So after I got my acceptance email for A-State (first correspondence, interviewed 11/10 and heard back 11/17), I got the snail mail within 3 days myself. Got immunizations and pre-enrollment submitted within the week. Got an email today about the background check opening up. They give us 10 days from the date of the email, but I went ahead and got it done today (took all of 10 minutes).

I am excited to get housing plans knocked out. Any other A-Staters looking at the housing options or hear anything about when everything opens up for us?

Edit: update was just posted to give people an idea of what has come up and when following acceptance. As the dates progress, there will be fewer days to complete what comes up. Any questions, just ask.

Can we assume that the rest of the 11/11 crew who didn't get an acceptance yet were either waitlisted or axed?

Kind of jelly how tight this 11/11 interview group is or maybe it's just a coincidence many of you from that day are SDN users

Anyone hear back from the 12/2 group? All these acceptances are giving me hibbie jibbies.
 
My friend called yesterday and apparently told him all IIs have been given out? Can anyone confirm?

I sincerely hope not! They might also snail mail some acceptances they didn't initially email, since I remember they said they would send us decisions that way.

Idk who your friend talked to but I highly doubt this - admissions committees would never outright say that all interviews have been given out when the deadline for AACOMAS applications is still a few weeks away. Also, a bunch of people got emails that their applications were still being evaluated so I really doubt that this is true. NYITCOM interviews into the spring as well.

I just received my II today by email so I'm guessing that's not true.

Gotcha, I was wondering about that, its not super late anyways. Sounds good, thanks for letting me know!

...and then NYITCOM only takes two from the 11/11 crew
 
Accepted on Tuesday; interviewed 11/11 :) Will be withdrawing, but good luck to everyone!

Half my intro to bio course was waived with AP credit and I haven't had an issue so far!

How long did it take for you to receive your acceptance packet after you received your email accceptance? (That is, if you got an email acceptance first)

The packet came in yesterday I believe, and I got the email on the 10th. I live in Connecticut, if that makes a difference.

Did they have a deadline for when everything was due on your packet? I was just curious bc I haven't received my packet yet but want to make sure that I will be able to hand everything in on time

My deadline was January 27th, for reference.

Yup same deadline, but I think the immunization forms are due a month from when it was sent. There is also an application for DPC which can be submitted anytime until the class is filled (but they said the earlier the better).

Does anyone know if we have to update our transcript if we have new grades from the fall 2016 semester? I took a stats class last semester and had it categorized as a future class via AACOMAS in the transcript section.

You should update it, especially now where they have an academic update period. I know NYITCOM wants us to send updated grades as part of the matriculation procedure as well.
 
Congrats on the acceptances! Can't wait to meet y'all next semester :)

was this for the NY campus?
 
Yes NY campus, I should've mentioned that in my first post haha
Congrats! Is the email you got last week the one with the really optimistic/encouraging tone that a few people on this thread received? Also, when did you submit your secondary if you don't mind me asking?
 
FYI, I just received an email asking if I was interested in NYITCOM-AR. Looks like all the spots at Old Westbury are filled.....

I haven't interviewed yet. They literally sent me that email an hour ago asking if I wanted to be considered for the AR campus.

Also, yes. It sounds to me like all of the acceptances have been given out. What do I know, though? ;)

yeah it was the one that said something like "dear future NYIT physician." I submitted my secondary during the first or second week of July.

Sounds like I shouldn't go interview then

Nooooo. Go interview! They could've also meant that they're not sending out anymore II's for NY campus.

Delco isn't far away anyways!
