Interviewing Dec.5th. Anybody know how long it will take for me to hear back from them/???
Was my diagnosis correct today for cervical? Will I redoc?
Absolutely not mandatory. People have even been skipping OMM labs to study for other exams (we get three skips before we fail). All lectures are recorded and they have only dropped the ball for ONE recording this year and it wasn't even the IT department's fault.
Also I know grading is pass/fail, but do they have a high pass and honors pass?
Classes are completely not mandatory since you can watch lectures at home. The majority of the week you'll be out way earlier. Some days you're done before noon. Lectures typically have under 50% of the class in them. Picking and choosing the best lectures to go to seems to work well for me. Some lectures you shouldn't watch at home like radiology, since the professor uses laser pointers to guide you so you don't really want to be lost at home.
A heavy day of "8-5" would be 8-noon classes, followed by a two hour afternoon lab (you'll be in either of two groups, so one group is from 1-3 and the other from 3-5), and then lectures you study at home call "DSAs". Basically you study these DSAs (powerpoint slides) and the next day your lectures are really interactive clicker sessions with some teaching from the professor. Depends on who the professor is, the whole time can just be filled with questions and discussion rather than any teaching. The labs are relaxing to me, so I enjoy them. The schedule is 8-5 I guess if you include these DSAs, otherwise, you just need to be present during labs and exams/quizzes.
Farthest person I know that commuted was driving from Irving. His grade improved once he moved closer, but he was scoring above class average regardless. I've heard of people commuting from as far as Denton. I debated on moving to Fort Worth, but I'm glad I did.
Before I started at TCOM, I was also working full-time - my suggestion would be to try and maintain that schedule/work ethic, and be productive with labs/studying/class during those hours. You will probably still study weekday evenings and spend at least 5-6 hours on saturday and sunday studying because there is just so much material to cover, but it will definitely help you maintain a better study/life balance if you can be very productive during the "workweek," if you will.What is it like to have the 8-5 PM schedule? I am currently working full time so I am familiar with the daily schedule but I know it will be different when it is school!
Also, do you know of anyone who commutes to FW? If I am accepted (crossing my fingers for a response on Wednesday), my husband and I are looking at buying a home about 30 min away so that he can continue to work in Allen.
Thanks!
