How do students find housing 4-8 weeks at a time for other DO schools? Do they just crash with a resident or do the rotations have housing setup? Do the students have to pay double rent in some instances?
I submitted my secondary on 8/24 but I wasn't marked complete until the middle of December. Then placed on hold at the beginning of January, and the II was sent on Jan 15th. The interview isn't until 3/26
me!
current 4th year here. So basically, any rotation you're placed on, meaning one that the school set up, there will be housing provided in both 3rd and 4th year if it is >60 miles from school. The housing can range from pretty sketchy (janky old houses with mouse traps etc) to normal apartments, to hotels. I got lucky and only had 1 away rotation and was put up in the janky old house I mentioned lol. But it was about a 1 hour commute and the doc only worked 3x a week so I commuted unless there was a snowstorm predicted. So unless you choose to pick somewhere far away, the school provides it at no additional cost to you and no extra work is required.
Thank you for answering my question! I was actually just accepted yesterday so your response is well-timed.
My prereqs are incorrect too, for classes that I definitely took. I wouldn't sign up for anything especially if you know you already did it. I think its a matter of reaching out and setting the classes straight. I'm assuming it has to do with course descriptions or something like that.
Thank you!! ❤️
complete 8/22
yes! they can be all over the place, you dont have a "base hospital"
What is your favorite thing about the school? What pushed you to decide for Marian? If you don't mind me asking.
I liked that it was a DO school that had the small university feel so you could focus and study when you needed to, but was 15 minutes from a big downtown for when you wanted to go out and relax! on interview day the school was very supportive and you could tell that the general atmosphere was just chill and not cut throat. i thought the education they provided us with was great and prepared me for boards. they also handled the covid situation pretty well...they looked out for us a lot and worked out a lot of different options for us in regards to celebrating match day etc.
Hey! Hope you're doing well.
I tried to rotate in michigan and reached out to a couple places, not msu though, and they said they only take their base students for 3rd year core rotations. i think that will be the case for msu as well. we are affiliated with lots of different hospitals across the country but what that means is that there have been agreements set up with them so if you found a preceptor to take you, it would be quicker and faster to get the paperwork going. mucom doesn't send students there though and i really haven't heard of anyone doing all of their rotations there. like i said, typically reserved for their students and affiliated schools like a caribbean school etc.
Same I submitted all the required documents in late August and received the completion email couple of minutes agoReceived the completion email today. However I have been complete on my end since late Aug
How long did it take to hear back after receiving the completion email?
Still have not gotten a complete email and my portal showed completion of all my paperwork, etc. in like October haha
Is it pass/fail or grades?
It sounds like you’re rather indifferent about the chance to advance your application standing. I’d say, given the lack of enthusiasm, you should pass. Save the money and time.
i believe it is a traditional A, B, C... system.
Grades!
i am wondering how full the class is also. I did see earlier on this thread that someone got an ii and said the dates available were in late april... so i assume if they are interviewing people that late then the class must not be full yet? But I really have no idea.
There's 68 people in the Facebook group for MUCOM Class of 2025 for what that's worth. Keep in mind obviously that this isn't completely reflective because not all accepted students join the FB group. Good luck with your interviews!
There's a group me! You can join here
Thanks so much!There's a group me! You can join here
Congrats! Did they happen to say how full their class is getting during your interview? My interview is on 3/26 and worried by that time I'll just be waitlisted no matter how well the interview goes
Hey I’m sorry they did not mention seat availability. They said that may 1st is the deadline for the second deposit so they have a lot of movement on the waitlist on the 2nd if that were to be an issue. They are interviewing through April so I would be hopeful that they will still be offering outright acceptances.
That is definitely reassuring. Thank you very much and congrats again!
No problem. Thank you!
+1.... i really hope we get pulled off. Fingers crossed!!
+1
Do you mind sharing your stats? OOS or IS? URM?
