What process does an application go through when it's complete?

Are you planning to be inperson for interviews in the upcoming cycle?

Once COVID is under control, do you see yourself going back to inperson interviews?

Where does NYMC stand on receiving updates from applicants?

Do you encourage or discourage gap years? Or is it an individual decision in your opinion?

What recommendations would you have for the reapplicant to NYMC?

Is research something that's really important to NYMC?
