I'm sure they'd be working on it for the two years you'd be there prior to starting rotations as well.I have similar concerns. But this is the sort of info we'd get from the interview day.

Me too!Primary submitted!
@MedArtist Just curious but if you had to choose between an acceptance at WSU and AZCOM which would you lean towards?
I'm pretty sure this is a no-brainer because WSU tuition is half that of AZCOM and it offers an MD, but just trying to feel out a general opinion about the school. Also because WSU doesn't give out a decision before the DO deposit deadline so I'll probably pay and hold my spot at AZCOM until I hear back here.
Where did you find the WSU tuition? I seem to be having trouble navigating their website because I couldn't find it@MedArtist Just curious but if you had to choose between an acceptance at WSU and AZCOM which would you lean towards?

LOL wow I'm even worse at finding things on there than I thought - thanks!Q: How much is tuition?
A: $35,000 for legal residents of Washington.
In FAQ of their Admissions section
....so this is only for WA residents?
Got my primary in as well. @MedArtist out of curiosity, did you interview at Touro-CA?
Ahhh. Never mind then, someone I interviewed there has the same acceptances as you!
I really do wonder how many applicant they will get - and how everything will play out owing the the fact I bet everyone that applies also applied to UW, and they will have to compete with UW for acceptances, which given the choice we know where 98% of people would go. I bet they will have a hard time finalizing their class until UW gets its class a bit more solidified and people notify of their acceptances.

My bad, I was busy at work, but I just posted it below.@Trident14 Do you mind posting the prompts and character limits? Thanks!
I'm assuming you submit your primary on October 29th when they first opened?My bad, I was busy at work, but I just posted it below.

Not worth applying from east coast? Seems like they really want Washington natives
Looking at the curriculum, it seems like a huge amount of clinical time, even in the first two years. Pretty interesting ..
Additionally, it seems that you do one week at your site a few times a year. That'll be interesting if you're placed in like Everett and have to drive across the pass just for a week.

I have yet to receive the secondary D: but I waited a few days to submit primary.
"This one time I applied for UW but didn't get in so I applied for Wazzu instead"Is anyone willing to share a time they failed or was unsuccessful? I've been denied from job positions before but not sure if I should go about it this way.
Hahahahaha seriously"This one time I applied for UW but didn't get in so I applied for Wazzu instead"
*ducks head*
Hold up everyone - are there only gonna be 15 students at each campus then?? 60 students in the first year class.....4 campuses....I mean don't get me wrong there a benefits to a smaller class size but 15 people seems to be pushin it
This makes way more sense than my theorySounds like the 4 campuses are where you do your clinical rotations.. so years 3&4 you'll be there but years 1&2 you'll be at WSU in Spokane. At least this is the impression I get.. anyone know if this is right?
I think I read that we start clinical training week 3 on their website, at least the impression I got from the link below!Sounds like the 4 campuses are where you do your clinical rotations.. so years 3&4 you'll be there but years 1&2 you'll be at WSU in Spokane.

MeDid anyone submit their primary AMCAS on the 29th and not get a secondary yet? I'm confused because I meet all of the academic criteria, am IS, and have lived in WA all of my life, I thought they sent secondaries to everyone who met these basic requirements. I'm also from rural eastern WA.
I'm curious how they are sorting through these applications because I was assured that anyone meeting their basic criteria will receive a secondary application, and they lay out their basic criteria pretty clearly on the website. So I am sure we will get one, but it seems odd that they wouldn't be going in order of when applications were submitted.

So it appears super clinical focused mixed with traditional courses?https://medicine.wsu.edu/md-program/curriculum/community-based-medical-education/

These are the three pages they seem to have about curriculum so far!

Even the traditional courses seem a bit downplayed to me. Curious how this will affect pre-clinical preparation in the first 2 years
What do you mean by downplayed?
Agreed. Try hard and get a good residency. Nobody will careHonestly guys im sure WSU will give you a fine education. If it was accredited then it earned the opportunity to train MDs.
