alnguyen Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I got my acceptance yesterday too (Annie here). Yay, Alissa are you definitely going to RFUMS?? I'm assuming this is the same Alissa in my interview group (from SLC?)! Congrats, everyone! Very excited!! Annie! Congrats! Yes I'm 99.9% sure. Out of all the schools this has been my favorite by far and after weighing the pros and cons I've put the deposit in, no turning back now :) So excited, how about you?

meghanjurgaitis Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just received an interview invitation for January 9th. Anyone know if this is a wait list interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesr_gordon Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just received an interview invitation for January 9th. Anyone know if this is a wait list interview? Yeah the January interview session is for the waitlist BUT they said at the interview if you're on the waitlist you're likely to get a seat! So your chances are really good still.

I haven't been able to find anything online about pricing etc. and I know someone did mention that we should try to get on a wait list pretty early if we can.

I found their website and just was able to see the floor plans, I think you have to make an appointment with the building it seems like to get a price quote & find out about availability.

Here is what the guy emailed me about Woodlands: Here is a list of each unit style, the square footage, and the monthly rental rate: 1 Bed - 1 Bath (610sf) > $995 2 Bed - 1 Bath (923sf) > $1,080 2 Bed - 1 Bath (1022sf) > $1,130 2 Bed - 2 Bath – DUAL Entry (848sf) > $1,340 1 Bed - 1 Bath & DEN (894sf) > $1,135 2 Beds - 1 Bath (1010sf) > $1,230 2 Bed - 2 Bath – Deluxe (1104sf) > $1,360 * Select units have stackable washer/dryer for $30 per mo. If you email them, they will offer to put you on the wait list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesr_gordon Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hey all, I met a PA in Denver who now works in Ortho - he attended RF, graduated 2014, and sent me this email: "Wesley, I throughly enjoyed my experience at RFUMS. It is a really solid program. I found that the faculty did an excellent job for preparing us for boards. The faculty is also extremely approachable and genuinely dedicated to their students.We have excellent access to second year clinical sites through our program. You will have the opportunities to learn at some of the biggest (and sometimes craziest) hospitals in the U.S. It is a great opportunity to get a well-rounded immersion in medicine. Take full advantage of your time as a didactic student as well as a PAS-2. Be proactive with your clinical sites, and do research into which ones you would prefer for your core rotations. You do have some input on these. I was very satisfied with my clinical rotations, however, they could have been better had I put in some effort and input.Expect to work hard your first year, put in the effort to learn outside the school's walls. The more you learn and retain that first year, the more that will carry into your clinicals, and then preparing for boards will be much easier.Enjoy the ride, best of luck."

biogirl Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 A question for current students.. Just curious as to what type or model of stethoscope is recommended or required? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 They have an equipment demo day fairly early on in the first year, if I remember correctly. Gives you a chance to get some good tools with a discount. Pretty sure everyone in my class got a Littmann, though the models varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
