Marian University (MU-COM) Discussion Thread 2013 - 2014

[slw]

I greatly appreciate how active you have been in this forum, MU-COM. This level of attention to prospective students sheds great light on the effort you'll make to ensure students at MU-COM are successful. It hasn't gone unnoticed.

Is it safe to assume that most Alternate List movement took place in May, then? I realize there will be flux throughout the summer, but just to get a general sense.

Thank you, again, for your continued effort to keep us informed.

At this point, the class is full but movement will continue over the summer as deposited students withdraw to accept an offer from another medical school.

Hello Admissions,

I had a question about the Biochemistry requirement required for the subsequent application cycles.

Do we need to have a lab with Biochem?

Also, does it matter what the level of the course is as far as a 200 level vs a 300? Can it even be in the 100 levels and/or for non science majors?

Thank you

Hello, I am thinking about applying to this school, but I have not taken any sociology classes. I have all the other stated course requirements. For behavioral sciences I have two courses of psychology and two of anthropology. Will either satisfy the sociology requirement.

Hey guys, just a quick question for one of the current students. Is the Ipad you get from Marian already pre-progammed with certain software (special apps or something)? Or is it just a plain new ipad?

Thank youu!

The iPad comes with standard out-of-the box apps pre-loaded. During orientation, you will download and set-up other applications for textbooks, lecture capture, learning management software, and more.

Marian is partnered with hospitals throughout the state of Indiana, but what can be said of hospitals in areas like Jasper, IN? Can these small hospitals really provide the patient volume for valuable learning experiences? Will these hospitals only serve to provide the Rural/underserved part of the rotations? Will the required rotations be in the greater Indianapolis area, such as St. V's and St. Francis?

Do any of the current students or MU-COM know what the approximate cost will be for all the diagnostic supplies/tools/scrub kit?

Do any of the current students or MU-COM know what the approximate cost will be for all the diagnostic supplies/tools/scrub kit?

The cost of attendance (see the "Tuition and Fees" document in Volume 4 of the DO Series) includes $1,200 for diagnostic supplies.

• The total cost last year was between $900-$1000.
  
• As we finish negotiating the bundle price for this year, we expect it to be lower than last year. All OMS1 students will be required to purchase from the same vendor, though, unlike last year.

I'm assuming everything required for OPP and Anatomy will be included in this bundle? Also will there be the need for additional diagnostic supplies in upper years or is everything for next 4 years included in the bundle? Thanks!

There could be two separate bundles to purchase depending on the vendor(s) selected. The intent is to include everything for all 4 years, but this is not guaranteed.

Waitlisted. 2nd quartile. Not bad!

Does MU-COM release what "quartile" you are in?

We don't release that information. Sorry.
You will stay on the alternate list until you are either admitted, rejected, or no longer interested in MU-COM.

I just interviewed here this weekend despite having an acceptance elsewhere. I really liked what I saw and would gladly go here over where my current acceptance is. Here's hoping for some good news.
