NYCOM Discussion Thread 2009-2010
Started by life is good
You should relax.
Our tour guides told us you'd literally have to pull a knife on your interviewer to get rejected.
Thanks cable... Hopefully I will get that packet soon as well! And hoepfully I will see you this summer at med prep! =)
had my interview and i am definitely my own worst enemy right now! keep thinking back on the interview and playing it back in my head, thinking of things i could've/should've said. Definitely had a view moments where my mind went blank and I feel that I looked stupid. Ugh! This is like some sort of psychological warfare!
Nobody walks out of interview thinking they did the best they could. There will always be that one question you think you could've answered better and play it over and over it in your head. As long as you feel you left a positive impression it should be fine!! Good luk!
Yeah, pretty much everyone goes through this.
I don't think they've sent out acceptances for two weeks now because classes were canceled last Friday (and possibly Thursday) which apparently is when the adcom meets.
But I am also interesting in what the acceptance packet looks like.

how long did u have to wait to hear back? seems like it varies from 1.5-2 weeks to 2 months even based on what SDNers reported. what's up with that? i interviewed only last week and am anxiously waiting to hear back.
So does anyone know what the deal is with this HCOP email and constant phone calls I am getting from NYCOM?? I just interviewd last week and I'm confused about what this pertains to.
I'd like to reiterate that no one from my week has heard back and it's hitting 3.5 weeks now. I think they're delayed a week because of the snow. Or the people who got letters haven't posted...
I interviewed on 2/9 as well. Still waiting for that letter.
I'm still waiting from 2/9 too. Ive been on SDN everyday waiting to see if anyone has heard back 🙁
Hey AC121285,
Congrats on your acceptance letter. 👍
just curious, which college did you recv your bachelor degree? i have similar stats as yours (crappy mcat verbal, 180+ undergrad credits ast post-bac student, etc.). I had an interview at NYCOM in late Feb. i'm waiting to hear their response.
so are you going to attend NYCOM this august?
🙂

Hey for those studying at NYCOM do you have any international students (e.g Canadians) in your classes or is every student a US citizen/permanent resident?
Thanks
Thanks
I called NYCOM yesterday just to make sure they received that med prep 1-page app. I was planning to ask then what comes next (if I should be expecting an acceptance to this, more information, etc) However they sounded so busy she was just "Yep everything is here, thank you, buh bye" I didn't want to be too pushy since she sounded so busy... Hopefully something more official will come in the mail soon to relieve this limbo of stress 😀

Hey, me and my friend both got the med prep letter and we have been calling and asking the same question! the answer was yes, you are pretty much in!! I also talked to the dean of the admission and she also said you will receive the info soon withing 2 to 3 weeks because they are still deciding on housing and etc. hope it relieves little bit of your stress...
I sent in my MCAT scores late also (end of January) and I just got an invitation for an interview this week. I sent in my scores late because of a misunderstanding on my part, so I wrote them a letter explaining what happened and how I'm still eager to get into NYCOM.
When I called them about interviews a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly, they said if you don't hear from them about an interview invitation by April, you probably didn't get accepted. But I would call them to make sure.
I'm going in for the interview on 3/17, anyone else?! If any of you had the interviews yet, can you please share how it went?

The interview at NYCOM is pretty laid back - very conversational, etc. Everybody is extremely friendly. They take you on a tour, financial aid people speak with you, they give you food, etc.
I think in general D.O. schools are more laid back than MD schools when it comes to the interview process.
And btw, I think they're behind on sending the letters out because of the snow days. The ADCOM meets on Fridays, and I know we missed one or two at NYCOM. (I'm a NYCOM employee, as well as an applicant, so that's how I know. haha)

I interviewed at 7 MD schools this year (about 12 interviewers total) and I can safely say that they're very laid back, but it probably depends on the school/interviewers. I've heard rumors of some DO schools where they're very confrontational or they drill you for 1.5 hours.
I guess my point is that although my interview at NYCOM seemed shorter than any of the other schools, I'd say it was no more laid back than any other school I went to.
I have my NYCOM interview scheduled for 3/11 at 11 am. I'm just curious, what would be my chances of actually getting accepted? I only ask because it seems that since my interview date is so late I will be interviewing for a waitlist spot. Is this correct or do I have a decent chance of getting a seat for the class of 2014?
Ahh--so excited/nervous/anxious!

I don't know your exact chances, but NYCOM definitely accepts the majority of their interviewees. Also, our tour guides said they had all interviewed in February/March and got in. They said don't worry about how late you interview.

When I interviewed 3 years ago, my date was in late February and I was accepted. I'd say you have a good chance of being accepted too. Don't be nervous! It's really a laid back interview day compared to others I had.
Yes; anybody entering a professional program is automatically considered independent. But I feel bad for you if you'll actually borrow up to the COA...
Anybody who was waitlisted/accepted - what were your gpa/mcat scores like? Kind of curious about where I stand, I'd rather not get my hopes up for an acceptance!
As of tomorrow, its been a MONTH.. and no word from NYCOM for 2/9.... getting a little ridiculous lol
I interviewed on 2/9 and I haven't heard anything either. Each time I walk to my mailbox and there is nothing in it from NYCOM a little piece of me dies.😡
you dont need to feel bad for me cause im not gonna borrow up to coa.
🙁
Me too. Every day I'm hoping and I haven't received any acceptances so this is a really big deal for me. I almost want to give them an update letter.

Yeah, but with my luck this season I'll be rejected since I've been rejected/waitlisted at seven other schools.
Anyone else still waiting to hear about an interview invite? I've been complete since December. All I received was an email about the MedPrep program asking me to submit my tax information. The letter didn't say anything about interviewing or being accepted to MedPrep. It just said that I classified myself as economically disadvantaged and they needed my tax information from 2008. I received this email on January 4th and submitted the paper work to the a few days later. Did anyone else get this letter or anyone else in the same boat? Do you think there is a chance for at least an interview still? NYCOM is my top choice since I live 20 minutes away from the school.
I guess that means they met Friday, decided who gets in, and made up the letters to be sent out Saturday?
Sounds about right. I believe the committee meets on Fridays.
Ok, let me down easy...
Friend applied to NYCOM in Oct/Nov, received the secondary, etc. We have not heard back since.
Stats:
NY resident
Boston University '09
GPA: 3.2 (maybe 3.3)
MCAT: 29Q
She sent an update letter yesterday, research was just published that she worked on in college.
I know that her cousin just got an interview offer a few days ago, so NYCOM is not done interviewing.
Any info or recommendations would be appreciated!
