In all previous years they've been providing iPads to us for taking exams on and general use. Laptop is your own prerogative.
Lol oh gawsh I sent an email night of 11/13 out of anxiety. Woke up feeling like I made a mistake.
Eh I’m sure it’s not a big deal in their eyes. Worst case they won’t reply and give you an eye roll but it won’t affect your app
I think it depends on the interviewer. Mine was equally personal questions and ethics questions- “what would you do in this situation?”
Definitely depends on the interviewer! Mine was extremely conversational. They only somewhat ethical question I was asked was about physician character
Congrats, i live kinda local to OW, about 45 mins out. Rent anywhere near campus it insane, 2k plus for a studio in an apartment building. It actually looks like commuting from queens would be cheaper. I think these prices are largely based on people leaving the vity because of covid, and they will hopefully drop a little.Hey everyone! I am a big time lurker on this website and this is my first time posting so be gentle haha! I recently got the A for the OW campus, and want to say congrats to everyone accepted to JB and OW!! (For those who would want to know, I interviewed 10/8, 505 MCAT). I wanted to reach out and ask for some help with housing/campus. Does anyone know if there will be tours/open houses anytime soon? Second, I'm from upstate and am trying to look around for apartments for me, my SO, and my german shepherd. Recommendations on the area would be greatly appreciated!! thanks friends
In my limited experience this cycle it seems places I reached out too responded positively to inquiries. I think it shows you’re genuinely interested in their school and not just shooting from the hip.
I think based on previous years they announce a closure to the interview cycle at some point (likely when the class and waitlist are filled). Not sure if that is the signal for rejections, or if they send out individual ones. As long as they are still interviewing, I wouldn't give up. Even if just for waitlist spots early next year, there seems to be historical movement.
Mine seemed closed but my interviewer didn’t say for sure. I said basically the same thing as my secondary for why I chose Jonesboro and got accepted so I think you’re good there!
Mine was definitely open since my interviewer mentioned what I wrote in the secondary and confirmed the fact with me. She asked me to elaborate on it.
What did you end up saying? I've been playing with the idea of sending another email expressing my interests but I don't know how else to word it at this point lol. My interview was 9/18 and I haven't heard anything :/ kinda losing hope..
Thank you for letting me know!
Hello NYITCOM Admissions,
I wore a shirt and tie and got an acceptance so, take with that what you will.
I dont know if anyone will really be able to answer this. I think this year they changed the curriculum so that there is only one track, no more LBD and DPC tracks. With the pandemic students have not been comming to school as they normally would.
If you really want to see what is going on weekly, if you go on the nyitcom website, go to the student resources section and click the AKILA link, you can see what each year is doing each day. From what I can see, it seems the class is broken into groups and each group is doing different things.
It's Pass/Fail/Honors. If you get > 70% then you pass the exam. If you are top 10% for the exam then you get Honors.
complete since 6/30 and haven't heard anything back either if it makes you feel better lmaoI have been complete since end of September and I still didn’t hear back
If it’s a competition then I think I got ya beat. Complete 6/24 and haven’t heard anything. Sorry to flex on you like tnat
I think that refers to the immense burden higher education institutions have had on them with COVID-19. Your research mentors might be thinking of this article and one similar one in the New York Times. I personally don't think medical schools, especially well established ones like NYIT (and other osteopathic schools that generally make up the "top 5"), will shut down especially as we approach the end of the pandemic next year. Obviously I am just a stranger and random student on the internet who has had no experience learning about the economy so make of that what you will lol.
The earliest you will hear back is the middle of december, if you interview in late november it can be less than a month
Hey, congrats on your interview! I also interviewed this week - hopefully we hear back soon-ish. I’m thinking that the holidays might put a kink in things and cause a delay, but we’ll see. I’ve also been wondering what the post-II acceptance rate looks like, if anyone can chime in.
I didn't even factor in the holidays. Good point. My nerves are going to be a wreck.
Also interviewed this week. Did you feel like the interview was over too fast? I felt like I introduced myself and before I knew it, we were like 5 mins over lol.
Interviewed this week also, I'm hoping we hear back like the week of December 11th
