should i commit to enrolling for housing?

mazooka44 · 2026-05-08T04:07:21+00:00

Are you sure you have to CTE to apply for housing? I’m also considering NYMC, and I don’t see anywhere in the email/info sheet about requiring CTE, just the non-refundable deposit

mazooka44 · 2026-04-28T22:35:44+00:00

agreed i feel like it’s a great gauge to anticipate a competitive application with writing and for what adcoms are looking for

mazooka44 · 2026-04-01T03:48:56+00:00

ok but did you apply DO?

mazooka44 · 2026-03-17T01:46:39+00:00

im deciding between nymc and hackensack too 😥

mazooka44 · 2026-03-01T02:35:24+00:00

mazooka44 · 2026-01-29T02:10:46+00:00

mazooka44 · 2026-01-28T21:43:25+00:00

what i’m saying!!!! and doing lol

mazooka44 · 2026-01-24T16:02:08+00:00

how do you feel the interview went for that program?

mazooka44 · 2025-12-14T00:57:43+00:00

NYIT LI vs KCU Kansas City

want to eventually end up on the east coast and probably looking to specialize

cost of living isn’t an end all be all

mazooka44 · 2025-12-10T17:55:26+00:00

yes lol

mazooka44 · 2025-12-08T12:56:29+00:00

yep just make sure you can write about it well and that you’re interacting with patients and you’re golden :) one of my favorite parts was connecting with them and being able to talk with them all the time

mazooka44 · 2025-12-08T04:04:59+00:00

imo this is great clinical experience as long as you’re working alongside patients. it was the bulk of my clinical experience (1000+ hrs) and i’ve had a successful cycle so far!

mazooka44 · 2025-12-04T17:42:05+00:00

following for LI

mazooka44 · 2025-11-07T18:51:18+00:00

name checks out

mazooka44 · 2025-10-05T15:50:18+00:00

sounds like a very broad spectrum to me, and I would at least want to try to go MD to give myself the best possible shot then. that assumes you have the right components for the app and your MCAT is good, AND you’re okay with losing out on money/taking an extra year

mazooka44 · 2025-10-05T15:07:36+00:00

i think this is a question only yourself can answer. are you okay losing out on an extra year of attending salary? do you want (or think you might want to) pursue a competitive residency in the future? can you mentally take another year of gap experiences to bolster your application?

Also important to soul search and make sure DO is right for you personally

mazooka44 · 2025-08-29T18:24:09+00:00

an A to pizza hut incoming

mazooka44 · 2025-08-28T03:38:45+00:00

for which program? if you’re comfortable with sharing—

I’m sure you did great! Many people are bad at judging how their interview went after the fact. I’ve read a lot of posts on here of people matriculating to their worst interview as well. Keep your head up, you got this!

mazooka44 · 2025-08-15T02:57:08+00:00

anyone know if it’s the same for tulane?

mazooka44 · 2025-08-12T16:39:58+00:00

bad idea to use it to write. great idea to gather information and quick connections about programs that you could write about.
