does this school care about thank you letters? it says we can upload them to the portal but i don't really feel the need to write one bc i thanked my interviewer at the end of it and don't have anything else to add/follow up on.
 
Did anyone send a pre-II update/interest letter and then get an II? It lowkey seems like they're done w interviews but wondering if I should just f it we ball and send one

any last minute interview tips?
I cant remember about the link sadly, sorry about that. But in terms of tips, I would say definitely have a good understanding of the community SUNY Downstate serves and how you can contribute to that community. Be aware of health disparities topics and overall healthcare state and legislation - I feel like this kind of applies to every school but especially to schools that have their mission related to this. The interview went really well overall, the interviewer was kind and really wanted to get to know you. You will do great and good luck!

I sent a reply confirming my interest and just got a reply today thanking me for confirming so seems like they want replies
 
Do we know if everyone who hasn’t received an II yet got the confirm interest email? Like were they selective in sending that email at all?
 
I only responded through the portal, but I'm wondering the same thing. I might do both just in case
I had already accepted the MPH offer through the portal but hadn’t emailed admissions. I just got an email telling me to accept the offer through the portal or they would rescind my offer. Not sure why they weren’t able to see my response but it’s probably a good idea to email admissions.

Same thing happened to me. Had to email admissions just to confirm to accept offer. Still waiting on college of medicine tho
