i don't know anything about their adcom meetings, but the interview was pretty quick and super laid back. everyone there was really nice, the students were cool and actually had lives outside of school. i liked it

Congrats guys!
Consider the DPC (problem based learning) program. I love it, PM me w questions
Dont recommend this so openly. MANY students in DPC dont like it, and you shouldnt pressure ppl into it.
Consider this: you can only switch to the regular, lecture based, in the beginning. from then on you are stuck for 2 years. There is much less guidance and its still a new program. Many ppl IN dpc are complaining about it so tread lightly.
when you're accepted you're automatically enrolled in the traditional lecture based program. you have to apply for the independent one (sorry I forgot the name of it). there are only about 30 - 40 students in each year, i heard.
you have about the first two weeks to decide whether or not it's for you. if it's not, you can switch back to the lecture based. if you can't decide within that period, then you're stuck for the rest of your days.. puahah
hope i helped clear things up. that's what i heard when i went in for the interview.
Congrats to all accepted.
If you don't mind, could those accepted please post their stats; it would be greatly appreciated.
i interviewed on the 14th as well and i have yet to hear anything...good luckAnyone who interviewed on the 14th or 16th hear anything yet? I interviewed on the 14th and really like the school...keeping my fingers crossed.

but at least those r those few rare after exam partiesuh, who are these mythical students with "lives?" if i had to guess, i think the administration paid them to lie to you.
but congrats if it makes you happy...

If your goal is to honor every course you will not have a life at any school. If your goal is to learn the material and pass then there really is no reason to not have a life at NYCOM since exams are once every 4-7 weeks.The neighborhood pizza guy just asked me if I was unemployed since he keeps seeing me walking all over the neighborhood with/without my family.
I even scored a Wii on launch day too. Ok maybe I don't have a life since me and my son are gamers.
If in doubt, apply for DPC. You have 2 weeks or so to drop out of DPC and switch to lecture based if you don't like it. It is much harder to go the reverse direction, aka Lecture -> DPC once school starts. My roommate is in DPC, and he loves it. If you're looking for the ultimate independent learning experience, it is not DPC ; it is being lecture based, but never going to class and instead streaming. That's about as independent as you can get. I haven't gone to class since 3rd week of school, and have passed both tests so far.nycom stud--
what's the deal with DPC? when i was on the tour, i talked to one of the students about it, but since he wasn't in it, he couldn't give me too many details.
why's it so bad? any reason to go for it vs. not?
PM if you don't want to post...i was originally very interested in it..now, not so sure!
