Hello:
If you are of Class 2013 NYCPM, post here for networking 🙂
If you are of Class 2013 NYCPM, post here for networking 🙂
hey guys...i was accepted to NYCPM and still deciding on where to go (still have couple interviews left) and was just wondering if there is a laptop requirement for 1st years (not that this is going to affect my decision or anything but I was just wondering)?
I'm interviewing next week! Do you guys have any tips/suggestions? How was your interview experience? Thanks!
try your best to go to another pod school nycpm is the worst pod school in the whole universe. Honestly, it is sad that it is even a school. The whole school and systme is just a corrupt systme that is the sadest entity in the world. they fail out 35 kids from the freshmen and sophomore years. further, since the deans own the school no one is there to tell them to anything. Honestly, unless this is the only school you got into. Please do not ever i mean ever come to this school. The better business bureau should have shut down this place. nycpm brags about its clinic but you dont realize that they are all hiv patients and ppl with the worse infections in the world and you as a student are exposed to them. Honestly, just get the hell out of here as soon as you can. This is no joke
hey is anyone going for the jan. class? also do a lot of ppl get scholarships?
btw i heard that parkchester is the place to be b/c it's a real apartment with cable tv/internet/phone/all utilities/furnished and the other place is just a dorm like a college dorm. I saw the place and it really looks crappy
i got the 16k scholarship but it seemed like they just gave it to me
in all honest it's jsut a tiny dorm like literally 10 ft by 5 ft and it has like no conveniences like tv etc..liek the place in parkchester yes the nieghborhood is crappy ill agreee to that..but the place is cheap b/c 3 bedroom has your own room, good apartment it's clean etc.., all the utilities paid for, they have everything furnished, and they give you cable tv, cable internet, and telephone..
Ill be honest like draper looked exactly like a college dorm and it's 820/month😱 like what a rip off honestly
the only plus about draper is that it's in manhattan which is a nice neighborhood and it's about a 10 minute shorter subway ride...im not tryin to exaggerate but i went and saw both
i just hate like with a great passion college dorms..it's partly b/c i lived in one for like 3 years and im like about to be 23 and i can't take it being in that small of a room i need a place to go back and chill eat food..watch tv..etc..🙂
hey i was curious if NYCPM is the lowest pod school? b/c everyone keeps on talkin down upon it. I reasoned to go there b/c it's the oldest, is affiliated with good NY hospitals(columbia, mt. sinnai, beth isreal), and that rich DPM levine went there.
Basically about 2 yrs back i took the mcat and made a really low score. So i was like screw this and i took the DAT instead and got a 19, got into NYCPM, and got a 16 k scholarship. The dilemma is that I also got into Boston Univ, and New Jersey for dent. school. The truth is that I dont like dentistry but it's just that dentists make some serious dough. I know podiatry is a much better field b/c you are actually a physican, doing medicine, and it's rewarding. But it just seems like ppl look down on DPMs, and you dont make serious dough..i mean Azpod said the avg. podiatrist was 150-170k for 2006. Yet, i dont know...the good part is that pod school is like 20-40k cheaper than boston and new jersey. What would you guys do if you were me honestly?
I know this sounds greedy but if you are a surgical podiatrist who did a plastic/reconstructive fellowship could you make 300k/yr? like you should be paid as much as a surgeon b/c you are trained like one
yeah i know but i just hate how podiatrist are treated that are you are not a physician.... podiatrists are as smart as an MD, just a well-trained, and should be given the same respect/money as a podiatric surgeon (especially if you are in a sub speciality like plastic/reconstructive) as a general surgeon..like i shouldn't have to say i am a podiatry student i should say i am in medical school!
tite that's what i wanted to hear..hahahyeah screw dentistry i called the navy up and they said starting dentist salary is 83k and podiatry is 110k/yr but this is given that they pay all ur loans off for you. It showed me that yes I am still a physican and physican>> dentist anyday of the week.
i got in without a bachelor's degree all you need is above the average so liek a 3.3 and above, mcat of 24, or dat of 19 and above
hey I am already in Parkchester to be honest..it's not bad like they give you the telephone, tv, cable tv, and the internet. The only that worries me is b/c im from tx so I am not used to the whole jay-z ghetto environment in the bronx,harlem![]()
there is nothing wrong with gainin some capital once in a while
dude forget bout it u just ruined the topic..it's just just that the neighborhood is kind of dangerous like American gangster was literally made in the bronx..so it just begs one to think that there has to be that kind of drug war/mugging crime going on
first off im pissed at how everyone disses nycpm..it's an awesome school..a lot of top podiatrist including dr. levine http://www.institutebeaute.com/dr_levine.htm graduated from nycpm who make seven figures a year. The classes, professors, and work load is still hard. It is by no means a joke at all. A lot of people who dont know anything about podiatry dont realize that you are in medical school and your work can't be taken lightly. I believe that's part of the reason why the drop out rate for pod schools is high. Also given that in 2008 everyone has to do the 3 yr residency (surgical), the boards have become really an almost mirror image to the usmle.
For everyone's information barry and cspm are the lowest pod schools out there not nycpm. A lot of ppl from barry transfer out of there to get into nycpm just b/c everything is soo disorganized and not together.
The positives of nycpm is that you dont have the typical *******s at dmu so everyone is supportive and concerned about graduating than trying to be the biggest jerk ever. Yes the school is like 100 yrs old so naturally things aren't as new.
I am not discrediting other schools at the end of the day if you study hard and have the numbers you can get into anywhere from any school. All I am saying is that nycpm is not a joke institution and we do not allow just anyone in. This year we are cutting our class size to 80 ppl from the original 100 ppl a few years back in order to increase the quality of student entering.
The reason why i chose nycpm was b/c the ppl were really friendly, nice, and supportive. I wanted this type of environment b/c I came from a prestigous undergrad. program and hated everyday of it. Like I said it's w/e school that you fit best in. This is to say choose the one that you are more likely to be comfortable and succeed in. Don't just choose the school that everyone thinks is the most prestigous b/c the climate of ppl in there can get to some ppl and really hurt their academic progress.
Btw. i only mentioned Dr. Levine b/c she is the most influential female podiatrist to the field. This statement was made so that everyone can realize that you can still go as far as ppl from other institutions. When i first got on here i was just shocked on the discrediting that everyone was giving nycpm that's all. I realized later that they had no idea what they were talking about.
FYI I still thinks it's easier to get into barry than nycpm.
period i dont want to hear any negativity about nycpm b/c it is comparable to the rest of the schools..it's Feli fault for just going out of his way to show that nycpm is a joke or something.
