2020-2021 New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM-Jonesboro)

[aravaggio]

For anyone that has been accepted and plans on accepting, is there any information about finding housing/roommates?

Not yet, there is a GroupMe for the Jonesboro campus but that’s it. I’m assuming people are going to wait till around March to start making pho using arrangements

Nope. Is it expected to start this month?

I’m not sure to be honest

I’m not sure to be honest

I have a feeling it's March but I could be wrong. I believe they start taking off the WL after interviews are done

Yes

 

[solotravelingpremed]

Would it be too late to apply here? OOS, no connections. Originally had intended to apply here but just have to narrow my options.

 

[Almosthere771]

Yes

anything specific I should say? like "I'm just wondering about an update for my application?"

Yea something like that

My wife interviewed here today. Any idea of when she should expect to hear back?

My wife interviewed here today. Any idea of when she should expect to hear back?

The wait seems to range from 1-2 months (ref. this thread), but I would guess that the wait time will lessen as interview season winds down. Who really knows with COVID affecting boards/applicants, though. I am in the same "waiting boat"--interviewed yesterday Best of luck to your wife!

I had my interview today. I asked when we might expect to hear of any movement or decisions and she said within two weeks!

That’s great news!! Thanks for sharing!

That’s exciting. But are you sure they just weren’t talking about your decision? Would be surprised to see WL movement within 2 weeks

 

[OiaSanto]

What kind of questions were you asked?

A difficult time when I had to say no to something, proudest achievement, why DO, of course, and a time when things didn’t go as planned, oh and what I liked about the town/campus. Honestly I’m glad someone told me these were likely the questions because they would have been harder to come up with on the spot .... if I think of more I’ll let you know

Do you know if they are full/ close to full?

 

[TheC27]

Do you know if they are full/ close to full?

Im not sure. This is my top choice and I hope to hear

 

[Wallywarus]

Im not sure. This is my top choice and I hope to hear

Out of curiosity, what makes it your top choice?

 

[TheC27]

Out of curiosity, what makes it your top choice?

The atmosphere, match rate, COMPLEX scores, and what ive heard

 

[Future_Doc_M]

The atmosphere, match rate, COMPLEX scores, and what ive heard

Agreed! The small town atmosphere with big city connections is invaluable. The Student Ambassadors also did a great job capturing the uniqueness that is NYITCOMAR and my interviewer was very passionate about osteopathic medicine/ what the school had to offer. Not to mention, the location is incredible for my family. This school has it all.

The atmosphere, match rate, COMPLEX scores, and what ive heard

Do you know the COMLEX scores for just NYIT-AR? I’m just curious and couldn’t find them on the website.

I think they put the Ar with Li together and they perform well

Best advice that was given to me was to be myself and seek information instead of trying to make an impression. This is a big decision and needs to fit mutually. Best of luck!

Someone said some good topics to look at on here recently

OH!!! And they asked what character and integrity means to me in respect to the patient-doctor relationship! This was the last one and I feel like she was listening most intently to this so maybe brush up on your thoughts of this.

[turtle2019]

Hi, has anyone itnerviewed in the Fall (2020) and not heard back yet? As it, not even a waitlist? Thank you

 

[Future_Doc_M]

ACCEPTED!!!!!!! See y’all in the Fall!

 

[TheC27]

Has anyone from the WL heard?

 

[premed0516]

Has anyone from the WL heard?

Most likely April/may

 

[TheC27]

Most likely April/may

What makes you think that?

 

[premed0516]

What makes you think that?

Previous years, and those dates are when most MD deadlines will happen and when you narrow down your A’s. Also interviews will have stopped so they won’t have an interviewees to accept only waitlist if they need more students.

 

[OiaSanto]

ACCEPTED!!!!!!! See y’all in the Fall!

Congrats to you!!! When did you interview? And did they call or email?

 

[turtle2019]

Has anyone from the WL heard?

Send them updates, it helps a lot if you show interest. I interviewed in fall 2020, and only recently got accepted. I emailed them almost every month with updates

What exactly did you update them on? Did you have new experiences/ activities every month?
