Deferrals
Accepted applicants may request a deferral for up to one year in order to participate in educational activities or social service projects. Requests must be made in writing prior to May 1st of the planned year of matriculation and submitted by mail or email (medadmissions@downstate.edu) for review by the Admissions Committee. No extensions beyond one year are permitted. All deferred applicants are required to file an Early Decision/Delayed Matriculation application for the following year.
Once you are accepted for admission, you might be required to submit a New York State Residency for Tuition application, and submit supporting documentation. If you are required to submit such documentation or should you wish to apply for New York State Residency status for tuition, click below.
