Should I attend NYMC interview?

Hello everyone,

I have recently recently been invited to interview at New York Medical College and am debating if I should go. I have already been accepted to VCU and Loyola, and doing some searching on here seems to show that most end up choosing these schools over NYMC. However, these posts are from several years ago so I am unsure if things have changed. Furthermore, the interview is in March and I have planned a family vacation for those weeks. I could try to reschedule it, but it will likely cost us a lot of money.

What do you all think?

EDIT: To add, all of these schools are far away from home so there is no family factor for me. I believe NYC may be nicer to live in than Chicago, but it seems NYMC has lost most of its rotations in NYC? I would prefer to match on the east coast as well.

Is cost a factor in your decision? Might as well see if NYMC would accept you with a merit scholarship or something. If not, then Loyola and VCU are better choices

Doesnt NYMC only give out scholarships after the commit to enroll deadline?

Cost isn’t a huge factor but I’ll probably take a full ride or close to it

Some students have reported a 20k/year scholarship. I don’t know if they offer any more than that much, so it’s up to you to decide. NYMC is like an hour from NYC too.
