I have my interview this Wed (3/26) and I am excited/nervous for the interview. 15-20 min interview sounds really short... but I found this post to be very helpful.

Thank you!

Invite via email. I took the earliest date which was april 2nd. my stats (pm me if curious) are on the lower side and I applied pretty late (complete 11/26). So dont give up people!!
 
Wait listed today. What do people think the chances are for getting in off wait list?

When did you interview, if you don't mind me asking?
 
Any Long Islanders have any advice on how the morning commute is on the Long Island Expressway going West. I have a friend about 30-35 miles east of the school which should be about a 40 minute drive without traffic. I was thinking of just heading out by 6-630 am to give me at least 2 hours before the 8:30 morning sessions start. Thoughts?

I live in Suffolk County, and I will be driving tmw (it also looks like it might be snowing) so for a usual 30-40min drive from my house, and assuming that there is going to be traffic in the morning, I am going to aim 1-1.5hr ride for 9am interview.

I might check google maps with traffic info in the morning. Hopefully that can help?

Yea that helps thanks! I much rather leave super early then pay for a hotel. I've heard the LIE is notoriously slow in the morning but I figured it's more busy West of the school towards the city. I woke up at 6:45 AM and checked out the traffic cameras for the exits we would be taking since I would just be a little farther right from Suffolk and it didn't seem too bad.

Ok so I'm not to sure what to do here. I completed this secondary way back in July and I believe they changed the questions on it a month or two after. I say this because I remember answering a how did you hear about NYITCOM question and how did you hear about Osteopathic medicine question and now when I look back it's no listed any longer. So my problem is the family/relatives who attended NYITCOM. I listed my sister who graduated from a different school on the secondary, I have no other info on that question just the name and the word sister near it. I'm pretty certain that before it was a just list DO relatives question as I would have not made that mistake or would have filled the rest of that question. I just got a interview invite a week ago. Should I just wait till the interview to see if it's brought up then? Or maybe should I write a note in the add info part of the secondary?

Hmm. I think I would clear that up with the admissions before the interview (maybe call them instead?)? Although I feel like it shouldn't affect your application that much... and I don't think they will retract the interview invite.
 
I would definitely not call and waste their time With a silly question about them changing questions on their secondary during the app cycle. You dont want to be put into an overly desperate category. Instead mention your ties during your interview without mentioning ur secondary. It will make you sound like a strong candidate geniunely interested in their program.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking it would be desperate if I called to explain. I just hope during the interview I wont be asked something like "so it says here you have a sister who attended here", it would be awkward but I suppose I can clear it up then. Kind of a odd predicament, Im pretty positive the secondary was changed and I would hate to have to correct the interviewer.

Congrats to everybody accepted! Recently waitlisted, anybody know about how many people get taken off? Are my chances good?
 
If you don't mind me asking, for those recently wait listed, what were your stats?
 
For those that sent out deposits, did the school send out an email confirmation saying they got it?

Same boat. I wish my 29 would hold up post smp

Funny I have a 29 too actually...I dont think I want to go through the pain of taking the MCAT all over again!!

Ditto, but everywhere I read a 29 with a good smp isn't enough. Just registering for a late July date is giving me anxiety
