So as far as financial aid goes, I found out my irs info won't be ready for 2 weeks, firstly...how bad will this be for me in applying for fa? I talked to tony already and he said not to worry and to just finish everything when I can, but I'm just worried I won't get my loans in time.
Also...is there any action we need to take as far as living on campus, or will that information be emailed to us shortly?

Just got in!!! My watch is over, I'm going to med school next year!!![/QUOTE]
Do they call or email you about the decision?

Email. Got it at about 3:30p if that helps!
Current M1 here :] ... If Tony said it will be fine, then everything will be fine- promise!
Also, look forward to meeting you all next year!
I've talked to tony like 3 times. He seems like the man hahah
Also I actually finished all financial aid stuff today so no big deal
lol good stuff. did you receive any kind of confirmation email yet?
I didn't receive any notification because it's all in the mail still lol but I sent out all forms I needed to even though the irs said my info won't be ready til June. Liars.
I received the housing and health forms this morning! still no word on fin aid for me though
holy cow, how quick things change. congrats!

Lol know the feeling...all of us on the waitlist appreciate you giving up your spot!!
Accepted off the wait list today🙂!
Congratulations! Sorry if I am being snoopy, but noticed you also got into Drexel earlier in the cycle as well. How will you decide between these two schools? I'm wondering because I got into NYMC last week and Drexel's decision for me is currently in the mail, so I don't know what I will be doing if I get accepted to Drexel!
Still haven't withdrawn, cause I'm waiting to have the acceptance to the other school in writing haha so there will be more movement shortly!
Finally just worked up the nerve to withdraw my acceptance. I hope my spot goes to one of you on the waitlist!! Best of luck everybody!

Withdrew my acceptance today. VERY, VERY tough decision. NYMC is really a great school, but I just felt a better fit for me elsewhere. Best of luck to everyone else still on the WL!

Just got my financial aid award and I'm in shock at how terrible it is. 100% loans, not even a dollar worth of grants or anything. my goodness.
ME TOO BAHHHHHHHHH
it's seriously scary. my total budget came out to $77k. is that the usual amount? will that cover living expenses plus my car payment comfortably? scary lol
how the hell? are you on or off campus for living? really confused by how they come to this....
that's a good point. I'm just suddenly realizing that after tuition + rent + whatever other fees + my car payment, I'm not going to have all that much to live on. slight freak out
https://www.nymc.edu/AdmissionsAndF...Planning/Budgets/Medicine/NewFirst/index.html
These are the budgets. To get a budget of 89.5k one would have selected that they are living off campus which increases the budget for housing & transportation.
edit: I wonder where the extra 2k came from. That's weird...

lol yeah. maybe I marked off that I have health insurance so that's why I'm 4k under the budget from that site? not sure, might have to call for clarification
I'm sure that's why. My estimate was $81K and I'm using NYMC's health insurance.

ok good, that's helpful to hear. thanks!
I totally should have done that. I thought if I marked off campus and lived on campus they wouldn't allow me the off campus budget.
Are you leasing from a dealer in Cali or NY?
If anyone needs to lease a car in NY my brother in law is the manager at a leasing company 20 min away from nymc. Pm me if u want more info
do we get anything at orientation, or do we basically need to purchase everything we need on our own?
Hi everyone, M3 here. Just letting you all know about a fb group we have to buy and sell books, scopes, furniture, you name it. Its for NYMC students only, but it has been really active lately. Students often sell their old scopes and books at significant discounts to their retail value and we hope you pass on the same to future students as well.
You can join the FB group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/933449703367301/ As more students finish step 1, you'll start to see more posts relevant to first year texts and material.
Also, if you haven't joined yet, you should become a member of your Class of 2019 fb group. I know that my class, and the class of 2018 have posted really useful information in the past, course notes, texts, and study material... not to mention info about local bar nights and things to do in the area. I believe your group is this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/355828587936897/ I just joined... like a super creepy old dude or something.
I hope you guys have all made relaxing summer plans to enjoy the last month and half of freedom. Definitely go on the dinner cruise during orientation and most importantly, relax... its all uphill from here 😀

Could I ask a question as a future applicant: for the MMI, did you have the evaluators in the same room? Or were there people watching you through one-way mirror?
Yes, the evaluator is in the same room. They are the ones you explain your answer to and they will provide follow-up questions, etc. This is how it's done at NYMC. I believe this is how it's done at pretty much all schools unless it's an acting station.
A friend of mine had to do a role play at a different school and for that she said it was just the applicant and actor in one room and the evaluator was in a different room.

Is there any blended-in traditional station?
Yeah, I don't think they are super common, but they do exist. It's mostly ethical/critical thinking scenarios though.
Hi guys ! Is there anyone in need of a female roommate or know of anyone trying to share an apartment? I'm homeless.

Hi older students of nymc (or anyone that has the answer to this q),
The "what to bring" pdf mentioned a bicycle. How useful is having a bike? About what % of the student body brought a bike? Are bikes kept on an uncovered bike rack? I will have a car. Thanks!
