I never got a complete email. Only an arrived email
Just to be clear, I submitted by secondary on 7/20. I got the application arrived email on 7/23. Should I be expecting an application complete email as well?
anyone know if carilion has a gym?
anyone know if carilion has a gym?
http://www.carilionfitness.com/
there are 2 primary clubs and 1 or 2 express clubs available. i know my class got free memberships for all 4 years and I am pretty sure the other classes are getting memberships as well, but you may wish to double check as i am not completely sure on that. essentially, these are the clubs carilion has opened up for their faculty and staff as well as members of the community. the gyms are nice, clean, and have just about anything you could be looking for (free weights, hardware, pools, indoor tracks, racquet ball, basketball, juice bars, etc).
hope this helps!
Does anyone know what time the reception on Friday is being held at?
I'm very excited to interview here this Saturday. Does anyone know what the dress code is for the reception Friday? I was planning on wearing dress pants and a button down shirt. No tie.
thanks for that. i also saw that there was a planet fitness near by too, so all is well in the gym department. good to know that there are people who do trail/outdoor running too.also forgot to mention... on the second floor of the medical school has a very small gym which the students have access to as well. it has a fitness bike, 2 treadmills and a stair-climber from what i recall. the whole gym has direct access to the showers and locker rooms.
also would like to point out, Roanoke has been constructing a series of greenways all throughout roanoke for pedestrian use. the ones that go by the medical school and carilion memorial hospital have some very scenic paths along the roanoke river and are great for riding, running, or just walking along. some of the med students are also involved in local IM leagues (softball, soccer, and rugby in particular). we also have several students who thoroughly enjoy road and off road riding, trail running, and rock climbing (apparently the city is getting a new climbing gym sometime in the near future).
finally, i just wanted to throw in my 2 cents on the city of roanoke... in my view, it is a sampler city... one of everything. if you are interested in something in particular, chances are there is at least a small niche in town willing to cater to it. however, it is a small city, so it can be easy to be disappointed in the selection if you are coming from a larger city center such as Chicago or New York.
i believe it's everything you've mentioned. on their website, they say that they send out secondaries to everyone who meets their minimum requirements.Is the secondary screening based on just mcat/gpa or does receiving one also mean your ps and ec s are also "acceptable"?
are you already verified in AMCAS? you are certainly not late. whether you are early is subjective for august. i think if you really like the school, you have good stats, and 50 dollars, you should definitely try.is it too late to submit a primary? the more i'm learning about this school the more i really like it. but i don't want to submit if i'm gonna be at a big disadvantage right now, since the class is so small and interviews have started.
Has anyone interviewed MMI style before? Any tips/insight/reflections would be great!

Wow, awesome interview. Everyone was really helpful and friendly. The MMI was totally stress free. Also, for those of you who are out of state, they mentioned that most of the people there were either in state or pretty close because it was such short notice, so no need to freak out if you missed the first round.

+1, had a great time. Acceptances not coming out til January though...
Interview invite for 9/29! Anyone else?
confirmed. it's something they said at the interview orientation. it's a new thing they are trying/doing this year.Could you clarify that they aren't releasing acceptances until January? On the VT website, it says they send out acceptances on a rolling basis mid-October, mid-December, and late-March.
