Tips to Answer New York Medical College Secondaries
New York Medical College Secondary Timing: Most students will skip and answer “no” for NYMC secondary questions #1 and #2. Then, you can quickly answer the 300 character limit question about COVID-19. Submit this secondary right away. NYMC interviews typically last until February or March each cycle, and we strongly encourage you to prepare for its MMI through our Mastering the Multiple Mini Interview course.
NYMC Secondary Application Tip #1: Because the New York Medical College secondary specifically asks about disruptions during COVID-19, you should not mention what activities you did during the pandemic.
Topics our students have discussed include:
- Difficulties and disruptions in academic coursework, including transitioning to a home situation
- Taking care of family members who were sick
- Planned clinical, research, volunteering, and other activities that could not occur because of COVID-19
- Responsibilities of taking care of younger siblings
NYMC Secondary Application Tip #2: The New York Medical College secondary application is short, so you should submit this immediately. Get our help on other secondary applications through our medical school secondary application essay editing packages.
NYMC Secondary Application Tip #3: Given that the NYMC secondary is extremely short, doing well on your NYMC MMI interview is EXTREMELY important. Look at our specific tips for NYMC MMI interviews.
