I know man like one person typed "of" instead of "have." I misspelled my own damn name in my primary at some point we're all misshapen typo-prone balls of clayEveryone bullying this school on SDN and Reddit I feel bad
I lied - I realized what I pre-wrote fit well enough and pieced together the others so I went for it

Is anyone a current student here and can speak to what they like/don't like/ overall impressions? This school is so new and their application timeline is inconvenient so I'm trying to decide if it's worth it. Also nervous about the accreditation. Would love more info.
i wonder when they're going to send IIs
i dont think anyone is seriously attacking the school over some grammatical errors (atleast i hope not). yeah, its unprofessional, but its really just the common memes/banter you see on the internet. in reality, any one of those people making jokes would happily attend if it was their only choice. just my .02

woah wait also just noticed this letter requirement: At least one from a health care professional (does not need to be a physician - can be a nurse, social worker, physician’s assistant, occupational therapist, psychologist, etc.) How strict is this? Does research count?
Yeah I hope it doesn't cause I just sent my committee letter... I mean physician statements are included in it from evaluations I got in my clinical rotations, but legit don't have that required letter otherwise.
Atleast they removed these:
- State a professional goal/s that you wish to accomplish by pursuing a medical degree.
- Explain what qualities of excellence, knowledge, and/or skills you would contribute to the medical school experience.
Yeah, I emailed the admissions office about this because I have a letter only from my research PI (Wet lab basic science research) and they said it wouldn't count. I had to scramble last minute to get a letter from a nurse in my clinical volunteering that barely knows me.
After listening to all the advice on SDN saying MD letters are worthless. Lol god damnit.
I'm seriously contemplating just copying and pasting my personal statement. Like BITCH THIS IS THE SAME DAMN THING

Naturally after waiting so long the secondary is sent the one time of month I have to work 12 days in a row 🙁
Same here. I don't get it. I also don't understand this: How does it make sense to ask us to "describe ... experience with the field of medicine" and THEN follow it by the word "Specifically," asking us about life experiences, along with examples of all the things that aren't related to the field of medicine...(except for clinical work I guess)?
What??? Which one is it? You want our experience with medicine? OR do you want life experiences? OR do you want both?
Am I the only person who's confused about this?
I just did a little of both and made sure to tie my non-clinical things to how they prepare me for a career in medicine
Same, got it the night before a full 48 hour overnight weekend shift after like weeks of light schedules
I actually emailed them with the exact same situation (only healthcare professional is my PI who is an MD) and they told me it would be fine...
How long did they take to get back to you? I emailed on 8/22 ([email protected]) and haven’t heard back yet.
Do you guys think having a letter from the CEO of a health nonprofit would count? I initially thought it would but after reading over the requirement I’m not so sure. I just finished my secondary and now I’m not sure if I should even submit it.

Secondary submitted 9/8/19
I emailed them back when I was making a school list, and it took a while but they said it was because my email got filtered incorrectly.

Unless the CEO is a practicing physician or healthcare provider, I doubt it.
Do they waive secondary fees?
Submitted 9/6 Under preliminary review today (9/9)
Did you receive an email saying you were under review? Did you ever receive an “application complete” email after submitting?
How long did it take after submitting the secondary for it to be received? I submitted the secondary on 8/29 and it still says awaiting (shown below). Thanks in advance.

Nope I’d call

Call them up, they had the same problem with mine back in july.
As a newer school, does anyone know what kind of research opportunities are available to students or how realistic of a goal it would be to do substantial/meaningful research at the school?
Anyone else not receive the prelim review email?
+1 complete 9/7
