Alternate list, also interviewed 1/14
Tell us about the student panel would you please
Hoping you get in
Mainly M1 and M2 students. They seemed very genuine and transparent with their experiences.
Things discussed:
- GR vs EL. Both campuses have pros and cons related to the community but ultimately have the same resources.
- A lot of support and camaraderie between students. Not a competitive atmosphere at all.
- They all seemed really pleased with the early clinical exposure. Still have plenty of time to study and be prepared for class despite all the activities (including those that are part of the certificate programs).
- Plenty of resources/options for research and mental health assistance.
My brain was depleted of oxygen for the last 20 minutes after I got the alternate list email 🥲 so if I missed anything it would be great for anyone else to fill us in!
Hope this helps

Thank you. Idk what to send for updates and whatnot. Not sure if they actually make a difference:/
I would definitely consider sending a letter of intent maybe after a week or 2 if MSUCHM is your number one choice

Hi everyone, I'm a new sdn user. I got accepted last Tuesday and wanted to ask if the AMCAS CYMS option does not show until the conditional acceptance is changed to a formal acceptance?
I am also newly accepted and I don’t have the option on amcas yet. Did anyone receive their background check email yet?? I haven’t
Any acceptances today yet?

Rejected this morning
You really only need to send it to the school where you will enroll
I'm trying to send it to MSU, since I know they have to turn my conditional acceptance into a formal one. But, I am unsure how I should send it to MSU. Any tips?
If your Certiphi portal says "Released to Schools" then it has already been sent electronically. It requires no further action on your part.
I feel like most people will be accepted off the waitlist after April 30th.

Hello all! I am an M1 at CHM on spring break! AMA - DM me your questions and I will answer them in a series of posts over the next few days!
Hi🙂 do you mind giving like an in depth explanation of how the classes work? Are lectures mandatory? Any tips for incoming M1’s? Sorry if that was a lot

Sure!
For classes: every Monday morning you have Large Group which largely reviews and expands on material from the weekend. You have one simulation per week where you learn physical exam skills, etc… One anatomy lab per week and one IBL lab per week, which is basically histology. There are two small groups per week, and I think this is some of the most valuable time to discuss, clarify, and solidify understanding of material. Finally, you have your clinic experience in there! Everything is pretty much required, but because of the flipped classroom model, you’re not in 8-5 lectures all day, every day.
My biggest tip would be to keep in mind that this school gives you a lot of autonomy over how you learn material. This can make it VERY easy to get bogged down in comparing yourself to others. Keep in mind that no two students study the exact same way, and if you try something and it doesn’t work for you, try something new!

How long does the Certiphi background check take? I submitted mine on Feb 23 and it still says "not completed", but I'm not sure if I should be worried and contacting them or if it will still take longer...

for the scholarship essays, does anyone know how are we supposed to write it? is it supposed to be personal statement/experiences caliber or more straight forward?
