[icazz]

for those who have interviewed, how did it go? I have had a semi bad experience with a previous MMI so I’m kind of nervous

 

[callmetweety]

What's up with the URM panel invite. Does everyone who in interviews get this? My bad if this has been addressed already

Seems like they give it to everyone post interview. Was WL and got it.

Did you get it before or after WL? And when did you get interview/decision?

Hoping for waitlist movement eventually

Hoping for waitlist movement eventually

Same. I wish they would move people off the waitlist during the actual cycle and not wait until May.

 

[mna148]

Interviewed 12/17, WL 1/13, accepted today 2/23!!! WL movement happening.

 

[deleted1057987]

Interviewed 12/17, WL 1/13, ACCEPTED TODAY!!!! WL movement happening.

Did you send a letter of intent?

 

[mna148]

Did you send a letter of intent?

Yes I did, but I sent it the day before I was WL. I waited too long after my interview to send it I think. I definitely recommend sending one.

 

[deleted1054798]

I dont understand this is my 4th waitlist from a Ny school being in the state. All my interviewers have given me positive reactions and so have those I have practiced with. Am I missing something? I just wish schools were more transparent and would let me know why so I can work on those weaknesses.

And this is why it’s a test of patience. Accepted today after WL

 

[medforlife12]

Accepted This Morning!! Still in Shock!! Was just waitlisted in January!

 

[deleted1057987]

All this WL movement has me hopeful 🥺

Has anyone who interviewed the week of feb 8th hear back?

Any current students here who can answer some questions? I wanted to have a better understanding of the curriculum and if attendance for class is mandatory or is everything recorded?

Per the 2020-2021 NYMC Catalog:

"Grading in pre-clerkship courses is Pass/ Fail.
Clerkships are graded Honors/High Pass/Pass/Fail."

From what I have heard, most lectures are recorded! Hope this helps

It is not mandatory to attend the lectures (which are also recorded and posted the same day), however, there are small group sessions/labs which you have to attend

Sorry if this has been answered before but can anyone tell me if NYMC considers taking the MCAT more than 2 times a red flag? The second time I took the MCAT one of my section scores dropped from 129 to 126 (total score increased by 1 point but was still slightly below NYMC median). But the third time my total score and individual scores all increased and were above median. Debating if I should bring this up when they ask the inevitable "do you have any red flags" question since most people don't take it three times.

From NYMC's website "Many applicants take the MCAT more than once. This is not considered a liability. We attach greatest importance to the most recent scores, although we will review the most recent last two sets of scores."

I wouldn't stress it too much, if you were invited to interview, they've seen the scores they like you. I don't think it would hurt to address it briefly, but no need to over-explain or sound neurotic about it. Perfectionism is not what they're looking for! Best of luck

Held since 2/25, looks like slim chances at this point for an II but who knows

 

[Achnologiast]

Is this school better than Albany?

 

[Talldoctor96]

Is this school better than Albany?

In what sense? They are both mid tier MD schools with similar match lists. But one is in westchester and one is in........ ALBANY lol

 

[medforlife12]

Is this school better than Albany?

Any US Medical School is good and a huge accomplishment! It is all about what you make of it and what you do in medical school that matters when residency comes up. Go wherever you liked the most; no need to overthink it.
