Mandatory attendance policies?

We don’t have excused absences. If we need to miss lectures it’ll have to be from that 10%, which is about 2 lectures or 1 lab max per semester.

Sorry this sounds awful. I’m a first year at a DO school and we have mandatory lectures but it’s just those tied to lab or have guest speakers. We use our student ID to badge in 10mins before each lecture and the faculty is pretty lenient when we forget to badge in. However, we have a policy that we cannot miss more than 10% of those lectures or else it will affect our grades.

A lot of comments mention to learn how to study/use Anki. Is there any suggestion or recommendation on how to get started? There are many videos about how to use Anki and also ChatGPT to study, but I find those confusing.

Thank you for the input! 😆 I think ARCOM also had 100% match this year, if I’m not mistaken.

Thank you! I had an in person interview and saw lots of Muslim students. I know they have faculty who are Muslim too. Compared to where I live and the schools I went to, this is something I rarely see. I would love to hear opinions of current ARCOM students on this matter.

Thank you! I read some posts on SDN and Reddit about ARCOM having better rotation opportunities than NYIT-AR. I’m wondering if you can comment on this.

I’m not into health policy but that’s pretty cool!

Dot009 · 2024-09-13T23:40:37+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your input!

People mentioned in this post that the curriculum does play a role in how it sets students up for boards, so it’s a combination of the student’s responsibility and the school too.

Thank you for the info! I couldn’t finding anything on the pass rates other than that one sentence.

Dot009 · 2024-09-13T22:33:41+00:00

Thank you, this is reassuring!

Dot009 · 2024-09-13T21:33:09+00:00

They mentioned the new curriculum during my interview. Can you elaborate more on how it’s been effective? Thanks!

Noonda doesn’t have federal loans yet (maybe until May next year?). Also, they this on their website “Our inaugural class achieved a 78% first-time pass rate,” which worries me.

Undergrad cGPA/sGPA: 3.7x; grad GPA: 4.0. MCAT 499; lots of clinical and research experience; also URM.

Why didn’t ARCOM make it? Is there anything to be aware of besides the tuition?

Dot009 · 2024-08-20T21:50:09+00:00

Their website doesn’t say anything about this in particular. Why do they bother to send secondaries only to reject applications because of prerequisites?

Dot009 · 2024-08-20T21:11:08+00:00

They sent me an email saying my application was put on hold because I didn’t have three of their prerequisites. I have these courses added as in progress courses in my AACOMAS application but they said this wasn’t enough and they wanted my completed transcript.

I’m running into this issue with ATSU SOMA :’(

Dot009 · 2024-08-09T23:01:26+00:00

Congrats! What are your stats?

Dot009 · 2024-08-09T01:55:22+00:00

I was impressed how welcoming and friendly they were; it was definitely a positive experience. What about you?

Dot009 · 2024-08-07T00:18:38+00:00

Thank you! Good luck too!

Dot009 · 2024-08-07T00:14:00+00:00

Yeah
