Did NYMC increase their class size? New MSAR data shows that 2022-23 had 220 first year matriculated students. Didn’t it usually have ~214?

 

[Doctazmic]

Has anyone received any new interviews or rejections?

 

[pacesmom101]

Any current students willing to talk about their experiences as an M1/M2 in terms of mandatory lectures, exam frequency, internal rank, etc? thanks 🙂

Damn 220 students. That's a huge class.

M2 here! We were the first year that went through the new systems-based curriculum, so there have been a couple changes made for the current M1s but they're pretty minor from what I hear.

Our curriculum starts with anatomy, biochem, immuno/micro before getting into organ systems. Anatomy lab is mandatory 2X-4X 2 hours a week, and there are some mandatory small group session where you learn histology and physical exam skills as well. However, as far as lectures go, the vast majority are not mandatory. We might have two or so a month when there are guest speakers or a department chair.

The amount of mandatory activities have decreased from M1 to M2 year, and you can pretty much choose to do whatever you want with your time. There's usually a 2 hour mandatory session every week with clinicians and imo are a nice way to make sure I'm keeping up with the material and review it in a clinical lens. Some other small group activities still exist so I'd say ~15 hours every month are mandatory events in M2 year.

During anatomy season, exams (+ anatomy practicals) were every 2-3 weeks which felt intense, but after that exams have been every 3-6 weeks depending on how long we spend in that organ system. Clinical OSCEs are roughly every other month.

Yes there's an internal rank and there are ways of calculating where you are before the school discloses it. Although in theory there's no difference between letter grades and p/f with internal ranking, it psychologically helps me. I feel a lot less pressure because at the end of the day all I see on my official transcript is that big P.

Because of our larger class, it's a bit harder to "stand out," but faculty are really nice and willing to chat (especially if you're one of the few that still go to lecture in-person). Everyone kinda does their own thing depending on what specialty they're interested in. Although there are definitely students that are pursuing competitive specialties that have to try very hard, it doesn't feel like a gunner-y environment. We share resources with each other and most people are pretty chill from what I've seen. There's also a student senate who are awesome and are great at advocating to admin on behalf of our class.

Hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything you want me to elaborate on.

Are interviews done at this point?

Are interviews done at this point?

I think NYMC’s last interview date is typically around mid-late March, so their interview season is most likely over.

For those of you who sent update letters, LOI, etc, did you address it to the NYMC office of admissions or to a specific person in the office?

I called the admissions office before sending my LOI and they told me to address it to the admissions committee and send to MDADMIT email

Thanks! Did you address your LOI as "New York Medical College Admissions Committee"? And did you get a confirmation email from their office after submitting it?

Also wondering this-- it says interview season ends in March so I'd assume so-- but also why not just send out automated responses or something... the not knowing for sure hurts my chest v.v

 

[premed155180]

have any accepted students here gotten financial aid and/or merit aid yet?

[_CaptainKaladin_]

Was this the last round of decisions before WL movement starts? Or are there still people who haven’t heard back yet?

 

[UtahNative123]

OOS waitlist this morning

 

[lovely2025]

does anyone know how much waitlist movement they usually have? there seemed to be quite a bit in last years thread but i’m not sure

 

[soccercity15]

[swaggymd]

IS WL

 

[_CaptainKaladin_]

Says online that they typically pull ~50 off the WL every year, which is a very good amount.

 

[wednesdaysg]

OOS A!

WL stats is available here, they have ~250 wl spots and pull 50 off the list

https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7056/download

WL stats is available here, they have ~250 wl spots and pull 50 off the list

And I believe the 250 WL spots is the total given out over the whole cycle, not the amount of WLs at the time that WL movement starts. Which in that case, the amount of people getting the A off the waitlist would be higher than 20% because people withdraw from WLs throughout the cycle.

this, also not everyone who is offered a spot off the waitlist will accept it.
Keep in mind that people who applied to NYMC likely also applied to other schools in the nyc area.
Being that NYMC likely accepts those with higher stats (as their MSAR mcat and gpa have spiked recently), a lot of those accepted or on the WL may also be accepted to other NYC schools.
And although NYMC is a great school, nobody is choosing it over NYU and Einstein free tuition, or Colombia Cornell and Sinai which are all considered top top schools.
So keep your hopes up!
