GET YOUR HEP B TITER DONE <3

Haha, ahead of you on that one.

A word of advice to everyone who needs one done: Your doctor will probably try to convince you that you don't need a quantitative and a qualitative will suffice. Explain that they specifically request the quantitative.

I had to convince my doctor of that, then they went ahead and ordered a qualitative and I got the blood draw, then I got the result back and needed to get another order and do another blood draw to get a quantitative titer.

At least I don't have to get my Hep B shots again, though.

Hey did anyone that submitted an update receive a confirmation email?

 

[Tchotchke]

Hey did anyone that submitted an update receive a confirmation email?

hey hey don't believe they send them as a rule but it doesn't hurt to call the office and confirm receipt that way. Plus it shows you're interested. Don't know if it helps your chances but it certainly wont hurt. Good luck!

GET YOUR HEP B TITER DONE <3

Is this something that takes a long time in particular?

 

[21Rush12]

Fun fact: the ‘B’ in hepatitis B stands for ‘Bane of my existence’, named for the arduous process required at every step in the vaccination process.

Hey did anyone that submitted an update receive a confirmation email?

I did for one of my updates in the past but didn't for one last week. Also, I have been trying to geta hold of admissions since last week but wasn't able to until this morning. Apparently, some aspect of their system is down so that might be why the confirmation emails weren't sent out and it was why their phones weren't working yesterday.

More like its another thing that would take away your focus and time at school if it turns out you need to restart the immunization series during school. Get your quantitative done soon. if its a good #, great. if not, then youll have to get the shot again with another blood test some time after the first pretty sure. Its hassle you want to just get out of the way

Where are the pre II rejections!

For those of us who are accepted, how do we get access to the accepted students facebook group?

Did anyone else not hear back who interviewed on 2/12?

I didn’t hear back!

 

[FUTUREDOCED]

I didn’t hear back!

I interviewed on 2/26 and haven't heard back. Anyone know when the next round of decisions are coming?

 

[bunnybutt3000]

I just called (about something else) and they said the next and last committee meeting is in a week and a half. So I am assuming that means they meet on April 25 to tell us April 27.

 

[mangogreen]

Do you think there won’t be any decisions released next wednesday?

If they have already released all their decisions from the last meeting, then no.

I assume they will discuss many dates at the next committee meeting

 

[21Rush12]

FWIW, historically everyone gets a decision by 4/30, although things do change.

 

[mangogreen]

Accepted this morning!

 

[FlavivirusProtease]

@21Rush12 Are individual apartment rooms assigned or is it first come first serve? I'm from the west coast and I want to know if I should fly red eye to get there super early in the day to get a good room or if it won't make a difference.

I'm booking my flight on points so I have my flight booked like 2 months before move in so there are still seats left.

 

[shloop24]

Accepted!

 

[FUTUREDOCED]

Accepted!!! So excited. Congrats to all those who were accepted

From what i remember, rooms are assigned.

 

[FUTUREDOCED]

Are you all February interviewees per chance?

I interviewed 2/26.

 

[terrapintennisplayer]

Got waitlisted lol
Don't really care too much though hahahaha

 

[FlavivirusProtease]

Have another acceptance or just been completely numbed by the process?

 

[shloop24]

Early March

 

[JKetlerP]

I'm scared to ask but did any of you interview mid-March, or close to it?

What do you mean? Bedrooms are assigned but they’re basically the same. No reason to fret, we make move in and orientation pretty seamless and stress-free as possible.

Is there a roommate matching process?

 

[21Rush12]

Is there a roommate matching process?

Not to my knowledge, honestly its a class of 200 about 50/50 distributed between M/F.

Edit: this is not correct, there IS a matching process based on surveys as @Tchotchke points out below. My bad!

 

[terrapintennisplayer]

Have another acceptance or just been completely numbed by the process?

Both but probably more the former.
I would probably hate life more if I didnt have one under my belt lmao.

 

[jackie29]

Accepted! Interviewed 3/6. So excited!!

 

[omgitshappening]

Accepted this morning!! Interviewed 3/5

 

[m185329]

Still no action for anyone in late March right? I interviewed March 22nd.

Can't believe how many acceptances are going out! I'm loving this late-cycle action, makes me hopeful!

Waitlisted today Interviewed 3/19. Good luck!

 

[21Rush12]

Damn, so if you interviewed 3/6 and didnt get notified today of acceptance or waitlist, is it safe to assume post-II rejection?

Don’t assume! You never know what the committee got through or didn’t. You’ll hear in due time and I’m rooting for you!

 

[JulesMed]

Anyone who interviewed 3/8 here anything?

 

[H_Scheck]

I haven't been very active on this thread. Is it safe to chalk NYMC up as a rejection?

If you haven't had an interview yet, it appears that they're done interviewing for this season.

If you've been waitlisted, they haven't started moving people off the waitlist and will likely begin a week or so into May.

Didn’t interview. Thanks friend!

 

[jayhiller21]

Is there a roommate matching process?

Yes, they'll email you about it. It's just some basic questions about living habits, I'm a current student here and it worked well for my roommates and I.

 

[Tchotchke]

Is there a roommate matching process?

yes there is! When you apply for housing, there will be a questionnaire about living habits (noise levels, cleanliness etc), and even hobbies! The school really reads this form and tries to put people who will get along together. I have many friends who were matched with people with common interests: basketball, video games, wine (btw there is a Wine club) whatever you like feel free to jot it down.

You’re right, I completely forgot about this!

 

[dapperdoc]

Officially rejected. Good luck everyone!

 

[DelayedGratification]

Officially rejected. Good luck everyone!

Just today? Pre or post II? Email or portal?

 

[dapperdoc]

Just today? Pre or post II? Email or portal?

Today through email. Pre-II.

 

[fluffystitch626]

Rejected pre-II today after being on hold for... over half a year now! I'm just glad to have closure at this point. Congrats to everyone who was accepted and best of luck to all those waitlisted

 

[hebrewBAMmer]

Just got rejected. Complete 7/6, on hold since 2/27. About time lol

 

[FlavivirusProtease]

Waitlisted 04/16, the saga continues xD

On the bright side, you won't have to wait very long to see waitlist movement. Traffic day is only 2 weeks away! Around 75 people come off the waitlist, it's not over yet.

 

[medstudent257]

Rejected pre-II

 

[mnbmnb]

Has anyone with a 3/22 interview heard back?

 

[FlavivirusProtease]

Has anyone with a 3/22 interview heard back?

I think earlier in the thread someone said they called in and the admissions office told them the last committee meeting was today. They usually release on Thursdays and Fridays, so you'll probably hear back soon.

 

[rathoarder]

I will likely be withdrawing over the next few days, hope it goes to one of you folks!
