Hello. I haven't seen a thread that invited comments about NYCOM in quite a while, so I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the school here. My concern is as follows: I know that the NYCOM Admissions Committee intends to enroll approximately 250 students into the entering class of 2000. Does anyone know how many students registered in last year's entering class?
I'm concerned about the gradual expansion of the entering classes at NYCOM because of the additional necessity to accommodate these future graduates into Residencies. I expect to write the Admissions Office about this matter, but if anyone already has information about the number of graduates in 2000, please inform us about whether NYCOM can manage to secure enough Residency affiliations for students that have passed the licensing exam.
On another note, I prefer the larger class size because (1) there will be more practicing Osteopathic physicians in New York (thereby increasing the public's recognition of the D.O. title within the state), and (2) there will be an expectation for NYCOM to attract the interest of Specialty Residency Programs.
