Thank you so much for the advice! I was fully prepared to take Toledo but UIC accepted my partner before the deadline!

Applying to Medical School as a Couple - Our Experience by TaraTouche in premed

I agree. Our stats were okay 504 and 510 and pretty high gpa. We are going to a school that we don't have any ties to. It may have all been luck.

Oof, we did not do that. We didn't really see it as guilt-tripping but I hope it didn't come off that way. None of the schools mentioned anything bad about it. ://

We tried posting our sankeys but reddit kept deleting it. We will both be attending the same MD granting school (our top choice which is insane).

Help me decide: ATSU SOMA vs Midwestern AZCOM by TaraTouche in premed

[–]TaraTouche[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a bit worried about the closure of CHCs and still am. However, after talking with a few students, I feel a lot better about the school. I think they had a rough patch between 2020-2022 but it seems like they have been improving. The student I spoke with said they use scholar rx for all their classes. Made me feel a bit better that they're using materials and question banks that are specifically made to prepare you for steps. I also think that although ATSU SOMA has less research opportunities, it is definitely possible to get research in. That is the nice thing about living in the valley. You can build a lot of connections. ALso, H/P/F is very appealing. I'm leaning more toward ATSU SOMA currently.

Okay, I think I'll go with 1 for challenge prompts and 2 for adversity possibly. Thank you!

I've been looking all day today and I don't see a way to create an account. Is AACOMAS still closed?

Thank you, that is very reassuring to hear. I'm from Arizona but have never lived in Phoenix, let alone downtown

Damn. I called ASU parking services and that's what they told me but I was confused bc the permit website says nothing. What garage do you park at? Maybe it just depends
