like my own research right? Thanks also!

 

[CurledAlarmist]

Yes

I was asked 6 or so total questions about my research abstracts publications etc. I don’t even have a heavy research application so it was odd

Second this. I had to explain my projects to both of my interviewers.

My best prep for the interview became learning as much about the curriculum and various programs as possible. It was so conversational that their questions about my experiences very quickly just rolled into how those interests can continue at RSOM. Very nice folks (though I wish I had prepared a little less for the ethics questions that never came / loosened up a bit to not stumble over my words. we move).

any more acceptances going out today? or do they send them out every two weeks?

Sure hope they do, but aren't they supposed to come out at noon? Maybe it's noon of next week.

 

[listedshield28]

I wouldn't pay attention to the time too much. From the past it has varied: noon, 2 PM, 2:30 PM, and most recently 3:30 PM. Just assume business hours on Mondays most likely (but could be other days).

[jb1811]

+1 OOS A!!😭😭😭have gotten the best vibes during my interview/post-interview process, literally so pumped as it's my first of the cycle! 🙂

(interviewed 11/3 so crazy quick turnaround, I imagine they wanted to pump decisions out before Thanksgiving)

 

[owltimber12]

Am I screwed if I interviewed 10/16 and haven't received anything?

 

[CurledAlarmist]

No. Nothing says they have to give you a decision today. Hang on tight

 

[deleted1221182]

anyone else who interviewed in september who hasn’t heard anything yet?

[jb1811]

hi, Congrats!! could you share your stats please?

521, 3.82 cgpa (mainly due to incomplete freshman year which came up in interview, they said they value upward trend for what it is worth), 4.0 sgpa. Complete 8/30.

Does anyone know about how long it typically takes to hear a decision post interview for SBU? Tyyy

They said 4-6 weeks, although since it's Thanksgiving week, I feel like their next wave of decisions might be in December?

 

[slipdah]

Do they like update letters pre-II? I uploaded one on the portal and I’m currently unsure if that was a good idea. Maybe it should have been an email?

I believe they want you to email any updates to [email protected] (Frequently Asked Questions | Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University)

Pre-II can be done through the portal but post interview, they stop looking at your portal and you need to send it via email

 

[jb1811]

Is there an accepted students chat or anything going around anywhere?

 

[medschoolapplicantagain]

Did people get ethical or MMI-like questions during their interviews?

 

[CurledAlarmist]

Did people get ethical or MMI-like questions during their interviews?

No

 

[blee.04]

Did people get ethical or MMI-like questions during their interviews?

they didn't even ask me to tell me about myself or why medicine lol it's just a standard chill interview literally got only "vibe fit" vibes from it

 

[jb1811]

Did people get ethical or MMI-like questions during their interviews?

I'll echo the above. Complete vibe check interview - I didn't even think I particularly sold myself well but quick turnaround and good conversation with the student interviewer at least.

What was your turnaround time?

 

[jb1811]

What was your turnaround time?

3 weeks give or take, so quite quick. Caveat being that I heard back right before thanksgiving, which I imagine they wanted to get some decisions out by. Different for everyone I'm sure though.
