As much as I like RVU as one of my top choices, this ain't got no citation!
Edit: found it, it's an email from the Dean in earlier posts, but it says 99%. Where'd you get these from, just wondering?
Yes! I hope we find out tomorrow evening instead of Friday!
Brownco, the interview was very conversational and nearly every question came striate from my file. You will most likely really like your experience at RVU. The students seem very happy and the faculty and staff are very very nice, not to mention their state of the art facilities. The first thing they told us was to relax because being selected to interview at RVU meant they already really like you and the purpose of the interview was for us to make sure we fit the environment at RVU and for them to make sure we arent weird. She said they accept over 90% of the people they interview. So just relax and show them who you really are and that you know why you want to be a D.O. and you will be fine. I didnt quite know what to expect after reading all the garbage about RVU on SDN, but I left very impressed and RVU is now in my top three.
Anyone else going nuts waiting for a decision to be made by the admissions committee on Thursday?!!!
The Higher Learning Commission visited RVU just recently (9/12-9/14) What was the outcome? Has anyone heard anything?
Thanks!
No I have not recived any phone calls yet all though we were told they would call us today as well. Congratulations every one!!! And good luck to those of you still waiting!Did you all get phone calls?
Thank you very much for your reply. Would you be willing to elaborate any more on how it was straight from your file? How would you suggest I prepare for my interview?
Shoot I deleted the email from the dean that he sent following the visit, so I can't give you specifics. Generally, they were very impressed and had great things to say about RVU.
Thanks for responding. Let us know more if and when you find out.
Thanks!
Was there anything specific you were looking to hear?
Just wanted to know how the visit went in terms of the school's potential for gaining full accreditation. When do you think you guys will find out?
So here is the deal with the HLC visit. I asked them straight forward questions about all of this and this is the response from the Lady that headed up the Visit.
The HLC visit was for Candidacy to become fully accredited. We should find out if we are selected as a Candidate sometime next year, February or March of 2012. If we are selected we become a Candidate for full Regional accreditation and then after Candidacy has been established the road to full accreditation is about another 4 years where the HLC comes back at 2 years post Candidacy and then 2 years again to establish full regional accreditation. The committee felt that the visit was going well and the administration did so also. We feel very confident that we will become a Candidate this next Feb/March.
The Lady admitted that she had no idea if Candidacy status would help the school out for Title 4 loans or other Government Aid.
But also lets not forget about COCA accreditation. That should come through shortly after the first class graduates and that is this next year 2012.
Hope this helps.
Anyone interviewing 10/11? I'll be one of the ambassadors for that group

Hey Bones,
I wanted to know if one can shadow a DO or volunteer at the school clinic?
Thnx!
I'll be there, sooo looking forward to it . Flying in from OOS for two nights. Wondering what are the places in/around Parker that I should check out. Where do students like to live and hang out?
Thanks
I'm not Bones, but I have shadowed two different DO's at the clinic there. The clinic itself wasn't very busy, so one of the DO's had me shadow him at a local hospital that he works as a hospitalist at. Just contact their office and they'll set you up.
This is what I used to find an apartment:

I live in parker hilltop, which is considered by some to be a "far" commute of 15 minutes. There are several closer options, but I just liked the layout of the apartments here better than the other 8 places I looked at. The mall that is closest to school is Park Meadows, it's very nice:

There is not much time for hanging out during the school year, but we do occasionally gather at a club or bar in Denver (location generally varries). Usually we ride the light rail in, but again this is rare. Some people choose to go skiing once in a while, but based on the injuries I've seen novice skiers in my class sustain, I have opted to avoid it thus far.
Where are you flying in from?

Bones DO said:All the docs at the clinic are open to shadowers. The clinic was actually pretty busy when I shadowed there, but it depends on when you hit them.

My letter writers has sent their letters last week and I checked the online portal to check the status on letter. But, there was none as of today. Will the letters that are received appear on the online portal site in which we submitted the supplemental application?
RVU was closed yesterday for Columbus Day. I believe they will show up online, but you can always call and ask.
Same questions as WaterDragon: file was complete as of 8/30. Generally speaking, how long until we hear anything? Any info would be awesome.
