Rendo1983 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hello everyone! I haven't seen any Stony Brook forums for this year so I thought I'd start one. Good luck to everyone applying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adalexia Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hello! I have a strange question. Has anyone had any weird communications with the school? I called to ask if the supplemental can be uploaded as a PDF since microsoft was formatting it weirdly, and the lady said "what do you think?". To which I thought, I have no idea thats why I'm asking! Now I feel bad for even asking. Then when emailing them to confirm that they received my supplemental I got a reply saying "if you sent it then we have it." Just like that! No punctuation or anything. Does anyone know if the lady answering calls for the program is a secretary, or a program administrator? I just wonder if this has any reflection on the PA program itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take it personally since it's happened to so many others too. It is definitely odd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggyteabag Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Did anyone else have trouble submitting the payment for the supplemental in the first place? I put in my card info and hit "submit" but it looks like nothing is happening. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't yet received any confirmation email about my application or supplemental, except  an auto-email that I received on submitting my supplemental. Did anyone receive any response about anything? Or interview invite for this year? Wish you all good luck I submitted mid may and about 1 week later I received an email that stated my application was under review. In that email it stated that interview invites would start to go out in July and be via zoom this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurepa369 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hi everyone! I received the confirmation email stating my app was under review on 5/21. This is my first cycle applying and I’m very excited! Best of luck to everyone and hoping for some good news in July! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePa5892 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, I went through last years thread to see when people got interview invites. Looks like Stony Brook sent out invites from 7/14Â to 10/02. Hope this helps with the timeline for everyone! However, I strongly suggest every applicant take a look through last years thread if you haven't already. There are students and graduates who give their own insight into their experience with the program. The students also call out a program administrator/employee who was posing as a student and picking arguments in the thread. It seems like a consensus that most applicants have a rude experiences when reaching out to the program directly and there are many areas that the program can improve upon. Take a look and make your own judgement. Edited June 21, 2022 by MayhS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this interesting. I know a bunch of alum from SBU PA program, and there take on last years comments was that it was the opinion of two or three disgruntled people and should not be taken too seriously. I don't know I have heard nothing but great things.  On a personal note, how many program on average are you guys applying to? Is 10 overkill?

I'm applying to 18 schools. So I wouldn't say 10 is over kill lol. I dont have personal connections to alumni or students. So although it's unprofessional to air grievances on a thread like this, I doubt I would have come across any candid thoughts on the program if they hadn't. Although 2 of the students seemed very pessimistic, but PAStony offered a more neutral perspective about the program. They also confirm the program employee/administrator (jenprepa2022 who is on this thread) posing as a student who argues with anyone with a negative experience. The rude responses that applicants receive from the admissions office (see Adalexia's post above) also adds to faculty's unprofessional behavior. So some of the stories shared by students seem more believable compared to other school threads. However, if there are additional students and grads on this thread, I would love to hear an unbiased perspective regarding the program and faculty!

Prepa1617 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Has anyone else not heard back yet? I applied in early June and completed both the CASPA and supplemental application but haven't received anything as to whether or not they have received my application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
