Yep- I think it's going to take them a minute to go through all the documents.

Usually you can get it as a walk-in at a CVS / chain pharmacy. Let us know!

do we have to complete the pre admit checklist to even be taken off the waitlist?

 

[usagimd]

do we have to complete the pre admit checklist to even be taken off the waitlist?

no but apparently it shows initiative and commitment to the school and they would apparently prefer to admit students who are ready to go (who already completed most of their checklist)

I heard that too but tbh idk with this school. They seem so mismanaged. My intuition says they're just gonna go down the ranking :/

I think it’s a bit of both. In my virtual tour, they said that if there were between person A and person B, and person A had their checklist done, 99% certain they will go to person A.

where do we turn in the proof of citzenship?

They will send emails dated 2021 welcoming us to the incoming class of 1998...sometime in mid-October, via fax

With another writing assignment

i uploaded to the documents section of the portal

If we are waiting for a decision, can we still start to complete the checklist or wait?

Do you have a checklist in the portal?

Does anyone know where to submit the official transcript? My school uses parchment and I want to know if I can send it electronically or if there is a specific address they want us to send...

Multiple folks in the thread reported having used parchment

anybody else get an email at 2am? “We have learnt that some applicants whose admission application is on the Alternate List have received email from Downstate wrongly suggesting that they have been admitted into the program of study they have applied for.
That happened because of a glitch with the program we are using.”

 

[PotatoBean]

The formatting alone, much less the phrasing, kills me

This school is all over the map, man. One has to wonder

Yeah got that. Albany pulled the same **** back in December

Do we really need to complete all the BLS trainings and health forms all at once to even considered moving form the waitlist? The matriculation checklist says "BLS Certificate (medicine accept only)" but the instruction on the website says everyone has to complete it....

IS A off the AL about 20 minutes ago! I was super skeptical because of that email earlier this morning but I called and they confirmed it was an offer of admission
