So is there a Facebook group for the class of 2016? And, any comments from first years in regards to how their experience has been thus far? Would love to hear all about it

Yeahh there's a group you have to search it bc it doesn't come up, at least it didn't for me. Just type in NYCOM 2016. I'd give you the link but I'm on my iPhone haha.
Thanks guys! super excited to start
I left the immunization form ID number blank...
Also, just got the Webboard info in the mail. It's starting to get real....
Me too!!!!
For anyone whose filled out the immunization forms, what did you guys put for the ID number?
I was accepted through the HCOP program in December, woo! So excited to start!
Anyone else attending the summer prep program?
Hey! I was accepted through the HCOP Program as well in December! Congrats to both of us! I live in NJ so I'm looking for apartments for the summer and I'm not really willing to spend on the hotel they've sent us info for.. Was just wondering..what plans do you have for your accommodations?

Hey all! I'm wondering if any of you could answer a question I have.
What are the DPC students' weekly schedules like? I read they have group meetings 3 times a week - does this mean they are not in school the rest of the week, or are the OMM and anatomy classes on the other days of the week, so they have class 5 times a week?
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!
any idea if the anatomy and omm classes are on the same days as the group meetings (i.e. MWF)? Essentially, are T and TH free for DPC students?From what I gather it's MWF for 2 hrs but you still have to attend anatomy and omm lab and lectures with the test of the class
Congrats to all you guys, im a OMS-II (class of 2014) at NYCOM getting ready for the hell month before the Comlex.
just a drop of advice, dont buy any Textbooks!(unless your DPC then you will probably end up learning everything from textbooks, i am a Lecture based) waste of money everything you will be tested on is in the notes... streaming is great. just have to go in for the labs (omm, anatomy, dpr)
work hard, and itll pay off.
if you have any q's id be happy to help if i get a chance to respond but if i don't plz attribute it to me being stuck in a dungeon studying for the boards... gl guys
Hey, would you mind giving us a breakdown of how first year is (classes and their schedules), any breaks, and when first year ends and how long is the break before 2nd year begins.
Did you buy anything for first year (books, equipment, etc)? Thanks and good luck!!!!!
Hey guys. Congrats to everyone who got in.
Does anyone know what kind of grades you have to maintain so that they wont rescind acceptance? The letter they sent only says that one has to get a bachelor's degree to matriculate (as far as i can tell). I know for a fact that my grades for this last semester of college won't be anywhere near my pre-admission grades lol. However, none of the classes I'm taking now are any of the requirements, and only one of them is a science course. What do you guys think would happen if i got a few C's? D?
Thanks for the info! Any current NYCOM students able to confirm that? MWF DPC group sessions, T,TH anatomy & OMM?I think anatomy and OMM are on tues and Thursday from what I remember a student telling me at orientation

First year is hard, but doable!!! Figure out what works for you and figure it out quickly. Don't let other people get you stressed. Lemme give you some good advice.
1. NEVER listen to what the second years tell you. They are most often wrong/lying more than right.
2. A lot of people fail Intro! Then MSK then HEME. Don't let these systems kill you. Especially the earlier systems - you don't need that stress going into each test (you can only fail once then you are out)
3. Always make sure you have all previous (past 4 years) exam keys memorized before taking your exams. Questions tend to be copy and pasted. Yes. These questions should be gimmies for you!
4. Everyone fabricates. Don't let people telling you they honored or telling you they finished streaming everything get you down. Most often than not everyone is lying to make themselves look better. Do what works for you! be on your own schedule.
5. Make it till Dec and it will get easier. Once Anatomy is over you will feel a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.
If you guys have anymore questions and want the truth and not the "political" answer PM me
GOod Luck! You all will do great!
Was just wondering what NYCOM's policy is regarding doing rotations away from New York.
I think I read somewhere that all core rotations (all of 3rd year) must be done at affiliated hospital, while for 4th year, rotations can be done anywhere? Is this correct?
Anyone???
