2018-2019 NYU School of Medicine

[friendly_premed]

Got a post interview R from NYU. To be honest though I really liked nothing about this school except the free tuition. My impression of it was that although it is ranked #3, residency directors do not consider it among the likes of Harvard, Stanford, UCSF, Columbia, Cornell etc. At this point it doesn't really matter, but I have a few other friends that interviewed and said that they wanted to use the FA package to get a match at other schools. What do other people think?

When did u interview?

[bill2018]

Just to clarify, none of these rejections are post-interview yet, right?

 

[dnsf]

2 of them were apparently

 

[dnsf]

What do we think the post-interview acceptance rate is going to look like this year?

If they interview as many people as they usually do, I expect around 10% to 15%

 

[theKingLT]

They will interview almost 1000 so yes that's about right

 

[dnsf]

If it really will be 1000, which I think is ridiculous given that they will only accept at most 100 people, the number is definitely closer to 10%.

Hmmm...well it seems like most of us post II still havent heard anything back right? Only 2 post II Rs so far? Surely there are more coming, unless the rest of us are in that "hold" stage

 

[Flower_rain]

Rejected pre-II, complete September 12.

It's tough to know the distributions.. Could be that a ton of people were rejected post II yesterday and didn't post about it, or that those decisions are coming out in a slow trickle just like the As.

ugh i want them just rip the bandaid already

 

[wow101med]

Put on hold yesterday. Canadian applicant. LM 75

 

[art2018]

Do you guys think everyone pre-II get a continued review or rejection email? Cause if everyone got a status update, then I'm thinking it might not actually be a hold, but truly a "we're still reviewing you" email

 

[catnip12]

Pre II R yesterday.

 

[Hawkenthesky]

I have no actual evidence for this but I think they probably did update everyone, based on the wording of the emails.

I didn't get any email yesterday (hold, R, II) so I currently don't have a status other than complete. I was complete late august, which is earlier than many others in this thread. Maybe I'm getting one in the next batch of rejections next week? I really don't see myself getting an interview invite here tbh, so maybe they just haven't looked at some apps yet.

Anyone else here not hear anything back from NYU yet?

They are going to accept way more than 100. The final class will be 100, but they’ll probably have to accept 200-300 to get a yield of 100.

From what people reported about interview day here they don't seem to think so. I've heard a few people say they plan to accept around 100 for a class of 94 I think? And then pull from the wait list as needed. I think that's ridiculous though since I highly doubt they'll have that high of a yield. Lerner also has free tuition and they accept double their class size and still end up pulling from the wait list. I don't know how the extra year and being in Cleveland affects that over the 4 years in new York though so maybe they're trying to play it safe for the first year?

Agreed. It will definitely end up being well over 100 after people start dropping their accepts but it's just hard to say at this point what their yield will be so they have to play it safe

Accepting 100 and then pulling from the waitlist just means they are going to accept more than 100 lol. An accept is an accept. It makes sense that they are playing it by ear with the change in tuition policy + the change in traffic rules. So it’s perfectly sensible, but that waitlist is going to be pretty deep I think. So people who might be waitlisted have good reason to keep up their hopes imo!

That makes sense, I was just referring to the initial acceptances. The thing that sucks about the wait list is you have no clue where you are on it and if it's gonna be deep this year it's just gonna be even worse.

 

[Dr_Yankee]

On my interview day, they mentioned they will be accepting around 92 students only. 10 more will be accepted for md/PhD for a class of 102. They said because they don't know what the yield will be they will only be accepting 92 total and then accepting from the waitlist as needed. He asked those who would be accepted to make their decisions quickly so that they could inform others quickly.

 

[jj_Sharp2]

Are we still in the dark with respect to SDNers who have gotten accepted from NYU?? Still nobody?

 

[uconn19]

Post-II Rejected, good luck everyone else

 

[dodolol21]

just now??

 

[dnsf]

Post-II Rejected, good luck everyone else

I’m sorry, friend.

 

[arabet]

Don't schools normally accept many more students than the ones they eventually matriculate?

They do, but I imagine they're trying to be cautious about over admitting. It's not hard to pull from the waitlist as spots open up

 

[stickflip723]

Post-II Rejected, good luck everyone else

I'm sorry :/ was it by email?

 

[uconn19]

It was by email on Friday

 

[Twinkle786]

It was by email on Friday

Feel it coming for the rest of us too :/

 

[Rachapkis]

Feel it coming for the rest of us too :/

Anyone who was invited to interview at NYU should feel proud of themselves. Keep thinking good thoughts. After all, even the most competitive medical schools have to admit someone (and it might as well be you).

 

[blanket_wistful]

Has anyone who received a "hold through November" email sent an update and subsequently received an II?

 

[swali]

Has anyone who received a "hold through November" email sent an update and subsequently received an II?

[Arrp213]

I'm sorry to hear when did you interview?

 

[smileygal19]

Nope :/

 

[here2help]

Anyone know the area code that Dean Rivera will call you from if you get accepted?

 

[bill2018]

Anyone know the area code that Dean Rivera will call you from if you get accepted?

I imagine 212? Did you get a call???

 

[here2help]

I imagine 212? Did you get a call???

No, I interviewed pretty recently so no news yet. I was just curious though

 

[gu5andr3]

I imagine 212? Did you get a call???

I got two phone calls and an inaudible voice-mail from this area code on Monday. Almost had a heart attack. Called back and to my disappointment it was just a very dedicated telemarketer, lmfao.
