My friend got that email and immediately withdrew. The audacity of the school to assume one would switch up from wanting to be a doctor to a pharmacist is absurd.
Yea it was so jarring. I cannot understand why they would send something like that
that's amazing, congrats!!
Does AZCOM do in-house exams or NBME?
The exams during 1st and 2nd year are in house exams. That being said, most of our instructors are also question writers for COMLEX, so our exams are largely board style questions. Especially as you progress later into 1st year (they take it a little easier early on). The content is very boards relevant, unlike the concerns I've heard at other schools where people feel like they are studying for school and boards separately. Lastly, instructors are very open to feedback on exams and routinely give points back if a large percent of the class misses it or it wasn't covered well in class.
what are your stats if u dont mind me asking
Most lectures are not mandatory. There's typically between 1 and 3 hours of mandatory attendance each day, depending on what is going on (tests, small groups, OMM, Clinical Ed, Dissection, etc.). As for being gone a day or two here or there, it depends entirely on what the reason is, how long you need to be gone, and whether it's on a test day. Because you will have 1-3 tests a week, it's challenging to miss tests. But some things are more flexible. You can reach out to the instructors when you need to miss something to get approval and work with them on any make-up work. Generally, the more notice you can provide, the better your outcome will be.
No, they are completely separate admissions processes.
Congrats! When did you interview?
+1
When I interviewed it was 30 minutes with two interviewers at one time, open format, and all they had access to was your personal statement. It could have changed since then as that was almost 4 years ago now. But overall it was very relaxed. They have some questions prepared to ask based off your material, but the conversation can flow naturally rather than just being your typical question and answer interview. I loved my interview day and it was one of the big reasons I chose to attend MWU.
I interviewed in March and this is accurate. At least for me, the questions were very standard - nothing caught me too off guard. Very relaxed and at times conversational but still structured with questions planned in advance. Practice common interview questions.
CONGRATS!!!🎉 when did u interview? I’m able to login to the portal but I haven’t had a change in my status so idk if that would affect your ability to login
