that I'm complete. Other than that, nothing. What about you?

Has anyone heard about a program like this at Downstate?
Bunsen Honeydew said:Yea, what is up with Downstate this year?!? I've heard of several people with solid/average stats, who are NY residents, getting rejected pre-interview. I have yet to hear anything; the couple of times I've called, they have been completely rude. I'll just keep hitting re-fresh and keep my fingers crossed!

flash said:LOL.
i'm born and raised in NYC. I know what you mean, but this is the admissions office, not the corner bodega cashier. I agree that people tend to get carried away with "everyone was so nice" and warm fuzzies in evaluating a schools.
From a PR perspective, I just think they could come across much better than they are. We're talking about a form letter, how about explaining what "hold" means, reassuring us about the process going forward, quite simple and logical things that go far imo. Particularly given that their incoming class will be largely coming from the current "hold" (which for Downstate, precedes classification for HP waitlist and waitlist as I understand it).
And I am going some place else and can't wait to give them a piece of my mind if/when they call with acceptance.

Well this would suck, I'm still waiting to hear back from downstate. so hopefully they are wrong. So heres to hope.docjolly said:Hi All, a friend of mine went on an interview (last Thursday), and she stated to me that her interviewer informed her that Downstate's incoming class is already full He also mentioned to her that he was interviewing her for a 'waitlist' position. I personally don't think that my friend is being honest (I have my reasons ). Nevertheless, I'd like to verify whether or not any of this is true. Would an interviewer inform an applicant of whether or not the class is full during her interivew? If the class is full, why is Downstate still interviewing?
Has anyone who's interviewed there within the past two weeks heard anything similar to this?
Thanks!

Anyone have Downstate interview comming up with downstate?
I am pretty sure it means that your app is completely complete and had gone to the committee to determine if you are going to be accepted, rejected or wait-listed. So only time will tell. I find myself running out to my mailbox every-morning to check and still no word.akaneko said:I am confused...
so the fact that one receives a letter about the application getting a final review in the committee two days after the interview does or does not mean one's on-hold or on the waitlist?
