Quick question, I have been looking but cannot find much on if CHSU has student run community clinics. Anyone have info on this?

I haven't seen anything. I don't think they do. However it does present a great opportunity for incoming students to make their mark and establish one 🙂

mind sharing stats?

 

[senzubean33]

mind sharing stats?

Don't want to jinx it so I can after my interview and know my fate 🙂 My stats are not high by any means though. I think I'm a good fit and my EC's are solid though. Volunteer, research, publication etc.

 

[premeduser998]

[dullprocedure]

Anyone’s letters still “under review” on the secondary portal?

[drthedude]

501 mcat/ 3.9x. I think my essays were top notch. I really went in depth on the challenges of central valley
And how to approach them

Where did you find the challenges? Google? How many did you discuss?

 

[drewmighty]

I used local health reports on disparities. Talked about the ability of student run clinics and how they had an effect on their local communities. Hopefully it is good wnough

[drthedude]

I'm genuinely surprised that they don't have a student run free clinic

[DancingHusky]

Great opportunity to be trendsetters!

 

[latransplant]

how long do LORs take to get reviewed? submitted mines on Tuesday and still under review

 

[Bunn7]

Does anyone know which questions may be asked during the interview

 

[medgirlypop]

how long do LORs take to get reviewed? submitted mines on Tuesday and still under review

wondering the same thing, submitted on Sunday though

 

[Kebabboy7]

Does anybody know about the Hot Peppers exercise for the interview? Do we have to answer the questions and everything before the interview?

 

[senzubean33]

Does anybody know about the Hot Peppers exercise for the interview? Do we have to answer the questions and everything before the interview?

It’s for a team based learning exercise. I’m sure we will learn more about it on interview day 🙂

The what? No II yet just curious

 

[dullprocedure]

same. my LORs are still under review

 

[Kebabboy7]

Seems like it’s a exercise we are going to do during interview day I think it just revolves around their team based learning and want to demonstrate it for us by having us be a part of the exercise.

 

[Kebabboy7]

It’s for a team based learning exercise. I’m sure we will learn more about it on interview day 🙂

🥲 I’m just trying to know if we have to review it and answer the questions before the interview or just leave it for until the interview because I don’t want to come unprepared.

Current OMS-1 here. Don't worry about it. They just wanna demonstrate how team based learning works.

II RECEIVED OOS

when did you submit your secondary?

 

[zgrybrs]

My payment was processed yesterday but still does not reflect on my portal. Did anyone else have the same issue?

 

[Achelorn]

Oh so we don't have to worry to much about the Hot Peppers exercise? I have my interview next week and was wondering if that exercise was part of the interview....

 

[senzubean33]

It is. It states it in the interview email.

Its part of the interview, just teaches you how TBL works. You don't need to know anything going into it. Its just an activity.

 

[PDColph]

I'm still waiting on a secondary

 

[DOctorCAL1]

[senzubean33]

Has anyone else interviewing next week been given the interview questions? I see in previous cycles they have had the questions before the interview but I haven’t received any. Just wanted to double check.
