Does this place give a secondary out?

 

[deleted994893]

They give out a secondary, but I still haven’t received one. They recently updated their website and it’s nice and detailed.

 

[Nugester]

No secondary yet. Seems to be different than the last few years (e-mailed out this time).

[Here4MyBoo]

Can any current students comment on their clerkship style/offerings? Are there opportunities to perform clerkships in a rural setting?

 

[DanaScully_MD]

Submitted secondary 7/31. Just anxiously waiting for my last LOR.

 

[serendipity723]

I can't find it on their website, but I know 2 science LORs and 1 non-science/science LOR, can we include a 4th LOR from employer?

[puzzled_advance]

Anyone that applied ED heard back about an II or anything yet?

 

[serendipity723]

.

There’s a watch thread button at the top of every thread!

 

[serendipity723]

Ask the school

Thanks. Adcom said to send it all in lol

 

[Agentcross]

is it worth applying here OOS

not unless you have strong ties to state

 

[Nugester]

do they send complete emails?

Not sure (haven't received one yet).

 

[hash_slinging_slasher]

do they send complete emails?

i received an email saying my application was complete and under review 7/30

 

[Nugester]

Not sure (haven't received one yet).

Oops. Got something 7/16 saying under review for possible interview invitation.

 

[Nugester]

when were u complete

didn't get a complete email? Submitted secondary 7/15, 7/16 email saying I'm under review for possible II.

 

[CryptoMed]

not unless you have strong ties to state

What would be considered a strong tie? I'm applying because one of the doctors I shadowed went to LSU and I only live 3 hours away from the school. I haven't spent more than a week at a time in the state. Any help is appreciated!

you live 3 hours away, but never spend more than 1 hr in louisiana? Do you live close to a border?

for reference, i lived and grew up in louisiana, and consider that a strong tie if that helps. Also you can just call the school to be reallysure

 

[CryptoMed]

I never spend more than a week in Louisiana. I live in Dallas, so I'm geographically close. Yea, an in-state person obviously has strong ties but that's why they don't have to answer that question.

from msar, they hardly accept any OOS, so i'd guess the 1 OOS who did get in probably just moved away from louisiana. So I'd say you don't count

 

[WonderWomanDoctor]

What are the chances of getting accepted if you have an ED interview? are the chances higher?

 

[puzzled_advance]

Accepted ED!!

that’s a good guess but it’s wrong since I know the OOS student. Don’t lose hope OOS applicants!

 

[Touchop1115]

Anyone hear anything about interview invites going out yet for RD?

 

[itskagome]

Thanks! 7/16.

 

[DanaScully_MD]

Anybody who’s gotten II mind sharing their stats?

 

[CryptoMed]

Are y'all in-state applicants?

 

[Nugester]

Are y'all in-state applicants?

Yes.

Anyone here from Shreveport or know the area/can recommend places to look into or avoid for lodging? A friend has a residency interview and neither of us can find any info on SDN except here so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (sorry I know it isn't exactly the correct thread/forum)

The area near the medical center isn't the safest, and there aren't too many hotels super close. If you're looking for safe and don't mind driving a bit, looking near the Boardwalk/Casinos in Bossier or around Youree/Bert Kouns/70th wouldn't hurt. If you want to stay downtown, look close to Spring/Texas. There are some hotels near the airport but honestly I would avoid that area. It can get sketchy in parts and isn't exactly a fun part of town.
