needmorecoffee Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I had a different experience. I lacked the lab for organic and was told verbatim "we never let the lack of a lab stand in our way". Was offered an interview but ultimately declined attending Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent me an email last year saying they would like to invite me for an interview, but I didn’t have biochem completed. I also took my statistics class over ten years ago, so if I wanted to attend there after the interview process, I’d have to retake it so it was within 10 years. I finished biochem and retook stats and was invited to interview. They don’t really flex when it comes to having the correct prerequisites. Since anatomy lab is a prerequisite, they won’t be able to interview you. Just my opinion though, good luck! I received an email last week about being invited to interview even though I haven't finished genetics yet. I was told that they don't have any open interview spots for the remainder of 2017 but that they will start to fill interview slots for January and February within the next few weeks.

TheLastStone Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Congrats to everyone that has been accepted! I was curious if y'all could post stats so I know kind of the consensus with what to expect to "shoot for". I say that last part very loosely, but it's nice to know where everyone is at for future applicants. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastStone Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Oh, I haven't yet applied. This is just one of my prospective programs and I was curious what the most recent class' stats were. I'll check out that website, regardless. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastStone Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Really? I feel more comfortable one on one for some reason. What kind of HCE or research and EC's did you have? Congrats on getting in, btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some volunteering with disabled children here and there. Also was a TA for a psych course. I didn't really have anything that stood out, but I expressed how much I would love to continue living in Charlotte so they knew I would accept right away if I got an offer.

I have my EMT cert and I've been thinking of getting my CNA so I can go into an ER tech position. I was also offered a position to be an SI instructor for a chemistry course at my university, so it's cool I can add that. And I would absolutely love to stay in Charlotte. I hope you like the program! I'll be around 30 when I apply so it may be a little different for me.. not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to look at applications very holistically so as long as you seem well rounded, they'll show some interest in your application. The building was the nicest out of the all the programs I interviewed at and the students all seemed very happy. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastStone Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That's awesome to hear! It's not far from me, so I plan on making my presence known so come applying time they'll recognize my face and/or name. Thank you! Happy Holidays!

Kato602 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 What are people doing for housing? I'm from Minnesnowta coming into class of 2020. I can't really explore much of the location, but from what I remember there wasn't much besides single family homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodlesbroski Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've been trying to look for apartments nearby but from what I see, most of the okay ones are near matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato602 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Is Matthews closer to Wingate than monroe? I don't recall where Matthews is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilygurlie Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've lived around the area for a while. Matthews is much nicer and modern area than Monroe but a bit farther out there - around a 30 minute drive. Indian Trail is also very nice but also a 30 minute drive. Monroe is really rural, has more crime, and places are generally more run down but overall cheaper and require less commuting (20 minutes). You can also live in Charlotte which is a huge city with lots to do but will probably be a 45 minute commute and tons of traffic. A 2 bedroom goes for around 1500 in Charlotte. I think there were some apartments right next to Wingate but they were quite expensive and kinda run down. I've talked to current students, and a lot of them commute from Charlotte (which is a bit too far for me personally) or the Matthews area. Some students even commute like an hour each way :/ Some of them are in apartments, rent a townhome/home, or have bought homes in the area (generally students who have kids and such). Some of them live alone and can justify the cost of that while most students I know have a roommate who is also in the PA or Pharmacy program.

Kato602 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks for the info. Perfect world I can find a place within walking distance of Levine HS, at least for the first year. Perhaps people around the area may rent out their houses? Is there a platform where people of the incoming class become connected? I am trying to eliminate any commute, even if that means having to live in some decrepit home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are some grad school apartments next to the school, but kinda overpriced and dingy lol. But at least you don't have to commute. I just checked apartment finder and there doesn't seem to be any rooms available in the grad school apts though. You can also look on zillow/craigslist to see if someone is willing to rent their home? I toured around next to Wingate and didn't see much though. I don't think there is an accepted Facebook page for the main campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato602 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I agree with bluegrey. Because after I sent my official transcripts to Wingate I haven't had any communication of any kind with the school. It has been about 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
