Members don't see this ad.

I’m planning to apply there but I’m unsure whether it’s a good or reputable school for future residency endeavours.

There's no such school with that name...there is only New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

NYCPM is a good school; just like the other 8, that will give you the tools to become a DPM and successfully match.

You can learn more about it from: Colleges - The American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine (AACPM)

NYCPM is the only school offering the benefit of being able to reduce your load by a little bit by adding a January start.

It also has some benefits I liked like multiple choice exams for anatomy lab

It has some negatives such as mandatory attendance, high cost of living, ******ed administration etc.

I wouldnt go there personally based on the COL etc, but it is a decent program

Schools using the quarter system (I think AZPOD and one other) also reduce the load each session too, but you go to school all year long as a trade off.

I second this, I forgot to mention quarters are much nicer to have except for the school all year long, although some semesters such as kent, you also go to school basically all year long.

Could you tell me why the administration sucks? I actually have a one on one session with someone from admissions next Monday but I don't wanna go to a school which sucks & pay lots of money to them.

the lady that did the finance/housing was pretty rude.. and the building is really rundown looking.
They offered me a lot of scholarship but the cost of living is insanely high there so it makes it pointless.

I've asked podiatry students of each school during my interview visit if they like the school and NY was the only one where the students didn't say they like/love the school.

COL is very high.

Other than that, its a good school where you will become a physician.

All Nine podiatry schools seem to give you the ability to become an excellent podiatrist regardless of where.

If I lived in New York, I'd probably attend the New York school.

If I lived in Florida, I'd probably attend the Florida school.

If I lived in the Midwest, probably one of the midwestern school.

Location matters.Everyone thinks their school is the best. The top 10 students at every schools are probably all pretty similar in terms of stats.

1) Just for admissions alone a lot of them have no clue what they are doing
2) professors tend to be very crappy
3) Students complain about how terrible the exam schedules can be, the mandatory attendance, some extra rules like dressing formal to class.
To be honest I dont remember much at all besides just being a really run down school, with rude staff, students were only happy because its manhattan, besides that they said negative points about almost everything. We had a chance to shadow in their clinic and the professor/podiatrist who is also a faculty member was a complete dickhead.

I’m a nycpm student. I’d tell you more but I’d fear I may be reported again. If you are considering it PM me, I’ll tell you the honest goods and honest bads.

100% match rate this past year.
