This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is there a point in even reaching out to the admissions office at this point? Or just wait it out?
I think the only thing you can ask and get an answer is whether or not the class is full. Otherwise you’ll probably hit a wall. But if knowing that will make you feel better, go for it! 🙂

To be in compliance with NY state gov. Executive order. State of residence doesn’t matter.
Well, the state does matter. The executive order says that travelers cannot enter New York if they are coming from states with positive test rates higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% positive test rate. So when this was instituted last week, that included eight states. While that may change, I wouldn't say "state of residence doesn't matter." We did briefly discuss how AMC and other schools are likely to accommodate for any travel/quarantine issues.

The state doesn’t matter per AMC directives.

Edit: this is my last comment on the matter.

I apologize. I didn't know there was a directive from AMC. I thought you were basing it off of the executive order alone.

EDIT: I now see you are a medical student at AMC. So I doubly apologize because you have access to that kind of information.

Your questions were valid. Why apologize when he/she should have started with "per AMC directives" (which is what actually matters)? Medicine needs fewer people who behave in this manner.

Also, good luck ya'll!

Here’s a quote from my newspaper today. “Our society does not need more self righteousness that divides us.” Not every statement is perfectly crafted and you should not expect it to be.

Best of luck to you as well.
 
Recieved this from admissions this morning.

"We have no change in status for you at this time. Our ‘Commit to Enroll’ deadline was yesterday, so we hope to have the class finalized later this week. As always, we will accept from the alternate list as need to fill any remaining seats in the class."

Ahh and there goes my last little bit of hope 🙁
