Are you IS or OOS if you don’t mind me asking?
Current M4 here, you will most definitely need a car as an M3. Regardless of which hospital you do your core rotations at, you will have to do something at a satellite clinic/hospital (IE students rotating at St John do their family medicine rotation at a clinic that is a 10-15 minute drive away, and students at Henry Ford might have to go to Henry Ford Wyandotte for part of their OB/GYN rotation).
For students who don’t drive what options do they pursue? Cause idk if I can afford a car or take driving lessons at this time…
Not to be too blunt but this is the Midwest. You need to drive M3. You have two years to figure something out before then.
Doesn’t clerkship start the second half of year 2?
Clerkships for the incoming class would start in March/April of 2025 (If I am mathing correctly lol), but you will have a clinical placement that you will need to go to 1-2x a month during M2. This could be at DMC (aka you could easily walk there), but I feel like the majority of students are placed at smaller clinics or branches that essentially require you to drive there. You could get away with just using Uber or Lyft during M2, but that will add up very quickly during M3
How about during M4?
I am only an M2, so I can't really speak from personal experience regarding M4. I'm pretty sure you will have elective rotations, audition rotations, and maybe some more during M4, but I think it would be better if an M4 answers this
It all depends on where you are and what you want to do. If you’re planning on going into something like IM you could probably get by without a car as long as you lived near DMC or Henry Ford. If you’re interested in some of the more specialized fields (like anesthesia) or fields where rotation spots can be tight (OB/GYN) you will probably end up rotating at multiple sites.
Be for real…….
It's completely P/F during M1 and M2. If for the whole school year, you have an overall grade that is 1 S.D. above the overall average of your class, you get honors for that school year. Clinicals is P/F and if you get X% of pts, you get honors. There's no set number of students that can get honors for preclinicals or clinicals. I'm not 100% sure how AOA works here, so maybe an M3 or M4 can answer that.
Thanks for replying. Also, are the students ranked preclinical?
Not sure if there has been a curriculum shift, but I heard from an M4 that you are internally ranked. They said they found out while applying for residency.
The top 10% of the class in M1 and M2 are invited to apply during M3. The top 25% of the class during are invited to apply during M4. Once invited to apply, students have to go through an application process that assesses their leadership, service, and research. Applications have not gone out yet so I cannot provide more information about this.
Based on your grades across M1-3 you are given a superlative on your MSPE that corresponds to your place in the class (IE exceptional is given to the top 5% of the class).
You have 5 business days to PTE. CTE deadline is June 14. Orientation starts July 5.
I’ve noticed the same thing. Hoping they’re still giving IS applicants a chance!
I’m IS and got an acceptance last week so hopefully it happens for the rest of you!
What time were you accepted if you don’t mind me asking?
OOS - ~1pm MST
omg congrats! could you share your stats if your comfortable?
Can anyone who was accepted provide an update to this number? Thank you.
Casual default unless you’re in Kado Clinical Skills or P4 (business casual/clinic wear)
Currently, it says 263 seats of 320 have been reserved.
Hmmm they must have increased their class size for this cycle.
No. They have not updated the tracker since early May.
Thank you for sharing this. Could you possibly update this figure now that the CTE date has passed? Thanks!
