Thank you 🥹Withdrew from WL hope it helps out one of u
There's a decent number of TVs throughout the room but not 1:1 with tables. A professor will perform OMM in the front with a camera on them that gets broadcasted to all the TVs and a big projection board in the front. Usually, then your pod leader will go over the technique either right in front of you or on you. Not being able to see isn't a problem. Compared to other DO schools, NYITCOM teaches OMM really well and takes it very seriously. It comes up a lot in the exam questions either directly on indirectly. But they don't have it take up a large amount of time. In my first year, it was 2 hours every other week, and second year 2 hours every week (COVID precautions might have contributed). There are videos that they post before the lab that you are expected to watch beforehand. Students usually bring with them their ipads with the videos or PowerPoint for the given lab.
Yes. You will have to take your exams on it.
Most live with family or with other students usually throughout Nassau or Queens. The campus was on lockdown during most of my preclinical but there are carrel desks in the medical library. I, and most people, just studied at home though.
The curriculum might have changed but for my year first semester was basic sciences. Roughly: anatomy, OMM, doctor-patient relationship, biochem, genetics, micro, histology, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and immunology.
From what I read online, it is recommended that you submit only one LOI. A LOI does help though. It tells them that this is your #1 pick and you are serious about going.
Thank you!Withdrew from WL hope it helps someone out !!
Not yet! Still waiting to hear back.
I am not 100% sure, but I believe the bridge program with the option of guaranteed admission to the med school is via the invite.
Same, hopefully we hear back soon
Do you know how full the class is? Also how many people are in the Long Island class?
It is completely full minus however many people withdraw their A. It was an OW seat that opened.
I think they have a "scoring criteria" to determine whether someone gets an A or a WL. I've seen online that medical programs do something like this after interviews to fill their class. Though NYITCOM does not formally grade its WL, it probably consults the scores of each candidate and interviewer input to determine who gets accepted next. This is all purely speculative, so you can only take it with a grain of salt.
I’m assuming maybe this Thursday. I sent an email to someone Tuesday from admissions to show continued interest and she said she’d be back this Tuesday. I honestly think that why we didn’t hear anything on Thursday.
When did they start accepting people this week? As far as we know there was a wave of acceptances 5/11. I figured they’d start accepting people this Thursday.
It’s different for every school
I thought you were talking about the OW campus
The bridge program is only offered through email! You can’t apply for it yourself. Usually applicants who get the bridge email are qualified applicants that the school wants to accept but with WL it’s never guaranteed so they offer the bridge program to guarantee acceptance!
I think they are done offering spots, but I still haven't heard back after applying for it in April. Has anyone else?
I also applied in April and am still waiting to hear back. They did say we will hear back in May so hopefully any day now!
