Although not directly med school related: Extreme Ownership by Jocko. Ex navy seal.

Great book which gives GREAT lessons in being a leader and will help you be a better person overall.

Does anyone know if recent interviews are for seats in the class or for the waitlist? Seeing a lot of WL recently on the page, but wasn't sure if anyone actually asked if the class is full or not.

My WL response said due to number of seats available at this time

Waitlisted today after interviewing 2/23! Again, the class is full or very near full based on the wording of the waitlist email. Very happy to not be rejected

What did the wording say? I’m interviewing 3/9 and wondering if the class is already full

Just got an II! Hadn't heard a thing since I applied back in August

 

[happythoughtss]

Any movement?

 

[Yakovsky]

Just withdrew my acceptance here to keep a seat at KCU. I hope my seat goes to any one of you!!

Just got the waitlist email. Interviewed on March 3 and was expecting a waitlist, but still upset. Goodluck everyone!

To any current students here - do most students live in Lillington? I would likely have to live close to Raleigh for my S/Os work, curious if any other students do that.

Really would recommend against living in Raleigh. Fuquay-Varina is a nice distance between both Lillington and Raleigh. A lot of students live there

Just due to distance? I’m used to 45 min commute for work every day so it’s not a huge issue to me.

I interviewed here recently and one of my interviewers was very standoffish and appeared extremely disinterested in what I was saying. He asked me like 3 questions and our interview ended 10 minutes early. Did anyone else have this experience?

Waitlisted today. Interviewed 3/9

 

[Invendo]

Just received an II today!
Would anyone be able to speak about the interview? Such as any advice, what questions they ask, ect.?
Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

If you go all the way back to page 1 there is a link to the interview page for this school which is what I used to prep for my interview.

My interview was conversational about why DO, why CUSOM, things about me and my application, etc. My advice is to be yourself.

 

[happythoughtss]

will there be movement before May or is this not likely

I recently got off the waitlist, but didn't expect to hear any thing until the ranking list in May since that's what they said in emails.

Would you mind sharing stats or pm me (if not no worries)

Gotcha, congratulations!

 

[hoggyhoggyhogwarts]

Just got an II today, but based on the previous posts I'm guessing it's for a waitlist spot? Still excited though! How long did it take for everyone to hear back?

Why didn’t I think of this username it’s amazing 🤩
I think it’s an approximate 4 week wait but I interviewed in December so maybe someone who has interviewed recently has updated info on that.

Thank you lol!

Any idea if the class is full?

 

[vadogmama]

Thank you lol!

It is- seems like everyone’s waitlist email has noted that it’s due to no available seats.

I just got an II today... the lady told me they are interviewing for waitlist positions but there has been a lot of movement.

 

[hoggyhoggyhogwarts]

Is their waitlist ranked in any way?

 

[vadogmama]

Is their purgatory ranked in any way?

They send a WL rank in beginning of May

 

[hoggyhoggyhogwarts]

What is the interview format?

 

[Mary G’s]

Is their purgatory ranked in any way?

hahaha it was supposed to say "waitlist". I have no idea why it auto-corrected to purgatory, but you know what, it totally fits.
