OKAY, glad I'm not the only one LOL. I sent them an email asking if there is anything else I should do.

Did you select "yes" to the financial aid and residence Halls Questions? Someone suggested that the dates may be person-specific and I wonder if it's based on our responses

Ah I did! I hope they are able to remedy the situation soon
 
So do you guys think they're going out of order in terms of reviewing apps? Completed 2nd week of July, haven't heard anything yet :/

SUNY Downstate:
Applications are not reviewed in the order that they are completed, so there may be a considerable delay between when your application is complete and when you are notified of your admissions status.

That's odd because I just check all the way till March 2020 and still nothing. Hmm, not sure if there's any wrong on my end

Thanks for replying! I used chrome and Firefox and still nothing. I emailed them last week, but they haven't replied yet. They sent me an email today reminding me to sign up for an interview slot . Just hoping that this issue gets resolved soon!

No prob! Hmm that's so bizarre, but it sounds like you're on top of things. Maybe try calling if that's an option too, or just send a follow-up email!

My first II! I can finally have some peace of mind. So glad my professor gave us a break at exactly 11AM so I managed to snag a convenient interview date. Does anyone know what the significance of the time slots we chose mean? If I choose 11AM, am I supposed to arrive at 10:30? Thanks!
IS, Complete 7/23, LM 73

Good luck to everyone!

I just realized by looking at the application again and it says don't submit more than two recommendation letters. Submitting more letters will delay your application.

People who got II - Did they submit only two rec letters?
We assign rec letters to school in AMCAS during primary application and may have assigned 3-5 letters at that time.
 
I submitted 3 (Science, Non-Science, and Prehealth Adviser) and got II

II earlier today! OOS and complete 7/15. Question for those that got to schedule today: is the 10:15 option considered a morning interview? sorry if that's already been answered.

October dates were available for me, and for the person who asked I submitted only 2 LOR and was very concerned doing so lol. Glad it worked out

Is having a later interview bad for SUNY downstate. I only have November and December dates available. I know they release acceptances starting from Valentine's day.

I was invited to an interview late last week and I was waiting to get a syllabus for one of my classes. There were early September interviews open at the time, but when I just checked now, the earliest was December 10. I'm freaking out.... Hope this doesn't ruin my chances.
 
I had issues with interview slots showing up, but just checked and multiple are available in November and December.

I've talked to current downstate students and they said that it's okay to have an interview before 2/14 and anything after gets iffy.

SO, it's "okay" that I slept on the September 3rd interview, and now have to wait til December 10th??? I'm so upset!!!!!! Like that was pretty idiotic of me :arghh:
 
Hello. I have a question regarding the interview. So my interview is at 11AM. I just want to confirm that I am supposed to arrive by 10:30AM correct? I ask because it seems the day starts at 9AM so im a little confused. Any clarification would be helpful. Thank you.

Hey there! I just confirmed my interview time and was thinking the same thing. The sample schedule in the portal says that between 9am and 11am, there will be check-ins and interviews. So if you arrive by 10:30am, you should have enough time to check in and then have your interivew at 11. It doesn't seem like the day really "starts" until the tour/lunch session, which the portal says may vary depending on the day, so I don't think you'd be missing out on anything if you arrived at 10:30am instead of 9am. I'd call the admissions office to confirm though!

I believe a lot of us had this issue, I did for like 2 days. I just kept checking their portal and saw slots opened up. I did end up sending them an email and they were very responsive and also mentioned they were having some issues on their side they were trying to fix.
