Is lecture attendance mandatory here? I read somewhere that it was, read elsewhere that it wasn't lol
 
Anyone know when in April the waitlist tier email goes out?
 
Did anyone who interviewed not hear back any decision yet? I interviewed first week of February and still haven't gotten any updates back yet.

My guess would be that there are still a few applicants they are trying to decide where to place (A, W, or R). It definitely would not hurt to give them a call and politely ask about the status of your application. Good luck!
 
Anybody heard back about scholarships or know when they'll be notifying recipients?
 
Has anyone committed to enroll here and received additional info like class schedules, recommended materials, etc? Would you mind sharing?

Curious about this too, any info?

From the second look, it seemed like classes are in the morning (like 8-12), but are not mandatory.

In preclinicals, students have a once weekly mandatory PBL session in the afternoon (this varies in length). If you are in one of the tracks, they also have a mandatory elective on Wed afternoon 1-3. I think during anatomy, the lab is in the afternoon.

Some other classes (foundations in doctoring) are also required, but I’m not sure the frequency or if they are morning or afternoon. You also have a preceptor experience for 4 hours 2-3 times a month.

I'm a current student. Hold off on getting any materials. Do not buy anything now. Do not study over the summer. It won't help, and you should enjoy this last opportunity to do things you won't have time for in medical school. Talk to MS2s closer to when classes start. Most people have bought 1-2 books so far, probably a fair number haven't bought any. MS1s get paired with an MS2 buddy and some MS2 buddies have books or other resources that they'll give to their MS1. Doesn't happen for everyone, and those resources may or may not be helpful, depending on who you are. There's a lot of variation between what people use and think is helpful. But MS2s can tell you what "required" resources were actually required, etc.

Your schedule will vary from block to block and as the school is bringing a new curriculum in, it's possible that your class's experience will be different from the class before yours. However, this is how things are for current MS1's:

Human Body Block - expect to be in class, in the anatomy lab, or working with standardized patients 8:00-5:00 most days of the week, with an hour for lunch. Some lectures are required. ~90% of the class attends all lectures in person during this block.
Blocks after HBB - classes go 8-noon. Most are not required, but some are. Most students do not regularly attend lecture. PBL is 2 hours in the afternoon once a week (required). You get your preceptor assignment in November and in your second semester you will spend an average of a few hours per week with them. In the spring, IPED (inter-professional learning) begins and takes a few hours per week for about 10 weeks (required). You're allowed to sign up for electives after HBB is over, as well as participate in tracks or do research, etc. Things are much more flexible after HBB, but there are more things to juggle.

If anyone has questions - any - feel free to PM me.
 
Has anyone received a finaid package yet? I find it hard to make a decision without having that in hand first

EDIT: Jk it's in our school email!

True that!
 
Current med students: whats the difference between 21 Fitz and Forum Fitz. Also, what other apartment complexes are within walking distance of the school?
 
So it says that they generally offer 270-300 acceptances. On the admissions tracker is says that they have already offered 295, could this possibly mean there will be less acceptances of the waitlist?
 
Does anyone have any idea how many people are on the waitlist?

Also, yes, the email says that, but Dr. Z said they offered 330 acceptances last year at my interview...
