It's a whole lot closer to USM than it is to Carey. The future address is 6355 US 49, Hattiesburg, MS, and they are 3/4 bedroom townhouses.
I have a gentleman who is a native of Hattiesburg in my church and he said that the area/apartments really close to WCUCOM can be a bit shady. I have not yet visited Ivy Row's area because its under construction. But being 10 mins away from WCUCOM might not be a bad thing.
Lots of apartment complexes large and small are within 10-15 minutes of Carey, so there are a ton of options!
Absolutely! But for me, its Ivy Row because I don't want to bring my own furniture from my home so I can visit since its just 1.5 hours away on the weekends or something. Its the cheapest I could find that's fully furnished, plus everything is going to be brand new. I like that its gated as well with a gym (maybe a coffee bar?? heard about it in the open house meet). The only downside I could see was roommates but its guaranteed it will be fellow WCUCOM students so it dispelled my worries and turned into a huge plus!
Look at SDN feedback interview page for WCUCOM. Have good answers for why physician, why DO, and some weakness and strengths. Very relaxed interview, they were really nice and actually seemed very attentive to what you’re saying which helped me stay confident when answering questions.
I'm a current OMS-1 student. Feel free to dm me. Can't guarantee I will reply right away since we are swamped with exams at the moment!
tuition is $46,000/ year ... cheaper than many DO schools
Yeah I did and accepted . it’s not required
most people spend ~$1000-$1200/month for rent if they're living by themselves, less if they want/have roomates... the school should have or will give you a break down of the max you can loan tuition + expenses/year (for us it was $88K)! i would personally reccomend adding $2-3K on to what you budget just in case auto/tech/etc. issues come up!
I learned at one of my other FinAid presentations that you can ask for an increase for tech (1 time in the four years), unexpected medical costs, and unexpected transportation costs. It's up to the school if they will allow it, but doesn't hurt to ask. I would still budget an emergency fund, but an increase in your COA could possibly replenish that fund.
The website says its $949. Perhaps they had a renovation.
School should start the week of July 31st. 1st year orientation is usually 3 days in length (at least that's how ours was last year). Make sure to have your living situation and other non-school related matters taken care of before than!
I think it means that They have received your secondary and are considering to interview or not. If you do get the interview invite then after, you could be accepted, rejected, alternate list or "accepted pending seat", or deferred/waitlist.
I interviewed when my Casper exam scores were pending, but got the full acceptance after my scores released. I scored in the 3rd quarter. I don't know if it influenced my acceptance, but I strongly suspect not. The admissions committee had already placed me on a rank toward the front end of the alternate list/"accepted pending seat" list. When deposits were due in October, I got the full acceptance.
I think you are mixing up deferred (waitlist) with alternate list (accepted pending seat). Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
OOPS you may be correct. My memory is fuzzy since its a while ago. I edited it to correction. Thanks for catching it!
I signed a lease for Ivy Row from the recommendation of Mrs. Martha from WCUCOM. They set aside units for specifically WCUCOM students so you don't have to find your own roommate. They will gender match or mix gender you as well depending on what you indicate on your application for housing.
They will match you for pets too with WCUCOM students. If you are worried, you can also call them to inquire before sending an app
hasn't been finalized yet, but will probably be july 31st-august 2nd for orientation and then you'll start some classes on the 2nd, but like i said not finalized. i would plan on being fully moved in and ready to rock and roll on july 31st!
I talked to Ivy Row and the lease doesn't actually start until August 13th. Their goal is to have us in by the end of July but there is no guarantee, so I have some reservations about that.
Based on previous posts from this thread, most likely Thursday morning. Hang in there!
i would venture to say there may be at least another round of II's that go out in April and in May and then another bunch in June/July as things really finalize! it aint over till matriculation!
When did you interview? I interviewed today, no way I hear back tomorrow right?
Yeah, the lease doesn't itself start until August 13th when payment is due, but you can sign it now to lock you in if you want to live there and move in before classes start. As of now, the place is not built yet but they do plan on finishing construction well before our classes start for everyone to move in. In the WCUCOM group me, we had a discussion about what happens if construction is not finished. Some of the students reached out to Ivy Row and apparently, if they are not finished in the summer (due to weather etc.), Ivy Row will place us in hotels or something. I know this is not assuring for everyone. It was ok with me personally because I have my parents home just 1.5 hours from WCUCOM so its really not a risk for me since I can just commute each day until my place is done, if by chance it comes to that and I don't like Ivy Row's hotel/other accommodations. I talked with Mrs. Priscilla (the admin for Ivy Row) recently and she said their on track so far.
Did Mrs. Priscilla give you the information of your roommates? I was wondering if I would have the chance to talk to them beforehand. I filled out the application and signed the lease, I just haven't actually sent the lease in because I am coming from Florida, so in the event Ivy Row isn't ready, I do not have many options. But I will probably end up sending it in.
Yeah she did. I was able to reach out to them by email. But their contact info was in the bill email stating I need to pay rent by August 13th. I say this because until you sign the lease, the system wont give their info to you. But maybe Mrs. Priscilla will if you call her so who your roommates are and how well you vibe might help your decision to sign the lease.
anybody interviewd on february 23 recieved Acceptance
