SUNY Downstate Summer 2016

Hello,

This is actually my second time around applying. I reapplied back in august of this year and my status also says application sent to committee... seems like an eternity waiting for a decision I know! I called and they said it takes 3 months to hear back so im anxiously waiting, but I didn't ask whether its 3 months from your submission date or 3 months from when its sent to the committee

hey, any updates on your application? mine has moved to "Faculty Screener6", i hope that's progress! i can't seem to find anyone else who'd applied!!

bktid · Nov 15, 2015

Yes now mine says faculty screener 10. We're in the home stretch now. Last year I had faculty screener 6. And I got a decision within 4 weeks after my application got assigned to a faculty screener. I guess we just applied so early idk lol I'm hoping we find out by thanksgiving

do you know what the difference is between 6 and 10? are those just the number assigned to the faculty reading it, I wonder? it's all such a mystery!

so you didn't get in last year? what was the main issue with your application then do you think? are you all finished with your PQs and everything? hopefully we'll both get in this year!

Yea I think it's just the number assigned to whoever is reviewing your application. When I applied last year I hadn't taken AP 2 or microbiology yet and the rejection letter said applicants emerging apply when they've completed prereqs are viewed more favorably .thanks fingers and toes crossed for us both ! I'm all done with all the requirements now.. That's why I reapplied so early... What about u?

hi all, i'm also an applicant for the accelerated program for summer of 2016. i submitted my app about a week ago, and i'm seeing now that it says "incomplete review." have either of you seen that status on your application around the time you applied? what does it mean?

Piniella · Nov 19, 2015

hey! congrats on submitting your app! glad we've got some folks posting here - i haven't been able to find any other threads for 2016.

i submitted my app early (in August) and according to my current status, I think they have my decision (It says "File Return to Admissions After Comm. Rev.) - so now I'm just waiting to hear WHAT the decision is. It's torture! I did get an email recently tho that said I was missing documents (transcripts) which I absolutely wasn't. But, I responded to the email and provided those documents, just to be sure they had them. I would call them directly and ask - they won't give us info we want (like, WHEN WILL I HEAR?!) but they do answer specific questions.

hope that helps!

thanks for creating the thread! that sounds like you'll be hearing back soon if your application has gone through those stages, and its almost december! you're referring to the unofficial transcripts, correct? did you ever receive confirmation regarding the prerequisite course grid that we had to email to admissions? i emailed a few times (since its been stated that email is the schools preferred form of communication) but received no confirmation about the grid.

i'm considering calling today to see what "incomplete review" means- maybe they've only partially reviewed my app. when did you take your TEAS?

Piniella · Nov 19, 2015

call them! i've called them a BUNCH of times with questions (but i don't give my name so they don't know who's bugging them!)

i took my TEAS in September and did well. I'm currently finishing 2 prereqs this semester (1 science), so i hope that doesn't influence their decision. are you all done w/ your prereqs?

lyspo · Nov 19, 2015

"incomplete review" means they haven't finished reviewing the application, not that material is missing. they were very kind on the phone. i finished my last prereq in june! which ones are you working on now? did you attend an info session?
