Can we just accept the offer for now? But we just technically don’t have to pay the deposit until the first deadline? It’s my understanding that we can still rescind the acceptance if you got an acceptance elsewhere, correct?

Accept the offer and then you'll have the deposit deadline which is like two weeks if I remember correctly. You can rescind your acceptance at any point in time. The deposit is non-refundable.

I thought the deposit wasn’t due until December 15th no matter when you actually click accept the offer?

It is 12/15 for folks accepted before that date. People accepted in early 2025 have only 2 weeks to pay the deposit

My interview felt super dry and I was accepted! Don’t be discouraged!

My interviewer was great, and I felt we had a good discussion. I also learned more about clinical years through my interview. She said that about half the students are assigned to a year-long site, and hopefully, more year-long sites will be confirmed in the future. She said the goal is to have students stay at one hospital the entire time and to eliminate the need to change rotation sites continuously.

Lucky you. mine just read questions off a sheet of paper and it was not conversational at all.

Sorry to hear that you had issues! I didn't, other than the fact that I didn't realize my cat was still in the room with me and she walked right across my keyboard [webcam] during the MMI...please don't dock me for it...🥺

Do any of you have tips on preparing for the MMI? I am kind of nervous. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don’t stress about the mmi. Just be empathic and ask questions and you’ll be fine

Agree with above, don't worry too much about it. Just be a normal human being, and you will do just fine. Ask questions, be open-minded, and donʻt jump to conclusions.

 

[pibespo]

Anyone have any interview day tips? Or a general feel/layout for the interview? I'm interviewing 11/7 and 11/8 so I'm a little nervous!

I was pretty stressed due to the panel format, but I got lucky and only had a traditional 1-on-1 interview which was pretty chill. The MMI was not that bad either, just play the part while being empathetic and caring.
