II this morning! Just to add to the data set, I submitted my secondary 8/9 and took my casper 8/11, so I think they're pretty much looking all over the place in terms of dates!

Congrats! What were your stats?
 
is a hold essentially a rejection or has this school actually sent true rejections already?
 
Has anyone with an interview heard back about overnight hosting program? Email said we'd know around now. My interview is at the end of the month.

Nope. I haven't even gotten an email "confirmation of your request for a host in early September 2016," that they said I'd get. Have you?
 
Question in regards to hotels/transportation:
I'm looking to get a hotel the night before my interview that's near NYMC, but I won't have a car and I heard there's no uber/lyfts in the area... Am I supposed to pre-schedule a taxi the morning of the interview to take me from the hotel to the school?

Likewise, will there be many interviewees hailing taxis from the school to get them to the airport? Are these all pre-scheduled? I think splitting a cab would be cheaper..
 
@queenoftheclouds I would see if you can book a hotel like Westchester Marriott and ask them about their shuttle service, it's usually free and you can book it ahead. That said, I've ridden uber here several times with no problems.

Congrats! So jealous! Just out of curiosity what are the dates they are offering now?
Click to expand...

The dates offered were Monday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from the last week of November through end of December
 
Is anyone interviewing this Monday? It's my first interview and I am nervous but so excited! I would love to PM with anyone else who will be there.
 
How to contact the admission office regarding my LOR's? email or phone? what number?

I got an email about my host on Monday.
 
I took my Casper 7/10 and submitted everything else that day too, but wasn't complete until 8/17 due to LOR delay. Still haven't heard anything...based on other people's dates I'm hoping to get some feedback soon!

Complete since ~7/20, still no news. Anyone else?

Same. It can be a long wait... They do place people on hold (unlike some schools that will 'review' you for 8 months), so if you're still under review, you just have to wait...
 
CASPer score received today! - Took the test 8/30
 
Took CASPer 9/18. Still not on my page.
Complete 7/13 and nothing yet...

The test itself typically takes 3-4 weeks to grade. I wouldn't expect to see it on your portal until after that time.
 
I'm still waiting on my last rec letter from a grad advisor :-/. Congrats to everyone seeing movement!
 
Does it take a while for rec letters to show up?
I did my secondary and CASPer in early July, but my letters just went out on 9/12. I called them and they said it could take 4-6 weeks for my letters to show up there. Does it really take that long? That seems absurd

Well, considering the # of applications coming in esp. during this time, I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I'm in a similar position as you, wondered if I should call but I'm thinking it's probably best to wait it out!

I designated my letters in mid September and it only took 4 days for them to show up as received.

Thanks! 4-6 weeks just seems unusually long to upload a letter. Hopefully we get completed soon!

On the phone they said something like they put your app on hold if there are no letters and check back for them every so often. Maybe I just got unlucky with the timing😳
 
"This section contains updated information about the status of your interview invite. You may be invited for an interview at any time during the interview season which runs from October through April. Interview invites are sent vai email with instructions on how to self-schedule your interview from the date options offered."

does this mean i'm on pre-II hold? or does everyone has this on their application status

Can you please let me know when you see you Letters as received because I am also in a similar situation and its freaking me out
 
@Chelsea FC Don't worry, they will contact you at a certain point if your letters are incomplete. When I applied they emailed and called me regarding letters and it was probably 8 weeks after they arrived. If you're really concerned, a polite phone call for clarification won't hurt you.
