements for downstate and around 160 people were included in the email chain. I don't know if this is just for the med school or includes all the schools in downstate.

  • Class size is, what, roughly 210 or so?
  • Notably small number of folks in the GroupMe or whatever.
  • Seemingly a single big admissions wave in December (?)
  • At least by appearances, all acceptances I've seen thus far have been from October, or earlier, interviews.
  • Yield has to be...no more than 50% maybe?
 
Idk if this has been said before but my theory is that downstate sends the alternate lists in march to most interviewees in order to abide by the AAMC traffic rules of giving final decisions in March. Since they told Jan interviews they wouldn't know until late spring but most get put on alternate before then, i feel like it isn't a true waitlist, but just a way to buy them more time

anyone know what day the committee meets and what does it mean for those of us who interviewed recently seeing that the class is eighty percent full?

I don’t think it’s 80% full, cuz again they said they usually need to accept around 450 or something to match their yield of 200 kids who commit, for example Stony Brook accepts 450 to match their enrolling class size of 130 students. 80% full assumes all 160 are commits
 
I said eighty because a hundred and sixty applicants already accepted… also can someone tell me how to type numbers on SDN without it coming up weird lol

well yeah that’s anticipating applicants with multiple As are going to give up their spot once they have to chose a school, I am talking as of now
 
I think its 160 people who have said yes but we haven't even been asked for a deposit yet so thats not binding for people who might choose other schools

yes but remembering they accepted me to the MPH program so i think its for that even tho i withdrew

seems like the email was sent out to diff programs and may not necessarily reflect how many As were given out

yeah and the groupme has only 16 people. I don't get it, I think admissions is just slow

Pre II R?

I don’t think the number of people that the e-mail was sent to reflects the number of As sent out. Someone above said they received one bc they were accepted to MPH program but got a pre II R. seems like it was sent out to accepted students from a couple different programs.

where did the 180 come from if you don’t mind me asking? 😅

Hmmm don’t they need to follow the traffic rule and accept a number of students equal to their class size by 3/15?
 
Website says we should expect a decision 8-12 weeks after our interview, and a lot of people seem to have been waiting more than that. Is it safe to assume we are not all being placed on the waitlist? Or are they simply going to accept a lot more people from the waitlist?

'Tis the eternal debate; no one seems to know for sure (as evidenced by much of the last few pages of this thread)

Some reasonable guesses have been ventured, but it's largely conjecture atm
