Strange. They told us to call on the 16th, and I double checked with a friend who is on the committee as well and he told me the 16th.
In state here.
Most live really close to campus; there are a few properties close by COM although our classes are in the hospital now. It is about a 7- minute walk. Some with families live far; a few live in downtown. There is definitely a fair amount of people driving into school. I hate driving and honestly in the very first block, you do need to go to cadaver lab very frequently so living too far is not a great idea in my opinion.
Take it easy. UK interview day is super short and sweet. Two interviews are literally back to back (at least for me). I am a first year now. Honestly, from my personal experience, I still think MCAT and GPA are super important. Interviews with preclude those who have horrible social skills but most likely, it is not going to hurt or benefit you tremendously. It is a little hard to imagine someone getting in just because a stunning interview ( it could) but I am only speaking from my experience and might be highly/ strongly biased.
I would say most are apartment complexes with individual rooms, like red roof inn. These apartments can have one, two or three bedrooms. I did notice that there are some houses and I think some of my classmates live there too. I do want to tell you the apts near school are either inexpensive (500- 600 one bed) and old or nice and expensive (900-1000 one bed). There are several much newer properties a little far from the hospital, like university village, newton crossing, campus court but they are more expensive and requires more time for transportation.
