II for December 6 NY Campus. For those that have interviewed how did you get to the New York campus from the airport? I heard driving in New York is terrible. Did anyone use public transportation?

It's legal, but it might take much longer to get a car there than it would take in the city.if Uber is legal in NYC/Long Island?
Sure no prob both science and cumulative GPA are from the 3.2-3.3 range with science GPA being higher. MCAT as 508. OOS. Strong LORs.Congrats on that II? May I ask when you were complete and for your stats?
The drive in Manhattan is a pain, but it is absolutely fine on Long Island (where the campus is). There is no public transportation to campus!
If you're not from NY, getting to this campus is going to suck. Traveling in the city is easy through bus and subway, but perhaps have a cab service if you're staying at a hotel? That's probably going to be your best bet. Does anyone know if Uber is legal in NYC/Long Island?

Yeah I know I was wondering if I could catch a subway/train from airport to the hotel/airbnb and from there to campus that is reliable.
Thanks for the info!
There are hotels in the general area (westbury, east meadow, levittown), you can just get an uber from hotel to NYCOM. I'd suggest staying on the island instead of one the boroughs, traffic in the morning is a b****.
II! Complete sometime late July
II offers at PCOM, KCU, MSU, CCOM and some MDs later in cycle. Frustrated that I get no in state D.O. love. Worth checking in?
For anyone that has interviewed in a morning session what time were you guys done? Trying to get back to work on the Upper East Side for the afternoon.
3.9 GPA, 502 mcat, OOSCongrats! Mind sharing stats?
lol it aint fun going east or west even if you live on the island from my home to workplace, I get there in 5 minutes without traffic. But everyday in the morning and when I get off work, it takes me 30min to get to where I need to be
I interviewed around this time at the Arkansas campus and still silence. Wish they would let us know! It's been over a month lolFor people that interviewed early September did any of you get any notice of acceptance or jrejection?
Yeah I remember the New York campus people saying 6 to 8 weeks and I think this is week 7 lolI interviewed around this time at the Arkansas campus and still silence. Wish they would let us know! It's been over a month lol

I would highly recommend knowing why you'd be interested in osteopathic medicine before any interview at a D.O. school, as well as being able to state what you feel the differences are between the two pathways.For those who interviewed, I understand it is a 1 on 1 laid back interview, but how much emphasis was put on "why osteopathic medicine?" Or did they simply focus on "why medicine?"
I don't want to give off the impression that I'm applying to MD schools and using them as a backup because I am genuinely interested in attending.

Well yes it's important to know the "why DO" question, and I have many reasons for why I am interested. However, some DO schools have a very dedicated portion of time to this question. Some do not make that distinction and ask the "why medicine" question in general. Just trying to get a feel of the interview
They asked me to explain osteopathic medicine as if I was talking to someone who hasn't heard of it, but I had no "why medicine" or "why DO" question. Also, I was interviewed by an MD so be careful about your answers and discussion of DO medicine based on your interviewer
ooooo they threw you a bit of a curve ball didn't they sneaky....
Is there a way to check the status of your application online?
NYIT has ignored me more in the 4 months since I submitted my secondary application than all the hot girls from my high school combined.
Is the tuition at this school high? Also, how is the price of living considering it's a school in manhattan?
For people that interviewed early September did any of you get any notice of acceptance or jrejection?
Yup so next week would def make sense. The waiting game is horrible lolI think I was in the same interview session as you. I haven't receive the acceptance or rejection mail yet. We are on week 7 so it should be coming soon.
I would just submit it now and they will just look at your DO letter whenever it arrives. As long as you include your DO's name and info in your secondary, you should be good! I had a similar issue where my DO did not even write his letter for about two weeks after I submitted my application. I then called admissions and they said since the DO letter is not required, it will not hold back my application process.Hi all, just received my secondary. I have letter of rec from at least three faculty members, but my DO letter hasn't arrived yet, should I submit it now or not?
