How long after you paid the deposit did you receive the email and ID?
They don’t have a student portal so we just have to wait for their communications.

Strange, I was accepted in October and paid my deposit in December and haven’t heard a word since... I’m still not 100% set on this school so I haven’t really been worrying about it, but should I be worried and reach out?

Yeah if you still have some intention to attend then you should definitely contact them. The business office and IT office should've sent you emails after you paid the deposit.

Sorry for the random question but I remember reading somewhere that there is limited on-campus housing for medical students. Is this true. If not, are students able to find living quarters close by?

Any input on whether there is on-campus housing for medical students would be greatly appreciated!!!

There is some limited on-campus housing, but be warned that most of it is living in a dormitory with the undergraduate students. There are plenty of nearby apartment complexes I would recommend looking into first. If you get a roommate or 2, you can live for ~$500 / month including rent and utilities.

Do most of the students opt for research during the summer after their first year? And what are the benefits?

It seems they are still sending out As to those who recently interviewed. The class of 2025 FB page only has 31 members atm, which obviously isn't the current class size but might give you an idea

The school released a video of this year’s match results on their Facebook page earlier today for those interested to see how they did. Lots of primary care, 2 orthopedic surgery, and 1 dermatology match.

Would you mind sharing your stats and when you submitted your secondary? I submitted mine two weeks ago and haven't heard back

The majority of our graduates will always be primary care. But if you look at the last 3 classes, there’s plenty of diversity in the various sub specialties including NSGY, a few ortho, and a few derm. Our match is progressively improving in that regard, as well as in the quality of programs we are matching into.

Yea man I was surprised there wasn’t an IM match to LSU NOLA this year but overall the match has improved a lot in the last few years.

Not full. Know of at least one seat that was given up on Friday.
 
Can anyone speak for the quality of clinical rotations at this school?

Largely dependent on which rotation site you get. Mine left a lot to be desired (Gulf Coast). There are application sites which I’m guessing provide a better clinical education. My advice would be to seek out which site provides the most exposure to inpatient medicine and GME.

I Lived in "University House" with 3 other medical students my OMS-1 year. Was just across the fence on the side of campus. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. I wound up getting an apartment with a roommate for my OMS-2 year. I'd go with the apartment

I was impressed with some of the EM matches, they went to places that were traditionally closed to DO's
