if u sent ur official transcript through parchment, does it show a green check mark on the portal for any of you? mine says "verified" but still red incomplete mark.
Mine does show the green checkmark, it may take some time to update

IS AL, interviewed 4/9

LM 76.9
I got the AL yesterday. Did you get an email like thirty minutes later saying “Thank you for choosing Downstate Health Sciences University for pursuing the MD degree studies!!”, and “Once again, thank you for choosing Downstate for your higher studies! We wish you all the best with your studies!!” ??? Idk what this means… i feel like it’s an acceptance but i see nothing on CYMS and I got the alternative list on the portal

It's just giving you your NetID info to upload immunization/health records to MediCat lol
 
Hello all.
Still waiting…. Any insight when movement on the AL is going to begin? MANY THANKS and good luck.

if we accept the acceptance, do we have to withdraw from other schools waitlists?
 
Has anyone's health clearance stuff been approved yet? just wondering how long that is expected to take
they haven’t approved mine yet! based on how long it took for them to mark off my transcript, i’m assuming it will take them a while. they haven’t checked off my citizenship yet

They checked my transcript very fast. On April 17. But have yet to do the rest.
 
Are these A’s being released all at the same time or over the course of today?
 
Uploaded a letter of intent to the portal... should I also give them an email to tell them?
 
Has anyone who interviewed not heard back with an A or WL? Interviewed in March and haven't heard either.
Will they directly send A's this late in the game?

I don't think so. I heard that they waitlist or reject everyone once the initial pools of applicants are full. Then as some people gets off they will slowly pick ppl from wait list throughout summer...

Last year orientation started on Aug 5th and white coat ceremony was Sep 20th, I imagine this year it would be around similar times
 
Quick question about completing stuff on the pre-matriculation checklist as an AL - a few things say NOT to do if on the AL (White coat, study styles, model release) but I was on the phone with someone in the office yesterday asking about something else and they told me just to start checking these things off because it shows interest? So not quite sure what to do with this conflicting advice, curious to hear what others have done

I heard the same in my Q&A session after my interview so I think I'll just check things off. I think it just says "not required" to do it instead of "forbidden" - forbidden is a strong word lol but yeah
 
Anyone else admitted to the MPH but still waiting on an MD decision? Should I pay the deposit for the MPH, or wait for a decision from MD. I believe they are separate programs.

Is there a deadline? If yes, pay it. Worst case is you don’t get into the MD program if you don’t want to do MPH only you just lose your deposit.
