does this school still have mandatory attendance? how bad is it?

 

[maha2398]

What have you guys heard - good and bad about this school? Trying to gauge where to put my deposit. I’m an In-state student and this schools about four hours away from family so I have it high up on my list. Does anyone maybe know any current medical students I can reach out too?

What do you want to know

 

[Billy4810]

Hello! I want to apply this month (i know I'm super late in the cycle). My stats are 3.0 sgpa and 3.3 cgpa and an MCAT of 509. Is there any chance I can make and is it still worth applying? I really want to start this fall, so looking for any advice especially from current students who may know the landscape.

last year CHSU struggled to fill their class, so its not impossible as long as no deadlines have passes. it is late and it may be prudent to wait and apply for the 2025-2026 cycle to better your chances with all schools.

 

[futuredoctorista1995]

anyone else interview today! thoughts?

 

[sonnyangle]

IS (socal) II earlier today !!

 

[daisyy0817]

Unfortunately I got waitlisted in December and I’m super bummed as this is my top choice. I am a central CA resident with ties to Fresno area. I sent a letter of intent. I’m not sure how much this helps or if it does at all… best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back!

 

[LowerPotential]

Does going to the open house help with interviews?

In the same boat except I’ve been waitlisted since late October

What are your stats, if you don’t mind, or pm me?

 

[eatmoregrapes]

interviewed 11/19 --> WL --> A 12/13
SoCal resident

 

[Pumpkinatoric]

What do you guys think are your chances if you've gotten waitlisted for this school?

I know some of the newer DO schools have wild waitlist movements because they're usually people's safety picks but idk if a W at CHSU is a soft R or not?
