Does anyone know for surgery, since it's primary care related, are they meaning that they would want you to stay in general surgery after residency, or can you talk about wanting to specialize after general surgery residency??

Do you think applying to NYU LI would affect applications to NYU langone? Do the committees talk/figure out which one will accept you so you don't have 2 from NYU?

No, they’re completely separate schools, with completely different dean’s, with completely different admissions Committee’s

I just got my secondary, and I'm confused. My interpretation was that the early conditional residency application is optional, but it doesn't look that way on the secondary.

I'm pretty confident I want to go into primary care, but I'm not sure I want to make a binding commitment to a specific residency right now. Did I just waste my money applying?

I don't think it's binding cause it says, "may also be offered a conditionally guaranteed position in one of our linked ACGME-accredited residencies. "
But then again, I'm not too sure

So if you are accepted, then you may be selected for the guaranteed residency, which you can still decline. Right?

But it's still a mandatory question on the secondary. I'm unsure how to answer the question, and I wonder if a lack of certainty about this would indicate that this school is not a "fit" for me.

I’m sure you can come up with a good answer. Tie in the importance of primary care. If you’re not interested in primary care it isn’t a good fit though.

This is a 3 year medical school which does not give you a choice of preparing for specialties outside of the residencies they plan to offer. I would think you can be in any of the primary residencies but wouldn't be able to apply to things like dermatology because you changed your mind.

I'm quite interested in geriatrics, which is generally considered part of primary care, but that's not one of the choices available in the question. Would it be possible to to apply to it if I went there?

As far as I know Geriatrics is a fellowship that comes after internal or family medicine.

to go into geriatrics, you'd have to do IM -> fellowship in geriatrics or FM -> fellowship in geriatrics so you're good if you select IM
 
Are the optional essay questions actually optional? Or are they variations of the typical "overcoming a challenge" and "explain any academic irregularities" prompts?
 
Does anyone know how early you can start research here? I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere on the site
 
I looked on MSAR and did not see stats for average/median GPA and MCAT from last year's cycle. If anyone knows this information- please share. Thanks!

Because it's a new school and MSAR only has data from two cycles ago and before.
 
so basically I applied to a top tier school without knowing that it was a top tier school.. LOL! welp gg.
 
I am stuck between IM and Peds. If I pick one or the other, can I switch once I get there?
