Anybody hear anything back from them? There is some serious radio silence on my end. It's fine...I didn't wanna know where I was gonna have to live next semester anyway lol.

If the South Benc rumor were true, wouldn't the word get out by now? It's hard to imagine the school keeping that a secret if it were true.Nope. Maybe that South Bend rumor about accreditation was true? I just don't get why they can't send out a simple email / Facebook post saying when they'll let us know. It's really not fair to others that are using placement to determine which school they're going to choose. They are blatantly ignoring our questions....
Fortunately I'm gonna end up at IUSM regardless of where I get placed. I feel for you though. I feel like it doesn't take much effort to just send out an email.Nope.

There is a process to it I promise. When did they say they would release campus placements?Yeah word. No science behind it. Pure literature
I'm happy I got accepted but I also want to know where I'm even going so Im not homeless by fallThere is a process to it I promise. When did they say they would release campus placements?
Just sayin', be happy you got accepted. Loads of people are still waiting and are very nervous right now. Just because IUSM is not on SDN's thread schedule doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. They are doing their best I'm sure

I walked into the Indy admissions office and asked them when campus assignments would most likely be given out. They said "By the end of the week... most likely." It's not much, but it's something.
My fiancée and I are trying to plan our lives around this, so we're pretty stressed it's taking this long. That said, I could tell that admissions wanted to have assignments out as soon as possible, too. OrgoCoop is right; they're trying their hardest. But I wish there were a better way that, between the wait for acceptance and for placement, wasn't so damn stress-inducing.
Its def not a random process. They actually take the time to construct, in their minds, a cohesive class for each campus. Not sure all the factors that they use, but this is what i've heard.Just goes to show that campus assignments probably aren't as random or automated as we might think. Seems like they are putting a lot of work into something that is described as a "press the button" algorithm. Thanks for the info!
So I forgot to submit the academic record and legal disclosure form. It says if you don't submit it with in 30 days your acceptance can be withdrawn....and I'm late on it. Just realized that today. Hopefully this isn't the end of me
Any news on campus assignments? Think I might call today if there is no word by 3
I totally understand things getting backed up, but they could at least give us all an update. Why the dramatics? It's incredibly frustratingI can't believe they haven't come out yet.
Me too!! finally!!My campus assignment was just updated! Check your portal!
I know someone who got into his second choice campus last year, and tried the second chance lottery for Indianapolis but ended up in a totally different campus.If I enter the second chance lottery, is there a chance that I will end up at a campus I like even less?
If I got into Bloomington, what are the chances I can secure a spot in Indy with the second choice lottery, should I even try?

please try for indy I really want Bloomington!!! *cries* not but seriously my main concern is that due to my financial situation don't know if I'll be able to afford a car before school starts, and I got Evansville.
They changed that this year. In the email it says if you are not placed at your preferred campus you'll remain at your original placement.I know someone who got into his second choice campus last year, and tried the second chance lottery for Indianapolis but ended up in a totally different campus.
I went to Undergrad here, and I have already spent 5 years here. I love it, but I think it's time to move on.I got Bloomington and have lived there for years. You will love it. Just give it a 2 year chance.

I visited a few places when I was there. A lot of the sexton properties are nice but there is a waitlist. I found these to be the most affordable/nearest to the school.How are pple out of state planning on finding housing?
Trying to decide how to go about this...it would be easier if I were closer but I'm further away

Heyo I'm an OOS student at a regional campus currently. Unfortunately you just gotta find an apartment complex that lets you lease online or through email/fax and just accept that you won't see the place unless you drag yourself up there early to check out your campus.
I leased the apartment I'm in online. Wasn't too thrilled with it, but it's not bad. Your experience may vary. Also, I visited once about a month before classes started to get a feel for the area. You may wish to as well.
Indy is the dream, but only sorta. Third year is stuffy because residents lie between you and the attending, much harder to get a good letter from an attending/to be noticed, but it gives you a good feel for a big academic institution. Bloomington and W. Lafayette are beautiful and cultural, but you won't find much time for that unfortunately. South Bend is... South Bend. Evansville is the academic all-star of the state (250 average step 1 in 2014 of their students, made all of our jaws drop--something about Evansville just yields killer scores year after year). Fort Wayne is probably the location to end up in if you don't land Indy: second largest metropolitan area, lots of docs, lots of specialists, lots of connections to be made, fantastic third year exposure, independent summer research program. Muncie is close to Indy, and Muncie/Terre Haute are great community/rural medicine programs.
If you want research, you're going to find it (over summer, maybe not at your campus). Unless you're okay with your grade dropping, you're not going to be doing hardly any research during the academic year anyway.
Good luck all.
Thanks for the info. Did you end up finding a roommate or living by yourself for your apartment?
The curriculum is organ blocks right? Professor written exams?
First semester is two mega-courses that mix and match embryology, biochemistry/molecular biology/genetics, histology, and anatomy. Second semester is three blocks, first is physio, second is micro/immuno, third is when true organ blocks begin as neuro.
Exams are standardized across all campuses, and written by all professors who teach that block across the courses. All exam questions from each professor are thrown in a giant pool, and the professors discuss each others' questions before exams to include/exclude them from the exams. From what we've observed, the course-director (usually in Indy) gets the final say and the greatest weight in how each block and exam is organized.
Curriculum is pass/fail. Only recently has mandatory attendance been revoked for didactic lectures. TBL is still mandatory.

Do we need to get any blood work done for the immunization stuff?
