I interviewed 11/15.

No email for me...bummer.

Not surprised I guess, my UNE interview was not a great experience! The person I had grilled me good...didn't smile once and asked questions that I thought were pretty ridiculous.

Congratulations though! Seemed like a pretty nice place to go to school.

Lednerg and others, The email I received is not standard practice. UNE notifies its acceptees via certified mail. We should all be receiving letters next week. The only reason I found out early, via email, is that I've been corresponding with the Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions over the last year, keeping her updated on the improvements to my application. She knew I really wanted to come to UNE, so I suppose she figured she'd just tell me now--since the letters were going out anyway. Don't give up hope, I'm sure you'll all get in!
 
My letter of acceptance was not via certified mail is was just regular mail.
 
My acceptance letter two years ago was regular mail too. In a little thin envelope that just REEKED of "rejection".

Note to those waiting to hear: open ALL MAIL from UNE. That thin envelope may carry the best news you've ever heard.

My acceptance letter came in a regular envelope and was only one sheet. I opened it expecting bad news.
 
Hi, current UNECOM students and recently accepted students,

I am a Sophomore right now and I have been looking at UNECOM for a few months now as my number one choice school, both DO and MD. For various reasons, I want to be able to apply to UNECOM as soon as possible. I read on the UNECOM website that a student does not need a BA/BS degree in order to matriculate. I was wondering how often do students apply in their sophomore year, interview and get accepted junior year and then start school in their senior year. What I'm trying to say is that what are the chances of a student being accepted to UNECOM without a BS/BA degree? Thanks.

The requirements are listed here...

------------------------------------
Following are the scholastic requirements for admission.

Ninety (90) semester hours or 75 percent credit toward a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 in both elective and required subjects.

Satisfactory completion of the following courses, including laboratory:

Eight semester hours (credits) of biology

Four semesters (generally 16 credits) of chemistry

Biochemistry is required for matriculation, but candidates are encouraged to submit an application if currently enrolled or to be enrolled in biochemistry prior to matriculation.

Eight semester hours (credits) of physics

One year (generally 6 credits) of English composition and literature

Satisfactory completion of the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), taken within two years of application. The minimum MCAT score is 18 with M on the writing sample.

---------------------------------------

As for applying you sophmore year and starting the senior year, I don't have the answer. I don't know of anyone who has done this. I would suggest completing your degree before starting med school (ie doing the traditional route of obtaining your degree before medical school), but I have no science for that opinion. I would defer to other posters in the know.

I know of no one at UNECOM right now that does not have a degree prior to matriculation. However, I certainly don't know everyone. My take on this (and some of this from knowing folks who have been admitted under similar rules to other med schools): If you want to apply after fulfilling the pre-reqs but do NOT want to complete your degree, you better be at the top of the heap as an applicant.

I'd suggest calling the admissions office and discussing the particulars with them. Your situation is certainly not the norm and if I were you I'd hesitate to take advice from folks who have never been, nor know anyone who has ever been in your shoes.

Good luck!
 
My interview day was great. We started with a video tour of the school with Med students and then we sat and talked with MSI students and that was our chance to get to know the students and school. I got there at 11A and my interview was at 1pm. We toured the school in 2 groups. I was completely done by 3pm. Great students and nice campus. I can't wait to start....

Hey Dan,
We actually have a current first year, his name is Dan too, who does not yet have a degree. We took some time off before heading off to college so he is 24 I think, but he only finished 3 years of college prior to matriculating here at UNECOM. He is also Navy so that might have something to do with it. From my understanding, he receives his undergrad diploma upon successful completion of first year. I would check with Admissions or RSAS about the specifics of applying early though. Hope this helps.

Hello all

Does anyone have any experience with the linkage process to UNECOM. I am currently in a post bac pre med program which I applied via the linkage agreement with UNE. I know that UVM and Tufts have post bac programs which have the linkage; are their any others? And does anyone have an idea of the success rates?

So far the process has been smooth for me through AACOMAS and I recieved the Secondary. My file was complete today!!!

I was curious if any of the interview/waitlist etc times vary? Also I was wondering what sort of stats successful linkage students had. And lastly if anyone can share what they thought of the competitiveness of linkage applicants or what they thought of the process. (any current or past students who know)

A little about me:

I am a Maine resident, I have my DPT, i have an abstract published, platform presentation at a multidiscipline annual meeting.

UG 3.1
Grad 3.9
Post bac 3.5
Science 2.8 bad i know but reasons not excuses

MCAT this spring... need a 24 according to the linkage agreement.

Waiting to hear when my interview date will be

Any info would be great!

Thanks
 
I'm hearing Biddeford, Saco, South Portland, and Portland for places a lot of people live. Are there other areas around where I should look if I want to get a general idea of housing. Has anyone bought property. I guess it might only be where you live for the first two years, but this does seem like a good time prices wise.

I lived in Arundel while I was in medical school. Depends on whether you have kids, want to live in the country, etc. You may want to check all the surrounding communities to see what they have to offer.

UNECOM is a high pass (>90), pass (70-90) and fail (<70) grading system.

As for ranking, officially there is no ranking, and no one will ever admit to students being ranked. Lots of rumor around that one, but the official word is "we don't rank students". Unofficially who knows... I'm not privy to those secret files. :laugh:
Click to expand...

Don't they make a little graph on your dean's letter and say where you are compared to the rest of the students. Then they put in all the wonderful things you were participating in.. to make you glow. I bet your there is a ranking of students.

BTW, shy your picture is hot! You look just like that in real life.. it took me a while to get over that simpson skin.. but at the end.. I accept it.

Also Shy, it would be stupid not to finish your undergrad degree.. cause it is almost in the bag.. I think one year extra is nothing in the long run.
 
So I'm sitting here in the coastal Pacific Northwest, where we had one of our cute little flurry "snowstorms" yesterday, which will shut us down for a week. Maybe an inch of snow fell. Nobody knows how to drive in this, so they'll be shutting down the schools and people will stay home from work. And now it's raining so it'll be the teensiest bit icy and that's basically the apocalypse. Microsoft and Boeing and Nordstrom and Safeco may file Chapter 11 this week.

I've only lived where snow is an anomaly. And now I'm in love with UNECOM. What's a girl to do?

Things I don't understand:
1. I hear tell there are things called "snowplows." Is it assumed that these "snowplows" make the roads sufficiently drivable that cars and buses simply function as usual after or during a blizzard?
2. Do you put snow tires or chains on your car, and just leave them on until spring? Or are there snow-driving skills that work with all-season tires?
3. Do you die from exposure if you have to stand and wait for a bus outside, for more than a few minutes?
4. How cold is too cold to run with a dog outside, and how often is it this cold?
5. What things do newly-relocated Californians (for instance) do that make New Englanders laugh at them?

All insights appreciated.

The only thing i can say is that if you are going to run outside you need to be careful so that you don't get hypothermic (when you run your blood will be diverted from the core of your body to your periphery system which will cause your core body temperature to drop and since it is so cold outside it may drop dangerously low). Also, invest in a good pair of gloves and a very very warm jacket. Oh, and get thermals and heat-trapping socks...also important 👍


things that make east coasters laugh at us cali dudes.....wearing our winter coats in september..that pretty much does it. Also, bringing out the ugs in sept. as well.


Best advice: just mentally prepare yourself to get so cold that you really never feel warm until spring rolls around. Basically....prepare to freeze for 6 months.

lol this is great- I am from Jersey not NE but I will give it a shot.

1. A snowplow is simply a truck with a big "shovel" in the front that pushes the snow off the road. Usually these trucks will also dump salt on the road in order to help prevent the snow from turning to ice.

2. Na don't put snow tires on. Just get a 4 wheel drive car.

3. No lol not unless it is REALLY cold out (-20s) and your out there in a t-shirt. NE is not that cold.

4. I would say you can run with your dog as long as it doesnt dip under ~35. But you have to dress warm!

5. I can't help you there. I am sure Cali people are pretty normal.
 
I'm not sure I can help too much. I have always lived with snow and have just gotten used to it. For me it's just a part of life.

I've never heard of anyone dying from exposure while waiting for the bus. Just have a hat, some gloves, maybe a scarf if it's really cold. And somewhere online (maybe the weather channel) I saw some suggestions for working out when it's cold.

I wouldn't worry too much about getting laughed at. When I've gone to Florida with Habitat for Humanity these past few springs everyone wore t-shirts and shorts. We thought the 70 degree weather was beautiful, but everyone that lived down there thought it was cold and had jeans on. Guess it just depends what you're used to.
 
Though I'm from NY, in response to #5:

Thermostat set to 75+, and you guys are still wearing sweaters. Also, I always find it funny when CA and a few others (Florida ones to mind) are freakin out about 30 and 40 (and the low teens at night) in late November/early December when its not even cold yet (Jan. and Feb. will kill ya when the temp is around 10-20 during the day + windchill, and almost regularly near or below zero at night.

#1. As far as the salt that snowplows leave on the road, as you will see, it'll built up on your car real bad, and when possible, get it washed off, because it'll do more for corrosion and rust than anything else touching your car.
 
1. snowplow good. make sure your driveway is on a school bus route to ensure it is regularly maintained, unless you own a snowplow (not a bad investment)
2. i'm not sure about Maine, but here in interior Alaska we put our studs on in october and leave them on all winter--makes for much safer driving. also 4WD is good for californians🙂
3.again, not sure about maine, but i've been in michigan at 20 below and alaska at 20 below, and michigan seemed colder--i think it has to do with h2o vapor. whatever the case, you'll be fine if you take a minute to read up on layering, invest in some good socks, hats, gloves, coats, boots,etc... and always dress appropriately for the weather (or at least pack some snow pants and boots in your car so your prepared if the heater breaks)
4. unless you have a mexican hairless, by all means take out the dog in most any weather. i would say all the way down to 40 below (does it get that cold in maine?) if shorthair you could get it a sweater, and put on booties if the temp is less than 5-10 below. watch the dogs ears and nose for frostbite or nip. and be sure to provide plenty of room temp water, high cal foods for the active dog, and fats (egg, fish, supplements if you must) to avoid dry skin
also, don't run too vigorously (you or the dog) at temps less than 15-20 below--you could hurt your lungs. for the same reason, don't gasp when you breath-slow steady breaths win. otherwise, get plenty of exercise--helps with the cabin fever.
i would worry less about becoming hypothermic while running, and more about frostbite. wear a hat, gloves, good socks and insulated, waterproof sneakers, a SCARF/NECKWRAP and try to avoid sweating profusely--if you needed to stop outside and you're sweaty, thats when you worry about hypothermia.
take away lesson--dress appropriately and youll be fine.
5. everything californians do is fair game
smalltownEMT is right about acclimatization: just give it a few months and you'll be wearing t-shirts at 15 above like the rest of us.

hope that helps a little. don't let the cold weather scare you away from one of the better osteopathic schools. i say go for it!

People die of exposure all the time! i'm an EMT and i see it too much...so dress warm if your going to drink whiskey and sleep on a parkbench!😀
 
I moved from Florida to Vermont for college. Like you, I was completely confused about what it meant it to live in a snowy climate. Everyone's pretty much answered all your other questions, but let me just comment on what you can do to make real New Englanders laugh at you.

I moved over Christmas vacation as I was set to start school in January. My first day leaving my apartment (after my parents left), I dressed in a red skirt, a red sweater, a long wool coat, pantyhose, and a pair of three-inch heels. Why? Because I was out of my mind. Oh, and I also had the most adorable red beret.

Thank God I never made it past my parking lot or else I would have been the laugh of the town. I took one step onto my icy driveway, fell face-first into a snow bank (bye, bye beret), and had to literally crawl on my hands and knees back upstairs to my apartment.

Get yourself a pair of snow boots. Get any old warm coat for your days at school and a long, professional wool coat for important events/occassions. Whether you're a guy or a girl, invest in a decent hat to keep your head and ears warm and make sure to wear a scarf under your coat for your neck. Buy some long underwear. You'll be thankful on the especially cold days in January and February. In no time, you'll make it through the snow and be dreading mud season just like all the natives.
 
I am from Maine and if you want to fit in all i have to say is LL BEAN! You will find all of your answers at www.llbean.com. Then you will officially fit in.

All you need is regular 4 season tires they plow the roads when the storm happens its no biggy.

I will go running outside if the temp is over 20 (watch out for the ice though)

PS anyone else excited for the 10-14inches of snow were supposed to get tonight into tomorrow??😀

Get those snowshoes and skies ready!👍

Maybe if your lucky you will develop some brown fat full of mitochondria to keep you warm---(highly unlikely) 👎
 
Not from New England but lived in Minnesota for 8 years. I think that Maine may have gotten more snow than us, but we for sure were always colder.

One thing to remember, you will be on an ocean, that will not freeze, so the wind chill may be more of a problem than the actual cold.

At the University of Minnesota, we had to walk to class even when it was -60 F. Twas rather cold, but with proper bundling, you'll be fine!


Oh...and I have never seen anyone with chains on their tires in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I know in the Twin Cities we weren't allowed to use them on most roads, so I would check local ordinances before getting chains.
 
Chains and studs in the tires are not legal on the state roads in maine. Some of the backwoods folk use the studs
 
I'm going to merge this in with UNECOM discussion.

Dr. Midlife, I lived in Colorado for 20 years before coming to Maine. I have a regular sedan vehicle, no chains, no studs, never got stuck.

However, I would definitely find a nice empty parking lot the first time it snows like crazy if you come to Maine. Take a few hours stomping on the gas, stomping on the brake, learning to turn (you'll do a few donuts before you get the hang of this one), and you'll be just fine. The snowplows here do an absolutely phenomenol job of keeping the streets clear, but you might have a hard time finding a sidewalk after the plows come through.

It's also the best snow EVER for snowballs and snowmen. Colorado snow was waaaaaaaay too fluffy. I would invest in some cashmere socks (you can find them at Sam's Club for VERY reasonable price), scarves, earmuffs, good warm gloves, and remember: layers are your friend.

All I can say is...

😱:wow: OMG!
 
How are the board pass rates for UNE compared to other schools on the comlex (and if available USMLE)? Thanks!
 
I wanted to say congratulations to all of you who have been accepted and good luck to all of you who are still awaiting a decision. I have my fingers crossed for you all.

I had an interview on Sept 11th, and got my acceptance letter about 2 weeks later. Very excited to be going to UNECOM, I really did enjoy how polite and friendly the students were.

As an aside...Rob I think I met you during the orientation, hope you are doing well. I was sitting at that table talking to a first year medical student whose name I unfortunately do not recall.

One last thing. What do you guys think of a facebook group for UNECOM 2012?
 
My interview at UNECOM is this saturday (I love that they offered a couple of saturday interview dates!) and I am SO EXCITED. UNECOM has been one of my top choices since the beginning and I have been waiting for this interview forever! I was supposed to interview in October, but they cancelled on me due to some "faculty retreat" and I had to reschedule my flight, etc. Oh well. I'm going this weekend!!!

Anyone else from SDN interviewing this saturday?

I would LOVE to find out the results of my interview by Dec 14th (KCOMs deposit deadline) but I'm not holding my breath.

My husband and I are so excited to visit Maine because we've never been to New England. Are there any touristy-type activites that we shouldn't miss while in Maine in December?

I'm speaking as another hopeful applicant (interview January 8th, any other Jan. 8th-ers out there?), so I'm not speaking from experience. That said, I heard that Maine got 20 inches dumped on them (no reference, just saw it on the news), so if you ski, go hit up one of the great mountains up there. I can't wait to hit the slopes in the winter if I get in. That's if I ever have the time to!
Also, from when I was up there in the fall (about an hour north in Boothbay Harbor), I noticed that there were whale-watching cruise ships docked about every twenty feet. So, that might be something to look into around Portland, although I wonder if they are open into the winter. . .
 
The 20 inches is way overinflated in Biddeford. We got maybe 6 (the ocean keeps us a little warmer than interior portions of Maine). Now Falmouth is expecting another foot or so today and tomorrow I hear (and since my car got 1" on it in less than an hour this morning, I could believe that one). We were supposed to get 12-20" yesterday, but it just didn't materialize. 🙁 I think some of the interior portions of Maine and New Hampshire got dumped on, tho.

Good luck in your interview!

It would be great to know some people before August!

Good Luck to everyone else who has an interview!
 
Hey guys, Who's interviewing on Dec 8th? I have mine on that day and was wondering if there's anything to do in that area.
 
Hey everyone, the UNECOM Class of 2012 facebook group is up. As stated above, it'd be nice to get to know some of you before classes start. If you'd like to be an admin as well just let me know .
 
Hello all,
I am so psyched about entering UNECOM in August....I think about it everyday. What is a face book? Just wondering...I live in Southern NH and we got about 5 inches. The driving was fine...Winter is here!!
See ya all in August...Goodluck to all the upcoming interviews...You will be fine. The students and staff were so welcoming.

Hey RN2DO. If you go to www.facebook.com, you can sign up for an account for free. It's basically a way to tell others about who you are, post your favorite quotes, music, videos, and chat to other people. Once you sign up you can join the UNECOM class of 2012 group so you can get familiar with some of the people before you meet them in august. A word of caution though, facebook is addictive
 
How long does it take to hear back from UNECOM after you completed your secondary application?
 
Hi everyone. I am a long time lurker and have been a very rare poster in the past. I was accepted to UNECOM 11/5 (top choice) and am actually pretty excited for classes to start in August!.. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and participating on subsequent threads!

We were told during our interview that the COMLEX passing rate is "above the national average" and that approximately 50% of the class takes the USMLE.

I hope this helps a little
 
I was complete Nov 29th and today via email I recieved my interview date Jan 10th!!!

Good luck!
