Could any current students let me know if there are any activities we need to be on campus for before orientation on 8/14? Thank you!

Edit to add data point for those still awaiting a decision: IS interview 11/21, A 1/5.

Im so curious about the admissions for the Lead program. Like I know the cohort is ~25 and applicants have to be approved by the main committee and the Lead committee, but with a new program, I wonder how they’re going about acceptances

Also since it's such a small class, I'm curious if the LEAD or main committee's evaluation holds more weight when evaluating applicants to the program.

They are separate evaluations done by separate committees (i.e, they don't influence each other). You can still become a student if you are accepted to the MD program but not LEAD, but you can't if you are accepted to LEAD and not the MD program. Also, a class size of 200-225 is not small (unless you're speaking to the LEAD class size, then yes - it's a small class...but that's usually the average number of students accepted to a track at any other med school).
 
Does anyone know what sort of clinical experiences there are for students here pre clerkships? I’m struggling to navigate their website
