Yuup, LM 62 with two MD IIs and silence from most of my DO schools
I’m hoping so I haven’t heard anything yesterday and I interviewed October. My interviewer did say they release middle of the month on a monthly basis so it is possible let’s hope so
I’m also curious about this, doesn’t seem like students really wanna answer this 😭
Something to consider: every school has to report a ranking to the residency programs, so even if there isn't a public rank/grading system, there is still a rank based off your grades.
Interviewed 10/24 still nothing. IS as well
Hi I'm a current OMS-II and for our preclinical years there is just P/F and Honors. High pass is for clinical years. I feel personally that there isn't a comparison or "tier" system as much as you think there is. It will probably matter more in clinical years, but in my experience in pre-clinicals, it doesn't really matter. Most people just aim to pass since passing is what matters most.
For NYITCOM, we get "ranked" in quartiles as far as I know, meaning they say you are in the top 25% of the class, top 50% and so forth.
So few people get honors that it doesn't feel like a letter grading system. For class rank, the MSPE that residencies see will list if you were in the top 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, top third, middle third, or bottom third. They use different adjectives to describe students in each distinction as well.
Do students ever know their rank?
Completed end of June and haven't heard from them yet...very painful and long process
I think since the DO deposits were due yesterday hopefully there will be more II moving forward
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully, we get some news soon!!
Before Nov 15 A’s were due Dec 14, if you got an A after Nov 15 then you get 30 days from whatever day you got it
im trying to stay hopeful! i have a friend there now who didn't interview until march so better late than never hopefully!! i submitted secondaries on 6/6 and I'm in silence still
I would hold off on OMT books because I doubt you'll need them. I, nor anyone I know, uses any kind of outside OMT resources. You'll be fine with what the school teaches you. First Aid is pretty useful though, although you'll get free access to an online version of it from the school when they sign you up for ScholarRx.
Just the percentile distinctions I mentioned above. You learn once your MSPE is being finalized around late August of fourth year.
God damn wth
I don't want to dismiss what any of the current or former students have said, but I will say, just take everything with a grain of salt. One person's difficult challenge is another's easy success, point being, NYITCOM will be a different experience for most of us. I know a handful of current NYITCOM students from my HS or undergrad and they all really enjoy the school, curriculum, and academics
+1. I want to make it clear, I am in no way dismissing any other students' experiences at the school, but my first semester has gone by decently, despite being incredibly difficult and stressful, and I have enjoyed my time here. It depends on each individual student.
could you elaborate more on the weird polices that you didn't find out about until orientation?
Speaking only from my experience, I would say the former. The curriculum is challenging as would be expected from medical school, but there are enough good professors and resources that will help you pass as long as you're able to keep up with the pace and figure out how to study efficiently. The key being figuring out how to do so as early as possible in the semester.
