Hi everyone,

I can't seem to find info about the Columbia and NYU Apps. Is it identical to AMCAS, except it's Embark instead of AMCAS? Is there only 1 Personal Statement Essay Question?

Thanks.

you just call up the school and ask them to send you an application.

Thanks, so it's not online?

Could you also please tell me if I need to write a different essay for these 2 schools so I can start working on it?

Thanks.

They each have slightly different essays from the generic AMCAS one. I think Columbia's was "What satisfactions do you expect to receive from a career as a physician?" or something like that...
NYU's asked about your motivation for medicine.

Also, Columbia's should be online, but as of last year NYU's was strictly paper.
