Exact deadline for immunizations/physical for NYU Dental.

If you are a D2+ at NYU dental, I've got a question for you.

I'm an entering D1 at NYU and pretty poor...Those titers and physical exam costs are hard to afford for me.

I called the health office today and a lady told me that although it is written elsewhere that everything is due prior to orientation (some cases, a month before), the school actually gives 30 days from the start of

classes (the 21st I think), to actually have submitted everything.

Now, if this is true, it would mean I could use the school's health insurance to get the immunizations and physical saving me some precious cash.

I've been goin around trying to see what is true, and since I don't want to be gambling with my enrollment, I thought I might introduce this question here.

I know why the requirements are there and why it's necessary; I simply want to know what the options are.

Any help would be warmly appreciated. Good day everybody.

Why would you not trust the lady working for the administration and go ask a bunch of random people on the internet for the answer? If that's what the lady said, then go with that. You have more of an argument if you went by what she said vs what some random stranger on the internet said. Having said that, I doubt they'll revoke your acceptance just because you didn't get a physical or your vaccines. 🙂

You've got a good point there, Tinman. I guess my goal with the thread was to hear from anyone who did as the lady said. Guess I'd call and ask again.

If I were you, I would send an email asking instead of calling. That way, you have physical proof of this just in case this becomes an issue in the future.

Doh - should have updated. To anyone pondering waiting, I think it's a bad idea. You won't get instruments with the rest without completion of health and immunizations. So I just got mine done. 👍
