I know several people who were accepted and declined (recently) and at least one person who put a deposit down and rescinded her acceptance. I’d say go for it!

Congratulations on NYIT and Hofstra! If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply to Downstate? I submitted in November (I know, so close to the deadline!) and haven't heard anything yet. I e-mailed and all they said was that they hadn't gotten up to my application for review yet.
