They usually fill up closer dates first, then open up farther away dates

you could email them and say you'd be willing to have an earlier date if someone cancels... maybe this jan date was from a cancellation.
Long wait for you, sorry!

For sure! Once you get your cores out of the way in 3rd year, you have the option to schedule away rotations in 4th year and those can be anywhere. I’ve had a couple rotations at academic centers like UH and Dell (Austin).

Anyone know how long they give you to make a deposit/accept your seat?

did you have to set up those rotations yourself or does the school have affiliations with UH and Dell? I’ve been curious what affiliations UIW has when it comes to elective rotations during 4th year.

Can any current students speak to how preclinicals are going? I have an II for here in January. I know that UIWSOM just introduced the 8-12 MF schedule for OMS1 & 2. Also I saw that first time board passing rates for COMLEX level 1 are up to 90% which is much better than in the past!
