Did it take a day or so for the deposit payment to register as complete for other people? I paid mine today and it doesnt show up as complete but i got a confirmation receipt emailed to me. Just a bit paranoid about them possibly not seeing it haha

They have an issue with the portal. I emailed them the receipt and then they updated the portal

thank you! I will do that as well

 

[maddyrawr13]

Is anyone also having trouble with study styles inventory showing up as completed?

 

[redhouse]

Welcome to downstate. The doctors that I shadowed with described the hospital as "taking a time machine into the 1970s".

Anyone know the start date for bridges to medicine program?

+1 A. Just got off the WL yesterday around 4PM.

Does anyone have any idea when I will get access to my own school email? I want to apply to for the housing application, but I don't know my downstate student ID#.

Also, what's the groupme for accepted students?

Anybody else unable to access the Medicat portal? It's letting me log in but it goes to a blank page where I cannot upload anything

When do they send out emails? Also how many people are on the waitlist?

 

[berryfairy3]

Paranoia is telling me they closed the medicat accounts of people who are going to be rejected

A person with an A and who has yet to finish the medical clearance may want to chime in and tell us what they see. Otherwise everything is speculation. Might have to do with routine maintenance and the school hasnt informed applicants/students of this.

I emailed Student Health last night - they're working on this issue as of this morning

[happycoyote]

I interviewed in March and haven’t heard anything. No R or WL notification. I checked the student portal and my email. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

[coolkid5678]

Guys for MD accepts, how do we do the criminal background check?

 

[yellowmountain]

Is anyone else checking their email everyday hoping for an update lol?

 

[masterdurick]

Is the WL ranked?

I had seen in one of their documents that the waitlist is ranked. People in the committee give a score to a candidate after multiple rounds of review, and people on the waitlist are accepted from the highest scores to the lowest scores.

Look under "The results of the interview" and "Waitlist" sections of this document:

https://www.downstate.edu/education-training/student-services/admissions/_documents/policy_on_selection_and_admissions.pdf

 

[DuelShadow]

Check your email. You should have received an email from [email protected] after putting down the deposit and submitting the response form on the application portal.

 

[a&ox1]

Withdrawing my A. Good luck to everyone on the WL!

 

[mochinut]

Hi guys! I got an email to another personal email of mine from Downstate Admissions, which essentially says "Thank you for choosing Downstate Health Sciences for pursuing the MD degree studies!! While you are waiting for your admission application to go through the remaining phases of the admission process to get fully admitted, we have created a network account to log onto Medicat portal."

Just want to confirm with others - Is this sent out to everyone who is waiting a decision to just essentially complete forms in case you get off? I'm so confused because this isn't even the email I use for my application, and, I'm still on the waitlist waiting to hear any news but the wording of the email makes it seem like I accepted an acceptance. Thanks all!

Did you previously have access to Medicat? I think everyone on the WL gets this email to upload their health clearance forms

 

[Punz18]

Post II R just now, was not on WL. Interviewed in October. Downstate was my top choice, but I have other acceptances, so this is not too bad. Good luck everyone and congratulations to those accepted.

Anyone know if downstate is true pass fail?

 

[yellowmountain]

Is there going to be another WL acceptance increase soon? Just wondering

 

[lawnmower101]

True P/F first two years, then honors system 3/4

Director of admissions said most A’s off WL would be April 15 to May 15 but idk

 

[brooklynkid92]

Does anyone know whether they actually require a chicken pox vaccine? I had chicken pox as a kid so never received the vaccine but on medicat it looks like they require it.

They require titers. If you had chicken pox some immunity should show up when you do titers.

Damn, nearing end of May. Time to reapply ig 🙁

 

[yellowmountain]

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist this week?

 

[StarGazerlll]

Any chance we think they'll have another burst of acceptances at the beginning of June?

Doubt it. Moving my energy towards the next cycle now

Anyone having issues with student health? They want proof of boosters but the health form with a mds signature and stamp isn't good enough. She wants a vaccine card 🙈 it's not a Pediatrician, boosters were given by an adult dr and I haven't used my yellow card in 10 yrs. At this point I may need to get something notarized 🙃

[moooink]

If you are from NY, u can probably find your immunization record online

Vaccine Records - NYC Health

If not, check if your state has a similar type of registry. Many do
