Cali has secondary prompts. Not sure about NY.

 

[DocGerbal]

Yes! finally, someone said the right thing - don't compare yourself with other people...it will drive you literally insane.

When is you're interview date?

 

[AspiringDoc169]

When is you're interview date?

10/29, I could have picked a late August/early September date, but wanted to choose a later date to spread out my interviews.

 

[titrationpower]

Secondary submitted on 08/30. Under review email 09/04. I'm really hoping to get an interview invite!!

 

[doctor2be10]

Just interviewed yesterday. It is a 20-minute traditional interview with either 1 faculty member or 2 faculty members.

Was it pretty laid-back & chill or stressful?

It was very relaxed. Very small group of interviewees.

Learning style here is lecture right? Is it mandatory?

 

[Blanky]

Just got the “under review” today.....my last LOR writer took forever!
Better late than never.

 

[DocGerbal]

They record lectures so you can miss lectures but most people end up going to lecture anyway.

 

[drhop]

I believe new leadership, dean from KCU

is it a new curriculum, like the systems-based ones in rvu, kcu, dmu? huh...and i was debating between withdrawing my II here..but the huge jump in score may make me reconsider

 

[mizcracker1212]

They started doing the COMSAE before letting students take the exam...so students had to pass a mock exam before taking the real thing
Combining this with the new curriculum is why the jump is so drastic

What are the chances of acceptance if given an interview?

Trying to weigh out if the $1000 travel expense is worth it

 

[gingerhulking]

Just thought I’d chime in. I was "under review" as of 08/20, still waiting to hear back about an interview myself

Not 100% sure but I know they interview a lot of people (Friend of mine is a first year here). I do know their class size is 160ish if I’m not mistaken

 

[cactus.flower]

Learning style here is lecture right? Is it mandatory?

Only clinical skills and OMM are mandatory. And labs. I don’t really go to lectures, but I stay on schedule with the material. Just prefer to do it in my sweats on my couch.

Yes the new curriculum is systems based and we have amazing tutoring on campus for free if you need help. 11/10 would recommend and super glad I picked TUNCOM. I am OMS-1 and my class is the second to do the new curriculum.

$1000?!?!
Where are you getting this $1000 quote?
I don't specifically have an interview here (yet!), but with the interviews I have, the cost is <$400 for flights and hotel, and <$150 expenses.

Overall I expect to spend a little over $500 per interview.

 

[deleted926959]

Was it pretty laid-back & chill or stressful?

I had 2 interviewers and it was superrr laid back. Very casual and conversational

 

[gingerhulking]

Any idea when I should be contacted for an interview? I got the "under review" email on August 20th (08/20). Appreciate the help!

 

[doctor2be10]

anyone hear back that went to interviews this month?!

 

[angel_doc]

Same my interview was pretty stressful too. Depends on the interviewers I guess. 6th interview & definitely the roughest this far here

 

[DocGerbal]

my interview was 9/6 and we're supposed to hear back on or before this Friday.

Interesting that the experience with interviews was so different for us. What made it stressful if you don’t mind me asking? I guess I would expect more consistency

 

[drhop]

Interviewed yesterday..pretty straightforward. They say they'll let me know by October 3rd..
