Your incoming class has a shorter orientation than the class of 2026 but essentially, they have presentations from different people, programs, and a tour of the buildings. We had our white coat ceremony during orientation week but that doesn't seem to be the case this year. You will however, get your iPad during orientation. I attached the orientation schedule we got for the class of 2026.
Absolute unit!
NYITCOM will send out a school equipment ordering form that will have all the medical equipment you listed plus a reflex hammer and tuning forks. You can buy cheaper alternatives but they have to be approved by the school. You do not need to buy a stethoscope. You will get a stethoscope with your name on it from the school (there is a stethoscope ceremony). You will get your white coat most likely during orientation. SCRUBS ARE A MUST. Set aside a cheap set for anatomy lab. The formaldehyde smell will linger and most people jut throw away their anatomy scrubs once anatomy lab is over. I recommend getting at least 4 pairs of scrubs. The school will give you your own set of scrubs with your name on it but they were given way later in the winter and the sizing of them wasn't really that great, so get your own for sure!
The color doesn't matter. No particular place to order them. Just make sure you have scrubs. Any kind of scrubs will do. There are cheap ones you can buy on Amazon for less than 25 dollars.
what form is this ??? I can't remember getting a form that asked about white coat measurements :/
maybe this is a NY campus thing ??? going to try and cross post this in the jonesboro campus thread to see if its just me that can't remember doing this.....
where do we send supplemental letters?
You will also get a pair of scrubs with your name on them from the school. Just a warning, the scrubs run big so make sure you are accurate with giving your measurements. The scrubs are also given much later in the semester so you need to buy scrubs for labs before starting medical school.
Now I wish I didn't order larger than my dimensions. I figured I would grow into them. 😢
The trafficking guidelines for MD schools now take effect, so you should start seeing WL movement by Monday, I would think.
LOL WL movement should start from next week to all the way in mid-May by mass!
Just request a regular transcript from the school to be sent to NYITCOM.
I can only comment on OW. The school has its list of hospitals at which you can do your 4th-year rotations. It's the same as the 3rd-year list. The problem is that most of these hospitals are community hospitals. During 4th year you ideally want to do your Sub-I's at university hospitals with residency programs so the school can't help you there. Also, community hospitals tend to not offer subspecialty rotations so if you want to do those rotations you also have to apply on your own. There are 8 rotation slots in 4th year, the school helped me get two of mine. I'll have to apply on VSLO for most of the rest. Speaking to other 3rd years this seems like a common theme.
are you talking OW campus or Jonesboro?
I believe you can apply during your second year for the academic medicine program. As for the other MS programs, I'm not as sure but you can always e-mail the academic affairs office and ask.
Anyone on the waitlist hear back?
Do you know why they pick certain applicants for that? I got an email for the MS/DO program almost a month after being waitlisted and I’m concerned that it’s their way of rejecting me for the fall 2023 class. I hope that’s not the case but I’d really appreciate if someone can explain it to me. Also, if they decided to reject me when would they do it? I’ve been on the waitlist since February and I hope they don’t tell me in July or August when it’s too late.
I thought that there was supposed to be some waitlist movement soon according to previous threads. Does that mean that those on the waitlist won’t be accepted? I’m asking because they said that waitlist movement is up until classes begin. I don’t know how the class being full affects those on the waitlist.
Can someone please clarify? I’m sweating out here
