Correct! In addition, there are some mandatory classes but not that many for example IPE and Ethics (around 2-3 times a month). Curriculum is also in block format so your first block will be muscleskeletal, next would be Biochem, etc.

So how often do students end up going to campus every week? Just wondering if it would be unrealistic to live in downtown denver as that is easier for my partner's work commute since she does not plan to drive.

I asked about commuting from CO Springs (because of my partner’s job as well) and the admin said tons of students commute with no issues so I imagine living in downtown Denver would be a similar situation. They noted if weather is an issue they will cancel/reschedule classes with enough time for those who commute.
For 1st and 2nd year I’m planning on being there most if not all week M-F (unless all classes happen to be online in one day), just make the most of your commute by finding study groups or using the library! 🙂

What lilred21 said is correct! Lots of people live in Denver, Colorado Spring, Littleton, Golden, Castle Rock, etc. I would say the mandatory classes depends on what block you are in. I watch most of my lectures after it is recorded so I do not go to class. My schedule for this week I had mandatory lab on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (these are going to be in the afternoon and could end around 6pm depending on what group you are).

Thank you both! Is traffic pretty bad then since labs end around rush hour? Not sure if denver traffic is as bad as some other urban cities.
 
Can current students comment on the grading system? I saw on the website its is P/F with honors but it doesnt mention what the cutoff for H is.
 
Any interview tips that would be helpful? Also is there a formal interview day, or is it really just an interview on its own?

The whole interview process only took about an hour, there were staff intros with everyone interviewing that day and then separate breakout rooms with you and your interviewers. It was very low stress, so just try to be as relaxed and friendly as possible 🙂
 
Does anyone know when adcom meets to determine interview decisions? I know it's once a month, but it looks like somewhere between the 2-3rd week of the month, with results mostly coming back on the third week. Hoping that I can hear back from RVU before putting in a large deposit else where lol
 
Getting nervous since I interviewed 1/31 and haven’t heard anything 😵‍💫
 
Has anyone who is going to the accepted students day March 9th received an email with more information?

Did anyone else receive an email about them hosting an application workshop? I thought it was an R and they were offering feedback services but they didn’t say that explicitly

Do you mind sharing if you interviewed?

yes, i got one too. i haven't interviewed yet. thought it was funny that it says "We understand the application process has many stressful stages of uncertainty" but they literally just added another layer of uncertainty
