Pre-II R. Complete September, LM 69
+2 🤠+1 🙁
Out of all my interviews I think this was one of the chillest if not the chillest interviewInterview coming up this Tuesday, I know you have to sign an NDA about the content but if anyone previously interviewed could talk about the stress level/their overall experience that would be great!
This is my top choice and I don't want to blow it 🤐
Ya love to hear it, thank you my friend. Any tips for last minute prep?Out of all my interviews I think this was one of the chillest if not the chillest interview
It's chill here. Just familiarize yourself with the MMI format and be yourself. Our prompts generally easier than most of the MMI prompts you'll find online.Ya love to hear it, thank you my friend. Any tips for last minute prep?
You’re a lovely human thank youIt's chill here. Just familiarize yourself with the MMI format and be yourself. Our prompts generally easier than most of the MMI prompts you'll find online.
Generally ramps up in April/May as students commit to one school. I think it goes into June/July, too. If I remember correctly, we generally have pretty good WL movement.How is the alternate list movement? Does.anybody know?
My admissions advisor switched again lol and still no pre-II R or anythingSame for me. Haven't received pre-II R or any communication really
I think some people are told in their acceptance letter, while others just find it on their financial aid letter. We have several scholarships for varying amounts floating around, but I think most people just find out first via their financial aid letter, followed up by an email later asking if you want to accept it. The amount you're rewarded can also change. If I recall correctly, my scholarship increased by 25% right before classes started.does RFU give out merit scholarships? if so, when?
When was your II?Just got the A today, no email but it was on my portal.
My interview was on 2/7 and they said it would be 3-6 weeks for a decision (today was 6 weeks)When was your II?
I was wondering the same thing. It mentioned the deposit being refundable if you withdraw before May 1st so I'm assuming it's non-binding? It wasn't very clear.I want to confirm that the declaration of intent form you sign after getting an A is not binding, right? Because they ask for your SSN and a deposit...

CMS will also send emails in your throughout the year (esp. during the spring semester(s)) with scholarship applications. Some of these require nominations either via grades or your peers (e.g. Excellence in Interprofessionalism, Dean's Excellence) while others are a simple application (e.g. CMS General Scholarship)
Some worthwhile news! Very strong match list for the class of 2023. Match rate of 99.4%

RFU Delivers Stellar Match Rates for Residencies in Medicine, Podiatric Medicine, Pharmacy and Clinical Psychology
Fourth-year medical and podiatric medical students celebrated Match Day on March 17. The annual rite of passage — in which students across the U.S. discover whwww.rosalindfranklin.edu
Gas match is very impressive this year compared to 2022, wow!I'm a current M4 here at CMS, we definitely had a good match list but the match rate was not 99.4%, that's likely the placement rate. I know there were a handful of people who did not get their first choice, or even dropped far down their program list in competitive fields (eg Rads this year). This year's match was significantly better than the class of 2022, especially for competitive fields (for example last year we had nearly 50 students, or a quarter of the class, match into IM and around 20 match FM, some of which were vying for competitive fields and didn't match their first choice).

Just to follow up. As an M1, this was a big deal for me when it came to where I applied. Sometimes RFU gets its fair criticism for not having a primary teaching hospital or for past LCME problems. But oh boy, the match results are pretty good and relatively consistent (95% pre-SOAP in 2022). That's a big deal.I'm a current M4 here at CMS, we definitely had a good match list but the match rate was not 99.4%, that's likely the placement rate. I know there were a handful of people who did not get their first choice, or even dropped far down their program list in competitive fields (eg Rads this year).
