OOS II

Received secondary 7/13 -> submitted 7/15 -> II 8/26

am a student here, lmk if you all have any Qs

any advice for interviews?

The interview is straightforward, personable, chill. Two one-on-one interviews. One of the 2 interviewers will be a student (2nd year and up), then the 2nd will either an alum or faculty or staff member

No unanticipated or tricky questions. Very similar to a job interview but ofc geared towards your path to medicine and your interests

What has surprised you the most? Like anything you really appreciate about QU that you didn't expect before hand?

OOS II! Received today

faculty who care fiercely about not only a proper education, but well-being also. The school has hired learning experts to help develop the curriculum and discuss struggles with students. Faculty also has an open-door policy so they can be consulted at any time

So they absolutely know how to educate us without a shadow of a doubt in my mind and I do believe they are making it worth our while here.

Only downside is no home hospital, but that hasn't stopped me and others from networking around the area

appreciate the quick response! Definitely a good thing to hear. Do you mind sharing why you chose QU and what traits would be essential for someone to be happy/unhappy there. Happy to rephrase if it is unclear.

OOS II today! Curious about navigating the mesh sites? Where are the sites typically/how far do students typically travel? Early clinical exposure is awesome but I'm curious about the logistics of handling that in the early years. Also, what's the vibe re: non-trads, esp those who have families/young kiddos coming in?

one of my classmates is in their mid 30s with a spouse and a baby. I believe their spouse is not currently working and don't know the full details, but the spouse has been taking care of the baby for the most part while my classmate is dealing with school ofc

MeSH sites are driven to (and driving is required for both commute to and from campus since most ppl live 15-20 min away and MeSH). So definitely do get a reliable car before coming, if you decide to come. Sites can be up to an hour away, but MeSH itself is not a huge time commitment and is every 2 weeks I believe. I personally have not started it yet. But, above all, it is early clinical exposure to practice doctoring (subtle observation skills, diagnosis, history-taking, physical exam, etc)

Tons of other med schools require driving btw, even those with home hospitals, so the issue isnt unique to Netter
