He didn't say I was not in final review but just said "your folder will be reviewed by a supervisor once your number is reached"

Oh aright cool man. 3 more weeks until we hear something. Got a guy on here in the 90s so hopefully he'll let us know when he gets the call.

Just called dcas and it says "you are not currently on an outstanding certification"..last week it was different. I guess a week or.two from now it'll change back. Guys that have gone through the process have said they go from outstanding to not outstanding then et switched to outstanding right before the calls go out..and last eligible appointed was in the 80s from october class

And did it ever say you were outstanding? From reading this forum religiously for about a year now and watching other people get called into academy. That's the common thing. To get switched from not outstanding..to outstanding about 2-3 weeks before the academy start date. So I'll call in 2 weeks to check. Hopefully be on OUTSTANDING certification

How long are the medical a good for , and I'm in the 20's I'll post if I hear something
Dcas said they were up to the 80s. Did u differ the October class? Has a supervisor or your investigator called u recently to tell u you're on final review? Good to see u post here man. Keep us updated in the next few weeks

Just called DCAS, I'm NOT on outstanding certification. They said last appointed was 84, annoying because my number is less than 10 numbers away.......If only a few more people differed in September haha.

Maybe I misheard my investigator then when I told him I was medically cleared after getting reweighed when he told me that the supervisor is looking through my file. I'm in the high 500's- if they're only up to the 80's there's no way mine is being reviewed yet

What happens when you defer?
Do you go to the end of the list? How does it work?

So it gets complicated cause the correct and official way for them to defer you is remove you from the list and then you need to contact DCAS and FDNY CID to get put back on and they have a lot of inter agency paper work and communication to put you back on which gets confusing and can take weeks or months and you may not get back on in time for the next academy , the other and easier way to go about it is when they call you with the offer you need a legitimate reason why you can't do this academy but would be able to do the next one and they can just put a note in their system to call u for the next one and it's not an official declination, depends on the investigator that calls you with the offer and your reason
