i would like to live near arizona state campus, it is about 20 min away from the school, would this be a doable commute?
Dislike this school.
I am not applying here again. I'm using that money to apply elsewhere.
Dude,
You got hurt by the waitlist, we all get it. Stop slinging mud, it's very unprofessional.

Nah. A medical school that lies to applicants is unprofessional AND shady. This school doesn't even have a real library either. I don't even know why they call it a library. There are barely any books. It's mostly just tables.
Good luck competing for the <80 spots that are probably left because of this school's irrational admissions process. I'm applying to better schools instead.
Thanks for your input, pink. I don't know why every year's SOMA thread degrades into this bitter bashing of the school, but I really am sick of hearing about it. My experiences as a premed with the school have been nothing but positive, and I'm glad yours have been too as a medical student.
I, for one, am going to ignore any other posts on this particular subject. I don't want to feed the fire.
Personally, I'd say that this is the thread for people who want to apply to this school or attend this school. Bashers, well you can be banned for that kind of stuff, and again, you don't want to apply, so don't... leave the rest of us to discuss interview dates etc...
I disagree, the title is "ATSU/SOMA (Arizona) Discussion Thread". That's what I am doing - discussing my experience. Not every school is perfect nor does every school deserve to be glorified simply because it is a medical school. I am allowed to dissent; it's called free speech.
I'll leave it alone. My message is clear and any applicant who reads this thread will know what happened last year. Hopefully SOMA fixes it this year but if they don't...well, don't say I didn't tell ya.
Secondary essay is killing me. Maybe I'm just trying too hard D:

Ok Soma, I have an interview in Arizona on Sept 24th, it would be really nice if you would go ahead and send me an invite and allow me to interview on the 23rd. Is that really so much to ask?

they have 1 interview date available. I think I will wait until they have a couple more as I cannot make 9/9/11.
i did. at exactly 9:01pm central time.
Anybody know how much time they give for you to make a decision? I know the deposits are 1000 dollars each, but do they make you give a deposit within 2 weeks if you are accepted?
The CIB gives deposit information for each school. I didn't look it up but I think they follow the AACOM guidelines for deposits, meaning that if you are accepted in the fall the deposit isn't due until December 15th. Again I didn't double check this, but I think it is true for SOMA.
If you are accepted in the spring, it is different. I think it is two weeks then.

Dang it. The 23rd is my azcom one. Too late. Could I tactfully email azcom?
If you called them and they said they have everything, then you're complete.
Seems like in last year's thread, they stopped sending out those confirmation numbers as well. So you have to call to check on your status.
