Submitted in mid August... haven't heard a thing yet.
Oops, sorry, meant to type nova doesnt care about parent info.
Ok cool, that's all I wanted to know. I know some med schools do care. Thanks!
Last week during the interview the counselor mentioned that the admission committee meets in two weeks, so hopefully you will hear some news next week.
Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification. Do you know how late they interview until?
I went 2 weeks ago to check out the area and saw the Signature and the Palm Trace apts. Signature was all full, with no idea when they would have vacancies, brand new, nice pool, huge dog park, but kinda old looking in terms of set up, design etc for the money they are asking for... they also told me they take DNA sample of dogs and check the poop left on the grass against their database... which sounds over the top to me and I can only guess what else is on the contract. Palm Trace is next door, cheaper at a first glance but with a lot of hidden fees, it has several basketball courts, tennis courts, 3 gyms, 3 pools, outdoor grilling areas etc. It also has several swamp-kind of lakes in between buildings and most of the balconies have screens all around. Location-wise is great but I found out that there is a pretty big mosquito problem several months out of the year, due to the swamps (hence the screens) and feral cats and raccoon rummaging through garbage cans all over the place which for me was a deal-breaker but for someone else could be OK.
can you still log into the scheduling portal? It looks like there are still a lot of seats to fill.
Where can you see the days when adcom meets?
Go to shark link and then click HPD library. Then click where it says osteopathic medicine.
I live in Miami and when I went to the check out the places I also talked to people that I saw walking around about their impressions. Yelp and Google reviews also help. Granted, there are crazy people out there with out-of-this-world demands writing these reviews, but you take it with a grain of salt. For ex, I read that Palm Trace charges you not only for your water use but also for the water used to clean facilities. They have 3 pools so naturally this would piss me off. There are several apt buildings in Plantation that are less than 2.5 miles away, it all depends on your budget and roommate arrangements. In your case, I would try to pair up with someone who is closer to Davie and make the search easier. Several people from M2 and above have announced on FB that they have a place and are looking for a roommate. I ultimately settled for a house nearby campus and the rent is same or less than Palm Trace/Signature.
The closest apartments(minus sunforest which I don't know much about) all sound like they have random fees to make money. Water useage like you said, but also trash pickup "valets" that cost 25 a month and who apparently leave your garbage there to get attacked by animals/bugs, also palm trace is adjacent to a water treatment plant, so don't rent in one of the buildings closest to that. These places sound like typical apartments you find in college towns, money is priority number one and tenant satisfaction is way down below. You can get a 2BR for the same price as a 1BR a few miles out, and because these are farther from campus, the clientele is not 100% college students so the owners are more liable to make sure the apartments stay nice and their tenants happy.
My friend told me about that email. I didn't get it though. Hmmm...
Yes, that happened to me too. I had to go on to the sharklink site and request my info. There's nothing on there for us yet, so you haven't missed out. I got the residency email a few weeks ago too, nothing else. I think we probably won't get much else until March/April based on what M1s have said.
I know, I have been checking my email every 5 minutes today...
They told us that they will try to have an Adcom meeting this month, but its unlikely that they will get it done. We were told 6 weeks.
