I used this to plan some of my after-interview stops, wanted to share it as a resource for y'all The Surprising Mississippi Food Town You Need To Visit Now
I agree with everything the people above said! the SDN website was great in preparing me for my interview; just know your application and be prepared to answer an ethical question! otherwise, the interview is not stressful. they really just want to get to know you!hello everyone! i have an upcoming interview and i am trying to prepare for it. if anyone has any advice on how to prepare, what kinds of questions they were asked in their interview, and any last min tips, i would really appreciate it! thank you
Congrats!! I also got the A this morning and was searching for dates and such. I found last year's student handbook and catalog here: https://www.wmcarey.edu/assets/docu...t Handbook and Catalog Edits for NY (003).pdfJust got an A!!!! 🥰
I am a Canadian student, so if there are any other international student that can share their experience living and going here, please lmk.
Also where can I find the important dates calendar or find the date when semester starts?

It has a lot of other information there as well. I couldn't find the 2024-2025 version but it should be roughly the same.
Yea for sure!hey! congrats on the A!! can I pm you? i have an interview coming up
ya ofcsame here. can i pm you?
congrats on finishing your interview! I interviewed in february on a monday and got the A that following wednesday. I believe they said it would take ~10 days to hear back, if not earlierCanadian student here, had my interview yesterday. I want to say it went well, for those with interviews coming up here are the questions they asked me: why medicine? Tell us about your experience shadowing DOs, what do you know about DOs? Why our school? Where do you see yourself working? What kind of specialty are you interested in? I was also given an ethical scenario about physician assisted suicide, and this question last question was about my mcat score (496 -> 510) they wanted to know about the process. Overall was good but hard to gauge the interviewers stance, def felt the a bit of pressure not as relaxing as some people made it seem but maybe it was just me. Hopefully those who have yet to do their interviews, kill it! Well get through this.
P.S would really appreciate if someone could tell me what’s the usual timeline for getting back to us about decisions
What kind of vibes did you get during your interview? I just want to gauge because mine were very neutral and hit me with question after question. I feel as though my answers were decent.congrats on finishing your interview! I interviewed in february on a monday and got the A that following wednesday.

My interview was virtualcongrats on finishing your interview! can i ask if you did the virtual or in-person interview? thanks and good luck
overall, I don't think my interview was too stressful! it did feel like they were just going straight from question to question, but it seemed like they really cared about my responses and would follow-up based on what I said. I wouldn't stress too much about it, I'm sure you did great! good luck with everything!What kind of vibes did you get during your interview?

current OMS2:Hey! If there are any current students in the forum. What would you suggest are must haves for first year? Also how many sets of scrubs do you suggest, being that we have to wear that or office attire to class. I want to start planning out everything I need. I know its early lol, but I just want to feel like i'm being proactive hahaha.
the OMS-1 scrubs are burgundy? also thanks for the detailscurrent OMS2:
-I have 3 "class" scrub pants and 4 "class" tops and its more than enough. Two of each would be fine. Y'alls color should be burgundy if they keep the same rotation but I would verify this before purchasing.
-the white coat
-in my personal opinion, DO NOT BUY SCRUBS FROM THE BOOKSTORE. they never arrive on time, have issues, etc. I would reccomend buying your scrubs and getting them embroidered at The Embroidery Hut her in hattiesburg that has all the logos and details you need, is a local business, and pretty reasonable price wise.
-2-3 pairs of throw away scrubs for anatomy lab
-iPad Pro imo is a must at Carey. Its just kind of part of the assumed workflow.
-Some kind of noise cancelling headphones (my AirPod Pro's work great)
-2-3 Business outfits
-A car
-Buy a cheap otoscope and ophthalmoscope and BP cuff imo. You'll want it to practice when the ILC isn't open.
-The stethoscope they reccomend.
That's really the necessities other than stuff you might need for personal living, etc. I will say from personal experience trying to tie up all the lil loose ends is a really great idea! Get all of your doctors, dentists, annual visits out of the way. Get a tune up on your car. You don't have to want to be worrying about that first year!
Agree with all of this! I have 2 regular and 2 cheap scrubs for anatomy, I have an iPad Air that I use almost every day! Definitely buy scrubs on amazon and get them embroidered from scrubs n more!current OMS2:

This year Total COA was ~ $44K for annual tuition and then you can take up to $44K additional for annual living expenses which is more than enough given its not taxed. so like $88K ish total? Probs won't go up a ton next year.the OMS-1 scrubs are burgundy? also thanks for the details
Probs in the summer!Does anyone know when we should receive more information about matriculation? Like when we need to complete drug screenings and the rest of that stuff?
there are some great posts up in the thread discussing housing!has anybody started looking into housing? where do most students live and how safe is it? appreciate any advice you guys can provide!!
pros of breckenridge:I know someone had mentioned breckenridge earlier when I asked about housing but can anyone give me more details about how they like it? is the area nice/safe, are the apartments clean, etc?
