Hi Guys,
Since I am seeing a lot of the same questions that popped up on last years thread, I am giving you the link.
http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=452627
Since I live in the area I can not comment on the hotels. As for the airports, LGA (LaGuadia) is the closest but DO NOT PLAN ON FLYING IN ON THE DAY OF INTERVIEW. There are always delays and LGA usually has to many flights going in and out leading to delays!
If you are in town for a few days, get a guide book on NYC. There are a million things to do and you can get around on subway alone for many of them.
Good Luck!
I got my secondary.... filling it out right now i'm so excited..... this may be a dumb question but did you all type ur application?

Yup, I wrote an email to him he got back to me in about 24 hours.
Me too. I wonder how big of a group they'll have.
1 right here!!!.. have yet to submit the secondary though 😳
Ohio and you?
ohhh yeah I remember now from the OU thread, from Ohio but despises OSU! 😛
I'm from Ohio but will be coming up from Philly so it's just a Chinatown bus ride away!

I'm flying into La guardia and then using cabs. There's a ton of hotels. I would call and find one that gives discounts to interviewers. I was lucky enough to have points to stay at the Fairfield for free.
LGA tends to have a lot more delays than JFK. I try to avoid LGA like the plague when I fly into NY. Sometimes it is unavoidable though. 😎
I got rejected??? 😕
What the hell, they don't even have my MCAT yet!!
Man shot down without even a chance. Better get used to the rejections I guess.

that's crazy! you should give them a call or something.. you're GPA is not even bad.. what are they basing this rejection on!? They should at least put you on hold until your MCAT scores come in.
EDIT: i guess its based on your AACOMAS-- as you boldly noted
Lol, the e-mail had AACOMAS bolded, I just copied and pasted.
Anyway I called the admissions office today. Turns out there was a computer glitch. The email I should have recieved was one simply stating that they had not yet recieved my MCAT scores, so I had to get myself un-rejected. Crazyness.
Now I gotta go call LECOM because its another school that seems to have rejected me prematurely.
wow that is some glitch!
Hey guys,
I saw some people used the same PS from their primary and some people rewrote theirs.
What do you guys who r students think about just adding some stuff to the original. I really like my personal statement and it seems like most of the stuff they ask for on the secondary can be found on the primary, just a quick way to make $200.
what do u think?

ok, silly question...for the personal statement part of the secondary, do they want us to include why Touro-NY as well? It's not explicitly stated, but I wanted to see if other people are including that info.
i wasnt going to
i just added why touro-ny, why osteo and then more about what i am doing this year - so not a whole lot more, but i wanted to use the space to address additional things on top of my primary statement.
it says something about getting an interview if u get the secondary in the email they send u

alright, dumb question alert:
for "employment history/health care experience" do they mean employment and/or health care experience, or only employment that was health care related?

You can't get to LaGuardia by subway. If you want to take public transportation there is a bus that runs there, but it takes forever and I wouldn't recommend it.
I would really suggest taking a cab. Depending on the time of day (rush hour) it can take a little longer, but it usually is about 20 minutes and will cost like $15-20.

Hey all! I'm one of the new students at Touro (MS-1) and just wanted to introduce myself. Can't wait to meet some of you during your interviews hopefully! Good luck to everyone. Just an added note, I moved here from Michigan, really didn't think I'd ever want to live in NYC before... and I'm totally loving it (when I have time to anyway, hehe).
Either or anything you think is relevant I would put down. The trick is to try and sell yourself to the admissions committee.
Hey Stormcrow501, I think you need to change your status to medical student. Congratulations and keep us informed about your experiences!
Can someone tell me where exactly we are supposed to report to on interview day? And do they need us to bring anything like passport etc? Thanks in advance!
haha good thinking...see you on wednesday!
If I can figure out where to go! =)
I'll look for the other suited and confused person on 125th!
I sent in my secondary a while ago, but haven't heard anything. Is it better to call or email?
BTW, good luck to you interviewees!

I would just call them. I received an interview invite the day they received my secondary.
Thanks!
good luck to us all! At least two weeks isn't that long, but it doesn't help me wanting to obsessively check my email!
