you need to have any scrub top you wear outside of anatomy lab embroidered with your name and the emblem. i would reccomend getting max 3 shirts done! should be more than enough!

@Ellesandra319 do guys and girls have to be shirtless during OMM?
Click to expand...
unless you have a religious exemption or some other approved accommodation, guys are required to be shirtless + athletic shorts and girls are required to be in sports bras + athletic shorts or biker shorts. important to note though you come to OPP lab with those items *underneath* your school scrubs, and only remove your scrubs when it’s time to practice! (usually there’s 10-20 minutes of lecture / review before you actually practice in OPP lab)

@NOLADO84 can I ask how much you spent on tuition+living expenses for all 4 years? I understand if you dont wanna answer.
 
math-wizo said:
@Ellesandra319 Hey! Not sure if this was asked but do you think WCUCOM's yearly student budget of 70k (tuition+living+misc) is accurate?
Click to expand...
is yours 70K? or are you estimating because our 2nd year budget is higher and our first year budget was higher than 70K. but either way yes i felt like it was more than enough. i personally lived in a more expensive city on a 35K/year pre-tax salary for many years, so maybe i was just used to that, but yeah 44K a year with no taxes coming out was more than enough!

i know people have different thoughts on this, but I do suggested either taking out the max if you’re on your own financially like me, or being a little generous with your budget if you’re not gonna take the max, because you don’t wanna be in a position where you run out of money in say november or april! but that’s just my opinion!
 
drthedude said:
Our budget is $87,500? Where are you seeing 70k?
Click to expand...
ahhh perfect that sounds about right! 44-46K of that should be tuition and the rest (87.5k-46k) is the max you can loan for living expenses (at least for federal loans, can’t speak for private). that will come in 2 disbursements (one in late august and one in january).

Probs wouldn't do this. I have on good authority one of the clubs is gonna be doing personalized Patagucci this fall and it'll be cheaper to purchase through the club!

Sorry if this is a dumb question but does anyone know if they are officially done interviewing? I've seen in past threads they have sent a few II in June, but this cycle also seemed more competitive than previous ones so I wasn't sure...

When I asked 2 weeks ago for my alternate list rank, they said they stopped interviewing applicants. That could change though depending on how fast waitlist movement is. I’m pretty sure they will move onto the deferred list next before interviewing more applicants. Best of luck to you!

What’s the market like in America right now? All used cars prices are inflated in Canada and waitlists for new cars
