Hey guys,

I'm a bit of a late applicant to NYCOM, just got email inviting me to complete the secondary application today.

What I'm wondering is, does anyone know if the school considers applicants for interviews PRIOR to receiving the secondary, or do they wait until the application is totally complete? I only ask because I am still waiting on one of my letters of recommendation. The email they sent me seems to indicate that they evaluate applicants for interviews pre-secondary:

Here's what they said in their email:

...We would like to assure you that if you are selected for an interview, we will make every effort to contact you in the event that your application is not complete....


Has anyone received an interview invite before completing their secondary? Please let me know!

Yes, they will invite you to interview without the secondary submitted, but you have 10 days to schedule an interview at that point and you cannot schedule until you submit. They already had my letters in, so once I was back from traveling I just wrote my why NYCOM essay and submitted.

I would suggest just doing it as quick as you can regardless. You don't know if they will invite you or not and they seem to have been stingy after giving out the first few weeks of invites, so make yourself as competitive as possible.
 
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to check your status online? And will they email you if you are selected for an interview or is there a portal you can check?

They will e-mail you.
 
How long has it been taking from complete e-mail to interview invite? I know it's early, but I got the complete e-mail Nov. 1 and I'm getting antsy!
 
People keep mentioning that NYCOM has excellent rotation and clinical sites, but I can't seem to find a list on their website. Can anyone help?

The Wikipedia page has a partial list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_College_of_Osteopathic_Medicine

NYCOM has 32 Affiliations throughout the NY, NJ, CT, PA area. The majority are also part of NYCOMEC a direct partnership agreement in which these facilities offer residency admission priority to NYCOM students.

Hi congratulations on the interview. Are you in state? I had everything submitted in September but not a word. I am OOS and hope that maybe they will still consider my application at some point. Good luck to you!

While NYCOM has typically accepted 60% in state, as a private institution they are by no means obligated to accept predominately in state. They could choose to interview and accept the best applicants first. NYCOM would, by the end of this month, have interviewed 150 applicants, with many lined up for interviews in November. NYCOM interviews until March typically so don't freak out right away, I would start freaking out in Jan... Good luck!!!
 
interviewed on november 16th! it was a very relaxed conversation.. nothing crazy

do we really have to wait till mid-december to find out??

I interviewed Nov 3... I feel your pain. From my understanding, the earliest we would hear anything would be mid-december.. If I hear anything, I will definitely post it. Good luck!
 
Relaxed conversation? Haha. Mine was more like the Spanish Inquisition.

Let's say, cut me off before I could answer "why NYCOM" and was pressed on what schools have I applied to several times and essentially scolded for my school selection. Often critical of my responses. I've had four other interviews and they were all very conversational and relaxed. Easily my worst performance of the five, but also a situation where I was routinely put on the defensive and unable to have a conversation, despite my best efforts to have one.

Aw man, that sucks dude. Im sorry to hear that. But you never know, I hear all the time about applicants who think they bombed the interview and get accepted. Guess you'll have to wait and see...
 
Yea they don't get back to you regarding an interview till early december. But you have a very very high chance of being accepted if you interview early.

Same thing happened to me last year I had a guy who just made my interview akward and it was by far my worst interview. But I got good news in december. It really depends who you get to interview you.
 
My application was complete as of October 26. Anyone completed theirs around my date (or later) & got an interview already?

Mine was completed Oct. 28th... still haven't heard anything.
 
I have been complete since september too. Im hoping that since they are so late in offering interviews alot of the more competitive applicants will have already been accepted and chose their schools leaving an underdog like myself a better chance lol.
 
Does anyone know how soon after the interview they let you know?

After reading some of the threads from previous years, it seems that they send out bulk acceptance/waitlist/rejection letters on Dec. 14-15th for everyone that has interviewed in Nov-Dec. I'm hoping they change it for this year though...the wait is killing me!

Yeah, that sounds like the date they told us. I was hoping for earlier since deposits for other schools are due on the 14th or 15th, but NYCOM is higher up on my list if I get the chance to choose.

Yea I totally agree. I cant stand the waiting around much longer. Oh well, 2 more weeks more or less. Hopefully we will all have a nice X-mas gift in the mail 😀
 
Hey Guys, I am in the process of finishing up the secondary and am deciding on whether or not I should apply. My stats are 3.2 ugrad gpa (3.0 science) and 30Q mcat both times (33Q Composite). I went to BU for their SMP (Masters in Medical Science) and got a 3.7 grad GPA.

Should I apply with these stats? Thanks for the advice.

Definitely. As crazy as it sounds - its still early for NYCOM since the secondary was only accepted since Labor Day and only a small amount of interviews have been given out so far.

For what its worth, I have similar numbers to you and I received an interview before completing the secondary, so I think you still have a great chance if you submit ASAP.
 
Thank you! How long after submitting primary did you receive an interview invite? I will be submitting my secondary today. Do you have any advice on other osteopathic schools to apply to at this point of the cycle. I have submitted my primaries for a good amount of DO schools, and am just receiving secondary invites so want to know which schools should i not bother applying to or which I should prioritize first (where I have the best chance)

Hey, I'll PM you when I get home tonight.
 
Just got my interview invite today! I completed the secondary in early October.
 
Interview invite today via email!

Primary completed 8/10
Secondary completed 9/7
Interview scheduled for 1/13

The invite clearly states that if you haven't submitted the secondary, be sure to before the interview.
