dream2pa Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Does anyone know how many seats are left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_DREAM Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Does anyone know how many seats are left I would think this would be really hard to know unless someone had insider information. We only know of a few people that got accepted and posted on the forum but who knows how many people were already accepted and did not post it on the forum.

PA_DREAM Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I've heard they interview about 100 candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_DREAM Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The forum has been so quiet. Has anyone else heard back? I'm still waiting!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle9 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The forum has been so quiet. Has anyone else heard back? I'm still waiting!!!! PA_DREAM I was just wondering when you submitted your application? I haven't heard back yet either but I heard they usually go in order of submission. I submitted in mid-November. I also know a girl currently in the program and she told me that they are interviewing very slowly this year because they are understaffed, so hopefully they haven't filled too many seats yet. Also just general question for those who are still waiting to hear back, when did you submit? (I'm just curious where they are in terms of application review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPD1489 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I submitted November 14th or 15th thinking the deadline was the 16th. I looked again after and the deadline had change to Nov 30th. I interviewed the first week of February. Unfortunately I never heard back. There were a few candidates being interviewed that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A01 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The forum has been so quiet. Has anyone else heard back? I'm still waiting!!!! This was my second time applying to DS and I was accepted a week after interviewing. Last year I wasn't even granted an interview, so I just kept taking upper level science courses (Orgo 1 and 2, pathophysiology, biochem, advanced cell bio, genetics, etc.) plus math and physics courses. I continued racking up volunteer hours as well. All this seemed to impress them, so my advice to anyone who doesn't get in this cycle is to keep working to make yourself as competitive as possible. I realize that's probably not too helpful for this year, but at least you know that perseverance can pay off. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hello everyone! Congrats to everyone and good luck to those still waiting. I'm a reapplicant. Last year I was waitlisted ???? and never called off the list. But because Downstate is my dream school I reapplied this year. I was granted an interview for late January. I'm happy to say I'll be joining the class this year. I wish you all the very best; stay positive! Feel free to private message me if you have any questions I might be able to answer ????????

Feel free to private message me if you have any questions I might be able to answer Hey Simon123, nice to meet you. I will also be attending Downstate this upcoming June, im so excited and it all still seems so surreal. My interview was January 27th around 11am. So far I submitted my deposit and accepted my seat, I also paid for my background check and in the process of submitting all my immunization records. When was your interview? Did you receive anything in the mail yet? By the way my name is Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPD1489 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 CONGRATS Simon123 and peter5. It seems a good amount of people who have posted their acceptance got a second chance! That's wonderful your perseverance and hard work paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle9 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Congratulations to all those that have been accepted! And good luck to all those still waiting to hear back from interviews! Just wondering if anyone has been interviewed/ been invited to interview the past few weeks? It seems like most of the people who have been posting interviewed in January/early February. I'm still waiting for an invitation to interview and I'm getting a little anxious, so just wondering if anyone has any updates :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean.carlos Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Invited for an interview last week. Interviewed yesterday. Still reads "application sent to committee" before and after the interview. My application was completed late in the cycle near the deadline. Good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
