Program-Specific Info / Q's SUNY Downstate 2015 MOT Program

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How long did it take to get a response after the interview? I just had my interview yesterday.
It really depends. I had interview on jan 16 and still didnt get a decision. Other got a decision 2-3 weeks after their interview. It a very weird system and im starting to move on from this school. I really started to develop a "dislike" for them. I feel they dont respect their applicants
 
Creating a Facebook group would be an awesome idea =)
Hey! I'm a current student at Downstate. I would suggest emailing Dr. Sabari the link to the FB page you guys make, and then she will share it with the rest of the acceptants. It was a really great way for my class to get to know one another and communicate with each other before we got started! Best of luck!
 
Ok i'm going to make one titled "SUNY Downstate OT Class of 2017" then I'll email Dr. Sabari
 
Wow, that's a late interview.
The latest they'd let you know is April 15.
You can check your spelunker account for updates.
Congrats on the interview.
 
My spelunker was updated in the last week or so.
I'm either wait listed or accepted, but no option to click to pay so what I am remains to be seen.
No email yet either.
Anyone else have updates?

Just checked, yup it changed to "
  • FILE RETURN TO ADMISSIONS AFTER COMM. REV."
 
official word-wait listed :sorry:

but you guys have some impressive stats! Wayyyyy better than mine so I absolutely understand.

Crossing my fingers hoping that somehow I can join some of you this summer, if not there's next year!

Did they email you that? Or did you call to ask what the update meant?
How's you find out?
 
I have a question about the spelunker account. Did the school email you the user name and password or where did you get it? Or is it only for those who got waitlisted or accepted? I'm just wondering.

they gave you one on the same day u submitted your application
 
I just been rejected. The decision is on the apply yourself website.
 
You mean the pin they gave me? Yeah, that only works on apply yourself. I tried it on the spelunker that didn't work.
 
Emailed me. Waitlisted.
I'm sorry bk ot 15.
As for wait list, anyone have any idea how many ppl get on it?
 
Hey guys, for those of you who were accepted/waitlisted...have you sent in your immunization/health forms?

I got an email today asking for them, which kind of made me feel hopeful all while staying realistic. Anyways, are the forms online/ what did you have to send and where? And what was the deadline they gave you guys for them? I was just told to send them in asap.

Thanks!!

I don't have any official word on any changes to my acceptance, but if I do..:xf::xf::xf:...I will def join!
 
Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for a while but I had some questions. I was also wait listed to downstate. for those of you that were wait listed, did you send in your health forms and official transcripts? is anyone else still finishing prerequisites?

I emailed admissions to see whatI could find out about the wait list process but they didn't really give me any information. I only applied to downstate so I am pretty bummed, but my last prereq is done may 19th so I knew I was taking a chance applying when I was cutting it so close. I'd really like to hear from them before I spend the money on a doctors visit and my official transcripts, so I'm just curious what you guys did.

Congrats to all of the people who were accepted! still keeping my fingers crossed but already thinking about where I should apply next year.
 
CONGRATZ, ShaRi!!

Hi, I am currently applying to Downstate and this application is very confusing! Does anyone remember how to get an AP score sent? On the FAQs it says that the AP scores need to be sent and to look under the application instructions but the application instructions don't say anything about it...

Also, can someone please explain the excel document to me? I don't completely understand. I fill it out when I am applying (before the deadline)? Do I fill in the part that says quality points, science quality points, and science credits?! The instructions are not clear at all
 
I submitted my application the first week of November. I submitted my final transcripts the first week of January and was invited for an interview this week. This is my first choice and ABSOLUTE dream school. I was SHOCKED that I received such a quick response. I'm incredibly nervous and I hope with all of my heart that I am accepted into the program.

I hope you all get a quick response! Good luck to all of us!!!!

Hi, I am an applicant to Downstate's OT program for 2016 and was just contacted for an interview in two weeks! What was yours like? What should I expect and what should I prepare?

Hi there, congrats on getting an interview!
Be prepared to talk about the profession, why you want to be an OT, why downstate, etc.
They might ask about long term goals and past leadership experiences.
The program likes a diverse student body, so be your own shiny self.
Best of luck!!
 
For those who attended Downstate as an out-of-state student how much did tuition, living expenses and etc. come up to? Would you consider it to be a cheap school compared to other programs?

Not if you're out of state.
