just starting a thread to see our classmates. so hello guys
The facility is really good. I did not get to meet the medical students during interview except for the tour guides. What really attracts me to this school is the good preparation for boards, exceptional match list, and 3rd/4th year clinical rotations at downtown Chicago. I would love to hear any feedbacks about this school (negative or positive).
Where are you guys going to stay at for the first 2 years?
Oh, and Bob, I live in the dorms btw. They are amazing, 5 years old I think. They're really student apartments..not dorms. New appliances, maple cabinets, corian countertops, building wired for ethernet and directv. rooms are huge.
Congrats ! I am looking forward to meeting you guys this coming August. Also I am wondering if any of you have received any scholarships so far for RFU?
How much scholarship do they give out every year and who qualifies?[/quote
im not even sure how the handing out of scholarships work?
Spoke with a current RFU student and he said there's not much scholarship money given out. He didn't know any amounts (dollar or number of wise).
My preliminary calculations put us at a cool negative half a mil (med students X 2 plus kid expenses) when this is all said and done.
My tombstone will read "If you're coming to collect your money - start digging."
Actually, the hilarious part is that I fully intend on being creamated. So that poor soul will be digging for quite some time...
I just found out I was accepted on Saturday! I wanted to say hello, and that I look forward to meeting everyone!
Also, is anyone going out for the Second Look Day in May? I think it sounds like a great idea, but I don't know if I really want to/can afford to fly out from the west coast.
when did you interview?
Anyone know when the orientation/white coat ceremony will be held? Basically, when do we have to get to North Chicago?

My wife and I were both accepted into the class of 2012.
Perhaps some of you will be lucky enough to partake of my fantastic grillmaster food and cold beverages soon.... when it's actually warm enough to start the grill... or stand outside for more than 2 minutes...
I'm always up for some grilling - we "newbies" should get together this summer. I'm moving there in June.
Question: did you know that I am faster than 80% of all snakes?
Hello class 2012!
...And congratulations on your admission. I am jealous because your worries about being accepted are behind, and I have just been invited for an interview (very weird, hopefully it does not affect my chances of getting in. What fo you think?). So, I just wondered if any of you could take a minute and give some advice/feedback on the your interviews (stressful? More personal questions, or ethical, or healthcare system-related?). Also, what are some of extracurricular activities/clubs on campus?... Any info will be appreciated.
Sincerely.
Is there a facebook group already set up for class 2012??
Hey folks, just got my acceptance as well! I interviewed 4/9 and got the letter on 5/2, although it was dated 4/29. Think I'm gonna zip my $100 down to the school and get this ship moving. Has anyone heard about availability of the on campus housing?
Also, what is this Second Look Day? Haven't heard anything about it.
housing is first come first served. if i were you, i would sign up online ASAP.
