Hey guys,

I interviewed on the 19th. No phone call or notice, but my portal has an "Accepted Student" agreement checklist. I'm assuming this is good news. Just FYI for anyone else who interviwed Tuesday. I LOVE this school 🙂.

Me too!!!! I think we can get excited now! Congrats!!!!!

 

[alphasyn]

congrats to everyone who got accepted!

so i got accepted to AZCOM and was interviewed at CCOM this week, waiting to hear back from CCOM as they said it will be probably be near thanksgiving before they announce another batch of acceptances. i love both campuses so far and both locations are great, suburbs but not too far from downtown.

my question is, if i pay the $1000 deposit/sign the matriculation statement for AZCOM, will the system automatically withdraw my application for the chicago campus? I have until 12/15/10 to make my decision, however, i am just afraid that i still haven't hear back from the CCOM by that time...and of course I want to hold my spot in AZ...

if someone has ever run into this situation before, feel free to comment. thanks!

No they won't withdraw your application from CCOM. Those are completely seperate medical schools (even though they are part of the Midwestern University system). So if you are sure about AZCOM go ahead and put that deposit down and live the good life the rest of the year, but if you still want to wait on CCOM it won't hurt you to, as long as you don't miss the deadline. Good luck on your decision.

I see, thanks alot for the info!
I definitely want to see what CCOM has to say before I put down $1000 for AZCOM

Has anyone heard back from Dr. Speicher regarding their rotation placements for 3rd year? I sent him an e-mail like the letter said the day I received it but never got a response. I interview at Western tomorrow and its going to be a tough decision between them and AZCOM if I get in. After that the deposit is going to be made to one of the schools in the very near future.

Its nice to know that in the near future I'm going to be done with this whole process.

 

[denco88]

I have a 3.5cGPA, 3.6sGPA with a HUGE upward trend... I have a lot of work hours, research hours, volunteer and shadowing hours. Also a scholarship student athlete. 28s MCAT

I just turned mine in last week... But I didn't hear anything from him either. Maybe they are waiting to get more of them in to see who chooses other sites. Or maybe we need to pay our deposits before they decide since some of us may end up elsewhere... Makes sense to wait until everyone is set on going there first. Good luck at your interview tomorrow!!! Rock it!

When I interviewed, they said they were going to let us know what rotation we get before we have to put down the deposit. I have a feeling they are going to wait until they have more responses. Yay I'm so excited! I keep logging back into the portal to make sure the checklist is still there.

 

[seap3]

I also emailed my preference right away and haven't heard anything.

Thats what I was told also. If I do get into Western, the rotation site could play a role in which school I pick. We'll see. I may call if I get in and see what they say.

 

[BobtheDoc]

Stats for those who have been accepted?

I submitted mid-August (late MCAT taker)
3.4 c, 3.2 s, 36T - interviewed on 10/20, coming as a non-trad from nursing.

 

[aren21]

Hey everyone congrats on the acceptances! I was accepted yesterday and I was wondering about the rotations like some of the others. If I remember correctly, we should be able to chose our rotation locations after we are offered acceptance. Do we have to pay the deposit first? I hope not because I will be waiting until the last minute because I need to hear back from another school that I'm interviewing at in a few days. Anyone know how to go about selecting a city for rotations? Just call Admissions ?

From what its seems like, the information will come in our acceptance packets, and then we email them

You'll get an acceptance letter in the mail that will include the form to fill out for your top 3 rotation site choices. You can either email, fax, or send it back.

Excellent! Thanks everyone.

Hey there. I know that some of you dropped interviews at ATSU-Soma after being accepted at AZCOM. I was wondering if anyone had some insight into why you think one school tops the other. I've read through both forums, so sorry if I missed the info. Any thoughts would be great... I've been accepted to AZCOM and loved it, and I can't decide whether I want to shell out the money to fly back to Phoenix so soon..

I think its just how people feel.. AZCOM has a great reputation and I felt they were super impressive during the entire interview day. Their numbers are amazing and they seemed like they really cared. I actually pulled out of several interviews after being accepted... I gave this advice to someone else as well... If you are questioning whether or not to go on the interview, you probably shouldn't. Especially if your heart is not in it, it would just be a big waste of money. The only interviews I kept were the programs in my mind that could match or best AZCOM as an experience....

Hope that helps!!

I cancelled many interviews after getting my AZCOM acceptance... Including my SOMA interview... You know, I went into this cycle with my top choices, without even really visiting any of them. I just knew that AZCOM was my top DO school, out of state that is (TCOM would be my real #1 DO school)... I didn't feel that anything could touch the original list I had in mind. Even if I went to the SOMA interview, I would be going in with the idea that AZCOM was better. It was not so much about the money of flying back out for me as it was about already knowing what I wanted... Just go with your gut. I saw a post once where someone decided to go to the SOMA interview after their AZCOM acceptance, and they ended up loving SOMA and ended up going there. I guess it's all about your attitude. If you already don't want to go, you may regret spending the money and going from the beginning, which will ultimately ruin your experience at SOMA...

YAYYY accepted for 2015!!!

given this is my school of choice, I'm pretty satisfied... 😍

I interviewed October 13th and I found out Oct 22nd!!!! No phone call, just open MWUNET portal for accepted student and payment request!

Congrats! But eeek! Did you call them and find out yet? You should call AZCOM tomorrow if not... Then figure this out quickly before it is too late and you have to pay the fine. I'm sure everything will turn out ok though. Gosh, this makes me glad that I live in Texas, I get speeding tickets pretty much every year... Luckily, I always get to take the driving class and get it off my record. Crap, living in AZ is going to be a bigger change then I thought... I may have to actually drive the speed limit... That's just crazy.

 

[theli]

I interviewed on Tuesday 10/19 and I think I've been accepted since I see the matriculation sheet when I log in to the MWU website. I could be wrong but I hope not.

stats for those curious 3.5/35.

 

[DbDan]

Any current students that read this. ATT or Verizon for cell service? I'm going to renew my contract before I go to school so I can get my 25% discount through work 😉 haha

From what I've gathered, most people with either don't seem to have too much trouble. I have ATT and never have issues around campus aside from when my phone has been sitting in an anatomy lab locker for three hours, but that's kind of expected.

haha I know, taught me a lesson 😛 It's hard to go speed limit at 1am in the middle of nowhere...

but in AZ the speeding laws are ridiculously strict!!!

so is azcom ur first choice?

AZCOM is my first choice out of state DO school... Hehe. I have catagories for everything... Any school in Texas would be my first choice though! 😀 Three more weeks until I find out if I received an early acceptance to the Texas schools I interviewed with in September... It's such a long wait compared to the less than 2 weeks I had to wait for AZCOM!

What about you? Is this it for you?

Texas does take it's time with it's "special" admission guidelines lol
But AZCOM is def my top-out of state DO too. I'm interviewing at univ of az soon so who knows!? Lol Azcom is my safety school tho, I would not go to touro-nv if I didn't have to :/ I'd rather go to Az lol so much nicer than Nevada!! But then again.... It is still early !

 

[Umm]

Verizon, hands down. I have AT&T, I hate it.

Edit: I'm waiting for the rumored arrival of iPhone to Verizon this Winter before I switch. Even if it doesn't happen, I'll switch then.

I don't see it happening until LTE is out. I'm likely going to go Month to Month on ATT until June when I get ready to leave for school. They don't audit your employment once you sign the contract so that will give me with the longest time of my discount. Plus will get me the new iPhone, be it on Verizon or ATT.

 

[lftbndlbrnchblk]

Accepted as well! Will definitely attend and I already paid the deposit. Did you guys set up your new email addresses? I've started to get emails from the school about orientation and things of that nature already to that new address. Do it if you haven't yet and actually plan on going!

😀

 

[DbDan]

The e-mail option is only available if you've paid your deposit right?

Since you've already paid, have you heard anything about your 3rd year rotation site yet?? I'm hoping to hear from Western next week and then make my decision. Whatever I decide, I'll probably pay the deposit in about 2 weeks 😱 crazy

How much is Westerns deposit? That is crazy that you are getting so close to finishing with this process! I think I am going to wait until the last possible day on this... Though, sometimes I feel like if I don't pay now, my spot won't be there when I need it... I keep checking my status every few days to make sure it's still there! 🙄

Western is 1000 due on Dec 15th also. I don't see myself changing my mind barring an unexpected interview invite from PCOM or an MD. I'd just rather have my deposit down and have my seat set up than sit around knowing I have to save 1000 dollars for the 15th.

I honestly don't see myself getting any more interviews from schools I'd attend over the current ones. My tier 1 of schools was CCOM, PCOM, Western, AZCOM and MDs so I've pretty much got that one done with lol

ahhh me too! I can't decide what I want to do. I have an interview at OSU coming up and I really really want to get in there. But there is a huge part of me that is holding out for one of those Texas schools! Ugh!

Same here! I keep thinking I just want to pay now and know for sure I have a spot. lol. But I mean...as long as we pay by the Dec. 15th deadline...we're guaranteed a spot right??

 

[traitorman]

i have my interview next week and I'm trying to decide if I should just save the money. it seems like people who interviewed at lecom-bradenton really liked AZCOM. but if I'm ultimately thinking about staying in the east coast after medical school, do you guys think I should bother? it seems like the rotation sites are better organized at azcom too

 

[ND10]

Do any current students know how out of state rotations are? I know they're stopping rotations in Ohio and starting some in IL. In other words, is it better to stay in the sites in AZ because they're more established and taken on more azcom students before or are the out of state sites equally good?

Admin answer: They're all equal.

In all reality, I haven't heard any major complaints against any of the current sites, but I also haven't been actively looking because I was aiming to stay in Arizona no matter what. The general consensus to my class from the liaisons at the different oos sites has been good. For instance, the Modesto liaison has said that all of the preceptors are very eager to teach and that since it's a smaller area with fewer residencies our students are getting a lot of hands-on experience that typically goes to people higher in the traditional hierarchy at a major teaching hospital.

 

[nfsonpowday]

I know this might be a bit early but I was wondering if anyone knows or can give any inforamtion regarding how to find housing for anytime next summer. Is there a place where third and fourth years who are leaving advertise their rooms for rent or is one apartment complex better than the other in terms of ammenities and rent? Does anyone know how the apartment complex on campus works -do I need to put my name in early and is it worth it?? I am ridiculous about planning ahead hee hee 😀

You can always check out the discussions that took place on the 2014 Facebook page on the discussion board to get some early input that my class received. Also, once things start to get in full-swing with the 2015 page, that will become very useful and slightly more relevant. Also, the school did mail out a packet containing housing information that they've assembled from students or have had submitted to them, problem being they mailed it out <1 month before orientation (fail on their part). I would suggest contacting (I'm guessing the department on this) Student Services and see if they can provide you with a list which they may or may not be able to do presently. A lot of people also just came to town and did apartment shopping one week or weekend (not sure if that's an option or not).

As far as on-campus housing goes, I'm in it and don't mind it. There aren't too many issues that have come up since I've been here. I think the biggest problems/annoyances, for myself or people I know, has been: crickets (they were pretty bad in certain apartments August-September), closing down access to the apartment complex without prior notification for the ADA Diabetes walk (slightly problematic if you come back with a bunch of groceries and are in one of the apartments out in BFE in relation to the entryway), whiny kids (there are families here, and some of them do in fact have kids whining anytime you see them but for the most part it's not very problematic), no pets aside from fish in a 15 gallon aquarium (pro or con, depending on how you look at it), the mailboxes are set up like the postal service set them up (some apartment buildings have banks of mailboxes right next to them on either side, yet the mailboxes for said buildings are also in BFE in relation to the apartment building), and it is a slight pain to get packages from UPS or FedEx on-campus because they make all of those deliveries to the mail-room on-campus and not the apartments, which means that you have to either find out about a package arriving because you go and check there or because the apartment manager notifies you (which may or may not happen because he gets a bit busy and forgets, so best to go with the former means) and while you normally could get something delivered to you by those services on a Saturday elsewhere, it's not happening here. Also, there are definitely much nicer apartments to be had in the area, but these apartments aren't rundown, the newer ones are fairly-nice, and these apartments are significantly cheaper rent than those off-campus.

As you can tell, for the most part the cons are just nitpicks. Anytime I've had any maintenance issues they've been dealt with either the same day or by the next day, depending on when the apartment manager was notified. I personally plan on staying in student housing at least through next year (maybe all four) just because you really cannot beat the convenience and from what I've gathered, the only way to get everything bundled in with the on-campus housing (housing, internet, cable, local phone, 24/7 security, etc) for ~the same cost is only going to happen if you have roommates. I think the only thing I'll likely be attempting to change between now and next year is to get into an apartment with a washer and dryer in the unit as opposed to having to use communal stuff.

 

[RoundTwo]

Has anyone received confirmation regarding their rotation spot? I sent my email as soon as I received my packet (a few weeks ago), but haven't received any confirmation. I called Midwestern last week to check and left a message but have not received a call back. Anyone else in the same boat?

Thank you for the awesome write up!! 😀 I do have a friend who lives in the area and so I will likely stay with her for a week and do some looking around for a place. Also, I joined the 2015 FB site and I am sure housing opportunites will appear on it eventually like they did on 2014's FB site. I will say that I am sick of having to try and find quarters for the communal washer and dryer as well -first of all gas stations hate giving out their 'precious' quarters and the machines are broken half the time -I hope to find a place with a washer and dryer. Thanks and I look forward to Arizona!
