Hi all, I’m fortunate to be choosing between UVA, SUNY Downstate, and NYMC. I’m interested in academic neurosurgery/neuroscience research, though I know interests can change. At first, I thought UVA was close to a no-brainer based on fit, research, and student experience. However, I asked a...

Hi all! I’m currently trying to narrow down my options between these two schools. I think I know what the general consensus usually is but it helps me to make pros/cons because I genuinely think both schools are great options for me. I’m a NY resident hoping to eventually match in Boston and am...

Hi! I’m super grateful to have been accepted to NYMC and Stony Brook SOM. I’m still waiting to hear back from some other interviews but think I should decide between these two and withdraw from one. I’ve only visited NYMC so any insight into Stony Brook is welcome! As you might be able to tell...

Background on my career goals: Looking to pursue a more competitive specialty, not exactly sure what. My personal impressions of the two: NYMC Pros First interview of the season, fell in love with mission, really enjoyed the faculty I met. Students really love NYMC, I didn't hear any real...

Hi everyone, I am a non-traditional applicant. I took the prerequisites some time ago and did well, but I need to show current coursework. I am trying to figure out if this program works for me. I am strong in the biological sciences, but it has been some years since I took rigorous...

Hi all, Recently got accepted into NYMC's Accelerated Master's Program (aka AMP). Big pros of this program (in my eyes) are small class size (~15 students, & up to 25 students maximum) and guaranteed interview invite to NYMC MD program if you have greater than or equal to 506 MCAT + 3.4 GPA...

Hi! I'm currently applying to NYMC's grad school (trad basic medical sciences). I've been doing a bit of research about the school but am still a bit unsure about the stats they accept and their acceptance rate in general. I know the accelerated program only accepts 15-25 students. Would anyone...

Been debating this for a while now and its been 50/50. If anyone can help me point out obvious pros and cons, that would be very appreciated! I also haven't received any financial assistance from either yet (both are private institutions), but my deal breaker might be whoever gives me a...

Basically, I can’t decide because it seems unclear how the Hahnemann closure at Drexel will affect students’ rotations and their ability to match. In other words, is it an inconvenience or a red flag? I put the rotation schedule for each school below if that helps. Thanks :) NYMC Internal...

It seems Wayne & NYMC have similar qualities. In particular I am interested to get some feedback regarding the following: Clinical training Match list Average USMLE scores Research opportunities Here is some info about me: OOS Not sure what field I am interested in, but I don't want to rule...

Hello all, I am having a hard time deciding on which SMP/Masters to attend. I graduated from uni with a 2.9 GPA overall, and a BCPM of 2.83, MCAT 509 (30) I have been accepted to all three, but am having trouble deciding what route would be best for me. Touro (middletown) has linkage to...

Interviewed last Friday at NYMC and just wanted to see if anyone's heard anything! They said two weeks so it's still early, but just curious.

I would love some advice here.... I currently need to decide between New York Medical College and Albany Medical College. Any thoughts/advice? I like that AMC is a part of a large medical center, although the old facilities and less than stellar interview day concern me. NYMC seems to do a...

Hey SDN! I am a Canadian MSc. student who is applying to U.S. MD and DO schools this year. Given the disadvantage that Canadians face as out-of-state/international applicants to the U.S., I want to hedge my bets by applying to a post-bacc program. I've read about the linkages that some programs...

So I have had the fortunate opportunity to be accepted to both programs. I live in California and my family currently lives here as well. I know that WesternU has a great reputation in California. As for NYMC, I have heard mixed reviews and cannot seem to find how well it is ranked. Am I going...

Hi all! So 3 schools I'm applying to require a CASPer score to be sent to the school. Does this mean you are not marked complete till the score is received? Does this not delay many people's applications since it takes approximately 1 month to process and score the CASPer test?

I was just accepted here and would like to speak with current students/alum about their experiences. Also those in/who have gone through psychiatry residency. You can post your thoughts and opinions here but I would love to speak directly as well. Thanks!

The multiple mini interview (MMI), for example, is often thought to be impossible to prepare for. I am here to tell you that practice makes perfect. This applies to everything in life. Whether it involves preparing for an organic chemistry test, preparing to give a speech in front of an...

Both schools have similar size in terms of class, both are new environments for me and it looks like tuition is gonna be similar for both since I'm OOS and from what I've read Virginia has strict laws on how one can be re-classified as a Virginia resident. NYMC Pros Location - It's NY, which I...

I was recently accepted off of the waitlist at one of these schools, so I'm now holding 2 acceptances and I'm having trouble making a decision. I know Netter is a fairly new school with less name recognition (just accredited this past spring and only 1 match list), limited research (apparently...

For anyone currently on the NYMC waitlist, feel free to post any waitlist movement, questions, comments or advice.

OOS for both. CT resident. Seemingly similar prestige/rank. Pros for NYMC -Match list, feels overall like a "better fit", has SLP masters program (girlfriend interested in), close to home (only 45 mins away from home - very important), on campus housing, close to Manhattan, connection with...

NYMC Pros grew up 20 minutes away; family still in area; many friends in NYC (this is so important to me and is the main reason i keep wanting to choose NYMC) beautiful campus summer between 1st and 2nd year with funded research opportunities students seemed to really like the program and each...

Hey all, I was hoping to get some advice regarding what I should do as an eventual re-applicant. Some background on myself: Degree granting college GPA:3.69 Degree granting college sGPA: 3.53 MCAT score: 498 (very low, I know :() Phys & Chem: 123, Biological: 123, Psych:124, CARS:128 4000+...

Hi Guys! So I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. I got into both schools and I am hoping to do a 1 year MS program while applying to Medical School at the same time. GPA: 3.98, MCAT: 505. I went to a weak undergrad with a low graduation rate, high transfer rate, and pretty mediocre faculty----long...

Hello all, So I've been super fortunate to receive and acceptance at NYMC. NYMC was one of my top choices from the get go, I love the location and facilities, the diverse patient base, and how close it is to my family. The only reason I would consider UVM is if I would be given a significant...

Notes from interview day (2015-16 season): Overall: Strong program for residency training with a lot of exposure to sick patients--no obvious deficits. Impressive fellowship match list. Main turn off for most is likely the location/traveling. PROS: strong fellowship match (c/o 2016: ~80%...

Hey everyone, I tried posting this in the school specific thread but haven't had much luck so I'm posting here. I have to choose between EVMS and NYMC within the next couple of days so any information will be much appreciated. Can any current students at NYMC or anyone who is familiar with...

Hi Everyone! I was recently accepted into the MPH - Health Policy and Management (certificate in Global Health) Program for Fall 2016 at NYMC! I thought it would be great to start a thread for future classmates to get to know each other and discuss any problems / concerns / preparations for the...

Hi, I have finally made a decision about what to do after college and it went from applying to medical schools directly to applying for SMPs. I have found some places I would definitely go to including the few schools in the NYC area Touro Mt Sinai New York Medical College and some in Philly...

Hey all, I'm having trouble deciding between these three schools and I was hoping for some objective input from SDN. A little background on myself: I'm a former CA resident that currently lives in NYC with my SO. My SO will remain in NYC--she has a great job and can't afford to leave. I'm...

In light of receiving an acceptance to NYMC recently, I decided to share the MMI strategy that I used in hopes that it can help you with your upcoming MMI interview. I created this strategy from reading over many different threads, posts, and websites to compile all of the things I thought were...

Used by McMaster, uOttawa, NYMC, and Rutgers, CASPer measures your professional maturity. While advertised as 'non-preppable' this is not strictly true, and the difference between those who understand the test and those who don't is obvious from the answers we've seen. There are many prep...
