II!! OOS Complete 8/6
ooh you're right! I didn't see the 5 day thing until I got the follow-up email after my faculty interview todayi think they said someone should contact us within 5 days? or maybe i misread and that was about something else
dont lose hope!! I'm from CA and received an IIdo these guys do OOS after IS? need some CA love
what did you end up doing? I only live 100 mi outside of NYC, so I am just going to say my personal support system will be that (that works, no?) but my hometown is rural and my college town was a city, but small.Have you done this essay? I'm writing it now and I guess I'm just going to be upfront and say that I haven't lived in a city, but I've always wanted to and I have friends in NYC and family in upstate NY, etc. I'll probs get rejected, but that's half the fun right?
II - woah! the first one for this cycle. It felt SO much better than I anticipated! Completed my application on 9/1
What are your stats?
And congrats!!!
Are there only two interview dates available for everyone else? I don't think I can make those work and they withdraw your app if you don't choose a day within 5 days of the II so I guess I may email them if there really are only two days right now.
Yea that's what I'm seeing too. Thanks, I think I'll just emailI only had like a week and a half in Oct. available to choose from.
I had 5 dates to choose from that was in the span of 2 weeks.Are there only two interview dates available for everyone else?

From what I recall, Hirevue sends them out on Thursday mornings at 8am. So expect an email tomorrow morning! Also darn, I am still only seeing two dates in early October lol I wonder whyDoes anyone know how we can do the VITA? In my II email it said that I will get another email from a different email address with a link to VITA but they apparently send it out on tuesdays?
I submitted July 18th and was not marked complete until August 13th. I think this is a pretty normal occurrence so I would just be patient! They will be marked complete within the next few weeksHey guys! I submitted the secondary on 7/14, my letters were submitted on 9/8. They still say my MCAT and LOR weren't received so I'm not sure what to do. The letters say they were received but still have the red x. Same for my MCAT score. Anyone else have this issue? If you did, how did you resolve it? Thanks
yup! I had one recently and they prefaced it saying that I could consider it the final part of the interview process and they would write-up feedback similar to the faculty interviewHas anyone who completed the interview heard from a student to schedule the peer-to-peer conversation? Should this be considered an additional interview?
Did it take a while for a student to reach out to you?yup! I had one recently and they prefaced it saying that I could consider it the final part of the interview process and they would write-up feedback similar to the faculty interview
not immediately, but within about 2-3 days after my faculty interview!Did it take a while for a student to reach out to you?
Congrats! On a Sunday? Also are you IS?II, complete 8/31.
shouldn't be a problem... altho I would email/call the office to affirm your continued interestInterviewed a week ago still no email from student for interview, problem?
How were the two interviews different?yup! I had one recently and they prefaced it saying that I could consider it the final part of the interview process and they would write-up feedback similar to the faculty interview
one thing was that during the student interview, they told me upfront that it was closed file and they didnt know anything about me hahah... whereas my faculty interviewer did have access and referenced the things i wrote in my app.How were the two interviews different?
Congrats!! When were you complete?received II a couple of hours ago! IS, WARS 74, URM
Submitted first week of August, but wasn’t marked complete until 8/13Congrats!! When were you complete?
based on their timeline here, i believe early Feb! playing the waiting game hahaDoes anyone know when they will start giving out acceptances?
I got the same, complete 10/01. I believe it is a true II since you don't normally schedule a VITA invite.I am so confused but excited at the same time.
I go an email saying " We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for a formal virtual interview to further evaluate your candidacy for the College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate....
We participate in the AMCAS Vita video interview tool. We strongly recommend that you complete the AMCAS Vita within two weeks of the date of this email interview invitation, Video responses will be incorporated into our virtual interview process. "
Is this an II or does everyone get invited to complete this? It just seems really fast because I was marked complete on 10/2 and received the "II" today.
Thanks all!

Submitted 9/30, complete 10/1, and II today 10/4
You are not alone! We’ll get through this together and get our AsWow so this sounds like my 8/26 self is just waiting for bad news haha
Same.Wow so this sounds like my 8/26 self is just waiting for bad news haha
Schools don't necessarily review apps in order! My friend last year didn't get IIs until Feb/March and got into 2 schools. I'm confident you'll crush this cycle.Wow so this sounds like my 8/26 self is just waiting for bad news haha
Part 2 is not true. UMass sends Vita invites to every applicant who completes a secondary application.1. Downstate does not review apps in the order they are received. You guys had good apps and got lucky they got reviewed quickly!
2. That is an official II, you can only complete VITA when you receive your first official II from a med school. Invites are sent on Thursdays.
Goodluck!
