Disciple3 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 About a month, they actually emailed me to confirm a summer grade then when I gave it to them I promptly received the invite maybe a day or two later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa_nc Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is it too late to apply? I really don't want to waste any $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parity Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Is it too late to apply? I really don't want to waste any $. Not to be too cynical but I think SBU only interviews roughly 2.25 times their class size. As some interviews have gone out (most people are lurkers on this site and don't participate) and there are other applications to review your chances are obviously signifigantly lower. That's not to say that it's impossible but if finances are a concern over time / cycle you might find it prudent to submit April of next year. Totally your call though. I would review past years and see when people submitted theirs. I myself submitted last cycle at the end of May. Just my two cents. Do your own research though and in the end do what's right for you based on your own situtation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigiorda2 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi all, My name is Rachel and I'll be attending the morning interview on October 20th! I'll be flying in all the way from Indiana so if anyone has any good advice on getting around the area I'd greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaurn3 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Congrats to those who got interviews! Did you guys get a confirmation email after submitting supplemental application and verification of CASPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaykay Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I submitted my supplemental in June and there were issues with my CASPA transcripts so it was not verified until 7/28. I still have not heard anything from them! Starting to get worried! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul890 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I received an interview invite yesterday for the October 20th afternoon session. My CASPA was verified on July 9th. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivian4 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hi guys congratulations to all of those you who are interviewing!!! I am interviewing on Sept. 26 and I was wondering if anyone knows if the interview process has a writing section? I have done multiple interviews were they incorporate a writing section and it is usually what makes me the most nervous. Thank you so much your help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parity Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 If they are using the same format as they did previously, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigiorda2 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Does anyone know if there are any shuttles available that travel from MacArthur airport to any of the hotels near campus? I am trying to figure out the financially best way to travel (coming from Indiana) and am weighing out whether to fly into JFK and take the train or fly into MacArthur and take a shuttle from there to campus. Please let me know if anyone has any advice. I'll be attending the October 20th morning interview and am flying in the night before. Good luck to everyone!

jms91 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 @rigiorda2 if there are flights from Indiana to MacArthur, I would definitely suggest booking one of those as it is going to be your most convenient option. The LIRR can be quite confusing if you are not familiar with it (I, myself, still get confused if I use any branch that I am not familiar with) and you can't exactly count on it to run on time. As far as hotels, I live about 15 minutes from SBU so I probably won't be of much help there... however, I believe there is a hotel located on/next to campus? Hope this helps! See you all bright and early October 20th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer smith Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If they are using the same format as they did previously, yes. they have never required a writing sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple3 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 So no writing sample? Either way I don't find writing samples too bad. The prompt can generally just be asked as an interview question in my experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.h.liu90 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hello! Congrats for receiving interviews and good luck everyone! I have seen people posting their interview dates, and I will be joining the October 20th afternoon pool. I was just wondering if anyone was interested in starting a meetup group for those unfamiliar to the campus and such (like me) on the day of earlier/prior to simply calm our nerves/ be more familiar with the campus? Also, I'm not sure if I am allowed to ask this of the Sept. 26th pool, but how were the interviews? Does anyone have some hints/tips/advice? Thanks in advance and look forward to meeting everyone!

Disciple3 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm down to meet, I'll be driving in Monday and should be there sometime that evening. As for the actual interviews I believe it is just 2-20 minute interviews with different faculty. Normal style I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
