Hey! I’m thinking about signing up for June 2-27 biochemistry boot camp and in-person anatomy boot camp June 30-July 11.

Were they worth it?
Should I do both?

Are there research opportunities at ARCOM? How difficult is it to get into?

i think they can be worth it if you’ve struggled in either of those courses or have never done a cadaver dissection before. i personally didn’t do either but i know people who benefitted from both

it depends on what type of research you’re trying to do. there are many professors doing research right now. they suggest not getting involved in research until the summer after first year. they’ll have many conversations with the class about it.

Has anyone done the 1yr masters at ARCOM?
I got a rejection after my secondary was submitted, but an offer to interview for their masters that has a conditional guaranteed interview with ARCOM.

Any news from the 2/7 interview date? Wondering if they will wait until next week to let us know our fate 🤔

I didn’t do it, but there are probably 10-15 students in my class off top my head that were in the masters program.

Nice! Did they have much of a challenge getting in, or was it an easy A, knowing the faculty and having letters of rec from them?

Imo, from what I have heard/seen, if you do decent in the masters program, you have a really good chance of getting into arcom.

For current students, do they give you an anatomical structures list of things you need to know?

Yes, there's a tag list for every block along with the dissection guides!

Also, there was an email sent out recently that your incoming class will be getting Bootcamp for free! A lot of first years thought it was helpful. I personally never used it though.

 

[Stallion76]

Did anyone bring their family with them on interview day?

 

[whistlingparsnips30]

I withdrew from my seat yesterday. Hoping it goes to one of you guys here! Good luck!

I wasn’t sure if they were allowed on the tour or anything like that. Thanks for answering!

no its just the applicant allowed to participate in interview day. there are open houses where family members can come on tours

 

[novasmom]

Still hoping for a secondary from here!

Any current students using local meal prep services? Never tried it before, and I was curious how many students use one or just cook.

i cook. it’s cheaper and gives me a study break! do whatever works best for you with your schedule and finances.

For accepted students anyone get updates on housing?

There's a local one called Stu's Clean cooking and a few others! I've personally done factor and it's a good option for days when I'm super burnt out, plus there's always deals. I think I got my first box free and you can rotate through coupons to get more free options/upgrades.

Are they still sending out secondaries?

 

[Hand_Sanitizer]

Is the $500 reservation fee applied toward the total rent or is it separate?

 

[km1119]

Is anyone doing the MSB program? Would love to connect 🙂

 

[heyyall]

withdrew my offer, really hope the good news goes to someone here. This school is still the best experience in this cycle for me

Sorry if this was already asked but when do we enroll in classes and receive our financial aid ?

I gave up my seat today for ARCOM. It was bittersweet but had another opportunity come up. I hope one of you on the WL get this seat. Best of luck!

The school automatically enrolls you in the classes. Financial aid usually is received during first week of classes
