Hey everyone, just wanted to get started with our class thread and I can't wait to meet some of my future classmates!
Future classmate! Yay!
This actually made me laugh. Just out of curiosity, what privileges do they take away?when the seats get too empty the administration will take privileges away from the students.

Can anyone (incoming or current student) share more info about the places where clinical rotations are done? I don't remember much about that from my interview day, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find that info. on the TCOM website.
Here's a list that Snowkhat posted in the TCOM c/o 2011 thread over two years ago. Definitely would appreciate any info about the places or updates on the list.
Bay Area Med.Cent: Corpus Christi
Baylor All Saints: Ft.Worth
Brownwood Regional: Brownwood
Christus Spohn: Corpus
Cook Childrens: Fort Worth
Droscoll Childrens: Corpus
Harris Methodist: Ft Worth
JPS: Fort Worth
Mesquite Community: Mesquite
Methodist Charlton: Dallas
Methodist Dallas: Dallas
Plaza: Ft Worth
Terrell State Hospital: Terrell
Texas Tech: Odessa
UT Tyler: Tyler
William Beaumont Army: EL Paso
You have to be military for this one, and on that token, I believe that Brooke Army Hospital and Wilford Hall (Air Force) in San Antonio would be available.
I also remember them saying something about the hospital in Harlingen and Baptist in Laredo. Could be mistaken, but it's possible.
This is the most current list we got from the director of 3rd and 4th years for clerkships. this applies to the class of 2011.
Wow thanks for all the info. Got some more questions for you. How much time do they give you to prepare for the USMLE, and did you feel it was enough? Also, are the clerkships pretty flexible when the time comes for residency interviews?
I'm looking forward to the flood of future classmates
We really need to get this thread a little more lively! Anyone know when the "spring fling" thing I've heard so much about is going to be? Also, did everyone see the info posted for our class on http://www.hsc.unt.edu/sites/orientation/index.cfm?pageName=DO Orientation this website?
Orientation starts July 20 and white coat ceremony is July 26. Start getting excited!
Was anyone else ridiculously excited to get that email today??? I pretty much knew all that stuff anyways from searching around their site but it's the first I've heard from them in internet form and it made me really happy!!!
Totally I liked this part: "You will receive a laptop computer during orientation. Please do not purchase one! (mandatory)"
Any idea what the specs are on that laptop? Can we not just use our own & sell the one they give us?
I dunno. I think it's some sort of tablet w/ software on it that we need. I guess maybe if you could get the software and put it on your comp you might be able to bypass the mandatory computer?...unless we HAVE to have the tablet option. I don't really know though, mine's literally falling apart and I need a new one anyways so I'm definitely using what they give us.
Does anyone know if we will need a PDA next year? I think I read somewhere about required software for a PDA but i cant for the life of me remember.
Any help would be appreciated
I kinda hope that there is some iphone compatibility for the PDA requirement. I'm thinking about getting it this weekend but have been reserved due to this "PDA requirement"

Thanks nerdqueen for the PDA info. Been trying to find some info to that nature. Apparently we just need something epocrates essential compatible. THerefore i am very happy with my purchase of the iphone this weekend since epocrates essential is now on the iphone thanks to Apple releasing the SDK for it. ....I cannot take my hands off of it lol i think i'mma fail my test tuesday because of it heh
pinky, i dunno if you're on facebook but theres a tcom 2013 group and there's a girl on there looking for a roommate.
Would it help out an applicant who is only applying to TCOM, but knows that they most likely don't have a chance applying EDP, to go ahead and apply EDP to help out their application in the general applicant pool?
How are students graded in the first and second years? Letter grades mainly; a few courses are pass/fail, but your core blocks are letter grades
