So, once again, for clarification purposes: 

How is it that lower list numbers in the 39's and 40's are being called before higher ones. Mine is mid 36xx but no e-mail as of yet. 

 it also appears on the official list under cert expiration date is April 7. What does that mean? 

Certification sequence number is 697...whatever that also means...

Don’t worry about the certification expiring. When you see a new certification it means DCAS sent a list of names to consider for appointment.   You’re still “on the list”   
the certification sequence number tells you how many people are AHEAD of you. So, there are 696 names with a list number lower than yours who are eligible to be considered for appointment

Just got an email saying my Day 2 of class, the first in-person day, time has changed from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm on the 31st. I don't know if that's true for everyone but thought I'd throw a heads up just in case. 

Me too!

All these keto meal plans I've seen are super expensive like 190 a week got 18 meals a week for 6 days breakfast lunch and dinner...

They are very expensive, which is why I prepare and cook my own food. I live alone, so it’s actually quite simple for me

I'm almost certain they are not testing for ketones. I did the medical before and it seemed like a sugar test. Uncontrolled diabetes means sugar in the urine. I was in a state of ketosis when I did the medical and I passed. How's the keto diet working for you?

I was in ketosis, and 18 hours fasting during my medical. They  were using multi stix, but the nurse didn’t say anything about ketones.   Btw, IF and Keto have allowed me to lose 50 pounds since January 2021

I know. You said it was due to your BMI. Dee bees is 32-33. I believe BMI above 34 triggers a sleep study

Mine is 33.6, and I cleared medical

I'm sorry man. That sucks. That's exactly what I'm afraid of happening to me. My BMI's hovering around 32-33 roughly, which is right under the wire. Figure I got a week or two to try to shed some pounds to help it. My blood pressure's right at the edge too, hovering between 120/75 to 135/95. Need to get that down too. I've been prepping for this medical for a couple years now, losing almost 100 pounds so far and staying active but even with that I'll be able to slide by only if I'm lucky it looks like. Hope they let you take your shoes off before weighing you. lol

Congratulations on the weight loss!  Well played!  They subtract five pounds for clothing and shoes. Your BMI and pressure are on point too. If your neck circumference is LESS than 17 inches, and EKG are normal, you’re golden. Good luck

I lost my diploma and they are not giving new ones. Had to get a transcript with my graduation date on it 

An official transcript will work just fine. Hurricane Sandy destroyed my diploma, I had to get the transcript too....

I used my SSN (social security number). I searched for that same question on this forum.  They really need to update that instruction.  Please do it before appointment.  

Yes. That’s an error   I had to redo the questionnaire during my medical

List 161*

Cert 20* 

Drug Screen 7/7/21

I got sworn in today 7/27 for the 8/30 class. I have to buy some gray shirts with a collar, are short sleeve shirts ok ?

Also there was a bag on Amazon that was highly recommended that didn’t have backpack straps or wheels, anybody remember or have a link ?

My only advice is to make sure all your paperwork is in order. Good Luck to everyone (especially the fat neck gang) !

Read the CR forum. The link can be found somewhere in the last five pages

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update. I received an email from Ms. Vargas with a conditional offer for final processing. Finally!! 😁 

List number 15XX 

163x/ 21x here. How close am I to you on the list?

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I've been aiming my life for years now to get this position and now that it's in view I'm so anxious about screwing it up.

I did see this posted after a quick search in a bus exam thread on here where someone had a similar question

"2) Your driver's license must be VALID in the State of New York for a minimum of three years before you are hired!
a) If you can operate a motor vehicle with a license issued from the United States state/commonwealth of  insert name of state/commonwealth here in the state of New York for the past three years, then your license is valid in the state of New York."

I'm hoping that means I'll be fine. I'll have to turn in my paperwork with my ID now from the state we just moved from, and then re-submit it with my Jersey license and my driving transcript once I get it. Hopefully that'll be good. 

You will be a ok. Good to go 

you can drive in New York with a New Jersey license, therefore it is valid in New York.  They ask for an abstract from states other than NY. They can be ordered online

Fact. Gotta walk before we run. Anything that helps me learn the job before I have to do it myself is much appreciated 

If anyone from this thread gets called for the MEDICAL (not the pre employment drug test), please inform us here. 🙏🏻 thank you

I noticed everyone who is called in is asked to bring in their birth certificate. If we can’t find it do they allow us to use our valid US Passports instead ? 
 

I moved and can’t locate my birth certificate but requested another from NY state which takes weeks to come in the mail. 

Yes. If you read the letter it says birth certificate OR valid Passport.

Does anyone know if you're allowed to have a part-time job while being a train operator?

It needs to be approved by transit. There was a disclosure form in the paperwork they sent

Do you look at the certification sequence #?

YES. That’s how many candidates are ahead of you. There are also 100 vacancies in this certification

The certification list was updated. Impossible for you to be in the 300s

I don't understand, I'm 5x and haven't got a call. What is the number that they called you from?

If they called me, I missed it. I received an email from nyctransitops@nyct.com 

check your spam , it could be there?  Otherwise, call 180 in the morning. Can’t get through? I’d go in person. Good luck!
