2023-2024 NYU - Long Island Secondary Essay Prompts (400 words each response)

QUESTION 1

NYULISOM seeks to admit highly motivated candidates whose experiences and professional goals directly align with our primary care mission and demonstrate a commitment to a future career as a general practitioner in fields of medicine that are anchored in the principles of primary care and address the growing physician workforce shortages in specific medical disciplines.
To advance this mission, acceptance to NYULISOM is paired with the offer of a directed-pathway to residency into one of four designated residency programs at NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island.

• Internal Medicine
• Pediatrics
• Obstetrics & Gynecology
• General Surgery

Please indicate the specific residency track for which you wish to be considered and explain the reason(s) for your choice, including those experiences listed on your AMCAS application that have confirmed your decision to pursue this field of medicine in the context of primary care. If applicable, please also discuss any other factors –such as your personal journey, academic interests or activities not listed on your application— that have influenced your choice.

QUESTION 2
Please provide the response that applies to you:

• If you are still in school, please tell us your planned academic, extracurricular, research, community service and/or work activities for the application cycle.
• If you have graduated from college, please tell us what you have been doing since that time up until the present and your reasons for doing so. Please be sure to account for all your time since graduating.

QUESTION 3
(Optional) Please comment on any significant fluctuations in your academic record or inconsistencies in your MCAT score; if you took a leave of absence for any reason during college; or any application irregularities that you feel would be helpful for the admissions committee to consider when conducting its holistic review of your credentials.

QUESTION 4
(Optional) Please feel free to share any other information that you have not already included in your AMCAS application or secondary responses that you believe would be relevant for the admissions committee to know about.

Good luck to everyone applying!

Anybody else having trouble inputting their essays into the portal? Mine keeps showing a loading screen everytime I try to save an essay.

The word count limit for each entry is set to 400, but the initial instructions indicate a 350 word limit. Do you think we should still limit it to 350, even though the text boxes appear to accept 400 words?

I would go for 350. Also, did you essays save? I’m still having trouble having my essays being saved :/

Oh no, that's so odd. Mine are saving as of now!

 

[mental_banana8142]

For the activities question, are we supposed to be more objective and list things out? Or do we hone in on a certain part of our activities and write another narrative-like essay? (I'd prefer the former clearly lol)

 

[soonzany]

Anyone else having trouble saving progress for the first prompt?

Edit: Fixed, was able to save after changing "%" to percent. Seems that the system does not recognize symbols.

 

[gobills123]

Anyone else still waiting on a secondary?

 

[YodaPineapple]

Did you figure out how to fix this? Having trouble getting mine to save now as well.

+1 wanted to confirm I had the same problem with "%" symbol. Once I changed it, I was able to save it

Question: If I am interested in an IM subspecialty, should I be applying here and would it be advisable to write about that in the first essay? I'm not really sure if they count all IM subspecialties as being within their primary care mission... Would appreciate thoughts. Thanks!

personally, i'm writing specifically about primary care and my interests in urban/public health and health policy. it's a bit hard tbh to stretch that idea out, but i'm not gonna talk about specialties much.

 

[Debeney]

I did something similar, I am interested in hem/onc but didn't mention it as I know things could change as I'm exposed to subspecialties in med school. I didn't want to sound like I wasn't open to this exploration. Instead I wrote about my interests in continuing to work with underserved patients, focusing on equitable access to care, and how that aligns with my interest in pursuing internal medicine.

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

Did anyone see that they changed the word limit from 350 to 400? On the application, it says "All responses have a 400 word limit".

 

[wysdoc]

Ugh. Can another person confirm before I change the top post?

 

[aquamist]

Ugh. Can another person confirm before I change the top post?

Can confirm they've updated the word limit from 350 to 400. The text boxes have always allowed for 400 too, so I think they realized that their instructions were incorrect.

 

[aquamist]

I definitely did not struggle to trim everything down to 350 before going to the portal and realizing...

I did this exact same thing so I feel your pain 😭

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

Has anyone heard back from NYU LI?

 

[dotsquared]

Has anyone heard back from NYU LI?

Not me

 

[Rocky1976$]

Not me

Not me, but given how competitive this school is and how unreliable SDN is with true data… I’m not too sure how to gauge our chances are

 

[TheDono63rd]

It says on MSAR that they will start sending interview invites on Sept 1, 2023. I don't know if it is all at once or just a bunch over time. But all we can do is be patient...

 

[YodaPineapple]

Yeah this is really one of those "set it and forget it" type of schools. It's like betting the Jets to win the AFC east this season. If it happens, great. If not, I wasn't really expecting it to happen either.

 

[premadbaddie]

Are you guys using the optional Essay for a "Why NYU-LI essay?" I feel like it might be somewhat repetitive to what I already wrote but probably should do it, I'm just tired

 

[Trying_again]

Finished this secondary weeks ago but just got a reminder about it and realized I never pressed submit🫠 RIP to any slim chance I had here

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

It's still early, don't worry.

 

[Rocky1976$]

It's still early, don't worry.

Given how slow this secondary season was, when would you think it will be time to be worried about not getting an II

 

[simp4levi]

lmao given they accept 24 out of 10,000+ applications, what’s the point in worrying

 

[simp4levi]

They don't get 10,000+ applications. Last year they got 3994 primary apps.

lmao regardless their acceptance rate is 0.55% so i don’t see the point of worrying 🤣

 

[Pipi&Pomegranate]

lmao regardless their acceptance rate is 0.55% so i don’t see the point of worrying 🤣

plus their post interview offer rate is probably the LOWEST lol this is my lucky draw

 

[meg24869]
