2019-2020 A.T. Still University (Mesa, Arizona) ATSU-SOMA

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Current students!
Does anyone know how COVID-19 is impacting courses? I assume they can easily do the first year online given the virtual labs and what not. My question is, do you think they won’t make first years actually move to AZ for 10 months? Since we’ll likely be learning entirely remote?

Could any accepted students tell me what pre-matriculation requirements are? Background check, immunization, drug screen, etc.?

Anyone able to tell me how I can view the available CHC's?
Also, any current students able to help clarify clinical rotations and away rotations? I'd like to DM you for insight.
Thanks!

I emailed the school to ask about current CHC availability and they were pretty quick to get back. There isn’t a link to see what is available/closed.

Any current students able to clarify something about CHC's and rotations for me?

For example: the Portland location, are we expected to travel to areas surrounding Portland as well as up north to Alaska?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!
Received the call this morning for accepted pending an open seat. Can anyone clarify how this is different than the wait list? Or if they know how movement to full acceptance works or has worked in the past? As applications are opening again in a few weeks, should I be preparing to reapply?

The admissions counselor that I met with after my interview told me that you are basically guaranteed full acceptance of you are accepted pending an open seat. He said that they always get through the entire accepted pending an open seat list and they usually get through half of the alternate list.

It looks like they are handing out pending acceptances like candy:) - even I got one! How many students are accepted? How many on this pending list?

Just got the accepted pending seat as well! Looks like most are getting the official acceptance about a month after acceptance pending seat. Does that seem correct? Really praying those of us with this status get in!

Hey, So I am a little confused about the CHC sites...

1. Do we only spend one year on campus and then the next 3 years at a CHC site?

2. Will there be an actual place to attend lectures and study at these sites?

3. Any existing medical students, married with a family have any experience on life at these sites? Thanks!
 
Hi so I have a few questions, Thank you in advance!

1) Has the University stated anything regarding COVID19 and if that will impact the curriculum timeframe and when we will be expected to be on campus

2) Can someone elaborate on housing, a current med student perhaps, what areas to live in and if there is a University complex where most students live

3) Does anyone have access to the 2019 or 2020 Match lists for SOMA?

Here is the match for 2019, but I'm still waiting for someone to post the 2020 match.

Has anyone heard back from interviews the first week of April?
 
Just got accepted seat pending!

Interviewed via Zoom: Tuesday 03/31

Everyone has been expressing that this seat pending status usually turns into an acceptance. However, since AACOMAS open up again for the next cycle early next month. I really want to believe that this will turn into a full acceptance (and save myself money from applying again), but I think it would be smart of me to go ahead and begin applying again (worst case scenario). Thoughts from anyone else still sitting on 'accepted seat pending' this close to the 20-21 cycle?

Hello, I was accepted pending a seat becomes available on 4/17. I have also heard that this most always turns into a full acceptance, and that ATSU usually gets to the alternate list as well (correct me if I am wrong).

However, there is that slight chance that we will not get in. I am keeping my hopes up, but I will be filling out my application for next year in the off chance I don't get in.

For those accepted seat pending, did she say there was nothing else we needed to do? Just to wait for full acceptance?

Hello! I had emailed the person who gave me the acceptance call yesterday with that question and she said there is nothing else you can do, unless SOMA is your top choice, then she suggested sending a letter of intent (which I had already done 2 days post-interview).

Does anybody who got accepted recently know which CHCs are still open? I got accepted pending open seat on 4/14 and have yet to hear back and getting a little worried on what leftover CHC I may get placed into.

Hey, not sure if there are additional interview dates (I don't think there are) but I do know accepted students need to submit their second deposits on May 1st. So there will definitely be some students that drop their acceptances after that
