Hello,
I'm a third year student attending UNSOM. Once a year I try to make it a point to visit this thread and offer any advice or answer any questions. I'm fairly up to date with the interview process but obviously things change rapidly. I am not interviewing any students this year so there is no conflict of interest, but some of the people you will be interviewing with are my friends. I do know MOST if not all of the people on the adcom.
Questions I cannot answer are what the curriculum reform is/will be like, what to do for xy residency (you shouldn't be worrying about that yet), whether you're competitive for this cycle or not. I'm either out of the loop on these things or wasn't subject to them (such as the curriculum reform).
Questions I can answer are what the campuses are like at UNR, UNLV, UMC, Renown, what the professors are like, what classes were hard/easy for me, what third year is like, what step 1 is like for an UNSOM student, how often I sleep, how many friends I still have now having been in medical school for 3 years, what its like having a relationship at UNSOM (I proposed and will be getting married this December) and how things like that integrate into your daily life as a med student. I'd be happy to talk about any and all of my experiences, good and bad, no question off limits in regards to daily life/personal life outside of school in case you're wondering how to adapt to med school. PMs are fine if you want to talk about your life and want my thoughts, whatever they're worth. At least one person has found them helpful before. I think.
Good luck. It only gets worse from here.
