I had classmates who were literally accepted two weeks before orientation. Hope is not lost yet.

Seems like they are trying to figure out who they can eliminate from their waitlist and who they can still pull, and who is willing to commit to the school next year if not admitted this year.

A little stressful because by signing that you relinquish all other WL you are holding for this cycle and aren't guaranteed a spot for this cycle at LUCOM

But it’s guaranteeing you a spot next year if you don’t get in this year, correct?

Was that the entire email, because it didn’t say you were giving up other WL spots.

Did they post the schedule of classes? if yes, can someone post it here or dm me, I can't find it anywhere. Also, did you prepare at all before school started? If yes, then how?

This is the academic calendar, scroll down to the bottom for 2021-2022. They won’t post the schedule of classes until right before orientation.

I didn’t prepare before classes started, I don’t think it’s worth it because you won’t be able to match the pace until you’re in there. At most I would say try to figure out how you learn best, and maybe dabble with anki to see if you like flashcards. Everything else will explained to you along the way, and LUCOM does a study series during the first weeks to offer advice on how to study, time management, etc. it’s really good and the speakers are all upperclassmen who have been successful.

Request access to the LUCOM class of 2025 Facebook page. They’ll be able to help you faster than waiting on someone to see this post.

Lots of students like the cornerstone area though. Some live in oasis which you can see from the school, and others live in Dreaming Creek, or anywhere on Timberlake. Almost everywhere is 5-15 min from the school, and most places are safe.

They do not, we were told it was because the medical school started 4 weeks ahead of the main campus, and has already dealt with any positive exposures during that time.

Additionally, the medical school building is physically pretty far from the main campus, and we don’t mingle with the undergrad students.

Just to verify, are you required to be vaccinated and wear masks?

 

[deleted1079620]

We must mask for all in person labs, and vaccines are required before starting 3rd year rotations. Vaccinations are strongly encouraged before then, and many free vaccination events have been set up for students through the school.

But no vaccine mandate for OMSI or II??

No, that’s a policy from the parent institution I believe.

Just because I know you’ve have a harsh view towards lucom and the politics of the parent institution…why are you asking these questions? There are other medical schools with these same policies and I haven’t seen you on their threads asking students about them.
