There appear to be rumors circulating online that some programs have capitalized on the extended AACOMAS deadlines to not only interview and waitlist students late this cycle...but might be taking super-qualified applicants who applied early for the 2025-2026 cycle and asking them if they want to join the class of 2029 instead.

No news of this school doing such a thing, but it could be a huge reason for the lack of waitlist movement at said med schools, and causing a ripple effect here.

Now if this is true (remaining skeptical), personally, I think it's downright dishonest and shameful for a school to do :/

I read numerous posts on Reddit about this practice but I didn’t see NYITCOM on the list of schools doing this.

Nassau County is one of the best places to live in New York.

 

[medislife0513]

True, but does the cost of attendance allow for rent this high? From what I see on the website, the COA estimates appx 1500 a month? Is it that everyone has roommates? Im worried now if I get off, will I find a place to live? UGH this si so stressful, I just try to remind myself its good stress about the future.

• The Cost of Attendance (COA) limits how much you can borrow through federal loans, but it does not restrict what you choose to pay from your own savings, income, or family support.
• As long as you don’t request additional loan money for the $2,000/month rent, financial aid won’t stop you from spending more than the budgeted $1,500/month.

$2000 was just a number I was estimating if it’s more than $1500

Did anyone hear back or receive an email yet? 😭🙏

No

 

[medislife0513]

Just forget about today I hope it’s this week Because if they won’t send email this week like they said then don’t even call them anymore knowing this is all cap

 

[rvd]

Just received the email about continued interest! hopefully we get good news soon!

 

[medislife0513]

Just got the waitlist email

 

[Tiredandcaffeinated]

got the "are you interested in the waitlist" Email

 

[wonglife5]

Can’t believe it took a whole month longer than last year’s cycle to get the “continued interest WL” email 😐

 

[Sever2727]

I submitted my response but now I feel like I have the wrong ACCOMAS ID

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

Woke up to the email! Hopefully we hear back with good news!

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

I submitted my response but now I feel like I have the wrong ACCOMAS ID

I had to double check it like 10 times even the spelling of my name just to be sure

 

[Sever2727]

Should I submit again idk

 

[medislife0513]

Should I submit again idk

LMFOA THATS WHAT I WAS THIBKING

 

[Tiredandcaffeinated]

So the deadline to answer is Sunday, I hope this means that we hear back towards the end of next week, but I don't know if that is wishful thinking.

 

[Tiredandcaffeinated]

Did anyone get confirmation that their response was submitted?

 

[medislife0513]

Did anyone get confirmation that their response was submitted?

No not yet

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

Did anyone get confirmation that their response was submitted?

Nope not yet. If I remember correctly, when I first confirmed my WL spot they sent it the following day.

 

[medislife0513]

Yes that’s true

 

[Tiredandcaffeinated]

Guys I'm praying for us. Even though I like my other school, I just cant let go of staying in NYC.

 

[medislife0513]

Yes that’s true

Let’s cross our fingers that movement starts next week because I can’t afford waiting until July cuz of the other school starting

 

[Sever2727]

They said submission confirmation will come in three business days

 

[medislife0513]

They said submission confirmation will come in three business days

Within three business days let’s hope before so that they start waitlist movement already

 

[PlzletagirlbeaDR]

I hope they do waitlist movement this week, so it can have a cascading effect on other waitlists 😭

 

[medislife0513]

I hope they do waitlist movement this week, so it can have a cascading effect on other waitlists 😭

Oh yeah true but idk if it will start before that confirmation email

 

[CarbGoblin]

Maybe actual movement this week is doubtful but maybe early next week? At least this is something, crazy I havent heard a single peep from this school in like 4-5 months until today.......

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

I dont think movement will start until next week because they're giving us 3 days to respond to the continued interest email. So earliest I think might be end of next week. But fingers crossed for good news🤞

 

[medislife0513]

It's so weird that there's almost no WL movement at this time for other schools too, I've been WL for 3 schools and its almost the end of June😭

I’ve been waitlisted for 5 schools

 

[medislife0513]

This is what I’m worried about I hope most of us get off the waitlist by end of next week because we are on crunch time with others schools timeline

 

[EnnoMotiZ]

I’ve been waitlisted for 5 schools

fingers crossed for all of us, weird cycle, hope to hear back soon

 

[medislife0513]

They really waited until June 13 primary application deadline to send us the waitlist email interest

 

[Sever2727]

I can’t stop stressing on if I put the correct AACOMAS ID

 

[medislife0513]

I can’t stop stressing on if I put the correct AACOMAS ID

Go to your aacomss ID email with your ID and submit the form again like me I submitted it twice

 

[Sever2727]

Won’t they get mad if you do that?

 

[greedyfisherman411]

This is what I’m worried about I hope most of us get off the waitlist by end of next week because we are on crunch time with others schools timeline

Last year movement started 2 days after the waitlist interest email so hopefully early next week

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

Won’t they get mad if you do that?

Since we submitted the form more or less around the same time. If I hear back with the confirmation ill come and comment here because you should receive one too. If not I would then email admin to make sure you submitted it correctly? Or email now?

 

[medislife0513]

Won’t they get mad if you do that?

Let’s hope not

 

[Auto618]

Is it a bad sign that I did not get the confirmation email this morning?

 

[ErenYeagerLovesTrees]

We're in the endgame now guys. God willingly all of us get in these next few weeks!

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

Is it a bad sign that I did not get the confirmation email this morning?

Were you previously put on the waitlist? Maybe check spam in case it went there

 

[Auto618]

Were you previously put on the waitlist? Maybe check spam in case it went there

yes I was put on Waitlist in March

 

[Hopeful_futureDr]

yes I was put on Waitlist in March

Maybe check junk or spam? And if not definitely reach out because maybe they missed you by accident

 

[Auto618]

I also applied to the bridge program about a month ago. Maybe they're not even considering me for this year since I applied to the bridge program?

But in the email they said specifically that we wouldn't be removed off the waitlist so thats still really weird that you didn't receive one. Its not in any of the misc folders in your email?

Nope I checked everywhere. Did any one that applied to the bridge program get the confirmation email? The only thing I can think of is I have been sending frequent academic updates and basically begging them to let me in the past couple weeks. Last email I sent was yesterday.
