I interviewed 9-11 and will definately be attending next year. Are you guys all going there for sure or are you waiting to hear from other places?
Umm . . . I guess I was the 3rd tallest?? Actually I think we were just a random group of abnormally tall guys.

Have you guys received your acceptance packets in the mail yet?
no not yet. I'm paranoid that Delia's call was just a mistake and i really wasnt accepted lol. I need the acceptance packet, I need assurance.
onmywayRN - ask Nova, they cant take your acceptance back because of you asking
From the website:Yes, I know but it's been hard to get ahold of them. They must be busy with interviews.
Hi. Interviewed on the 18th and was accepted. I will probably choose NOVA inthe end, but am continuing with the other interviews I already had scheduled. Any of you guys received your acceptance packet yet? I was hoping it would be back by the time I came home from AZCOM yesterday.
How did I know aishoo??I just heard from Delia. I'm in!!!!!

Oooooo that'll come in handy in the future!Lol... i dunno...maybe u're a mind reader? lol
Heard from Delia this morning. Highly considering NSU.
keep in mind that the matchlist for NSU is very misleading...because FL is one of the 5 notorious sites that require an extra year... thats why there are a lot of ppl doing TRI (traditional rotating internship) or transitional year.. This hides the fact that some of these ppl have already matched into a competitive program but have to fulfill this requirement..
Does this mean that you have to stay in Florida a year doing a rotation before starting at another competitive program. Does this have to do with going to an approved residency program or you won't be able to practice in those five states.About the TRI.... I hear that if you just submit a request that you cant do the TRI bec of hardship, then most likely your request will be approved... dont know the stats.. but i've been talking to some NSU alumni...including my brother.. n that's the general opinion that i'm getting...

Okay, it is what I thought. Thanks!What i do know..is that if you want to practice out of state. you do NOT have to do the extra TRI year..assuming its not 1 of the 5 states..and even if u do want to settle down in the 5 states..there are fast track programs that pretty much cancel out the extra year..I plan on going back to TX so i dont have to worry about any of that

I know of Penn. If you do a search on SDN, you should find it.which 5 states are those?? (i only know about florida..)

Thanks, I have not gotten an update since September.I just wanted to let you guys know that i just received an email regarding the 5 state internship stuff..and where everything CURRENTLY stands (things can still change by the time you guys apply for residency):
Since the resolution that passed in July at the House of Delegates in Chicago, there have been several modifications to this resolution.
With the help of Dr. DeGaetano, this is how it currently stands:
There are 3 main subtitles to the internship year:
Rotating internship: This is the traditional internship that is not tracked with any specialty. This choice will continue to exist as always
Internship that is tracked with multiple disciplines:
Just to name a few…….
IM
General Surgery
Pediatrics
Family Practice
Internal medicine
Students track into one of these 5 disciplines will be tracked into their specialty and it will count as their internship year.
Unique specialties – here is where the problems occur. Specialties such as radiology, anesthesiology, ortho etc. all require a first year of training prior to starting the PGY2 year in these disciplines.
The problem is:
There are few osteopathic programs in these specialties that have linked internships incorporated with them. All of these programs must now provide a first year experience along with the remainder of the residency. Will these programs be able to develop their own first year experiences or identify partner programs that have a first year available to affiliate with?
Regardless of all of the above…FL, PA, WV, MI, and OK will all still require that osteopathic physicians meet the requirement of having completed an approved AOA internship to earn a license in these states.
SO in summary: if u do any of the 5 programs, IM, FP, Gen surg, peds (i think maybe EM due to typo in above email since IM is listed twice) there will be NO extra year.. i hope this clears up any confusion
What percentage of students do you think find the academical societies helpful? I suppose it helps with cohesiveness and cooperation if you know a smaller group of students.For us: the orientation was really more like 3.5 days....really boring stuff..1 day is for cpr/first aid..so its really only 2.5 days of randomness...We are the first class to utilize academical societies which divides the class into 10 groups..and each society has M2,M3 and an advisor to help transition first years to med school...For me, the academical societies werent that helpful i wouldve gotten along fine without it..
As for the dress code: business cas...or scrubs...or in 50% of my class scrub pants + tshirt...closed toe shoes for anatomy lab...any other time u can wear sandals or anything..but it does get really cold in the lecture room..
