Awesome, I needed this optimism!! Hoping for good news for us 🙂
Keep your spirits up! I actually just visited for a day since I'd never been to the area. Can say I'm even more stoked after seeing the area. Downtown is so cute.
I applied while I was there visiting a few months ago. I'm still nervous about if i'll get in. Already did my info session.
I think chances are good. Hope you get in!
Yay! Congratulations! When were you complete?II just now
August 24th!
I visited recently, too! It's very nice, much much quieter than the downtown I'm used to. I found chatting with local small business owners was super helpful to learn about the area, too! Everyone seemed very nice.
Yeah I was super pleasantly surprised checking out West End Architectural Salvage. If anyone ever visits and hasn't, drop in and try a sugar daddy (if you like sweet + coffee). Was NOT disappointed!
I am a first year and we were the first class that weren't provided with laptops so we got to buy our own. We just had to meet the IT requirements!
Can you speak to anything else we're required to have? I presume things like stethoscope, bp cuff etc. Can we avoid buying an oto/ophthalmoscope?
You’ll need all of those things, but lots of people on the Facebook page (or Amazon) will sell you their oto/optho for cheaper than from the bookstore! You won’t need equipment for at least the first couple weeks so most people wait to buy those things to see if there are any for sale cheaper
do they give us $$ to buy it or is it out of pocket.?
It figured into your cost of attendance, so you'll use financial aid for it.
Thanks for your response 🙂
i'm from the 12/7 group and still no news but apparently someone from the 12/10 got messaged back in december
looking at dates between info sessions and users who've heard back (which teeters between 2-3 weeks), I feel like we'll prob hear back by the end of next week. My session was 12/17
Silly question: do they email you and tell you you're on hold or do you have to contact them for an update?
Yes they tell you!
I can't speak for everyone, but I actually love the block schedule! It makes it pretty much mandatory to stay on top of the material in each class which is really nice for people who may tend to procrastinate.
I was at the zoo when they called me. xD
*sighs* I guess never mind lol
They seem to be sending them out on Friday's so maybe tomorrow. I was in the same session as you.
I was pulled off the alternate list this past summer and I know quite a few others in my class who were as well!
No, I totally agree with you! I rarely leave my house. But it was well below freezing that day so no one there and it’s huge/all outdoors.
thanks. That helps to some extent.
Nope
