paulprepa Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 After some reflecting, I decided to retract my interview offer. I know it will go to an amazing candidate who deserves it!!! This school seems phenomenal and was so honored to be offered an interview. Good luck guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind sharing what made you decide to retract? Please don't respond if you don't feel comfortable sharing, but thought I would ask anyways !

Please don't respond if you don't feel comfortable sharing, but thought I would ask anyways ! Honestly, I really liked the school when it comes to quality this school is at the top for me, also I preferred to go to a school in a state other than my home state (AZ). However, I was already accepted to a school in AZ last month and when I got the interview invite for stony brook I started thinking about the pros and cons. With more consideration I realized I have family here in with lots of options for affordable housing here in AZ and the schools were reasonably priced. I felt financially this was more responsible for my personal situation. I also know someone who lived near Stony brook and now lives here in AZ and he helped me describe the differences in the social scene. I did apply to tons of other schools because I was afraid of not receiving interview invites, but will continue to weigh out the pros/cons for each school that gives me an interview. Making this decision was difficult but wanted to go with my gut instinct Edited July 8, 2020 by paulprepa 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I live on Long Island and i can tell you that Stony Brook is a really nice town in Suffolk county, very safe. It is close to many beaches on the north shore of LI but a little bit far from NYC but easily accessible by train. The campus is really nice as well and vast but it offers bus service to go around. Hope that answers your question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuturePA6813 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) If I submitted my supplemental on 5/11 and haven't heard anything should I consider that a rejection? I was verified 5/7.

Thanks! He loves the area and has nothing negative about the area. He did not really say much but would totally agree with @concertblues, but he knows me really well and said that both options for going to school in AZ or Stonybrook would be great for my preference. Where I live is pretty populated and I like a busy social scene, so I decided I would not mind going to school in my home state for PA school. This was a very personal choice and I am not sure if it applies to anyone else. I still have anxiety from turning down my interview cause I know the location and school is great at Stonybrook and I was sitting right on the fence on making the decision.

Jordanna Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I already was verified on CASPA for Stony brook and then saw there was a supplemental application. After sending in the supplemental application I got an email confirming they got it and that all I needed to do now was wait to hear back about an interview. People who got that email after submitting their supplemental app how long did it take to hear back about an interview?

caralavecch Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hey! Did anyone else not receive confirmation after sending their supplemental? I sent mine back in June but never got a confirmation. I went back to last year's thread, and that seemed normal, but now im wondering if I should reach out if other people are receiving confirmations?
