My guess this class finishes up In June, so maybe July if the instructors take a break.

For those that have been asking that applied for 7000 or 7031, I just called the automated DCAS number and got my list number from 7031. My list number is in the 20s I'm stoked. For those that want to call themselves the phone number is 212-669-1357 click 2 put in your social security number and follow the instructions. I am guessing that the letters will be coming in the mail some time this week or next week.
 
What happens to the high numbers? On exam 7000? After a certain number do those get disqualified?

No if you are on the list you will be processed it will just take longer than those with a lower number. Did you happen to hear how many are on the list for 7000 when you called?
 
Can anyone confirm how many people were on the list for 6003?
 
Im currently doing medic school and applied as bls to fdny, I was thinking just to apply as als after I finish school but now people are saying I can't get in fdny if I'm als from the outside does this mean I can't work for the fdny because I payed for my own medic school? Is there any other way to get in for example if I'm a medic and work bls for them for how ever long I need to. Or if I'm a medic is that it I can't work for fdny?
 
Just heard from a Student probie doing rotations that count on deck is now 145 from 150, So the rumor that they are cutting the numbers back is true. They had 180 for several classes and 150 of now, They say the classes will go back to being smaller like before( who knows ).
With the large (180) number of classes from several months past and then the Transcare crew ( a large number ) taken into the FDNY EMS. The need for large classes is no longer needed.
Next class should be in July if the class rotation is still the same.
Means there are two classes left for 2017 into 2018 grad ( July-Oct graduate & Nov-Feb graduate )
Good luck to those on list 6003 still waiting. and the next list 7000 number keep busy and outta trouble.
I say you are looking at 2018/into early 2019 before you are called for a class.
Again Good luck to you all.

You absolutely can come in as BLS to the department and then apply for what's called a MUPS class. I have no idea why they haven't put out a civil service test for medics in a while. Rumors fly around like the wind blows, so I'm not so sure what to believe on the no more PTOP thing. Wouldn't make sense, since it cost the department a lot of money and more importantly, time to get a student through the medic basic class. And at a time where medics are needed, getting someone through the academy in three months versus nine, makes more sense.

i agree with you 1,000,000% mike. i really dont know why all the rumors are going around, especially since none of this has been confirmed by an official source on agency letterhead or the commissioner or something. im not too sure i believe the whole count on deck thing being true either. i dont care one bit which emt or medic in the department claims to know what they're talking about, i wanna hear it from an official source. not to mention DCAS released an emt trainee exam which train civilians to basic level training, which, by my guess, would be because they are trying to fill in all the open emt slots more quickly? i couldnt imagine why else they would release civilian exam, but hey, if someone knows better, inform me. just make sure its from an official source. i just really hope the whole count on deck being 145 is not true. the last appointed was #318 from list number 6003 and someone who is all the way in the 640's got called, which means they ran through roughly 300+ people. idk. if its really true then that means a longer wait time :(
 
Do you guys know how many tries we get for the physical? And any last minute pointers? I'm confident, but I got to physical date today and they gave me less than 2 weeks to prepare for it haha.
 
I'm trying to nail down my time frame and would appreciate any help.

I took exam 7000 and got list number 1xx (04/2017)

Can I expect to start the process with the physical agility test around August 2017 (4 months) or will the PAT come sooner for me?

I think I'll start the academy in early 2018, although I'm praying I can squeak into the Oct 2017 academy because of my low list number. How many people are left in exam 6003?

Also does anyone know if applying to the fire open competitive will cause any complications for me moving forward?

About 800 more and no, apply for the fire open competitive since it's separate.

1 chance. Trust me, focus on using a 40 pound weighted vest on a stair master a few times in the next two weeks and you'll be fine.
 
I'm list # 11xx for 6003, any chance I get called for the next class in June/July or is it unlikely?

I don't work out but wouldn't say I'm totally out of shape. I did the physical without any prep and passed, the weighted vest stair climb and hand bike were the most difficult but do-able if you're somewhat active. Like an earlier poster said focus on those two (mainly the stairs) and you should be fine. Good luck
