I got mine exactly 6 weeks after my interview. During my interview, they told us we'd hear back 4-6 weeks after our interview date. Given, that was September so maybe things have changed by now. Sending you good vibes though. Waiting is so hard.
I interviewed two weeks before you and heard about two weeks ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the holidays delay it a bit though!
no
I believe the school accepts update letters if you have been interviewed and made that first post-II cut. The email I received says to submit an update to the other documents tab on the secondary portal.
Where did y'all see this? Did you get this in the email that said you made the first post-II cut? I don't remember them saying anything regarding this on my interview day or in any of my post-interview correspondences they sent out.
yep, it was in the post II email telling me I made the cut into the top pool of applicants for final consideration. on my interview day, the dean also said they appreciate continued interest as well
+1 can confirm that the final pool email says that updates are allowed. Not sure if this is specifically directed to people who are in the final pool.
No clue. I have a feeling they can't admit much more than 24 students given the strict quotas on each specialty. I am sure that there will be some type of waitlist from which they will pull heavily.
Is always 24 is part of their model since it is tied to residency spots availability at NYU LI hospital!
Got bodied around thanksgiving lol and haven't heard back. Assuming we probs have to sit tight for a while!
you're prob gonna hear back post feb? they make decisions then
I personally don't think that they've cut their interview pool down by a lot, given how many people have reported making the cut on this thread. I frankly have no clue how they choose 2-14 people per specialty from potentially hundreds of people in the final pool. Sorry that this isn't super reassuring news 🙁
+1. Interviewed 11/12. Probably from an 8% chance of getting in to a 20% chance? Who knows. I think the most you can read into this decision is that your interviewing skills are solid.
Those who are not a part of the final pool reported receiving an email telling them this, so if you haven't heard anything, I don't think a decision has been rendered. Maybe they are taking more time because of the Thanksgiving holiday. I know the wait feels awful so I am sending you strength. I personally thought I was done for but I got an email saying that I made the final pool on the final day of the six week period... manifesting this for you.
+1, maybe they just didn’t get to the 11/10 interviewees yet..? Holding out hope lol
On okay got it so they do update. Thank you so much for the clarification 🙂
Congrats! The "final pool of applicants" email is a post-interview communication
Thank you! Very excited. If anyone has any insight into MMI I would appreciate it - happy new year to you all
Congrats on the interview! We cannot disclose the details of the MMI cos we signed an NDA basically haha. But I can assure you that the experience is a lot less stressful than you imagine, including the group activity. I definitely had a positive experience overall, so just go in ready to be yourself.
I see! That makes sense. I look forward to navigating through the experience. Thanks! Good luck to you.
The MMI itself was pretty standard and all the interviewers were very engaging and kind. The group activity was the most chill one I've ever been in - some schools have group activities that are discussions or similar activities that can feel stressful but it was very chill.
Nope :/
Damn they are still interviewing? This applicant pool is big 😆
Thanks! I actually interviewed back in September haha but I know they are doing interviews until January from their website.
They didn't tell us this, but I also interviewed wayyy back in September. But based on how many people are reporting it here, I'd say it's pretty dang big.
Think a few people didn't make the final pool of applicants post-interview but that's probably a minority
Also another update—I just checked their Twitter, and it seems last Friday was the last interview day of the cycle so it seems they are ending much earlier than last year (although last year could have been delayed)!
Yes! Last year was 100% delayed, they gave out the first round of decisions in mid-March, while they told us we'd hear back in mid-Feb. at least there is only one month left of this
Haha only cuz you have really helpful posts!! I appreciate them 😊
Yeah, I really have no clue how you can pick 24 students from such a large pool. Especially for the smaller specialties (obgyn gang rise up) like how do you pick 2 people from a group of 100? Just gotta hope that everyone who gets accepted first has amazing full tuition scholarship offers at other schools and opens up our seats lmao
Some people did report these earlier in the thread! As widely discussed, no idea how many (and this is the first year of the 'final pool'). I'd say R reporting is generally lower than positive news reporting though. Hoping for an update email soon like beepbeep mentioned!
