It would be sooo nice to have an acceptance from an awesome school before break.

I'm guessin' there's no discernible order to how they're doing things now post-Sandy? I see september, october, and november acceptances. Just going to try to save some brain cells and wait and twiddle my thumbs.
 
Interviewed 9/27....still waiting, absolute top choice. Getting a call would make my holiday season the best!...Good luck to all still waiting.
 
Do the MMI here tend to focus on ethics, acting out scenarios or just traditional questions? Or is it pretty much a mix of all of those?

MMI are generally always ethical questions at any school. As long as you have common sense, you'll be fine with these. I would say more but we signed a paper saying we can't and idk the extent of the details of that haha put it this way, I interviewed on the first day here where nobody even knew that NYU did MMIs and I just gave it my best shot n got accepted

Not always ethical. Think of it like an debate/impromptu question. You're given a prompt, couple minutes to prep, and 5-10 minutes to speak. There is very little back and forth, so what matters is your ability to:
1) communicate thoughts effectively
2) be logical and reasoned in your decision/conclusion.

Think of it as verbalizing an essay.

Anyone else get an error when they try to submit the deposit?

I'm having trouble paying the deposit - also, I just got an acceptance by email but no phone call, although I did miss two calls from a 352-85. Is that their phone number?

Definitely made my weekend!

Interesting, mine here had a lot of back and forth but I do agree most MMI have little back and forth. Here was a little different though for me in terms of your points written here. Overall though, just common sense should get you through any MMI
 
Still no news! Guess I'll have to wait till after the holidays!

Yup, same boat! NYU was one of my top choices after interviewing!

Congrats to everyone accepted so far! 🙂 Did anyone else from late November hear back?
 
Acceptance vie email this morning! Absolutely surprised since I totally screwed up my mmi 😱

Interview date please?

And, is there any change to the status page once you're offered an acceptance?

I interviewed 10/15
Just checked my status page, and there is a new row under "application category": Acceptance, with a green check mark and date.

I will sit on this spot for another week or so before I let someone else have it 👍
 
I interviewed before then in Oct. Kinda sad now. I guess I'm waitlisted

I wouldn't say that yet! Their website says "Acceptance letters will be sent out on a rolling basis, beginning in January. Wait list and rejection letters will be sent by March 1st." That's from the How to Apply section, plus the calendar says acceptances start in January.

I'm thinking since there aren't too many acceptances reported here yet, that these December acceptances are kind of like the few November acceptances they released last year.

Also, last year they updated their twitter when acceptances "officially" started coming out on a rolling basis and they haven't done that yet this year.

Don't lose hope yet!
 
A big congratulations to all those who received acceptances so far! 😀 For those who have not yet heard, please don't worry! As others have said, acceptances are rolling and there will be other times they will send out acceptances. Happy holidays everyone 🙂

Edit: Here is the Class of 2017 fb group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/136565423167424

And to add to this, I think they've only accepted a few of their absolute top candidates (a big congrats to all those accepted!). I *speculate* that they're working their way down a ranked list, slowly accepting a small group of people on each designated acceptance day.

+1 It says something about the security certificate for the pay site not being trustworthy or something like that. 😕

Yes, here as well. I tried to access the site using firefox, chrome and internet explorer and get security warnings with all three. 🙁
 
Just got an interview invite in my email this morning! Just as I had resigned myself to silence for the holidays 🙂

Complete 11/25. Dates to schedule are in January.
 
sorry to bring this up again: Did anyone remember getting a status change on their secondary application website after their interview, but before acceptance? Mine still has a black and white circular icon that says "Your interview is scheduled on..." right after the icon. thanks.

are there many options left? the admissions site say interviews through jan 25, but i feel like they cant have many left to schedule
 
I emailed the admissions office a few days ago about being unable to pay the deposit. I received an email today saying that they are experiencing technical difficulties and that they will extend the 2-week deadline to pay the deposit.

There were several date options for me, so maybe there are still a good number of spots left? I honestly have no idea.

I don't remember seeing any after the 25th, so that might still be the last date....

Okay, thank you very much for the information
 
anyone have any idea on how the acceptance process works..i interviewed in late September and haven't heard back in the first wave. does that mean waitlist/rejection later?
 
People who have interviewed already: do they provide a space to store your luggage? It's been pretty standard at my interviews thus far, but because they've had to move into a new office unexpectedly and their website doesn't mention it, I just wanted to check.

Sorry if this has been addressed earlier, but after going through several pages of previous posts my eyes glazed over and I figured I'd just ask.
 
They have a closet where you can hang your coat. When I was there, people either put their belonging (bags, umbrella, what have you) in the closet as well or take it with them into the waiting room and put it next to their chair.
 
anyone know where I should send my update letter to should I upload it as an additional document to my secondary application or should I email it directly to the admissions office Last ditch effort to score an interview and i want to make sure it gets looked at before all the slots are gone 🙂

same boat... interviewed on 9/20 but haven't heard back still.

*sigh*
 
I interviewed the 16th of October. Does anybody have an idea when I should hear something back? Thanks in advance!
 
This year is unusual because of the circumstances after Hurricane Sandy. From previous years, it looks like NYU SOM has a large wave of acceptances on a certain day after interviews are over. This was December 15th in previous years (they usually end interviews in early December). However, since they are still interviewing applicants until January 25th, I'd imagine this date will be closer to the end of January (Since they still have on their website that applicants will be notified prior to February 1st - Keep in mind that I also remember that another website said it was pushed back to March 1st so it could be even later).

As with previous years, NYU did accept a small group of people before this date. I think we all just have to wait until their interview season is over.

any idea if theyve started rejecting people pre-interview? cause i'd rly rly love to go to NYU, and i haven't had a decision yet. i sent a letter of interest a few days ago, hoping that helps, but if they stop interviewing in January it seems like theres little chance. oh well ill keep hoping
 
Oh dang, I made a big mistake. Just was looking at last year's thread and it seems like they were interviewing well into January. I just assumed that that since they were extending the interview season this year and were ending interviews January 25th this year that the interview season ended earlier last year. I was definitely wrong. Anyway, looks like there was 3 invites reported in January. Not sure exactly how that works if their last interview was late January. The guy who reported a Jan 19 II lived in NYC though.

Haven't seen any pre-interview rejections reported. Sorry for the mistakes in my previous posts. There's definitely still some hope for an II.
 
Cancelled my interview here. Hope it goes to another sdner

I interviewed Dec. 17 and have heard nothing (and I have a connection). Did anyone else interviewing on that date get accepted yet? It seems from thread that they are accepting a fairly good number of top candidates quickly and everyone else is waiting.....and I also saw that last year they "overaccepted" and had to take back some acceptances with guarantee those folks would be in next class = so that would mean there are even fewer spots for our class.....
 
does anybody know if it's possible to apply to the md/phd program after starting in md-only?

Hang tight! Some of us have been waiting anxiously for 2-3 months. It ain't over till it's over!
