dont know much about that stuff, but i go to ny tech where nycom is located and know that you have to know the name of the founder of osteopathy for your interviews sometimes, jsut thought you should know. i hope to go there in 2004.

ummm, yeah it's a bit more than that, but nothing to get stressed over. I'm a first year at nycom. The interview is usually relaxed, depending of course on who you get. Know a bit about osteopathic tmt, why nycom specifically, and mostly, know yourself.

The secondary takes about 30 minutes or less to finish. You get a few lines for the smaller questions and maybe a third of a page for the larger stuff, ie, why nycom. Although, it may have changed since last year.

You'll get lunch and a tour after the interview then the director of admissions will talk for a bit, then your done. Most seem to be getting out around 2-3pm.

good luck.

I'm also a student at NYIT. I suggest you be very well acquainted with osteopathic medicine, i.e. how it differs from allopathic medicine. And be ready to tell them why you specifically want to be a DO. Also, DO NOT tell them that you intend to specialize, even if you do. They're leery of that sort of thing.
