Do any current students know whether the orientation in late May is the only option, or if there are any options closer to the white coat ceremony in Aug?

Many thanks, still crossing my fingers for everyone waiting in the wings (incl. me!). Good luck and happy holidays!

Hey! I'm a current student. There's only one required orientation session in late May since classes begin first week of June.

From what I have read it is very picky concerns that should be easily fixable, I can't imagine that there will be any issues upon the next visit they have

Exactly, from what I've heard its nothing to do with the curriculum. There wasn't enough info about regional campuses offered during the visit so they were upset about that.

Accepted student here. I recently received a speeding ticket for 9 miles over the limit. I’m just wondering if anyone knows if this is going to affect my acceptance? Or if there is any protocol I need to follow as far as notifying them or anything. Any help is appreciated!

is it a misdemeanor?
 
littlegreyy said:
It’s just a civil infraction. Am I supposed to email them & tell them? I just don’t know the protocol since I’m already accepted

I'd email to be safe but I'm almost sure that unless they explicitly specify speeding/moving violations, it doesnt need to be reported.
 
Does anyone know what the process is for accepted students? Specifically, are there any things that we need to do over these next few months, aside from the financial aid application?

Make sure you do the current year fafsa (19-20) and add FSU to it. Since classes begin summer, it's still considered the previous year's fafsa which I didn't realize so I got my loans super late.

I am a current student. Orientation starts the day after Memorial Day and the summer term starts the next week. FSU does a whole semester before white coat.
 
Hi!! I’m an M1 at FSU COM, feel free to message if you have any questions about the program or what it is like.
 
Has there been any recent II invites? Or is it considered late in the MD cycle?
 
Sent an update 12/17, still radiosilence. OOS and strong ties to FL. Anyone know when they start interviewing for the Bridge program?
 
@WISHMELUCK2 Accepted as of Wednesday via email! Very excited and so thankful to this group for the tips and support. I wish you luck, too 🙂

@bmcdonald9 From the interview it seemed like Bridge program is selected from the MD interview pool, but I didn't research that so I'm not sure. From what I hear it's a great program with good people, best of luck!

Applicants for the Bridge program are selected among the people who receive an interview for the MD program. So technically you can’t apply directly for Bridge. These applicants are usually notified late April/early May of their applicant status because they look at all potential applicants before choosing the handful that are going to be apart of the Bridge program. Hope that helps!

Any recent II's? I'm a re-applicant here and went to FSU for undergrad. I really love this school and tried to stress my commitment to under-served populations in my primary/secondary this cycle but total silence since completing the secondary 🙁

Silence here as well unfortunately.

(Current student here), don't worry at all. Just send a comprehensive update of what you've been doing this year! Nearly a third of my class interviewed Feb-April 🙂
 
Does anyone know if the waitlists come at the same time as acceptances? Anxiously waiting from an interview at the beginning of January
