Oh shoot! I’m in. Interviewed 11/11
Congrats! That is a great achievement. Thanks for responding.I received the presidential scholarship from CUSOM this morning. I submitted my deposit and all my documents last night. I was invited to apply for the scholarship about a week and a half ago and submitted the essay a few days after.
Unfortunately, yes...a letter from either a DO or MD is required! You can try to find one and then send It as an update to them thoIs a letter from a physician required for application? I submitted mine several weeks ago without one. Included science faculty phd and other research/prof recs.
Just happen to be looking at my complete email and it states that they are not requiring a physician's letter to apply. However, if you are offered an acceptance you will need to have the letter before an offer of acceptance can be extended.Is a letter from a physician required for application? I submitted mine several weeks ago without one. Included science faculty phd and other research/prof recs.
Someone made this facebook group! Facebook GroupsAre there any groups for accepted students?
$1500Does anyone know what the deposit fee is for this school if you are accepted?
I also interviewed 11/18. I don't think they are going to get back to us until the new year which is a little frustrating if that's the case.Has anyone that interviewed 11/18 heard back yet? They said 4 weeks, but it has been almost 5.
From what I've heard they're closed now and won't reopen until January. I believe it's the 4th when they reopen. I'd think probably sometime that week when we hear backAny thoughts on when December interviews will hear back?
Your sentiment is overall correct.Does anyone know the reputation of "transitional residencies"? I saw that CUSOM has a 100% match rate, but ~10% of graduates in the last 3 yrs have entered transitional residencies. Does that imply that they were unable to match into their specialty of choice and were forced to do a transitional yr? I know a lot of specialties require transitional years, but the percentage of CUSOM grads that go on to transitional residencies just seemed high to me.
So - is this a concern or just the norm across medical schools (or perhaps just DO)?Your sentiment is overall correct.
TRI are meant to be a year rotating through different specialty this could be both for an applicant not matching or an applicant needing a year one position before going into their year 2 position. Some programs such as: anesthesia/ophtho/PMR/Rad/etc require a year 1 position (acquired by the applicant separately) before they match into their specialty as a year 2 position. Programs that only offer year 2 to begin with are called "advanced" positions. I hope that provides clarity.
I was also wondering the same thing! Does anyone have any information about this?What I'm wondering is, is their CastleBranch service used by a lot of schools. Like, if I did commit elsewhere down the road, or simply want to use the info I've uploaded there elsewhere, can I use what I've already done? Or will I have to do all that stuff over again?
The way I perceive it, some of these TRIs would've been a "unmatched" statistic at other school. Unsure about DO specific. At least Campbell is giving these people a spot while in limbo or the first year spot TRI is acquired because they already have a second year position. The statistic is not very clear on that.So - is this a concern or just the norm across medical schools (or perhaps just DO)
Means December might hear back today!! CongratsInterview invite this morning! OOS
Do you mind shedding light on how the interview was?Means December might hear back today!! Congrats
It was very laid back. There will be probably under ten others with you and you'll do quick introductions and then they give a presentation. You get put in break out rooms one on one with the interviewers and mine were very nice. Asked questions based off of my application so it was all very straightforward to answer. To me it seemed like they really wanted to get to know me and understand my drive... I had done a practice interview with Rudi following the prep workshop so I felt pretty prepared.Do you mind shedding light on how the interview was?

I had my interview 12/14. Very friendly faculty and very laid back interview. There were I think nine potential students and we each started with a little introduction. They followed that with a presentation and time for questions and then we had break out rooms one on one with interviewers (30 mins for each of the two) The interviews were open file so very specific to things you’ve done or interests you have. At the end there was a student panel. You can PM me if you have any other questions about itReceived an II today Could not be happier, I'll be interviewing on 1/25. Would anyone who has already interviewed provide me with some insight on how the interview will go/format of it. Also if any current students would be willing to share information on CUSOM's exam format and how they prepare you for COMLEX I would greatly appreciate it. Good luck to all!
Similar experience here, I felt like the questions regarding exam format and COMLEX prep were addressed in the welcome presentation and then you could also ask questions in the student panel. Definitely have questions prepared for your interviewers too in case they finish their questions for you early- mine were eager to chat about and answer my questions in the last couple mins of the interviews.
