[PuttingPlusChampion]

+1 OOS A

Also, just to confirm. An acceptance is not binding?

+1 OOS A

Also, just to confirm. An acceptance is not binding?

You're an OOS applicant so our Match Day in February doesn't apply to you.
You can accept and then according to AMCAS rules you can hold more than one admission until April when you need to narrow it down and withdraw from ones you don't plan to attend.

 

[orangchiken]

+1 OOS A as well 🤯🤯🤯

Are the emails coming out one at a time, or are people just slow to say they got the A? Wondering if I should stop worrying.

Seems to be going out deliberately and not a batch
Remember most offers at this school are on match day

[imoka]

Do they accept any OOS on match day?

 

[wysdoc]

Do they accept any OOS on match day?

OOS offers can come any time after their first admissions offers went out, all the way to when school starts.
Most will be around Match Day, with WL action happening from April to June

Does anyone know if Long accepts update letters pre-II? Don’t know if they are even planning on sending out more interview invites.

Yes, if you have something new to add send it to their admissions email.

Hiiii, current MS4 @ Long who has interviewed probably some of you. Happy to provide any insight and answer any Qs about my amazing school!

What has been your most and least favorite part about Long?

 

[johnnycashiscool]

Hiiii, current MS4 @ Long who has interviewed probably some of you. Happy to provide any insight and answer any Qs about my amazing school!

What is the day to day like?

Like how long do you have time to study prior to an exam and do you have time to take off after an exam?

How many required stuff do you have to go to on your average week?

 

[OGMayo10]

Hiiii, current MS4 @ Long who has interviewed probably some of you. Happy to provide any insight and answer any Qs about my amazing school!

I was wondering about how many hours a day both the most relaxed students spend on school and the more gunner-ish students do? Just like the typical blocks of time students spend on school. I am considering UTSW and wanted to see how it would compare to an environment that a lot of students claim on SDN requires 10-12 hours every single day, thanks in advance!

Sorry if I am about to word vomit right now, but match day is coming up so many of us are deeply analyzing our ranking lists lol.
*****

What are your genuine, genuine, sans kool aid thoughts on the non-P/F preclerk of Long?

Has the non P/F nature of long affected your mindset and stress regarding tests, to the point you may have wished it wasn't a thing?

Do you believe when Ad-coms/medschool staff say it helps for residency which is why they have it over p/f, even when PD polls say preclerk grades are lower priority when it comes to decision making, or do you think it is for other reasons Long decided non p/f was the move?

Since you are an MS4, do you have any evidence that it has impacted your residency applications positively or negatively?

Would you have preferred P/F, and what would you say for someone for example that might choose UTMB over Long because of P/F curriculum and a desire to not want uneeded stress from preclerk (i.e. someone who likes to use 3rd party to study and spends preclerk gunning for step mastery over everything and doesn't wanna worry about in house exams and/or graded tests)?

**************************
>> For context of my thought process, during my interview session with Long students, P/F was brought up and these were some of the comments

> it doesn't really hurt or harm you in residency apps due to not being a priority for PD
> it can be annoying for those who are type A but in reality other things matter more for residency
> one ped's gunning ms4 at Long (you might know who lol...) said his preclerk grades basically played 0 role in his residency apps
> they say that most people honors or near honors most classes either way, so it's not that big of a deal
> but if all these things are true.... what's the point of graded curriculum at all! med students for the most part are already self-driven type-A people when it comes to school. it seems like a nuisance if its either not affecting you or just an annoying stressor.
