Has anyone had any experience with the University of New England Organic Chemistry 2 course online?

I may be able to answer some questions since I have interacted with them on several occasions.

Thank you! I want to take their online organic chemistry 2 course. I was registered for my university's summer 1 course but because of covid it was canceled so now I am looking for other alternatives to take the course before matriculation. My question is, the course is 16 weeks long but online is says its self paced. Do you think it can be completed before this 16 weeks? I also read that the course is a lot more difficult than traditional college courses. Did you find this to be true?
any WL movement news today?
To confirm, are you planning on taking organic 2 before (or without) organic 1? If so, I would definitely advise against that.
The UNE course is designed to be completed over a 16 week period--essentially 16 weekly assignments/modules, etc. However, since the courses are self-paced, you can get them done much faster if you have the time to spend on the course. You do need to have plenty of time available to complete the course as you have a lot of material to learn. You will also want to have discipline as a lack of it tends to be a factor for students not doing well in an online course.
Most of my students are on federal financial aid and that aid cannot be used for UNE courses. So you are paying out of pocket, so to speak. That aspect and the proctoring/webcam hassles have been the issues students have told me about.

congrats !!! Did you happen to send a LOI?
thank you very much! 🙂 yes i did. this is my top school so i sent my letter in like a few days after receiving the waitlist decision. If you decide to, make sure you send in to Ms. Williams-Fowlkes, Dr. Rose, and the admissions email to ensure you get a confirmation email back.

thank you for this advice
They said the list is ranked in the email, so there shouldn’t be any need for them to meet. You never know really, but if it’s ranked... we should all file in according to the number we are assigned.

Feeling very discouraged at this point. As a person who is way north of 40, I feel my dream of medicine slipping away. I wish everyone all the luck in the world.

I hear you but it is now that you need to draw strength from the reason you’ve stayed the course. Remember why you started. Stay encouraged.
please please please don't give up.
Don’t give up! Your time is coming!
Checking in to say I was accepted off the waitlist last week! Interviewed in March

does anyone know when the deadline is to commit to howard?
One of the toughest decisions but I’ve decided to withdraw my acceptance from here as I got off a WL. Really saw myself attending Howard & being in DC. Good luck to those on the WL praying for you guys & the HUCM class of ‘24!
Where did you decide on instead?
Would ya mind sharing ur stat?
I heard that they are ranking their Waitlist based on stats.
sure. send me a PM
So there are different letters? Mine was sent by Sharmon Jones and the letter doesn’t say anything about accepted pending availability of a seat, but that my name is on the alternate waitlist and priority to fill seats begins in spring 2020.
@gunner526 @SoontobeDR25 That's a relief. Mine also said "alternative waitlist." This morning, I decided to check out the 2018-2019 forum for the first time and saw that some waitlist e-mails from the last cycle had more promising news and I'm actually glad to hear that may not be the case for this cycle. As soon as I saw that I felt like there was no hope, BUT THERE IS! lol
I interviewed in January and was WL'd shortly after....i haven't heard back yet :/

Primary Completed: 7/31/19
Secondary Offered: 9/5/19
Secondary/Application Completed: 9/17/19
Interview Invite: 3/21/20
Interview Date: 4/7/20
Alternate Waitlist: 4/23/20 (after 11pm EST)
Accepted: 5/6/20 (Alumni Here)
Goodluck all!
*Sent extensive resume, letter of intent along with supplemental information describing my clinical hours, research, awards, etc. the day after my interview. I'm extremely non-traditional, so the AMCAS application system barely allows me to create the full picture (especially because I wasn't a fan of the repetitive questions I was asked in one of my interviews). After that, I did not bother the Office of Admissions.
