For the people debating whether or not to apply to the DPC curriculum (instead of the standard Lecture Based Curriculum), i highly recommend joing the DPC fb group and asking past 1st and 2nd years.

Did you get waitlisted? I didn't receive that email

Yeah I was waitlisted but I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what they say.

Yeah I was waitlisted but I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what they say.

Any more acceptances this week?
just curious to see if wait list still moving or it is all done with acceptances.

 

[nachodog55]

I received a call today asking to confirm that I wanted to remain on the waitlist. I think they are just weeding out people on the waitlist who have accepted other offers before they make new decisions

Did you ever hear back after that phone call?

 

[Jhpoppp]

Did you ever hear back after that phone call?

I had a phone call too, but have not heard back. I hope this answers your question, at least somewhat.

Did anyone else just get an email asking to respond with name number and whether or not you're still interested

 

[nachodog55]

Just got the same email!

 

[originalname]

JUst wanted to post this I got a similar email from the Jonesboro campus too

 

[gingergirl96]

Just got the same email!

Also received this email, hope this means we are somewhere near the top of the list!

 

[TheDoctor067]

Also received the email lol

 

[HARLEMPREMED]

Just got the email too

 

[rspb]

Just got the same email as well, this is starting to sound like its just more of a mass email they sent out rather than an indication were going to be accepted like people earlier have posted.... but maybe im wrong.

 

[Neurodoct]

Regardless, even if it is a mass email a good chunk of people will not respond or no longer show interest. Thus cutting down the WL further. Keep your hopes up!

Accepted off the wait list Yesterday. Interview on 03/03.
I already accepted Touro, Middletown.
Is NYIT better than Touro?

How did you hear, by phone or email? Also did you receive a email/phone call asking if you wanted to stay on the wait list?

 

[pseud0]

NYITCOM facilities and reputation are *definitely* better than Touro. Unless its much more convenient to go to Touro, I'd recommend NYITCOM.

Thanks for reply.

No phone call. Received email only.
Also did not receive any email on Tuesday regarding interest in wait list.

 

[TheDoctor067]

Any new acceptances?

 

[nachodog55]

Does anyone know if there is still waitlist movement?

 

[lionwar]

I talked to Clair yesterday, she told me that she last year they only had 2 students drop out from now until the orientation on August 1st, and they do not rank

Who is Clair?

 

[TheDoctor067]

I think she is the financial aid director unless there is another Clair.

Oh got you but hopefully the waitlist moves more 😀 love the banana thing but you took it too far ... see what I did there?

 

[TheDoctor067]

[aspiredoc900]

Does anyone know if the medical equipment (besides the stethoscope) is necessary? Like the hammer, opthalomo kit etc

I saw second year and other students post on Facebook that only the stethoscope is worth buying. The other instructments you will find in the room or can use cheaper alternatives .

Any second year or higher students know if the first day orientation is more formal or casual setting? Thank you

 

[TheDoctor067]

[elemure77]

Received a phonecall today asking if I would still be interested in attending even though classes start in 10 days. I don't think this was an acceptance though. It's hard to believe they'd accept me this late.

 

[KnowItAllMD]

Just withdrew my acceptance after being pulled off of the waitlist at my first choice. Hope it goes to one of you well deserving individuals, don't lose hope yet!

 

[chowder92]

Did anyone from the 1/24 interview group get accepted?

 

[Dhally]

Guessing today is the last day to find out if anyone gets off the wait-list, kind of wish they would just reject us rather than having us wait till the very last minute and finding out we didn't make it

 

[chowder92]

Just called admissions and they said classes have started and everyone has arrived, so look out for an email concluding this cycle. Hope to see you waitlist folks at interviews this upcoming cycle!

 

[SaintBernard1]

For those who interviewed here in the past, when does NYIT begin to send out interview invitations?

 

[tulsi3patel]

complete mid september and still havent heard back 🙁 i sent an update letter about a month ago. not sure if i should send one again in a month or so. thoughts?!

What type of letter you send to show interest.

 

[cherubidim123]

Hey would anyone help me out by giving an idea of why they chose NYITCOM over other schools? got an interview coming up for next year and would like some advice and unsure of where else to post.
