hey guys- I'm a first year here at NYMC. Mired in finals week. Yikes but I just wanted to toss ya guys some advice- be aggressive if the school you want to go to is your #1 and you haven't heard by now. I personally didn't do it for NYMC but I did for other schools and was suprised by the results.
I called schools I was strongly interested in interviewing at (Temple and Vermont) and was granted interviews. Didn't work at some other schools where I was a reach but I would try it for NYMC if you feel your numbers are at about average and higher. You might want to also think of sending a letter of interest (hold off on the intent until after you interview- personally I think it's less effective until post-interview) to the Director of Admissions- Carolyn Chiarieri. She's really nice and easily approachable. I dont know if they allow this because they might be busy but I've hear of people calling and scheduling meetings with the directors of admissions to explain their interest in attending X school.
Sometimes- the receptionists will be the hardest people to get thru to get to the director. They're there to screen and take messages, not be your advocate for your application. If you're getting blocked by them, try contacting the admissions dean/director directly via email. Maybe send that letter of intent via email and then snail mail to make sure she gets it.
