I love when people are open and honest. Congrats you deserve it!
I try to be as open and honest as possible cause we are all struggling through the process together
Thanks! I am very excited

just saw this...scary...
I was watching yesterday on our local news that this happened right in front of their medical school.
I went there for undergrad but it's not really close to the medical school
I got you future classmate lol!
Classes (mostly orientation) start August 6. Most ppl move in July. Safe places to live at are on the FB group someone posted an Google docs spreadsheet with diff complexes like
-Doral View
-Cordoba
-Amli Doral
-The Manor
-Vista Verde
Etc.
The bridge is actually within 100 yards of the main M1 classroom building. Us M2's were in class at another building when the collapse happened. Oddly, we neither felt nor heard anything. However, many of our faculty preceptors and actual M2's who had been outside when it happened ran to the site and were clearing rubble off of survivors. I'm very proud of the faculty members who ran out there, white coats and all, and got into the thick of it. Terrible tragedy on campus though.
You should expect a lot more contact from administration after the decision day this year. Typically, administrations won't make you go through all the paperwork until they know you're coming. If you must, get started on being up to date on your immunizations and TB screenings. Aside from that, you'll know what to do when they reach out to you.
Lol that's FIU for you

I honestly dont even remember designated interviewee parking spaces when I interviewed but they had us enter our tag info into an ipad so that all tickets could be dismissed if we got them for that day

This happened to me, just send a picture of it to the admissions office and they will take care of it for you!
Anyone else waiting to find out this week have any ideas about when decisions will go out?
They seem to be emailing and calling on Tuesdays. This was also how is was last year, so possibly tomorrow!Anyone else waiting to find out this week have any ideas about when decisions will go out?
My online portal was updated just now to "Admissions Committee Review Completed" so I am expecting a call today or this week as well. I interviewed on Feb 12th. Good luck to everyone!
Mine says that too! Good luck to everyone 🙂
I would expect a call or email in the next couple of hours! Goodluck!
I just received an acceptance call!!! I was at work, in the middle of using the restroom, when the call came in.
Congrats!
it's FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Class of 2022
Dont get too excited about FB though, its not very active lol
I don’t think I did either
I would say it's average only because the do have a good amount of people going into primary care and because they have a lot of people in transitional programs. It's still pretty good though

Has anyone heard anything about any WL movement?
I had the same thing happen when I interviewed a couple years back. Sometimes, the security guards don't remember the requests from the school. Just tell OSA (Office of Student Affairs) and they'll take care of it for you.
Does anyone know if we have access to a panther ID yet? / How to login to that? Or do we have to wait till after april 30th?
Yeah I'm pretty sure we get all that at least after April 30th.
Post it
$5. Im accepting Venmo
Jk lol

Anyone who went to second look day - can you tell me what you thought? Did you like the people you met, the area, feel like the school had a supportive community? I attended second look at my other acceptance in NY and loved it, and honestly have no clue how to choose - there are no bad choices (which is a wonderful and so beyond unexpected thing)
Anyone hear of any waitlist movement so far?
Anyone know if/when you're supposed to hear back about the diversity scholarship?
I think after the decision deadline. When i went to second look they encouraged me to complete mine and said i only had 2 weeks left.
Second look was cool. I love the fact that so many resources are available. They have a learning specalist who gets to understand how you learn best and teaches you how to study effectively according to your learning style. Each class on the panel (From c/o 2021-2018) seemed like a tight knit family. The students are laid back and seem happy. Step scores are awesome and the fact that students get to rotate at different hospitals is neat because you get to make more connections and learn how things are done at different hospitals. I think that would be a plus when applying for residency as it helps to mold students into more rounded and flexible individuals. Also students there seem supportive and not overly competitive with each other.
Can anyone shed light on this?
