I am from California and I had no idea that UC Riverside was in the process of building a medical school. Crazy.

Im i my junior year at Hofstra, and we just had a Health Professions Night with the Associate Dean of Hofstra SOM, and it sounded pretty... sketchy/weird? It's not like traditional med schools, they will be doing a mixture of classes along with rotations the first 4 years. Residency at North Shore LIJ, the partnering hospital, is not guaranteed. Only 30 students first class, and supposedly, all of the Hofstra HPI students have a "guaranteed seat", being there are 50-60 of us here, some might be heartbroken! From what I heard from professors and advisors and other professionals, most students admitted will be Hofstra students.

Why would it be guaranteed? You have to participate in the match like everybody else.

He/she probably meant "rotation".
