Crap. So there's still a chance.

Once you move to your clinical site you don't have to come back to Dothan until graduation (you are required to attend by law to take the oath). We had OSCE's (fake clinical encounters) that were optional to prepare you for the trip to Philly to take COMLEX-2 PE.

Not at all, I had a 3.68 cGPA and 3.62 sGPA with a pretty awful MCAT... 494. But decent EC's and a lot of shadowing hours. There is hope for all!

Summerfield has an open apt. If you haven't yet join the acom class of 2020 fb group.

I'm from Florida too and I got accepted today. What a whirlwind of a day! I'm excited to be joining the class of 2020. ☺️
Hey everyone! I will be interviewing here next month so any feedback would be great! Also, does this school have any ongoing research projects? I cannot seem to find anything on the websites besides how to start a project.

Excellent school with great staff. Not a lot in research. Last I heard they were looking at adding more in that area but not sure where it stands.

How close are the "further sites". Moving would not be "ideal" for me. Two kids in a wife who will be stationed near the school.

Someone pointed out that Troy and Centreville are no longer choices b/c they didn't attract enough students, but to answer your question the sites are not close together.

Does anyone know what the scene will be like the weekend in between orientation and first day of classes? Will people be around? Debating whether or not to head out of town that weekend!
For you recent acceptances, I resigned my seat a couple days ago and a spot in a summerfield apartment has opened up. I was supposed to room with a real chill dude, join the FB group and look for brittney tomlin (the apt manager).

Any current or incoming students living in summer field square apts have a dog? I'm wondering if there is a grassy area dedicated to dogs by the pet-friendly building.

Non-trad here as well. Moving is quite difficult when you have a fiancee with a career.

So I filled out all the information, made the payment, uploaded my essays, and hit "finish". But I never got a "secondary complete" screen or anything like that. How do I know whether it was submitted or not? There was a "submit another application" button next to the "finish" button. I didn't think that was right though... Has anyone else had this dilemma? Should I try the whole thing over again, or email their admissions office? Is there anyway I can check my status?

Just give them a call. However, my experience was the same as yours. If you made the payment and uploaded essays you should be good.

There are
Summerfield on-campus apartments (smaller and more expensive than off-campus, but with the benefit of walking to school etc.), and the following off-campus:
Sweetwater apartments,
Fieldcrest apartments,
a neighborhood of rental houses within walking/biking distance to campus. Several students & a few faculty live there. I'll have to ask classmates about the street name.
I'm sure there are other apartment complexes, but those are a few off the top of my head. Probably close to half the class live in off-campus housing. If you join your class Facebook page (assuming you've already been accepted to ACOM), there will be lots more housing info on there.
