anyone find any information on how they accept update letters? is it just the portal?

Any experience or advice for the interview here?

Really laid back, traditional interview with a faculty member and student. Just know answers to common questions like why medicine and such.

Anyone who has interviewed the second week of October heard back yet?

i interviewed in september but didn’t hear back yet. does this mean i’m waitlisted?

Interviewed October 9th and haven't heard back from the school, does this mean I'm gearing towards waitlist or is the window too short to know?

I would say waitlist, but in the past the window post interview can be up to two months before a decision

i interviewed 9/30 and still havent heard back. does this mean im waitlisted or rejected??

with the waitlist decisions coming back today, does not hearing back at all after interviewing in October mean I got straight-up rejected? Still under review? this is rough

My times were assigned to me. It was early afternoon.

is there a gc for accepted students

is there anyone who interviewed in October who has not heard back yet? I interviewed in the third week and have not received anything yet. does this mean a waitlist or rejection?

any chance for II at this point. I'm in state and this would be the perfect school for me. I'm honestly surprised I havent gotten any love

On SDN people who had to wait that long post-interview were typically rejected

same, following

Do they accept update letters and/or letters of interest?

Did anyone's acceptance letter ask them to send an email stating your intention to enroll 2 weeks from receiving the A?

Yes, I called admissions and they said it wasn't binding

Anyone else on the HPWL or normal WL?

im on none big bro

is there a groupme for admitted students?

One of my coworkers was admitted last cycle off the waitlist. I assume it was HPWL but idk

wondering the same for like 1 and a half months now lol

also wondering!!

If I haven't heard back and interviewed in November, is it a waitlist/rejection?

Do you happen to know what month that was?

Not really since it’s been a while. I wanna say April/May though

Are you positive that your coworker was admitted off the waitlist? There is a letter from the dean that states they admitted 0 people from the waitlist last cycle.

I mean that’s what I was told. But idk if they really admitted 0 off the waitlist then maybe she was just outright accepted. I know for sure she’s a current student there

where is this letter?

“This growth extended to the RSOM, where 141 students matriculated this year, and for the first time in recent memory we did not take any students from the waitlist.”

Wow. Interesting that the hpwl email says that the "likelihood of us offering you a seat is very high"

People from previous years got the same exact HPWL email.

So bs that schools just shamelessly lie like this.

Pretty poor experience here overall. my stats are a decent amount over their averages and I am in state. My faculty interviewer here just grilled me on my application cycle, asking where I had interviewed, been accepted, etc. I do not do well at coming up with lies on the spot and was caught off guard. I ended up telling the truth, mentioning I had a couple T20 interviews, but only one acceptance and I would go to stony brook over it. Was just waitlisted with a line in my letter saying "I realize that you too may already hold a place at another medical school."

I think this school conducted their interview day incredibly unprofessionally and that they may have used this information in their decision making process. If this is my first experience with the admin here, I don't really want to see what they'd do while I was a student.

Sorry to hear about your experience! That is sooooo shady of them.

I was accepted and while my interview wasn't as negative of an experience, I definitely agree that their interview day sucked (even the student panelists seemed not into the school at all) and didn't really make me excited to attend. My acceptance letter had the same line about holding other acceptances so I wouldn't read into it. If you are feeling up to it it might be worthwhile to email admissions and let them know of your experience so they can get rid of this interviewer for next year (unless you are hoping for the WL to become an A). Good luck with the rest of your decisions.

Sorry to hear that! Echoing what the other person said, I think that was def unprofessional. I was lucky to have extremely nice interviewers, but the student informal info session was not up to par with other schools. I think if you show interest you could def get of WL, and I hope that this is just an isolated incident. I think sometimes schools like SBU might yield protect, but the way they did it was not right.

"I realize that you too may already hold a place at another medical school." -- ignore this, this is default for most schools
