Nope, I am very out of state also.

I'll be there in September

I was just accepted too!

Congratulations!

word. acceptance phone call this morning from Dr. Ancajas

I will be there too!!

So do they so infact give phone calls? Or do they do emails, snail mail, combinaton of some? Just wondering cause I'm just going off of aadsas for now.

got the "offer made" as well

I got the offer made and UNLV is one of my top choices. It all depends on Penn and UoP but congrats everyone UNLV is a great school!

So excited to be going to this school!! By far the best school in the country! Cant wait! Now time to PARTAY!!!!!!!!!

I'm in. So glad I no longer have to wonder all the time. UNLV rocks!!!

+1

UNLV is a great school, loved it every time I've been to the campus!

Do you guys know if we're going to be getting stuff in the mail as well or is it just aadsas?

just got a whole packet of stuff today in the mail.

Oh really? Awesome! I hope I get something soon. This better not be a mistake. haha.

guess what the class of 2014 scrub color is...for all 4 years....:MAROON

Haha, awesome! I like maroon. I also like to think I look good in dark red. At least we aren't brown. I remember the first years this year are brown.

when i was at the last saturday clinic i heard a faculty member say they heard it was going to be Navy Blue. too bad cause that would have been sharp . imagine how nice that would have been ---> navy blue scrubs with the white UNLV SDM emblem embroidered onto it.

Yeah at the interview they said maroon. I just hope that the maroon is more of a dark red than a purple-red. I liked the dark brown, too bad I wasn't a year earlier.

I thought we were going to vote on what scrub color we wanted? Oh well Maroon is cool. Guess i gotta go buy me some Maroon colored Chucks!

Maroon works for me--- what do you think about getting a maroon car to match

btw, where is everyone from? and is there a unlv sdm group?

Already? Nice! I'll be with you there in a few days.

So you chose UNLV over UoP? Not that I wouldn't do the same if UoP accepted me (which they haven't, yet ), but I was just wondering your reasons.

Click to expand...

Honestly, I freaking loved UoP and if it were just based on school vs school, I would have chosen UoP. But I get resident tuition at UNLV and I have a wife and kid so living in SF just isn't as great of an option for us as Las Vegas, with all of the crappy housing in SF and the high cost of living. It's all good though, I loved UNLV too so I'll be just as happy. Plus a dentist is a dentist, regardless of where the school is.

Congrats fellow UNLV acceptees!

I hate to do this to you guys, but I'm a little torn between UNLV and NYU. I'm leaning UNLV because I honestly feel like I'll get more clinical experience. It seems UNLV allows their students to do certain procedures that would be sent to residents at other schools (molar root canals, IV sedation, etc). I also like how UNLVs curriculum is set up to correlate between subjects.

Pros for NYU are that they too have a good program, with potentially good opportunities for research and specialty programs. Plus I love NYC and have family there.

Can anybody comment as to what they think set UNLV apart and why they're choosing UNLV?--Aside from cost or the fact that you live in Vegas.

Thanks for any input!!! Sorry if this is the wrong thread for my question, but I wanted to hear from people that interviewed at UNLV.

lol that is a little clueless....

Jan 15 is the end of the 45 day period people have to respond and submit a deposit for their acceptance....

Not trying to throw this thread into something totally different but does anyone know how strict the "Maintain a B Average" policy they have? Are they likely to revoke an acceptance or are the pretty lax with that little "requirement". thanks.

i was totally lied to! they were like we didn't accept OOS so call Jan 15.....gosh..

I got in on the First and I'm an Idaho resident.

Let me congratulate all of you on being accepted to UNLV SDM. I will be graduating from UNLV in May and I am very happy with the education I have received here. There are some things I could complain about but I think it is like that everywhere. Overall, it has been a great experience and you should all be excited to start.

If any of you would like to ask questions about good places to live or places to avoid or anything at all, feel free to pm me. We actually have a pretty sweet condo in Henderson (15 minute commute) that we might be renting out if anyone is interested let me know. We will be moving in May...... You may want to try to move here in May in order to be here the required time to establish residency. Some people in my class moved here later and they ended up paying an extra semester of out-of-state tuition.

Good luck to everyone and again, Congrats!!!

Hey, I just created a Facebook Group so we can all get to know each other a little before classes start. I don't know how to find a better link from Facebook, but this should work:
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=12139&uid=279755911963#/group.php?gid=279755911963

if not, the group is called "UNLV SDM 2014"

So I'm just wondering: where will you guys be living/where are you guys looking for apartments? I'm OOS and don't know what areas I should be looking at for apartments.
