2021-2022 New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That's definitely true, but we can also assume that they take people off the WL in batches. We've only seen one burst of people on this thread get off the WL, so I think it's still safe to assume that they've only done one round of admissions off the WL so far and that there'll probably be at least one or two (albeit maybe smaller) batches coming in the next few weeks.
Yeah I get that but that wasn’t my point. I was trying to say just because only few people on this thread said they got off the WL does not necessarily mean that there was less WL movement this year. I’m just saying SDN is a really small net to create assumptions from. Just trying to ease peoples anxiety.

Yes. My heart dropped a little. Hopefully we will be hearing of more movement soon!!!
Fingers crossed! Do you think it's too late to send out a LOI at this point or would it still be beneficial?

Always advocate for yourself. I don’t see why not? Just send it if it’s your top choice school.

I think my LOI definitely helped. Please send one, not too late.

I definitely will! Did you just send it to their admissions email? Or do they have a specific place for its submission?

Did anyone get their remain in wait list confirmation email yet? And is it me or did they send the email to confirm much later, around mid-May (in 2020-2021) compared to this cycle?

I submitted as soon as I got the email but haven’t received any confirmation yet.
 
Agree with the above. You have to stay proactive and vigilant and hustle about obtaining fourth year rotations, totally up to you. Email the hospitals Nycom has a good relationship with, early (even a year early!) and if you’re rotating there in third year, establish a good rapport and ask if you can schedule a fourth year rotation there. For rotations at “outside” hospitals, it’s really a waiting game based on that VSAS service or emailing hospitals directly and asking them. At the last minute though, if you don’t have a fourth year rotation secured, the school is obligated to place you somewhere at one of it’s hospitals. You can also rotate with a doc in the community of your choice during fourth year and use the majority of the time to study, follow a specialist if they go do rounds or procedures, etc, usually it’s approved by the school. As for third year, yeah the school does it for you so you have nothing to worry about. In the end, honestly it doesn’t matter where you rotate at, just get good grades and score high on boards. Rotating at places with residencies of course helps, but remember you can’t graduate or match if you don’t pass. Also remember the “best” hospitals for rotations may also work you toooooo hard and you may have no time to study, so keep that in mind. But yes, you do need a letter from IM for almost every speciality you apply for in match, so you need to study every day and be a good interested medical student lol. Rotations are honestly overall good, but yeah when you’re a second year, ask the class above you for advice, because things always change.

I submitted it around 1 pm-ishh and received a confirm email about 3 hours later. If i were you I'd reach out sometime tomorrow (since the email said confirmation would be sent between 24-48 hours

Also yaaa i hope this means more movement sooner. But also it could just mean theyre getting organized sooner

Yeah if I don't hear back by 11:30 I'll call them today.
 
Does that 1 year masters thing they emailed ppl about guarantee you an interview/acceptance? What are the benefits of it? They never sent me the email lmao and im getting desperate for a backup plan

The email said that they accept about 15-20 students. It’s 2 years masters program. But if you complete a year online program with at least GPA3.0, you can get into their med school next August. But if you applied and got accepted, you will no longer be on waitlist for DO 2022 entering class. Idk too much information about it if you need to reapply/retake MCAT/interview again etc.

Maybe because you are high ranking on the waitlist and about to get pulled off from the waitlist that’s why they didn’t send you one? (I know they said their waitlist isn’t ranked). Because I saw people who didn’t get that email, but later got off the waitlist. *manifesting good vibe, it’s almost May!*

Thank you so much!! & gosh i hope so! Sending lots of good vibes to you as well!!!
 
Oh yeah, a couple of us (including me) got the bridge program email a few months ago. I'm surprised they're still sending emails about it because our deadline was the beginning of April. I didn't apply so I don't know too much about it but it definitely freaks me out if I think too hard about it looool
Ah gotcha. Mine is early mid May. Did you get accepted?

Does anyone know if they send decisions throughout the day or if it's a mass email at one scheduled time? I need to know if I should keep stressing for the rest of today or not
