I have a question regarding the costs of attending NYCOM. According to the Information Book, the average indebtedness at NYCOM is significantly lower than many other schools, COMP for instance. Yet the total cost listed is one of the highest. Does anybody know why? Please share if you do! Thanks!

NYCOM:
Resident tuition: $44,405
Non-Resident tuition: $44,405
Supplemental Application fee: $60
Resident fees: $1,330
Non-Resident fees: N/A
Health Insurance: Can be waived
Average scholarship/grant: $1,089
Est. Room, Board, Books & Living Costs: $24,291/year
Average 2010 graduate indebtedness: $172,000

WesternU/COMP:
Resident tuition: $45,385
Non-Resident tuition: $45,385
Supplemental Application fee: $65
Resident fees: N/A
Non-Resident fees: N/A
Health Insurance: Can be waived
Average scholarship/grant (2009-2010): $9,082
Est. Room, Board, Books & Living Costs: $20,306/year
Average 2010 graduate indebtedness: $212,506
 
Base tuition at NYCOM, per year currently is $46,180

Also the lesser indebtedness if correct could also be attributed to more people at NYCOM having cash on hand to pay tuition each year than at Western, hence they graduate with lesser indebtedness. This is just a guess. I would think room/board at NYCOM would be higher than western though.
 
when do they interview until? Been complete since October, still waiting on word from this school. I know they are slow...
 
Nope, still waiting! According to last year's timeline it should be around this/next week!
 
called today, lady on the phone said II go out in January again....seriously, I ave to wait another month???
 
I called admissions a few min ago. "The decisions should be sent out shortly". Poo.

poo is right..."shortly" doesn't help much. This is the longest wait ever....Awesome you called though! Was hoping someone would.

Indeed. When was your interview?

Not until 11/9, so it hasn't even been a full month yet. I am hoping for Friday! :xf:

I know they send them out in bulk, so who knows. To anyone who interviewed towards the end of November- What timeline did they tell you?
 
I interviewed 11/16 and I still haven't heard anything. Any word on when they will tell us something? All the other schools I interviewed at took at most 2 weeks.

I interviewed 11/3 and they said give them a month.
 
Waiting is the WORST! When I interviewed last year my specific cycle didn't hear back for like 6 weeks and it killed me. Anyway, good luck guys it'll be worth the wait.

Nothing :(. When I called Monday it sounded like the committee hasn't decided yet. The admissions lady said they are waiting on the committee. Sounds like I should be hopefully getting stuff next week.

Thank you! I'm in Brooklyn, New York but I'm planning on getting an apartment somewhere near the school. The commute is too long.
 
Congrats everyone. Did anyone get anything about the DPC in the acceptance package or know how the application works?

They do give out silent rejections. I'm a re-applicant this year and never heard a word from them last year. Sad, but true! But it's still November - I've also heard they're really slow....so keep your head up! :thumbup:

I'm not sure how anyone can put up with that. I'd be calling them every 14 days till SOMEONE gives me an answer. No way am I going to pay them an application fee to have them simply not answer? Haha, not in this life time.
 
Nothing about DCP in the acceptance package. I remember them saying that we will receive an application form in the mail.
 
Accepted today! Got a letter in the mail and interviewed on november 17. Letter was postmarked dec 9.

Ny resident. Mcat 29. Gpa 3.4. Good luck everybody! :)
 
Accepted!! Letter postmarked 12/09, interviewed 11/9.
 
Hey all, long time viewer but registered to post my results for NYCOM (and any other schools once I hear from them):

Applied 6/28
Interviewed 11/9
Accepted 12/8

GPA 3.5 MCAT 31R, from Long Island NY

Deposit due by 1/27/2012

NYCOM is one of my top choices and am really happy to have been accepted. The campus was great, located in the heart of the "hinterlands of western Long Island", and really enjoyed the orientation/interview day they had for us.

I hope they send out decisions to OOS applicants this week. It seems like the NY applicants got heads up first considering they were all from different interview dates. I am OOS and I interviewed 11/3.
