Transferring / Re: For anyone waiting on UVA...« on: July 09, 2009, 02:15:03 PM »
It seems strange that they would cut the size of the incoming transfer class by 65% compared to last year. I wonder if a couple more acceptances may trickle out as current admits receive acceptances to better schools.

Transferring / Re: Chances at NYU/CLS?« on: July 08, 2009, 05:16:53 PM »Also finally went complete today. My dean's certifications were sent last Monday and Tuesday, so it took me just over a week. I have read elsewhere that they will contact you if you have missing items. I received an email a few days after my submission requesting a signature for one of the pages of my application, but haven't heard anything since they confirmed receipt. 43
Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Re: MD/JD Program...thoughts?« on: July 08, 2009, 04:06:33 PM »Yes, the prime focus would be medicine. An education in law would be a supplement. My question was more focused on which of these 2 options is better: From what I can tell, year three is the most important year. Step 1 & 2 and your clinical rotations are probably the most important aspects of your residency applications. I think it would be a bad move to take two years off and then jump into your rotations. The part-time JD after MD is your best bet. You probably won't have time to take a JD course until 7 years after you start medical school, though. 44

It was roughly 10 days from the day all of my certifications arrived until my application status changed to complete.

Hopefully your application changing to complete means they are working on transfer applications. Were they just waiting on your transcript?

Studying and Exam Taking / Re: Are study groups worth the trouble?« on: July 07, 2009, 10:57:07 PM »
The only study group I was a part of was one where we discussed practice exam questions. Our discussions and the motivation to complete the practice tests were very helpful.

Got mine today as well, downloaded a bunch of Vault guides that I will probably never read. At least I feel like I have received something for my deposit money that may go down the drain.

If your primary focus is medicine and you want a legal background, spending an extra two years to obtain the JD seems reasonable.
I can also understand wanting to understand the medical background for malpractice and personal injury cases. I don't, however, understand spending 6+ years working towards a medical degree just to obtain a fund of knowledge that will help in the latter scenario. 50

Anyone heard anything from Chicago? In the past, they started releasing decisions in late June or early July.
