I also really like the fact that NYCOM conducts research. NYCOM's health center had the capabilities to treat students with OMM. That really shows they stand behind what they are teaching. Also, it is very superficial but I really liked that there were so many windows in the OMM lab (I really like natural lighting) and I am not sure but I think there were windows in the Gross lab as well. It looks like students are give a lot of opportunities to get a great education." More from this Member | Report Response

"School is technologically advanced- have robot simulated patients" More from this Member | Report Response

"The campus is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is like being the middle of a forest. The facilities are very clean and look new (don't forget the school was funded recently in 1977). The school is 30 minutes from Queens if you know how to get there. Basically, any major department store/ restaurant is within close driving distance. As soon as you get out of Old Westbury and into the city, you'll get anywhere. This is New York. We have tons of subways, trains and busses. While the school only has 2 buildings they seem to use, the buildings are large. Surprisingly, the school has a high tech simulated patient they let you use. I know this since they charge you a special fee to use this robot. Before the interview, they gave you the residency listings for 2004 and I was very impressed with the wide choices of residencies DOs were able to obtain (ER, orthopedic surgery, surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics etc..) This openness impressed me. The 4 medical schools I interviewed at didn't even give you this info! They also gave you a whole lecture on how much to school will cost and about financing options. What I enjoy most about the school is the laid back attitude the students and faculty seem to have. It's hard to explain what I mean, but you can feel it in the air. I really don't care about the large class size of 260 since I am used to large class sizes and they do get good residencies anyways. It is little concern to me how long I cut up a cadaver or how long I can speak to a lecturer. What really matters is what kind of residencies I can get. This is one of the most underestimated schools in the nation and I was happy to get accepted on June 23rd. Also, the school is the only one I know with a very fair admissions department. I got a 31 MCAT, 3.73 avg and Biochem major and all the Med. Schools rejected me. This was the only one I got in to! Thank G-d for one fair school out there!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was positively impressed by the 2nd year medical student who took us on the tour. She was great for getting questions answered, and we got to see the OMM lab, the Anatomy lab, and the ICC (Institute for Clinical Competence). The other interviewees were impressive as well, as I noticed that I had a lot in common with many of them. The NYCOM match list and the breadth of rotation sites where one can learn in the 3rd and 4th years is important. Also, an interviewer ate his lunch with us and spoke to us, very conversationally, about his life in medicine. He seemed like he would be a very good teacher/mentor at the school. I have the utmost respect for people who don't always need the barriers of rigidity and heirarchy, but rather, show a humane willingness to reach out to all. That, to me, explemplifies what osteopathic medicine should be about. " More from this Member | Report Response

"A lot! After asking some questions that my friends in medical school told me I should ask, I found out some things that really bother me. I asked students rather than the tourguides, because they are supposed to only tell you good things about the school, or at least neutral ones. So here's what concerns me: 1-They don't know what the cirriculum will be for next year. That worries me because med school is hard, and I want to know exactly how they're going to teach us. For this year, they are completely system based, which means they start out with a ''Fundamentals'' course, which according to the students was a MESS of whatever they felt you should know. There is only one exam per system, and then you have a re-test a week later. They said that 40 percent of the first year class failed the Fundamentals exam, and the same amount failed the neurology exam. That is a lot for me, and apparently the exam was not reflective of the material presented in class. It even contradicted some of it! To make that even more concerning, the students said that the only thing they're sure will change for next year is that they are getting rid of re-tests, so that means that you're dependent on one exam for 6 weeks of lecture. Doesn't seem fair. Especially if the exams aren't ''fair'' to begin with 2-The dean will only meet with students as a whole class in class meetings. There is no open dorr policy, and you can't make an apointment with him unless you are failing out. 3-They are supposed to post the slides on the internet for each lecture ahead of time, as well as have the printed handouts waiting for you in your mailbox, but unfortunately the students said that for the last system they haven't had the notes online or in the mailboxes until AFTER the lecture. It just seems like NYCOM makes a difficult experience even more difficult, as well as unorganized Also... the cost is insane!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The first thing that negative thing about the school was the location. 35+ miles or so out of Brooklyn, Long Island didn't feel like it had a lot going on that I would be interested in. It was just rich suburbia. Most of the students I talked too said they came to NYCOM because they are from Long Island or the New York City area and wanted to stay there. It seemed more about location to anyone I met than anything else and the location didn't impress me. The campus was not warm, inviting or pretty. None of the students besides our hosts smiled or greeted our tour group. The gross anatomy lab appeared to be fairly cramped and there were 6 people to a body which seems like a lot compared to other schools. The class size is huge (300 students) and there wasn't any common areas that students could collaborate together. The cafeteria looked as if it could fit maybe a 100 people at maximum capacity. After adding in the cost of living and expected expense (with a potential 7% increase in tuition a year) NYCOM's estimated cost was ~$63,000. Which means that average student will have about a quarter of a million dollars in debt (not including accrued interest) from the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

Tuition is FORTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR 07-08, WITH AN AUTOMATIC 7% INCREASE EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!!! Mandatory student health insurance is ~$3,000, with an AUTOMATIC 10% INCREASE EVERY YEAR! The woman from financial aid was very very VERY blunt. She said that if our parents aren't helping us pay for med school, we should reconsider NYCOM. She also said: ''If you're parents aren't going to be helping you, and you have bad credit, NYCOM is not the place for you. You don't want to come here.'' The school offers NO financial aid.. no loans, no grants...nada. Cafeteria is SOOO TINY. I don't think it can hold even half of their entering class (~320). The Problem Based Learning program. In it, you don't even take Biochemistry as a foundation to build off of. The only class you take outside of the PBL seminars and things is OMM and Anatomy. My interviewer apparently teaches in several different courses.... made me question the size of their faculty... No on campus housing. The students there didn't look like doctors-to-be.

Many seemed to go there because they lived in the tri-state area and didnt really pick it for academics, etc. The school is in Old Westbury which is an expensive area in Long Island, NY.

"Well, I know NYCOM outside of this interview and always held it in high esteem. Unfortunately they did NOT put their best foot forward that day and it made me re-think a lot of things. Basically I didn't feel like they were trying at all to impress us and that we were supposed to impress them. Other schools made it a point to say that we were interviewing them just as much as they were interviewing us. We were stuffed into a room for hourse, the financial aide lady didn't talk to us and they "lost the hand outs" she gave them to give us so we have no idea how much the school will cost overall. Also, the asst financial aide person was there but "doesn't speak in front of people"... ok then. They "didn't know" exactly what the cirriculum is like this year for lecture based students and "didn't know" what it will be like next year, esp since it's changed 3 times in 4 years. We weren't given the offer tosit in on any classes. The students admitted to not knowing eachother and fourth year still meeting people they've never seen.

THe students were extremely stressed out. They said that they get an average of 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night. All the tests taken are in a weeks time, so you have 8 tests in a week rather than spacing it out. Their pass rate for the COMLEX is very low compared to any other osteopath school. They do not have a lot of lab classes, slides are shown during lecture. There is no where close to live to the school. I want to live as close as possible since med students are on campus so much. The admissions director kept pushing that students can go into allopathic residencies. If I wanted to go into an allopathic residency I would have applied to allopathic schools! I found it very upsetting, it seemed like they were puting down their own profession. They wouldn't stop talking about money. We all know how expensive it was before we applied. They seemed like they are very unhelpful if students run into money problems. Other schools that I applied would give students emergency loans of upto 20,000 in two days if needed. I left very, very unhappy. " More from this Member | Report Response

I also wasn't too impressed with the school's facilities. However,as a caveat, I might have come in with grander expectations of the school, based on what others have told me.
