Thanks a lot!
I took this to mean breaks in your education. I did not mention the W I received.
Inova Campus Dean's Office staff member here. We'd be happy to put you in touch with one of our student tour guides to answer any questions you might have. Please message me with your contact info. Thank you!
The VCU School of Medicine Inova Campus is a full regional campus of the VCU School of Medicine since 2004. We have two classes each year, M3s and M4s, in addition to hosting visiting VCU students from Richmond on various rotations. We maintain a full Dean's Office staff and administration and have over 500 clinical teaching faculty with VCU appointments. For more information, please feel free to message me. Thank you!
The Inova Campus is an election for your preferred campus for 3rd and 4th years. As with Richmond Campus students, you may certainly choose to do "away" rotations as long as you complete your graduation requirements. Inova Campus students do their first two years in Richmond then move to northern Virginia to complete their last two years. Please feel free to message me if you have any further questions about this; I would be happy to put you in touch with one of our students.
There are many advantages to both of our campuses! When interviewing, students who may be interested in attending the Inova Campus are encouraged to schedule and Inova Campus tour to compare and contrast the two experiences. Regional medical campuses are found at many of the medical schools all over the country--be sure to do your research when you hit the interview trail! One thing students really enjoy about our campus is that class size is significantly smaller--approximately 30 students as opposed to about 200 who remain in Richmond. The two health systems are also significantly different based on their geographical locations. Fairfax County is an extremely multi-cultural region and you will get exposure to a wide range of patients from all over the world. Please feel free to message me if you would like to be contacted by one of our current students.
Thank you for sharing that! Our official website for the VCU School of Medicine Inova Campus is: http://www.medschool.vcu.edu/inova/
The option to review and print or save as pdf was there on the left hand side. Don't know if it's there after you submit though
You get an email that says your application status has changed and to go to the portal to see what it is
How long did it take to get a response? I emailed her Friday and haven't heard back, but the rest of my app is ready to submit and I'm a nervous wreck if I take more than 2 days to return a secondary haha
Was wondering this as well...
got my secondary today. IS 503 MCAT and 3.98 cGPA/ sGPA so the screen for MCAT must be lower for IS
Submitted AMCAS recently because I was waiting on my MCAT retake- going to prewrite my secondary! Good luck everyone!
I read it as if you get put on hold you're supposed to let them know, otherwise you don't need to do anything.Are we supposed to be contacting VCU to tell them we're not retaking the MCAT? That seems backwards to me, but reading the application status it seems like they're going to assume I'm retaking the test even though I have a 517.
Wow, congrats! SDN makes it seems like people who take the MCAT 3X have no chance at MD, so this is good to hear
What have people done if you haven't yet taken a pre-req and thus can't select it from the drop down list?
I am enrolled in a full year English course for this upcoming school year, but I can't select it
I read on this thread that it make take 2 days or so to get that confirmation email and for it to change on the site. I submitted today and was wondering the same thing and was able to come to that conclusion.
Yes, took 4 or 5 days
