Withdrew today, gluck to you guys

Thanks for telling us, and best of luck to you too 👍 🙂

 

[Xadorus]

Ahh, got the phone call for remaining on the alternate list. I think they calling everyone on it. Heart stopped for a moment thinking it was an acceptance haha.

 

[E11]

Sending you all some luck on Friday the 13th.

I just withdrew my acceptance today. It was a difficult decision but ultimately I just couldn't bring myself to leave southern California.

Here's to you, FIREitUP and everyone still waiting!

Got the acceptance letter earlier today guys. Thanks for all your support 🙂

 

[johnwandering]

Did everyone who received an acceptance off the waitlist receive a phone call??


I didn't get one~
🙁

 

[Xadorus]

Did everyone who received an acceptance off the waitlist receive a phone call??


I didn't get one~
🙁

Did you check you admissions checklist? Does it show a pay now function button for an acceptance deposit?

 

[johnwandering]

nope i guess i didn't get in~
🙁

the listing for the $100 deposit has been pushed to the top though, but I guess that's a default format change for everyone~

 

[Xadorus]

Hrm I am sure things will pick up this week! Most of the people on the alternate list get in from what I have noticed. Keep on strong, you've waited so long for this; whats a few more days. I know its tough but we will make it.🙂

 

[TheRach1025]

Just withdrew my acceptance. Good luck to you guys!

 

[ColumMcCann]

mmm, needs more withdrawals

 

[johnwandering]

I posted this on the main SUNY Downstate topic, but I think it better belongs here:

For those of you accepted off the alternate list,


I was wondering, how many of you finished and submitted all of the medical forms?
(I submitted mine but my checklist is noting that I have to take a "second PPD and Tdap at Student Health." I was wondering how urgent this was, and if it could wait till July without hurting my chances)

Also, how many of you submitted a Letter of Intent/Intrest?
I'm thinking of shooting one over soon

[mfm2284]

I'm also sitting on the "hold" list. I interviewed on 1/6 and was put on the list sometime in Feb. I'm still crossing my fingers!

 

[FIREitUP]

I feel like a prophet of sorts. I said xadorus and crazyboy should get it and they did. i also said most of the ppl on the alternate list will get in, and they did. WINNING!!

 

[ipodtouch]

Hey everyone I'm still on the alternate and have been checking my checklist periodically.


I noticed the last few days that the items on the checklist have been shifting.
I thought it might be interesting to see the order of the "ACCEPTED/ALTERNATE LIST APPLICANT M.D. CHECKLIST" for other applicants.

I was wondering if a few alternate listed/ accepted people can list the order of their items on this checklist so we can compare~




I am currently on the alternate list, and just yesterday sent a letter of intent.
It is now (after sending letter of intent):

-White Coat Form
-Admission Study Styles Inventory
-Proof of Citizenship
-$100 deposit
-American Heart CPR
-Transcript
-Alternate List Response Form
-Acceptance Response Form

Just this morning it was (before sending letter of intent):

-American Heart CPR
-Transcript
-Alternate List Response Form
-White Coat Form
-Admission Study Styles Inventory
-Proof of Citizenship
-$100 deposit
-Acceptance Response Form

The day before it was:
-$100 deposit
-American Heart CPR
-Transcript
-Alternate List Response Form
-White Coat Form
-Admission Study Styles Inventory
-Proof of Citizenship
-Acceptance Response Form

Until you get the option to pay now you're not accepted yet.

 

[girlinthegarden]

Just got a call from Ilana Levine - she asked me if I was still interested in remaining on the waitlist, then offered me a spot 🙂 I was on the "hold" list so there is still hope for all of you still waiting.

Not sure if I will be attending, but congrats to everyone so far!

 

[crazyboy123]

So true!!! We owe FIREitUP a big thank, few hugs, and possibly few drinks. 😀

 

[Butterflyfish]

Congrats to the newly accepted. I have some questions:

How did you receive your acceptance news? (phone, letter, etc)

Did you have all of your materials (medical stuff, passport, CPR, etc) turned in when you received your acceptance news?

Thanks,
BF

Some of us here have received a phone call asking if we wish to remain on the waitlist and then subsequently received acceptances shortly thereafter. I received a UPS next day air letter on my stoop and my status at downstate changed (giving me the option to pay my deposit). Good luck!

 

[supercoiled]

Has anyone had difficulty logging in to their checklist for the past two days?

 

[johnwandering]

What if the admissions committee can't reach you by phone?
Anyone think that they may have reservations about accepting you?

I work from 8am-5pm everyday in the basement of a research compound. There is no phone reception at all whatsoever~~

Don't worry about it. They're not going to take away your acceptance if you don't pick up your phone. The admissions office left me a message and I called them back around 5:45 PM since I also work until 5 every day. The admissions office was still open so you can always call when you get out of work.

 

[chaser0]

wish my phone took messages~
(only have cell phone, and don't have voicemail system set up since I don't use it)

=(


prob not a big deal though
Maybe you can just email them?

 

[FIREitUP]

If they want you, they'll find a way to contact you. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

[Butterflyfish]

So just to recap the waitlist, 1 person was accepted off the waitlist on May 13 and seven people were accepted off the waitlist on May 17. Also a few people were moved from the Hold list to the waitlist. There hasn't been any movement/acceptances since May 17. Does this sound right? Am I missing something?

 

[Velour Fog]

Methinks two or three people got in directly off of the Hold list.

[chaser0]

Anyone have an idea when the next round of acceptances will go out?

 

[FIREitUP]

Anyone have an idea when the next round of acceptances will go out?

I would venture to say soon since admissions emailed those on the hold list recently. hang in there.

 

[eternalxjourney]

I was waitlisted in mid-February and never received any emails from Ilana Levine about being interested in staying on waitlist. Why do they send to some waitlisters but not others? Do they only send it to those they want to admit?

Ahhh this is way frustrating.

Congrats to everyone who was admitted!

 

[Butterflyfish]

This question is for the second time applicants. Will they send out an e-mail that the class is full? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

 

[FIREitUP]

This question is for the second time applicants. Will they send out an e-mail that the class is full? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

no, but they'll send an email after orientation rejecting you if they choose not to accept you off the hold/alternate list. Good luck.

 

[Butterflyfish]

WOW, thread is kinda dead.

Has anyone heard anything? Has anyone called the SOM? What about updates or LOIs?

I just sent a LOI/update today.

Good luck everyone.

 

[futuredoc528]

WOW, thread is kinda dead.

I just sent a LOI/update today.

Good luck everyone.

They sent out a batch of acceptances about 2 weeks ago and gave people 2 weeks to respond, I bet most people took almost all that time to decide (I did), so I imagine there'll be another batch going out soon if people turned them down

 

[SUNY22]

Long (long!) time troll here but I just wanted to return the favor and give everyone some hope! Ilana Levine just called my cell yesterday to let me know I was off the alternate list!!! I interviewed 3/3, found out I was on the alternate list 4/15 and just got accepted off it over the phone yesterday (6/3) around 11am!!

SUNY Downstate is my top choice by a mile so I am definitely accepting as soon as I get my official acceptance in writing today (I just moved into a Park Slope apt as an out of stater in case this all worked out actually! Otherwise I would have been commuting wayy up to NYMC in Valhalla!)

Best of luck to everyone!!! I really do hope you all get off the waitlist and that we all meet orientation week in a couple months!

 

[ipodtouch]

Long (long!) time troll

wait what?
either SUNY22 doesn't know what a troll is, or we are being trolled?

so from that post I am assuming no one has indeed heard back since 2 weeks ago...?

 

[SUNY22]

Oops my bad! I thought trolls were people who follow blogs compulsively but never post! Anyway, I did indeed get in off the alternate list on Friday! Sorry for the confusion!

 

[ipodtouch]

ahhh, i see
The general term is "lurkers"
😀

but congrats, i hope they hand a few more out soon

thanks for updating the list guys, and I wish you all the best of luck. Please do send the LOI or any updates, cause I really think they help.

 

[Butterflyfish]

Greetings,

My waitlist checklist now has the "$100 deposit due May 15" (or whatever it was called) missing. Is anyone else missing their deposit red x? What could it mean?

 

[ipodtouch]

Mine is missing too~


Prob doesn't mean anything, the list has been tinkered with everyday for the past month.
Could mean something if anyone else still has this "X"

 

[FIREitUP]

Try not to read to deeply into the checklist. The only point where it matters is when it says $100 Deposit: Pay Now, and you can actually pay the deposit. Until that point, you aren't accepted.
