Is anyone here considering Touro-NY vs NYCOM? Can you please share your insights on which school and why?

Last year I was choosing between NYIT and Touro. I ended up going to NYIT because of their non mandatory lectures and because of them having rotation spots in NYC

If I ever get an interview and if I'm lucky enough to get accepted to NYCOM, I'll likely give up my spot at Touro for the same. I'm indifferent about the mandatory lectures at Touro, but its nice to have the option to miss without losing the points from the clicker quiz. You won't actually be in NYC though (at least for MS1/MS2), which could be a downside depending what you consider a pro for Touro.

does anyone know if we are supposed to receive a confirmation email once we scheduled our interview?

 

[Dr.DOlittle]

I don't think we are supposed to. The woman I talked to said they will just be sending an email a week prior to your scheduled interview as a reminder.

 

[WaitingGame14]

Has anyone who interviewed heard anything back as yet?

Hey guys,

IS applicant with 28 MCAT (11 VR, 10 BS, 7 PS) 3.5 GPA. I'm pretty sure my application was complete 9/30, but I haven't heard anything about a II yet. Starting to lose some hope 🙁

i know it sucks waiting but silence is better than flat out rejection. have patience, send an update letter if you want.
ive been complete since 8/18 with 30 MCAT and 3.6 GPA although im OOS, so youre not the only one

Do they give out flat-out rejections this early?

 

[The_Sunny_Doc]

Yes, there is a preference. School is 70% in-state.

*heart sinks* That is good to keep in mind. Still hoping for an ii though. They're one of the few schools with a nutrition program.

Just because its 70 in state doesn't mean that there is a preference. Its a private school. There might just be lots of people from NY applying and want to stay there.

Hardly anyone OOS has received invites so far though. The preference seems obvious

 

[fitdoctor09]

I saw many out of state students during my interview. Do not lose hope.
One of those out of state students gave me a ride home.

 

[DoctorSynthesis]

Instate and no offer either. They just started interviewers. Also sdn isn't representative of everyone.

 

[JoeIdk]

Hey guys-
First year student here. Good luck to all those applying!
If you guys have any questions about NYIT-COM feel free to PM.

 

[twinmama88]

II today, IS and complete 11/10.

Congrats!! Can you share your stats if you don't mind?? how do you know your complete date if they aren't giving out complete emails?

 

[Dr.DOlittle]

Congrats!! Can you share your stats if you don't mind?? how do you know your complete date if they aren't giving out complete emails?

Thanks! 28 MCAT/3.85 cumulative GPA/3.8 science GPA
The complete date is an estimate based off of when I was complete at other schools. I had to send out a set of documents to be considered complete at a few schools (NYIT included). So when the other schools told me the documents had been received I figured that was around the time I was complete at NYIT as well.

 

[WaitingGame14]

How often does the admissions committee meet to review our applications?

 

[dr.match2015]

Hello every one. Just for IV today. For the EPP NYCOM .. How is it like ?

[Jmust171]

I finished my app to this school a while ago im OOS but i havent heard anything (no "app complete" email or anything) anyone else run into this problem? I emailed their admissions and didnt hear anything either so im kinda nervous...

Same situation (me: OOS, complete forever ago, decent stats, no II). I emailed them, and they took a few days to reply. All I got, however, was the generic "your file is under review, you could be invited for interview at any point." I suppose all we can do is wait. Good luck to you though.

They don't email you a completion note. I would call them and ask if they've received everything.

Hey!!!

 

[dr.match2015]

Mind if you share your experience ? Thank you so much.

 

[WaitingGame14]

Mind if you share your experience ? Thank you so much.

The interview was very relaxed and lasted around 20 mins. Make sure you know why you want to go to this school in particular.

 

[fitdoctor09]

Mind if you share your experience ? Thank you so much.

The interview was relaxed and conversational. Nothing to be scared about.

 

[dr.match2015]

Can you please elaborate more ? I know nothing about medical school IVs . This is my only IV ?
What question was asked ??
Many thanks

 

[fitdoctor09]

It is open file so expect questions on your activities and volunteer experience. Everyone is different.

Why do you want to be a DO? Why do you choose NYIT? Do you have any shadowing experiences with DO?
Some other questions like these...

 

[dr.match2015]

Oh great ... I don't know the answer to any of it!
Thank you so much.

 

[jmc123]

Any idea how frequently interview invites come out? When were the last ones sent out? Need to stop obsessively checking my email.

 

[Gracelikerain]

1st year here and finishing up my first semester! PM me if you guys have any questions! good luck to you all.

 

[CardiacLion]

Anyone who interviewed on November 19th or earlier receive a decision yet? I have deposits for other schools due in 10 days, and I'm not trying to shell out for multiple deposits.

 

[DoctorLacrosse]

I interviewed on Nov 12th and still have not received a decison. Maybe by next week?

Called admissions, they said that they are sending out the decision letters next week and they should be received by the 25th of Dec, if you interviewed November 19th or prior.

Decisions are communicated by physical mail.

Thanks for letting us know! I was hoping that decison letters came in before Dec 14th, so that I wouldn't have to drop $500 on my UNECOM deposit.
