I am excited, plus I don't think it will hurt graduates because for one it is affiliated with Hackensack Meredian Health, the dean seems to be a well connected person, and it is affiliated with an established University..
So overall as a pre-med student what I am looking for in a med school is
#1 What will my options be for clinical rotations at x med school
#2 Connection to other places
I find both important because almost 36000 med students competed for almost 32000 spots...
(Prestige doesn't matter to me, a doctor will find a job anywhere, and your patients don't care if you didn't go to some big name.. Plus go look at some of the big name hospital faculty profiles, the faculty comes from all over, even internationally.)

That above by the way is one of the reason the Caribbean is a terrible choice.
See, the thing is the first two years *might* be the same, medicine is medicine.. The quality of clinicals will be subpar though compared to schools here.. Also FMG is insanely hard to match now...

So yeah
10/10 would apply, and I think this school will be awesome.

Study harder and retake the MCAT. try getting a 510 or so. Pretty sure since it's new that doesn't mean that it'll be easy to get into.

The only school ever to enroll the same year as accreditation was Northstate. Smart money says Seton Hall will start a normal application cycle in June/July of this year, and seat the inaugural class in 2019.

CalMed also just received prelim accreditation and announced on their website yesterday that they'll welcome their first class this August. Money, money, money I guess.

Well, CalMed has also started on a shoestring budget, in 2017 terms. It doesn't surprise me that they need to fill the coffers ASAP.

Any California school is going to get a bazillion applicants

Absolutely! California has the most med school applicants and for many, no place to go.

I wonder if these late-accepting new med schools will have any insight as to whether any of their applicants already have acceptances? IMHO, since time is critical, they would focus on very qualified students who don’t yet have any acceptances, with maybe the exception of some very desirable students. If they each need to matriculate about 50 students, each interviewing about 200 empty-handed qualified applicants should get them enough butts in seats in the fall.

How is the illinois school affording to have all their students go for free?

Other med schools have done the same for their inaugural class. Maybe when you just have 50 MS1 students, the cost is much less or their donors are suppling the funds. The idea behind the free year offer is to appeal to strong students who otherwise wouldn’t apply to a brand new med.

So is there any indication Seton Hall would offer significant scholarships? If they were to, I would at least throw my hat in the ring

Havent heard anything.

Do you have any MD acceptances? If so, why would you apply? If you don’t, why wouldn’t you?


If an admissions person here could comment as to whether and when Seton Hall Med would know if their applicants have other acceptances. And if they will know (assuming that they’d be reviewing apps in April ), do you think that they’d be more likely to send II’s to qualified applicants who aren’t already holding acceptances? I’m thinking that with a shortened app season, and with the heads up, they could be more efficient in issuing IIs.
 
This may have already been said in some way or another but CUSM officially has their app live and open on amcas I believe, but Seton Hall does not as of today.

Are there traffic rules as to how late a med school can offer IIs? And if there are, is it likely these two new meds would be given waivers to issue IIs beyond any date?

There are not.

Seton Hall has nothing on its website about admissions (CUSM does). Seton Hall is apparently not in AMCAS yet (CUSM is). These are not the signs of a school eager to matriculate its first class in 6 months.

This is a pretty big assumption to make lol. Im sure becoming an accredited medical school in the US doesnt happen overnight...

The AAMC traffic rules say that all schools must offer the number of acceptances = to the amount of available seats by March 15th. How are the new schools going to do that? Unless they got a waiver or something.

Would they still have to issue acceptances to at least the amount of students in the class by March 15th as per the traffic rules?
 
gonnif said:
While the committee that promulgates these rules are technically AAMC, the rules apply to schools using AMCAS in a normal cycle. I do not believe that this late in the cycle, Seton Hall can/will be using AMCAS
Click to expand...
CUSM is using it so they would have to follow the 3/15 rule?

That was my guess as well.....appreciate your insight, thanks!
 
I feel like if they were going to open they would have done so already.
