For someone who has HMSOM as their top school and hasn’t gotten an A yet with 6 interviews this makes me feel SO much hope. Crossing my fingers for all of us who really want to go here! Maybe we’ll be in your shoes shortly. Thank you soooo much for the words of encouragement/comfort!!
Likely strategy instead of being disorganized. I presume they want to see who unenrolls from the class before they give acceptances. Or people who won't come here because they have another A at a better school
Dont worry I'm well aware they are disorganized. But them waitlisting most people until April is not because they are disorganized. Seems like a strategy to me
Yup, me!
Hello, current student! Yes, you need a car. People live anywhere they can find affordable housing, some at home with their parents. Some even live in NYC. And even if you find housing right near campus (I know of a few people who are close enough that walk to school), you will need a car for LCP and Human Dimension VP stuff first year. Plus clerkships 2nd year. So yeah, no getting around it, you need a car here.
🥲🥲 they told me when I toured the campus that the parking there isn’t free which is so sad. Would you drop the price here or at least let us know if it’s expensive? LMAO at myself for asking about this while still awaiting a response from them
No free parking on a campus that requires cars and costs $75k in tuition and fees alone?? Price was already my main reason that I likely won’t be choosing the school. That’s disappointing
Parking is free on campus. I mean, not really because it’s included in tuition, but it’s not something you can opt out of. You do need a parking pass but no extra fees for parking. At least as of this year and I haven’t heard of changes like that happening.
wondering this too
Yes, I believe so
Cool seeing a neurosurgery match now! I dont think i saw that in the previous match lists. Huge
It includes those in P3R. There were about 30ish this year
Awesome! Is there anywhere we can see the data on the p3r specialities?
Bless for actually explaining it the right way!! I forget who gave me my tour the first time at the open house but they said that parking was paid for on campus and def neglected to say that it was already built into tuition LOL!! I’m thinking maybe he meant to say that it was built into the tuition but he just went on more about what the costs & tuition cover for you like the facilities and such at the school.
Just a heads up for all of you. If you are assigned Hackensack University Medical Center, the parking is not on-site. It's about 15 minutes away and you need to take a shuttle. I haven't been to every site but the others have on-site parking or very close.
Out of curiosity, could someone please explain to me how their delayed timeline is to/would scam MSAR stats? Thanks!
This is purely my own conspiracy theory but like basically they wait to actually accept wait list people (who are more likely to be lower stat) until after the next years msar goes out which makes the admit gpa/mcat stats higher aka makes the school look more prestigious but also I just saw something that said msar stats are actually a full cycle behind so idk
That's big brained
lol same
Got the email too. I was preparing for a WL or R lol
Saaame 😭😭 I'm assuming if we went to a session we don't have to watch the recording right?
I emailed them and I hope the answer to that is no. I will gladly do it again if needs be, but I am hoping this was just a mass communication that was sent out. I attended the financial aid session last month, so it should be listed as being done.
I also emailed them about it since I went to all the sessions. If I get an update I’ll put it here!
Apparently it affected mainly dependent students, so we should hopefully be ok.
Same :/
The real tech is the friends you make along the way
Accepted yesterday via email.
Thanks. No, just the email.
Congrats!!! Were you off of the waitlist or did you just hear back after your interview?
Join the GroupMe asap haha! Congrats future doc
