I personally fell in love with the school during my interview. I didn't go in expecting much but honestly it's one of the best schools if you're looking for an intimate and nurturing environment. Everyone is very nice, the class size is small, the learning environment is great. Because of the small class size you have access to your professors easily. They have a problem based learning system, which I personally prefer over traditional lectures. The campus is beautiful, and it's Maine. The atmosphere is very welcoming, there's great beaches. The students actually live in beach houses which is pretty awesome. Portland is a great little city, very unique, great culture. They have rotations all through the east coast so you have a large option on where you want to live you 3rd and 4th year.Unexpected II today! Will likely not be attending... but anybody have thoughts on this school (pros and cons) before I make that decision?
Sorry to hear and I hope you get another choice that works out even better! On the bright side, your username wins SDN LOL
I think the whole 'the class is full' is a standard waitlist line that many medical schools use, but we know it's a constant dynamic of people withdrawing acceptances all the way until the spring. No way UNECOM is the first med school to have a secured class
Is anyone thinking about housing options yet? I know it's a little bit early for it but I wanted to get an understanding of how the rent and what the good areas to live in are.
@Bronze_rose that would be Azcom.
I've been casually skimming places like Zillow and Craigslist to see what's out there. It looks like places are on average $400-$600 per person for a single (at least the places I've been looking at). My tour guide said that people live at the beach, but that those are difficult because the lease dates don't match up with class time
Not sure if it will help anyone but will most likely be withdrawing my name from the waitlist- congrats again to all those accepted! This really is an amazing schools and I can't wait to call you all colleagues in the future
Will be interviewing here Feb. 2nd. Anyone have any advice/knowledge to share with me?
You'll have an information session with everyone first, then either a tour or interview depending on how they grouped you. Your interview will be about 20-30 minutes with a student, professor, and clinician. Just be yourself, they just want to see if you're a good fit
Why not call and ask, let us know when you do! ThanksDoes anyone know if the admissions committee is meeting this week at all? (12/3 interview) They said decisions may/may not come before the new year.
Really sorry to hear that. When were you complete?yup rejected this week too pre-interview..was my #1
Current student; can confirm that beach houses get a little tricky since most rentals begin sept 1st, we start the first week of august. Some students camped out in hotels or couch surfed for the first month before moving in. A house will usually run you between $300 and $600 per person, and many students live in the towns of Biddeford and Saco (~5 miles away) in apartments (usually $400-$600 to share an apt, $600-900 for a single bedroom). Double check what utilities are included, usually a cheaper place without heat is more expensive in the long run but it's the norm here to include heat with rent. Most students wait a while to make living arrangements (i.e. the summer when seat movement slows) and have no problem. I'd recommend using the class page for filling a house, and a real estate agent for apartments (PM me for a good real estate).
for my session the last one was at 3pm, so definitely ends befpre 4pm, YMMVDoes anyone know when the day ends for interviewees in the afternoon session? Trying to book my return flights...
Thanks!
My afternoon session was scheduled to end at 4 and it ended exactly at that time after the tour. They do let you leave as soon as you're done with your interviewe though if you wanna skip the tour. I booked a 7pm flight back because I didn't wanna deal with rushing my interview.Does anyone know when the day ends for interviewees in the afternoon session? Trying to book my return flights...

Thanks. I was complete early September.Really sorry to hear that. When were you complete?
Yes. Many of the beach houses are walkable (<1/4-1/2 mile) and there is a pretty good free bus that runs from downtown Biddeford/Saco (http://www.shuttlebus-zoom.com/rates/une-bus-schedule/).I wonder if there is any housing near the school that I can commute by public or school bus.
Just withdrew my axceptance. Hope it goes to one of you!
I was accepted and didn't have a DO letter. It's good if you get the chance to have one, but deff not a mandated thing.I'll be applying here next year, and it's my number one choice, I'm just wondering if anybody has gotten an interview or been accepted without a DO letter? I know UNE says it's optional if you have another professional reference
I received the acceptance letter on Dec 8This acceptance was before Dec 2015, not a recent one right?
