Well get yer motivation back because I'm pretty sure the classroom instruction aspect of school car will be set up similar to a college curriculum and if this is what you really want you CANNOT fail. That is not an option.

SubwayGuy you could not have said it any better.

Lol that explains it. You're an idiot. I graduated from a Bronx highschool with Merit, went to college 6yrs later (after my tour in the Marines and deciding 2yrs later to obtain a degree) and gradutated from college on the Presidents list (3.5 GPA or above). I really don't think the schools failed you. You failed yourself... college drop out.... I would give you some respect if you dropped out for financial or family hardship reasons but you failed out so just please do not blame the Bronx for you failing yourself...

You won't have to hope. *face palm*......smh...... Based on your comment I am truly sorry you did.....

Thinking about it you really can't knock the education in the Bronx. I've lived in the Bronx since I was 2yrs old, attended school and college here yet I scored higher than you on the exam and are higher on the list than you lol!!! What happen there?? Can't really knock the education can ya. Like another poster said every borough will have it's good and bad areas. That holds true no matter where you reside in the city. It's all dependant on where you chose to live. The Bronx actually has nice areas where it feels like your living in the suburbs believe it or not.

I have a score of 98.75 and live in the Bronx. What does the socio-ecomomic and education conditions have to do with them wanting to pick the B division??? I'm hoping for the A division simply because it'll be closer to home but I'll take either. So what your saying is because I scored high on the exam let me pick the B division because of the conditions in the Bronx??? That makes absolutely no sense what so ever sir...

Cool so I really hope those are the last of the promotionals. Hopefully there aren't anymore still waiting for classes.

Just go to the courthouse in the county where it happen and ask for a complete record. I think it'll cost about $25 for a copy. It'll list all charges/convictions you ever had.

Follow the instructions exactly and you will not have any issue. This booklet is actually pretty simple. It looks like a headache when you first recieve it but it really isn't that bad. Lucky for me I have only had about 6 jobs since highschool. I been at them each about 2-4yrs so I didn't have much to fill out in the employment section.

Tell me about it. This wait is worse than the 3.5 yr wait for the list to be established lol It's only been about 2 weeks since I went in for the pre interview but it feels like over a month ago..

She might have meant last person appointed was in the 70's... and more than likely the class that starts next Monday has thier 40 students.

Easy way to sum it up. When you get the letter/pre employment application then go to 180 and recieve the 21 page booklet follow the instructions and list what they tell you too. In the mean time if you havn't recieved the letter yet start gathering all your info (work history, arrests, convictions, driving history, past drug test results, civil services jobs applied too, etc) from your entire life and you won't have to worry about missing anything. From their all you have to do is follow the instructions in the booklet and you're good to go .

It's the same I believe not to sure. If you change your mind next year you would have to contact DCAS to reinstate your name back onto the list. You have until the list expires to do so.

140's here no call back yet for medical/final processing. Stil waiting....

You'll be just going in for urine and hand in your preemployment booklet. If you get thier early and are first to be seen you should be out not later than 0930. when I was there i was first in line and was back home by 0945.

I'm in the mid 140's. I did my urine test on 10/2. I havn't gotten a call yet to come back for the medical/final processing so don't be too worried. We may get our calls this week. If I get thru the medical I am already expecting to be placed in the 11/12 class.

I wonder when they will get to the 140's for medicals. I'm patiently waiting. Wonder how much they have hired so far for the Oct 22nd class..

Congrats man. Wow I never knew they would make calls so late in the evening. Hopefully I'll be getting my phone call in the next couple days for medical/final processing.

Read carefully that's why I said recent or multiple convictions.. Take it easy man....Someone is offended lol!!....

Yes there is a chance if it is recent or you have multiple convictions. Your operating a motor vehicle under the influence. Won't look to good with the MTA trusting that person to operate thier trains. Also DUI falls under the criminal courts jurisdiction.

Just write down your license and state where issued in booklet where it tells you too. Like Dan05979 said a driver license isn't really needed for this postion. They just want you to list it if you have one. From what the lady told me when handing in pre employment booklet last week she said they are more just concerned abut DUI's if anything. I had listed my violations but she made me remove that page and put N/A on the blank one.

The driver abstract the NY DMV will give you only goes back about 3yrs for traffic violations I believe. If you said it's been 12yrs since your last ticket then your abstract will print out with no traffic violations or points listed. Suspensions/revocation/DUI's will show on it if within the past 10yrs. I went to get mine printed last week to help fill out the 21 page booklet and not one ticket showed up on my abstract. It has been over 5yrs since my last moving violation. Only thing that showed up was when I switched over my North Carolina driver license to a NY driver license... Could have kept that $5 in my pocket You will just have to do your best to remember all the dates/tickets you recieved as the MTA will be able to obtain them all.

In the 21 page booklet yes they will ask you to list all traffic violations you recieved. They will ask you to list license suspensions/revocations as well.

The 799 you saw is from the conductors open competitive list. They have only called up two about the mid 300's on the train operator open competitive list... MTA is currently hiring from a couple lists right now for different jobs. After these 3 planned classes for T/O it will depend on how many more (retirements, resignations or terminations) are needed. Remember not all 120 hired by December will complete school car. If 20 people don't make it pass school car they will have to hire 20 more by spring in addition to other planned classes to make up for that loss.

Now I'm a bit worried. I'm hoping if I get hired for the October class. I would have been able to at least put in a 2 weeks notice with my current employer. That's only about 2 weeks away. I am still waiting for a call back to do the medical/final processing.
