my stats are basically maxed out but my service and clinical hrs are relatively low, but decent alignment with their mission for the hours that i do have

just worried about yield protection given the high stats, any insight?

lol DS doesn’t do yield protection at all. They would accept all high stat applicants first. You should be fine if your interview goes well. Keep gaining hours and send them an update letter later in the cycle .

it’s gonna be a long wait. Prepare for that. DS loves high stat. At the beginning, high stat people will get in (starting december). High stat enough to get into T20s. Then you will get on Alternate list on April 1st, then high stat people will start to get off the AL.

Would you mind sharing what questions you got during your interview? Thanks 🙏

lol basically guaranteed A if u get an II. They love the high stats ppl. they like flexing it in their info sessions that are in person. even tho 90% of high stats leave for antoehr school

can anyone who currently attends suny downstate share their lecture style? Are in person lectures optional? Do you guys have small group based labs, etc...

definitely overthinking this but should i answer this secondary question if ive been working part time during a gap year:
Are there any periods longer than 3 months, from the time you graduated from high school to now, when you were not employed full time or in college full-time?
