I know that the In-State Classification form doesn't "affect the status of your application," but do you all think it affects whether or not admissions reviews your app as in-state? I'm getting paranoid since I hadn't filled it out for a while after being complete.
I would imagine it’s only for the financial aid stuff but i don’t think it would change your status to being in state for reviewing your app. That’s just my gut feeling. But fill it out anyways! It takes like 10 minutes and they get back to you pretty quickly.

I didn't fill the form out and it didn't seem to matter...They could figure out if you're most likely IS based on what you put on your primary I would imagine. I got an A and was marked out-of-state though I just need to have the form done (and processed too maybe) before the first day of class
Anyone else complete at the end of July getting worried?
seems like I’ve missed out entirely on the first batch of II🙁

YES!!!! but I'm like hesitant to believe it?! I didn't get anything in email, just happened to check my portal (bc neurotic)
They probably will send the email out soon- sometimes there’s a lag between portal and direct communication.

Anyone know anything about the new curriculum?

In shock, is this real? I only checked my portal because I read your post.

From what I remember, (and anyone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong), the curriculum is systems-based in which you learn both normal and abnormal of each system at the same time, in contrast to the traditional curriculum in which 1st year was when you learned everything that is normal and 2nd year was when you learn everything that is abnormal. That way, the pre-clinical years are also shortened so that you have more time to study for Step 1, take it, and get it out of the way so that you start clinicals earlier. In addition, the class of 2024 will be the first class in which a tiered pass/fail system is implemented in pre-clinical grading as opposed to letter grades. It's similar but as the Dean said "it sounds so much better to say that you passed a class as opposed to saying you got a C in it!" lol she was such a nice person.
To add to this, here's the breakdown they showed us

To add more, here are some notes I took. Feel free to PM me if anything doesn’t make sense.
