How can I find out the required weight before hand? I can work on it while I wait for the process. I'm 6ft and 184 now

I do not know where you can find the required weight. I think you will be fine. I was 6'2" and something like 220 when I took the medical. And at this point with a week and a half left, you wont be cutting much weight. Again, I do not know 100% that you are within the correct weight. Maybe someone that is 6' can chime in with what they weighed when they took the medical.
I am list number 11** and have yet to receive anything besides the conformation that they received my app. Should I be concerned?

Have you gotten yourself in trouble since you applied? They can drop you from the list for basically any reason they want at any time. This doesn't mean they did. If you have stayed out of trouble and have a clean background, I wouldn't worry too much. You can try calling the DCAS automated number to see what that says, but as explained in a previous post by myself a page or two ago, we don't have a clear understanding of how the DCAS system obtains your eligibility designation. Other than that, don't worry too much. Keep checking the mail every day like most of us have done for months if not over a year. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

Yes you should be concerned.
You got skipped.
It doesn't have anything to do with stuff that changed since you applied. Even if you got arrested, fdny doesn't know about all that until your intake, a meeting where you're assigned a investigator.
There are 2 reasons.
1- they skipped over your group of people, but that's unlikely, find someone with a similar number and see where they at. Fdny goes usually in order.
2-it got lost in the mail or you gave a wrong address, since you got a confirmation, it probably got lost, either at fdny or usps.
Call the fdny recruitment like, I thibk its like 718 999 fdny, and ask them, they will put you through to a investigator.
Call dcas, and see what the system tells you.
Good luck. The fdny process sucks, that's why you have to constantly be on it, call investigator, call dcas, check forums, etc. It's a job of its own
Thank you for the reply. I called the fdny number and the lady who answered sounded really excited to be there, so I got no help there. Is the physical given by the fdny or dcas?

Everything is given by fdny.
Dcas only gives you your score.
Whenever I called fdny the people were nice try agaib tomorrow they will help you

Hey guys! I hope everyone lined up for the next class is starting to get excited! Just over 2 weeks until they should start calling again if the class is set for a October 6th start date! September 15th should be the first day of calls going out! Has anyone heard anything to give a confirmation on the dates. I was given a 90% probability of the call start and class start dates from a buddy that asked around.

That's pretty much on point.
They will finish up 3024 and take a few people from 4004 to finish filling in the class. By calculations done, they will take around 30 people from 4004, up to list # 100.
People from mid/high 100s up to 400s will be called for January. I'm 25X and have 2 friends, ones in the 300s and ones in 400s, hopefully we can be in the same class, as we both live by each other haha

I also wanted to ask, has one heard/know of anyone completing the whole process (physical, intake, med and psych - passing everything) and then not getting a phone call?
Haha this waiting is driving me crazy -_-

So I'm #55* and taking my medical on Sept 9th. I just got notice that my employers, (both present and past) have gotten notices from the dept. I thought this only happened right before the academy or are they really rushing ppl in?

How did you find that out? They call you or you got something in the mail?
That's weird, I only heard of past employers getting stuff in the mail, not present. I have two present jobs, no past, and none have received anything about me and I am done with the process, just waiting on a call

My boss and past employers called me saying that they got something in the mail regarding Fdny. It sounds like a character/background check.

Have you been fired, suspended or got in trouble in any of your jobs?

I was fired from a previous job, but it appears that all of my employers got this form in the mail, not just that one employer.

Anyone have an idea when the January class is supposed to start?

DCAS Updated today! Apparently the list got up to 1114 from 3024 for the last class. It also now put me as "Not on an outstanding certification". I don't know what would cause this. Only thing I could think of is they are looking at everything one final time? Anyone know why you would be switched to not on an outstanding certification two weeks before they should start calling?

I'm 25X and I'm also not outstanding, it switched to that right before they called for july Academy. It seems not outstanding means you're in the next pool to be hired, depending how many people in front of you.
Maybe someone can chime in

I hope you are right. I saw one post a few minutes ago that seemed to agree with that. But at the same time, no one seems to truly know why it changes when it does. Hopefully they can get all the way up to your number!!!
