Applying to Med School? Get In Or Your Money Back
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
does anyone know to what extent it reflects poorly on an applicant not to speak in the information session? my interview i think went really well but i just felt like speaking during the info session or asking questions not only made me very anxious but was rare among participants in my group. it was just a few very vocal applicants going back and forth with the current students. i hope its not a huge red flag. it certainly didnt seem like a big deal.... thoughts?

I’m I sure hope not. I couldn’t make mine due to work but I interviewed there last year so hoping it doesn’t reflect bad on me :(

I couldn’t do the information session either
I also hope it won’t effect me that much
 
It won't, the info session is completely optional, but highly recommended

Do acceptances come via phone call or email? Is anyone aware? Sorry if this has been answered already!
 
welp, I just had my interview and I think I totally messed up one question - but he was very nice and it was super conversational, especially at the end. yay! it was my first one!
 
During our info session they said they send an email at the end of the week, I didn’t receive one? Did anyone get an email

Last year I submitted secondary around mid February and I got an interview around Mid April. To be fair, I did get waitlisted and never got an A, but I definitely think you could at least get an interview depending on your stats

So for the "different backgrounds" question on the secondary, can like, different professional backgrounds count?

Like @NateGentry12 said, I don't think it would be! Not to mention things have been kind of weird this year with the pandemic, and I (hope) schools will be empathetic to people getting things in late this year.

this is good to know. I do have higher stats than their avg, so hopefully I will be okay. Thanks
 
does anyone know if the school accepts pre-II nonacademic updates?

I think it can as along as it shows a pervious experience/ life that is different from yours. Could be from a different set of belief, race, culture ,education......
 
I've seen a lot of people struggle with the diversity question, they seem to think it only applies to race. What it actually applies to is experiences and activities that make you stand out, and make you unique when compared to others.

Hi! I sent in some early applications this cycle, and am thinking about sending in a second round of apps.. is it too late to apply? If anyone has any insight on my chances, any advice is appreciated! I have a LizzyM score of 62.5, strong extracurriculars, and letters from 2 MDs & professors that should be strong. Any advice? I am an OOS application (from NC). Thanks!
 
Does anyone know about the Arkansas campus? I interviewed October and waiting to hear back. Mcat is below 500 but I do have some strong ECs, research , and letters including one from a. DO. Was a pretty early interview so was just wondering if anyone had any insight

My chances of getting an A lol I think the interview was fine. Straightforward questions.

From what I’ve read they have a pretty high Post II acceptance rate. So if you’ve been given an interview your chances are good. We should be hearing back mid November

I've been complete since like late July and haven't heard anything. I did retake the MCAT in September though. Is anyone else on the same boat?

I have a 498 MCAT and they accepted me in the first batch of acceptances. 3.57 cGPA, 3.60 sGPA, 3.90 grad GPA. I am from Arkansas though, so probably had something to do with it.

I’ve been complete since mid June and haven’t heard anything. Didn’t retake later or anything so they’ve had all my stuff since mid June

Same. Idk if this means we are basically out of the race or do you think we still have a shot?

I’d say we still have a shot. I’ve seen schools I’ve applied to give IIs to people who applied around the same time as me in the past week or two. So at this point in the process I’d still be hopeful until I get an official R

Just fyi, to maybe give everyone some peace of mind, if you don't hear anything from NYTICOM, it is NOT a silent R. They will continue to reassess applications throughout the cycle, every four weeks. Do not worry if you haven't heard anything since the interview, it means you're still in the running for a spot!

I’ve been complete since June but retook the MCAT 7/31. I sent NYIT an update when the score came out mid-August, and they confirmed receipt of the update. Haven’t heard anything since. 3.69 cGPA, 3.80 sGPA, MCAT 499 —> 510. Legacy.

Is the interview blind or does the interviewer have access to your primary + secondary and ask questions from both pieces of your application? Sorry if this has been answered already!

I interviewed for NYITCOM OW location and my interviewer had access to my secondary but not my primary. I'm not sure if she knew my stats or not. Good luck!

My interview experience wasn't perfect
Do you think I should send an update letter and a letter of interest, with an apology for the issues I had communicating with the interviewer?

How do you feel your interview went? And was it Arkansas campus

Yes, Arkansas. My interview went really well. I was hopeful for an October acceptance, but I didn’t get one. I’m really hoping to hear back this month.

Decent GPA and MCAT

Anyone else for sure going to the NYITCOM Jonesboro? I’d love to get in touch with the class of 2021 and maybe even plan for a social next year before classes start.

What day of the week did the last round of acceptances come out (Jonesboro campus)? Trying to figure out when we should expect potential acceptances for those of us who interviewed in mid October :)
