5 prompts in the 2025-2026 cycle
Please select your intended residency track below and discuss your reasons for this choice, how the pre-medical experiences listed on your AMCAS application confirm your commitment to this field within the context of primary care, and why you have chosen this medical discipline over others you have explored. If applicable, please explain how your academic interests or personal journey may have influenced your residency track selection.
Do you have any personal, professional, or educational ties to the Long Island, NYC-metropolitan or Tri-State (NY, NJ, CT) Areas? If so, please describe how these connections have influenced your decision to apply to NYUGLISOM and how they may impact your future plans to practice medicine.
Please comment on any significant fluctuations in your academic record or inconsistencies in your MCAT score; if you took a leave of absence for any reason during college; or any application irregularities that you feel would be helpful for the admissions committee to consider when conducting its holistic review of your credentials.
If you have graduated from college, please tell us what you have been doing since that time up until the present and your reasons for doing so? (Please be sure to account for all your time since graduating, including your plans for the upcoming application cycle.) Please also discuss how these experiences have informed you of your understanding of primary care and chosen residency track. If you are still in college, what factors influenced your decision to apply to NYUGLISOM directly from undergrad? Please also tell us your planned academic, extracurricular, research, community service and/or work activities for the upcoming application cycle and how any of these activities align with your interest in primary care and chosen residency track?
Please feel free to share any other information that you have not already included in your AMCAS application or secondary responses that you believe would be relevant for the admissions committee to know about.
