Actually, its quite the opposite. RVUCOM is now nationally known for it's four year military track and the training it provides for military students. We have had multiple Army Generals, Air Force Generals, and Navy Admirals on campus to present, and they all rave about the RVU military track! Also, If you look at the military match for residencies coming out of RVU, it's amazing. There are multiple lectures/presentations throughout the year by military folks on military medicine.My adviser warned me that there are still some shady situations going on at RVU, including a lot of the military supported programs being withdrawn.
Can any current student comment on worries like this and maintaining accreditation?
I personally think there are a lot of rumors and misconceptions spread about RVU that are blown out of proportion, but I would like to double check.
There is also this thing called the "cut suit" that is used for trauma surgery training, and it's incredible. The military students use if for trauma surgery elective week. RVU is the only school in the US to have them, and they are doing joint research with the military on these.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm happy to answer any more questions about the school. Good luck to those applying!
Will you (or anyone else) comment on the student health insurance?
I googled that "cut suit" and watched a video on it. Pretty awesome. "Looks, feels, and even smells like..."
I would say you shouldn't submit until you have a higher score. They'll reject you outright with those stats... sorry... A 22 just isn't competitive...
The cut suit demonstration at the beginning of last year ruined the carpet in the large auditorium. The fake blood ran onto the carpet and stained it... There's a patch over the stain...
My job shadowing experiences are all with MD's - both my US shadowing experience and the Medical missions ! All together I have job shadowing and volunteering experiences starting from 2004 till date.Your MCAT is low for your GPA, but I would think you'd get an interview... Do you have a DO letter?

Just got the secondary as well. Does anyone know how they screen for handing out secondaries? I know most who get an interview get accepted (85% i think). But how many people who complete the secondary get an interview?
I just received the secondary email, but it has not content
Just got a blank email from RVU. hopefully the real secondary follows

Yes!
and yay for a real email now! Quick fix!
Anybody find out how to access the secondary? I click on the supplemental application form and nothing comes up, other than there are no active applications on this portlet.
