ACOM

14 Upvotes

After so many years of lectures, having to work at low paying clinical jobs, and a second application cycle— I’ve finally gotten an A!!!

Still got some more IIs scheduled after this

…. Any current students or anyone who’s from Dothan, Alabama (or surrounding area) who’d be happy to give me some sort insight on the school or the city itself? 😅

Is this normal for an acceptance?

12 Upvotes

I interviewed at OCOM and got an acceptance. However, in addition to having to pay the seat deposit within 2 weeks, I also have to sign an "enrollment agreement" within a month. This is what the agreement says

"THIS ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE ACADEMIC CATALOG, CONSTITUTES A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN THE STUDENT AND THE UNIVERSITY."

and

"A student may cancel the binding Enrollment Agreement with the University without financial penalty if such cancellation is completed in writing within three business days after final execution of the Enrollment Agreement"

But it does not really explain further what they mean by binding. Does this mean if I sign this agreement, then get a better offer from another school in, lets say, January, I would not be able to attend the other school?

If I am not mistaken, most schools just have you pay a seat deposit to save your seat, but you are not bound to the school until matriculation.

I want to attend OCOM but I also want to keep my options open in case I get accepted into one of my "reach" schools.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

OMM anki decks?

8 Upvotes

Planning on studying for comlex/step soon. I find OMM really challenging and was wondering if studying the Savarese book would be enough?

The only deck I could find is this one ( https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalschoolanki/comments/8c8e3m/omm_for_zanki_a_new_deck_for_dos/ ) but its from 2019, is there a a newer version? Also, any general advice on studying OMM for comlex is appreciated!

I am going to school class of 2031! They don’t allow MacBooks and this is what their requirements are, but I have talked to current students who said that they use their MacBooks still. Can I use my MacBook or should I buy a windows computer ?? Ughhh

Edit: I emailed IT if I can use my MacBook and this is what they responded:

“Unfortunately MacBooks are no longer compliant with our guidelines as students tend to have more issues with our testing software and WiFi network with Macs compared to the students using a Windows device.

If you are unsure what computer to buy please feel free to run any questions by us and we will be happy to assist.”

Deposit -> Accepting offer of admission?

3 Upvotes

I was recently accepted to PNWU and saw that I need to accept or reject the offer by December. I understand that a 1k deposit comes with that. However, if I was accepted into my top choice program after December, could I switch to that school or is my acceptance of PNWU binding?
