Does anyone know their average MCAT, or MCAT acceptance range?

They say a minimum of 500 I think but I was accepted with a lower score than that.

it seems that the entire anatomy course will go for just 12 weeks? I thought it will go for the entire semester or the year. Is that good or bad? what do you guys think?

I wouldn't be surprised if it came back around during the second year with the helical curriculum

You're given a week from your offer date to put down the first deposits and then 30 days from the offer to put down the second

I was accepted from the waitlist early this week as well! I look forward to meeting everyone soon!

 

[pstrick]

I'm going to be officially giving up my spot here in the next day or two.

It's been a crazy ride! Good luck, everybody!

 

[humble_nous]

Thanks pstrick! Where u going if I may ask?

 

[tinkerforlife88]

For those who are accepted, do you remember what they said about class hours?

Is it going to be from 8 - 3 or 5 everyday?

Classes are mandatory correct?

I believe that the time classes end every day probably depends on which classes are scheduled for that day. Anatomy exam days may run longer than other days.

Yes, classes are mandatory.

 

[tinkerforlife88]

Who is doing the anatomical sciences prep course?

 

[humble_nous]

Omg! Just got the call from Ms. Keyes...accepted off the waitlist!

Can anyone who is from Fort Smith recommend which side of town has the safest neighborhoods?

 

[YoungDoc25]

Can anyone who is from Fort Smith recommend which side of town has the safest neighborhoods?

North side of town is the rougher side for sure. For a landmark, that's near Sparks hospital. Everywhere else I would feel fine. The only problems you might have is if you leave your car unlocked at night. That's about as bad as it gets around here fortunately!

I'm not on this page much, but if you all have specific apartment complexes you have questions about, PM me or tag me on here and I'll give you my honest opinion. Congrats on getting in!

 

[ambitiousMED]

What was you guys' secondary prompt?

 

[bethygean]

If I remember right, I'm pretty sure it's only a background check...no essays

[tinkerforlife88]

Did any accepted students get the email about the anatomical sciences prep course?
Do you plan on attending??

 

[humble_nous]

Don't think I'll be in town in time.

 

[tinkerforlife88]

Don't think I'll be in town in time.

That was also my concern.
