Does anyone know if there's any validity of the rumors that LMU is partnering with Covenant to establish set rotation sites?

DCOM has partnered with Covenant in the Knoxville area. The Morristown site and Oak Ridge are covenant hospitals. I have heard from current 3rd year students mostly positive things from both sites.

Reiterating what someone said previously, the rumors about clinical sites being crap are old rumors. There is always going to be someone with a bad experience but from all the 3rd and 4th year students I've talked with most feedback has been very positive.

those of you who interviewed today... how did it go?
Click to expand...

Mine went really well, the interviewers were laid back and helpful. The whole thing seemed to flow.

It felt too short though, I had so much that I prepared for and that I wanted to say, but those things never came up.

All in all it went well, and I am excited to hear back from them. I like my chances. How about you/everyone else?
 
Anyone know how to get in touch with the apartment management for the apartments in Cumberland Gap? Those places looked awesome.
 
Just got the call! I will definitely accept. Hello future fam! I am so excited!

Congrats! Would you mind posting your stats? I interviewed here last month with a high GPA and average MCAT, and was waitlisted :(
 
Just got the email- waitlisted! It's not a rejection, so there's still a chance!

They said at my interview day they have LOTS that get in from the waitlist here. If I'm not mistaken that number was like 60-70% chance! So hang in there!

Those are excellent stats's I had MUCH lower and was accepted. It really comes down to many factors. Best of luck to anyone going through the disappointment of rejection. I've been there, many, many times. Everything will be ok, you CAN do this. Regroup, meet with an advisor, figure out what you need to do and go all in! Please feel free to pm me for advise or just good 'ol fashion encouragement. I'm cheering for you!

It is an honor to be accepted for sure. It took me a long time to get together a strong enough application, and I had to make many course adjustments over the last two years to do so. Spectreman is absolutely right, if you want it enough you can do it. Get feedback and talk with premed or other advisor, and amend your qualifications to reflect what the school desires. Then try try again guys. Best of luck.

Does anyone have any idea what time they would start calling today for the 4/7 interviews? I looked in previous years forums around Easter weekend and no one seemed to comment on when they heard back.
 
I got the call at 4:30PM CST!!!!! :soexcited:

Does anyone have an interview still scheduled? Are they going to start pulling from the waitlist soon?

They told us at the 4/7 interview that there was one more date left after us which is this Friday I think. Wait list movement typically starts the first full week in May, because they wait until they have made decisons for the last interview date.

So how is it going guys? Any new acceptances? Is everybody gearing up for this fall?

My main question is this. How are you, if at all, preparing in these final months for the start of medical school?

I will take a look at some of the material before hand for sure. I am also shoring up my relationships, especially with my SO just trying to lay out boundaries and expectations.

What are you doing??

Don't do this. Enjoy the limited free time you have.

Agreed. Reading up on a subject wont be helpful. Sure you could pick anatomy, but what happens when you get to class and are told that you didn't need to memorize half the stuff you did; you just lost some valuable free time doing that. Also, you can't predict how they want you to know the material.
 
The best thing you could probably do to get ready for the year this summer is go to the Anatomy Boot Camp, and even that isn't necessary to do well. It'll give you a leg up on those that don't go for the first few exams for sure, but again not necessary.

Other than that, eat some good food - because that's probably the most lacking thing out here lol

Whatever you do, don't do that. Not only will you spend a month studying what will most likely be covered in a lecture or two, but you literally have no idea what's high yield info. You'll quickly learn it's not about spending tons of time studying, it's spending time studying the right crap.
 
Any idea of how many are on the waitlist? All on the waitlist say "I"? Haha

I hope we all get pulled off the waitlist

Haha, I wish.

When I interviewed in the last week of March, they told us there are usually 70-80 applicants on the waitlist. That number may have increased with the growing number of applicants this year though.
 
They said the waitlist is unranked, right? I don't really understand how they choose who to pull then.
 
3.5 s/cGPA , a little under 500 MCAT, tons of EC's. Anyone else?
