Hey guys! I didn't see a thread for AECOM yet, so I took action... Anyone know they're attending AECOM next year? Is there a 2nd look weekend?
Yeah just got the email...might actually check that out! Its good to know we'd have some semi-famous faculty
I actually might...seeing as how I'm from NY. I wonder what would happen if I showed up in Belfer and said I wanted to take a look around...My interview was in Weiler...and it looked pretty nice. This is all getting me more excited lol.ha! anybody thinking of doing a second visit on their own? didn't get to see any of the hospitals etc..

anyone heard anything about any of these cases? it seems so out of step with aecom's student-friendly vibe....
Seems like some angry students lashing out...weird. I havent heard of anything like this from people I know who have gone to Einstein.
me neither. the one that was most concerning to me was the russian girl who claimed dr olson demanded certain "services" in anatomy class. seems like it was her word against theirs and she lost. not saying it actually happened, but just the idea of it is terrifying.
so where are most of you guys waiting to hear from the most?
If any of you want to come for a second look, you certainly could just show up, but I would personally suggest e-mailing or calling the admissions office a day or two ahead. That way they can set you up with a temporary ID, maybe a student guide, maybe a free meal. As you've noticed they tend to be pretty gung-ho about recruiting students who they have already admitted. If you guys have further questions, I'll do my best to check here pretty regularly and answer them. I'm a first year, and about to finish anatomy, so I'll have a little more time on my hands.
Just for the record, I am totally happy with the students, the location, and the school. But if you can, it might not be a bad idea to come try to get a little bit of feel for things. For some people (including me) this is ideal, but that's a really personal decision, a large part of which can only be determined by gut reaction.
Congratulations on your acceptances!
hey guys,
the academic calendar mentions a 2 week prep course in biochem and other stuff before orientation (scoll down to pre-matriculation):

i'm hoping this is optional; anyone want to confirm?
I'm positive that it's optional. I think they might recommend it to some who...for example, haven't taken biochem or genetics...
