Have you tried to communicate with the school?

Nope. I guess I'll wait 2-3 more weeks and see what happens.

Does anyone know if they use NBME style exams? I'm trying to compare all the PR schools, and it seems that having board based exams might be a pretty big plus

Según el artículo que puse abajo, la única escuela que utiliza exámenes NBME es SJB.

A current MS4 told me his class worked towards getting the administration to change the exams to NBME style so it might be either underway or already implemented.

Has anyone heard something after the interview? It has been more than a month ever since and I haven’t received a response. I emailed the school and nothing 🙃

Hola,

I emailed them recently. According to an admissions representative, no admissions decisions have been made (no one has been accepted into the class of 2025). They are trying to send decisions emails/ letters in the next couple weeks.

They are keeping us on our toes! We should make a group chat for all the applicants.

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

anyone know how late they typically interview, are there a lot more interview slots left?

 

[estrogen97]

I interviewed with them on January 8th and still have not heard back.

Mi entrevista fue el 29 de enero y me dijeron que de 3 a 4 semanas tendría una respuesta. Pero hasta ahora nada 🙁

Is this school accredited? I heard it wasn’t and I’m not quite sure how they would handle it (or are handling it) so info from an insider would be really helpful. Thank you.

According to their website (Medical Program Accreditation | Universidad Central del Caribe) their accreditation is under probation.

I seem to recall them saying in the interview that we should reach out to them if we hadn't received a decision within a certain amount of time. Does anyone else remember hearing this? I'd hate to burden them unnecessarily but it also feels like I've been waiting a long time lol

I reached out to them after like 6 or 7 weeks of waiting and got my decision the next day.
