My FAFSA just got successfully processed, sent it in on Friday. Sorry, from the March 9th one in NOLA
First off, congrats on your acceptance! would you mind sharing your gpa and mcat score? also, how does uq oschner calculate gpa, do they do grade forgiveness?
I actually just bought my "nib OSHC" one right now, cheapest, covers a pretty good amount, 100% of hospital and such, 85% of specialties, and easiest to get a hold of. Actually called them, and they were like the nicest people ever! Totally worth
I just got Allianz, it worked out fine. I think it's the one the school suggests?
I'd also recommend by card, quicker to them really.
Hello everyone- congrats to those already accepted, good luck to those applying, and thanks to the more experienced giving advice!
Longtime lurker of the UQ-Ochsner threads here but first time posting and looking for some input:
Currently in a gap year, working full-time, around a ~3.3 GPA, and studying for the MCAT. I was planning on taking it in September to apply in December, but working has slowed me down quite a bit and am considering taking it in January (once those dates are announced) to maximize my score. Would applying after getting my scores back in late February (Jan. MCAT) be too late or risky compared to applying first thing in December (Sep. MCAT)? I know the interview dates fill up quickly and would like an acceptance as early as possible for many logistical reasons with work, housing, SO leaving for grad school, etc. I feel capable of getting a decent score by September but obviously a higher score is always better...
Thanks in advance!!
Well I just got accepted to the program, so can't talk about the professors, but in terms of classes, we're still part of The University of Queensland Mayne Medical School, so we're getting our MD degree from there, meaning we're still students of UQ. So we'll be taking classes with the general UQ Medschool, with everyone. We sign up for our groups with everyone in our class, all ~500 students, not just Ochsner's 120.
Never mind was just accepted wow that was fast - this is so exciting....I have taken such a strange path to get here but I am grateful for all my experiences and to be quite honest - my 'failures'.....I look forward to meeting you all, good luck to everyone else and see you in Brisbane!
I asked OMSA about it, and they said they were waiting to get the "first round of acceptances from MedEdPath," which to me doesn't sound like a CoE, but who knows! We may have to suffer for another 4-6 weeks.
I did both. Scanned and emailed as well as sent via certified mail.
Same, got an e-mail from MEP stating I should get my CoE within 4-6 weeks, that was like 2.5 weeks ago, congrats btw!! We really gotta get the group running, really gotta find some roommates, pretty cool living spaces in Brisbane (eye on a huge villa with a pool, cheap too lol)
We should lowkey make like a group somewhere else till they make one lol, like whats app or group me
Lmaooo pretty sure you were like this during your acceptance period too, don't hate on our good vibes rn, damn. We're not like snapping at OMSA or anything about the group being made, just hella excited about the whole thing. Maybe we should actually make the group and start meeting and greeting from right now, seeing this is getting on your nerves?
Nope, we graduate UQ med school Nov. of 2022, so we're that then. Residency has nothing to do with what class you're in, pass your med school classes and you're guaranteed graduation from med school lol Not everyone will make a residency their first year
That makes sense!
