2025-2026 NYU LI Secondary Prompts

1. Please check the box indicating the specific residency track for which you wish to be considered (IM/FM/Peds/OBGYN/Gen Surg) and discuss the reason(s) for your choice and which experiences listed on your AMCAS application have confirmed your decision to pursue this field of medicine in the context of primary care and why. Please also discuss any other factors- such as your academic interests, personal circumstances or life journey- that have influenced your residency choice. (350 words)

2. Please provide a response to the timeline that pertains to you: (350 words)
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, including your plans for the upcoming application cycle? Please also discuss how these experiences have informed you of your understanding of primary care and chosen residency track.
If you are still in college: What factors influenced your decision to apply to NYUGLISOM directly from undergrad? Please also tell us your planned academic, extracurricular, research, community service and/or work activities for the upcoming application cycle and how any of these activities align with your interest in primary care and chosen residency track?

3. Do you have any personal, professional, or educational ties to the Long Island, NYC-metropolitan or Tri-State (NY, NJ, CT) Areas? If so, please describe how these connections have influenced your decision to apply to NYUGLISOM and how they may impact your future plans to practice medicine. (350 words)

4. 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. (350 words, optional)

5. 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. (350 words, optional)

Good luck to all applying!

Idk if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if I know I want to do pediatrics (work experience, love kids) but probably in a children's hospital/inpatient setting, would this still be a good fit for me to apply to? I'm ofc not 100% set on what type of peds I want to do but I think the shorter program and guaranteed residency sounds amazing as long as I'm not locked in to outpatient primary care. TY!

Current students can report, but the training itself should not keep you from doing inpatient/hospitalist pediatrics. Do keep in mind there are only 6 spots for pediatrics. So it is up to you how comfortable you are with your chances here.

Do people typically use the last prompt as a "why us?"
I feel like the program speaks for itself, if you are interested in primary care and shortened medical school, so not sure if it's really necessary

yeah not sure abt this essay, especially since it's pretty clear what we would be getting ourselves into

I have the NYU interview coming up in next 3 days and am nervous. I have one clarification from those that have done the interviews already this year. Can you comment on the time given for each MMI Prompt? Like how much time allocated for contemplation after the prompt is given (also is the prompt given by live interviewer or is it shown on the screen few minutes before entering the station), how much time given for actual response and if there is a discussion there after that the interviewer would be delving on?

Those who completed this year MMI interviews, Please Please Please comment ...
 
Hey all! I submitted my secondary in October after learning about this program later into my app cycle. It’s such a strong fit for my goals in medicine and my background/metrics as an applicant, a literal dream come true. Is it still possible to hear back from them before their interviews close out this year? Any advice or anything else I can/should do in the meantime? Thank you 🙏

Do you mind sharing when you submitted your secondary?

kinda late tbh! submitted on 9/18. i did also go to one of the open houses last year because im IS, so i was able to get to know the dean of admissions a bit. idk if that helped me much, but that's the only x-factor i can think of. they told me at that open house that they consider everyone for an II regardless of when people submit, so i wouldn't be worried about your timeline

Echoing this about the timeline! I submitted at the very end of September and had my interview in October. The portal says they "want to reassure you all applications completed by the November 15th at 11:59pm eastern time deadline will be considered." Also, they emailed us afterward saying admissions aren't rolling.
