oreoo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just interviewed yesterday. Super chill and really relaxed interview. They just wanted to get to know you and be able to meet you! I really admire PA Padgett when she spoke yesterday. She is such an amazing woman with a big heart and a great mission/direction for the university. Michael Wilson said that the first 5 interview batches will hear sometime around later September-mid October! Good luck to everyone else interviewing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabeth26 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Anyone who has already interviewed or has made plans for their interview -- What hotel did you stay at/plan on staying at (if you are traveling to the interview)? And does anyone know of a hotel near Touro that offers shuttle service either to the airport to or to the university? Trying to minimize costs where ever possible!

Natalie2018 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I stayed at town hill suites, very close to the school and offers breakfast in the morning. I don't think they have any shuttle services though, I rented a car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The closest / cheapest hotel is the fiesta casino. Costs $35 a night, followed by Sunset Station Casino, about $45 a night. Both are 5-10 minutes from campus. You can most likely rent a car for $25 via online travel site or through your plane ticket purchase. Unless you want to chance it with getting Uber or a cab. If you want to be really cheap, try AirBnB and crash on some random person's couch or spare bedroom for about $20 a night. Just done stay anywhere east or including Boulder Hwy.

elizabeth26 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thank you both! :) I am 24 so that extra 50 dollar underage fee for rental cars makes the price a little rough, haha, But if I add up the costs of taxi fees from the hotel and back and to the school and back, it may end up adding up to the total cost of renting anyways, so maybe I will still consider that option! And thank you for the suggestion of the cheaper hotels Timon, I will probably go with one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I like Sunset Station over Fiesta Casino. A little classier and it's also where I stayed the night before I interviewed at TUN on 10/17/2012. Put $5 on 27 at the roulette table, said I needed some luck having a sub 3.0 GPA and if it hit, I'd be getting accepted. It hit 27, won $175, nailed my interview and was accepted with the first round of acceptances on 11/1/2012 for the c/o 2015. =o) Maybe some of that luck will pass on to who ever else stays there?

And thank you for the suggestion of the cheaper hotels Timon, I will probably go with one of those. I'm under 25 too, so I understand the rental car problems! I don't remember exactly what the cost is but it's much cheaper to rent a car through fox if you are under 25.

k3l8a Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Is anyone that is interviewing tomorrow (sept 1) staying at the fiesta Henderson and wants to share a cab in the morning? I was shocked with my $55 cab right for the 15 min drive from the airport to the hotel :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtension Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 @k318a did you tell them to take the backroad and not the high way? I rode from the airport to the strip twice (14 min ride) before and it was only $35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count.me.in Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 @Timon, Is anyone in your class doing International rotations? And would you recommend doing one? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 @Timon, Is anyone in your class doing International rotations? And would you recommend doing one? Thanks! We had two cohorts that went on international rotations. One group went in February to Guatemala and another group went to Tanzania in July. Everyone who went had a great experience from what I've gathered. You get to do a lot of procedures, see lots of patients, get to play tourist during your downtime, and most of all, you get to make a positive impact for people who desperately need medical care. The trips cost a fair amount of money, about $5k-$8k depending on where you're going. The issue with international rotations is that it takes up an elective rotation. We had a classmate who went on a rotation, ended up having a snafu and couldn't do their elective dermatology rotation. For me, I wanted to do an elective rotation in surgery to get more procedures logged in and to setup an ICU floor rotation for my electives. Unfortunately that didn't work out due to reasons beyond my control as well as TUNs. Additionally I have a wife and kids that were in another state that gave priority over the international rotations. To answer your question, it really depends on you. If I was young, no kids, and had room in my budget to go, I think it would be worth it, pending you don't have another specialty you're interested in that doesn't line up with a core rotation.

Thanks Timon! Definitely a great way to learn about other cultures, diseases, therapies, etc. And, as you said, bring some help to those in need. win-win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyak1024 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Good luck to everyone interviewing today! Did he say when to expect acceptance letters? I interviewed in August and he said we would hear by mid October. Just wondering if he told any of you when the earliest we would hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Lafleur Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm pretty sure they said they'd be making decisions after the holidays in September, so we wouldn't hear anything for at least a month or more still...but I hope I'm wrong! Sooner would be pretty okay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
