NYCOM application process

Okay I think this question has been posed a few times so I thought I'd start a thread. What happens with NYCOM? I read that they do not send a secondary app but instead invite for interviews and during that time, you fill out extra information.

In other words, my question (along with a few other people probably), is:

Does NYCOM select people to interview based solely on the primary AACOMAS app?

Thanks =)

Yes they do.

You can send your LOR's right away if you wish, that way when you are invited for an interview, they will already be there.

NDESTRUKT - Yes, NYCOM sends out invitations for interviews based on your AACOMAS application. If you are granted an interview you will receive a postcard in the mail. You then have to call up the school to schedule an appointment on one of the days they're holding interviews. On the day of your interview, a secondary application is filled out and a check is submitted (All the other schools I know of do this prior to your interview day).

MEDicated - When I applied, I had three letters of recommendation (2 science and 1 non-science) along with a letter from my pre-med committee. A letter from a DO is highly recommended as well.

Hope this helps!

I sent two science and one non-science as well as a letter from a DO that attended NYCOM. I sent them in as soon as I received my postcard saying my application was complete and being reviewed.
