2018-2019 NYU Long Island

[lil_nae]

I received II Thursday evening. I submitted March 4th. Average GPA, good MCAT. I chose internal medicine. I’m a little bit of a different candidate, I come from a public health background and really enjoy longitudinal medicine/internal medicine. Interview options were April 4, 5, 7. I’m going April 5th.

What is considered an "average" MCAT score? I think my MCAT score was also pretty average, but I'm not really sure since the numbers seem to be so inflated on SDN haha

Does anyone know if they accept updates? Do we just upload them on the portal or email?

 

[djiboutiman]

should i bother putting an app in here? could probably finish the secondary by this Sunday

Do it! I'll be sending my app in this weekend too.

 

[lil_nae]

got an II this afternoon!

 

[MedPenguin]

II this afternoon for internal medicine, available dates April 8th-11th. At this rate, it seems like they might be working their way through a large number of applicants until the beginning of May. LM 70 as another data point.

I was able to upload them through the portal I believe.

 

[nature_doc_95]

Also an II this afternoon for internal medicine!!! Interviewing April 8th, and submitted the secondary on March 11th. LM 68

 

[cptsam]

LM 65 just submitted my app, hope it doesn't affect me too badly

 

[SirButtcheek]

Man, I'm sad, submitted March 1st for Int Med, LM 72, high MCAT decent GPA no interview. RIPERONI

 

[FutureOB512]

Same. I wonder how many interview spots they have left with the plethora of II's we've been seeing on this thread and the fact that their class size is only 24

It seems like it has only been internal medicine though. Maybe they are going speciality by specialty.

 

[hopefulMD_305]

Also submitted my app with LM 65. I chose Internal Medicine

 

[premed1980]

got an II this afternoon!

What specialty/stats if you don’t mind my asking?

 

[lil_nae]

What specialty/stats if you don’t mind my asking?

Internal medicine, LM 70!

 

[cppsam]

Anyone know why they state january as last acceptable mcat? Thoughts on applying with test date later than that?

 

[HistoryMD2015]

My LM is 66. Fingers crossed for an II.

 

[lakertodoc]

Assuming I got looked over already. But is there state preference here?

 

[cptsam]

forgot to submit a photo...

so i guess im complete now lol

 

[feelsbadman]

This is so weird. I never got a secondary and thought I got screened out for some reason but it looks like they sent one to everyone.

I don't think there's a pre-secondary screen based on stats.

Based on the posts here, it looks like NYU-LI has caught up on reading apps. Those who submitted earlier but haven't heard back might be put on hold?? Or, they might be stratifying apps based on LizzyM (or something similar). just some random speculations.

 

[med112]

II while abroad earlier this week- Friday I think. I chose internal medicine, available dates then were april 4/5. LM 70

 

[Organichem1st]

Around how many people do you think they’re interviewing this year? Asking because a lot of people on SDN seemed to get interviews haha

 

[wesleysnipes]

It appears as if everyone and their mother has been invited. I'm excluded (of course).

Class size is 24 and I'm guessing that most people who get accepted will attend. If you decided to throw in an app and attend an interview this late into the cycle then you're most likely serious about the school. Also, the tuition is free. Maybe they'll admit around 30. If they accept 1/3 of the people they admit then that's 90 interviews

Aye, I might as well enter the vampyre slaying community with how this cycle is turning out.

 

[premed1980]

At least this makes me feel better about hearing nothing with a 65 LizzyM :/

 

[pmcojm]

Is the surgery option for specifically general surgery?

Yes

 

[cptsam]

def feel like they are stratifying by LM's for now

 

[cptsam]

also how much did y'all write for the secondary? I wrote probs around 650 words for IM

 

[sc0rs]

Hello. Good luck everyone! Just commenting here really so it'll alert me when there's new posts! Sorry haha!

 

[pmcojm]

LizzyM of 73 or 74, and no love for me.

 

[NerdTheRaging]

LizzyM of 73 or 74, and no love for me.

Lol same boat as you, submitted my app Saturday afternoon. Oh well, this would have been too good to be true

 

[pmcojm]

I feel the same way.

 

[iamdoccc99]

Do you guys think if I'm registered to retake the MCAT in April/May they will still accept it.

 

[wesleysnipes]

Do you guys think if I'm registered to retake the MCAT in April/May they will still accept it.

no way

 

[iamdoccc99]

no way

Why not ? Its under extenuating circumstances tho

 

[Sharknad0]

Why not ? Its under extenuating circumstances tho

Because there's more than enough people applying who are in their deadline range.

 

[pmcojm]

No. Interview season is done by May 10.

 

[wesleysnipes]

you won't get your score back till may/june...

 

[cppsam]

Why not ? Its under extenuating circumstances tho

I have the same question if taking mcat first date in April..any shot they'll take it? would it hurt to apply?

 

[futuredoc.3]

I have the same question if taking mcat first date in April..any shot they'll take it? would it hurt to apply?

For this cycle (starting class July 2019), that mcat is too late

From their website:
"Latest acceptable Medical College Admissions Test® (MCAT®) exam score for 2019 application cycle January 24, 2019"

That mcat date would definitely be fine for the next cycle though (starting class July 2020)

II received today 3/20 for internal medicine- app submitted 3/16, MCAT 516, GPA 3.8. Wrote around 1000 words for the secondary app question. Remaining interview days were April 10-12 for me.

 

[teehee257]

II today! Applied surgery, LM 78, complete on 3/8.

 

[asdf_1234]

[TheeFuture]

Hey - for those that submitted updates, did you email or go through the portal? If through the portal, how?

through the portal

 

[1996-]

II today, LM70 complete march 4, internal medicine! dates avail apr 10-12

 

[Ex3]

Oh gosh, can't believe that I actually wrote 2500 words.

Based on the posts here, it seems that they interview 5 (?) days a week for 6 weeks, and probably 20 people a day.

Potentially 600 spots (!!!?) and still none for me.

Lmao where are these numbers from?

 

[sc0rs]

Did anyone get an interview yet who selected peds??

 

[premed1980]

Did anyone get an interview yet who selected peds??

Two previous posters (both with LizzyM 75) chose peds and got interviews 3/15 for dates Ar[il 1-5. It seems these may have been from an initial admissions office screen for high stats (?), and the committee from peds choosing interview candidates has yet to send out invites. This is my hope at least, having chosen peds with a lower LizzyM!
