Also just a little update for everyone. Loma just went through the LCGME site visit (essentially the national governing board that accredits medical schools). Sounds like everything went really well!!
For those who don't know, this happens every 8 years at medical schools for the maintenance of their accreditation. It's a big deal when the LCGME comes for their site visit because the literally spend days/weeks combing through everything at the school making sure everything education related is up to par.
As students there was nothing for us to worry about, just thought I'd share this for all those naysayers who like to hate on Loma. Do yourself a favor and disregard 80% of the hate that Loma gets online. It's a great school with great affiliated hospital systems that will prepare you to be an excellent physician. 20% of the hate is probably legit, but even then, no medical school is "perfect".
Anyways, congrats to everyone with the acceptances so far. For those waitlisted or rejected, remember it's not the end...just take the next right step and hope/pray for the best. There will always be something harder you will encounter in your life, and the way you respond to adversity now can define how you face challenges in the future. Regardless, I'm beyond proud of you all for working hard and persevering on this long road of medical education.
Like always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I'm pretty sporadic at checking SDN while on rotations, but I do my best to get back to y'all!
