NYMC is cheaper? I thought it was tremendously expensive there?

New York Medical College.
Just outside NYC in Valhalla or however it is spelled. Originally it was on 5th avenue right across from central park. Solid school. My dad went there and I was hoping for at least an interview. They also are one of the avenues for the little known "fifth pathway" program...or were. Don't know if they are anymore.
there are about 30 people that were offered the deferred acceptance for next year. everybody else who was on the waitlist has been denied (this is what i was told, but you know how reliable their information can be sometimes). also, there has been no movement yet this year, as they overfilled the class (i think this is common to do), and havent had enough withdrawals yet to reach the "threshold" of taking people off the waitlist.
apparently this june has been one of the slowest ever in regards to attrition on the acceptance list. maybe there will be an upswing in movement from july, but the admissions office is not anticipating it. personally, i am hoping the the few people who recently posted their intentions to attend other schools are indicative of a broader group of people with the same mindset.
Betrayer!
I know, but for nearly 13k a year less in tuition alone (not counting the cheaper housing). My parents also give me free food all the time and I didn't have to pack.
Good point.
This mirrors my experience. I was offered a deferred spot, but I declined it with a request to stay on the wait list for this year since I've already accepted one deferred spot (I can't send everyone $2k). The response was basically that the class was full for this year and since then my Webstar account has been purged.
thanks so much for the info! everytime i call ellen i get her voicemail. we will just have to see what happens
. if they overfilled the class, there probably won't be that much movement on the waitlist. good thing they offered the deferred acceptance Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

ellen is usually pretty good with emails, but calls are another thing. im sure shes a busy lady. i just circumvented all of that and called dr. whitehead. during his presentation on my interview day he mentioned that we could come to him with any questions, so i did. he was extremely helpful, and offered up information before i could even ask about it. he even gave his opinion on certain things and was very upfront. very refreshing.
Well this is going to be a stupid question but, where do we report to on the first day of orientation. I was looking at the orientation schedule for the week of 8/3 but it doesn't say exactly where we need to be on that day at 8am.
who are you going through for grad plus? I went through salliemae and from the time I submitted the application to when they sent me the MPN to mail back took around 2 weeks.
Usually it's in Steele Auditorium. It's difficult to house that many students otherwise.
Citi. I called today and they said they'd get it certified by tomm or Fri. I'll check back on Fri.
I hope orientation week isn't too bad. I need at least that amount of time to get in the right frame of mind.
I see, thanks. Where did find out this information, because I looked all over.
I was not made aware of your schedule for orientation week, but it's nothing like the two weeks that we had. It's much more condensed with a few classes to help prepare you for what there is to come. Make friends during this time because those are the people that you will see a lot during your next two years. The friendships I made early on are the ones that remained after the "stress." 🙂
I went through Citi too and havent heard anything by phone, email, or snail-mail. Which are we suppossed to hear from? I guess I'll just call tomorrow about it. Let me know how yours turns out.
nova told me gradplus loans are just getting certified for people, but sometimes people tell me stuff to get me off the phone. that's why i keep calling the school to make sure. once a day keeps the doctor away.
This may not be the right place to ask, but figured all the accepted students would know the answer: Do we have to use the evaluation forms provided in the secondary or can we just send letters of recommendation on letter head via snail mail? Thanks
No. I used Interfolio. Snail mail would probably work too

i sent my letters via snail mail and it was fine. they got it pretty quickly
You're going to have a club week/day where the OMS-IIs E-boards will be at the respective booths looking for membership. Join clubs that you're interested in, most clubs offer "perks." Trust me, the money is well spent.
hey, for me I called to make sure they received all of my required documents, and at first they said no, but she double-checked for me and said they did. I asked when they are going to start interviews and I was told I will hear in about 2 weeks. 20 minutes later I got an email inviting me for an interview. My advice is to you is that you should really stay on top of your stuff and follow-up with the schools you applied to.
I gotta admit, it is cool.
Does anyone know if Medicaid meets these criteria as far as mandatory health insurance is concerned at NSU?
1. Maximum plan coverage of at least $200,000 per incident.
2. Insurance that is accepted in the State of Florida and/or at the NSU Health Clinic.
3. Coverage will be in effect for the entire academic year.
