If I interviewed in October, will I get invited for the November Q&A session, or the October one? I know they are held on the first or second Friday of every month, but I haven't received information for the one being held this Friday yet.

October one was last week

October one was last week

Did they give any update in the october q&a session on when they'd be releasing decisions?

 

[pandaloverxoxo]

In the September info session, they said they'd probably send their first wave of decisions in December/January. Has anyone been to an info session since where they said anything different?

This is also what they said during the October info session!

My interviewer told me that decisions will come out mostly in february but a select few in december

Oh okay, did they send out an email with the meeting information before it? I'm trying to gauge if I will be asked to join the November one instead.

+1 OOS II this morning! complete 8/29. LM 79

i wasn’t originally going to apply here despite liking the school a lot bc people told me they were too OOS unfriendly and it gave me the impression that i didn’t have a chance, but now am so glad i did haha

I received an ii a week ago or so and I submitted the very second I got the secondary in early July so there is no need to fret. We attract, we do not and shall not chase. The school wants you dw

 

[cookiemonster111]

does anyone know if Downstate accepts post II updates?

 

[Boston52]

I’d reach out today tbh. Before the week ends.

 

[undueclearance11]

Has anyone who’s been to a recent info session heard any updates on when decisions are coming out for people who had early interviews?

In the recent one, they said they will start sending out decisions starting January.

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

Yeah they said this in my info session too but cycle track and SDN last year reports acceptances released beginning of dec

Does anyone know what the post interview acceptance rate for out of state students is?

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

Does anyone know what the post interview acceptance rate for out of state students is?

Not sure, stuff is listed on MSAR but I asusme
U need to have at least strong ties to the region most likely to be considered for acceptance. I visited the campus twice and they really emphasize people located near their mission and having ties to the area

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

I have absolutely 0 ties🤣. But got the interview!

Well god speed friend! They must have liked something about you! Maybe you’re a true New Yorker at heart

 

[jackfrost59]

What were the earliest interview dates for people that got interviews today?

 

[king20]

Feb 2026

 

[Saturnalia_1]

oh im cooked

 

[snow5789]

oh im cooked

Same ☹

 

[lazy_gudetama]

don't do it, in the MSAR, it says LOI is accepted for people who did not get an II or secondary yet from the school

MSAR says this "
Letters of Intent and continued interest to the College of Medicine can be sent through out the admissions cycle for the current year in which an applicant is applying."

 

[kingkong6712]

Guys for those wondering, I’m like 90% sure that some decision should come out in December. I interviewed with the dean of admissions on the first week of August and he said my app will be presented to the adcom and scored on September. Then my decision will be out in December. If they already have a decision made in September there’s prob no reason for them to wait 5-6 months.

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

Maybe some decisions today. They released first monday of December last year.

 

[Saturnalia_1]

Is sending a letter of interest worth it at this point? I'm probably going to but ugh wish I could stay in the city for med school.

 

[kingkong6712]

Maybe some decisions today. They released first monday of December last year.

Yeah, I hope that they drop some As today.

 

[mmssjj]

Yeah, I hope that they drop some As today.

Praying 🙏

 

[slipdah]

Should updates be sent through email or the portal post-II for downstate?

happy refresh-your-email-every-5-seconds day!

[PaulAtreides2122]

Looks like nothing today ;(

 

[mmssjj]

I guess January it is as they said last month

 

[PaulAtreides2122]

I guess January it is as they said last month

Ehhhh idt they’ll wait that long. I bet they release some in December just not sure when.

MSAR says the earliest acceptances will be sent on 12/19

 

[flykidfrombk]

Yeah and their website for this cycle states early Feb and last years stated mid Feb, I feel like this info is always so unreliable

 

[WeJu$tNeed1]

Where do we think they are in terms of sending out IIs? Or does anyone know if it says somewhere on their website the range of time they send out IIs?

They started really early so honestly have no idea. I got my invite on 07/03 but they do interview almost 800 people.
