Hello,
I just called to check my application status to Downstate, and they said I shall be receiving something in the mail in the next two days. So they do interview invites by email or phone? Probably just a rejection letter 😡
Just wondering if anyone got anything good by mail at Downstate.
Thanks
 
Email......mail= rejection..... 🙁
 
I got my interview invite from them via email too... sorry 🙁 Everything else from them came by snail mail though.
 
GRRR.... 🙁 Too many rejections in one week. I took down the MDApplicants thing because I was starting to get embarrassed by it 🙁
 
Big Smiles, I got my interview invite via email too.

Anyway, Buffalo is a pretty good school and I will probably go there depending on how much free money Stony or Downstate (if I get accepted there) offer me.
 
Maybe we will be classmates then! With six recent rejections, I have a feeling it was meant to be at Buffalo. I wouldn't mind going there, just curious about Downstate, but guess it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for the encouragement.
I am taking the MCAT over, too. I don't know that it will help this late, but never know. Buffalo suggested this at the interview, and I don't know about the graduate school yet, since I applied MD-PhD. Hopefully it works out.

Hope to see you next year! Good luck on your decision!

Taking it again AFTER you have acceptance!!! Damn, you are either crazy or motivated. Either way, I admire you.
 
A bad idea about retaking the MCAT? I figure it couldn't hurt. If anything it's only adding studying an hour or two everyday until April and $200. I'm eligible to retake Kaplan too, since I did the work for the higher score guarantee. I have six classes, tutoring, 3 presentations, research, a thesis (almost done), and meetings for two academic clubs. I sould stand to miss club meetings sometimes and could sign up for less hours tutoring than I usually do (although it is good review for me too).

MCAT a bad idea? I think I might poll this one.
 
now now now, dont jump to conclusions. what may be coming in the mail might just be a "waitlist" letter or one saying that they are going to review your application again in the spring. Downstate is infamous for this. Dont be discouraged. i was in your same boat last year at this time and got both the "we will review your application again in the spring" letter and the "hold" letter. believe it or not, alot of people get in after being on hold last year. unfortunately. from what i gather, they dont send out rejections until the spring. good luck and hope to see you in Brooklyn.
