Ross University Admission

Ross University Admission

Hi everyone,
I recently applied to Ross University School of Medicine and have a scheduled admissions decision call in 3 days. I’m trying to understand how Ross decides between Direct MD admission, MedOrigin, and MERP.
My stats are:
MCAT: 498
Undergraduate GPA: 3.15
Master’s GPA: 3.67 (Biomedical Sciences)
About 1,200 hours of clinical experience as a nurse aide
U.S. citizen
I was told my admissions decision would be discussed during a scheduled phone call, and I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
For those who were accepted to Ross:
What were your MCAT and GPA stats? Please try to share since it anonymous
Were you offered Direct MD, MedOrigin, or MERP?
Did Ross schedule a phone call to give you the decision, or was it sent by email?
Based on my stats, would you expect Direct MD, MedOrigin, or MERP?
Do you know anyone with a 495-500 MCAT who was still placed into MedOrigin or MERP?
I’m trying to figure out what is most likely before the call. Any insight from current students or recent admits would be greatly appreciated.

Traveling Costs During Medical School

Clinical Medicine - General

Hey everyone! Just curious, about how much in total have you spent on travel during medical school (away rotations, conferences, etc)? Did you typically stay alone, with classmates, or with roommates you found elsewhere? Trying to get an idea on how much people have to spend out of pocket

1

Don't Only Post Anti-Caribbean Content

We know that Caribbean schools are only after the money and statistically lead to failure. No one in the subreddit encourages students to go to the Caribbean as their first choice. However, continuous anti-Caribbean content serves little purpose to those in the Caribbean trying to succeed.

2

Be Nice

Don't be a mean person. Let's use this community to strengthen one another! We understand that the line between critical and mean may not be so obvious but if your post/comment history is overwhelmingly negative, we will ban you.

3

No Posting Copyrighted Material

Please don't post past CBSE or USMLE questions verbatim. Discussion of topics, is permitted and encouraged. NBME topic discussion from offline and online forums is allowed as long as it is not verbatim.

Bottom line: if it will result in a copyright removal by reddit, it's not allowed to be posted.

4

Try to be Helpful by adding value to the discussion

Please check if your post/comment adds value to the conversation and helps the OP further address the discussion. Due to the overly hostile and demeaning nature of SDN, any non-helpful posts/comments will be removed.

For example saying "XYZ school sucks" will result in removal. But saying "XYZ school is a not a good choice because of reason(s) 1,2,3" is welcome and encouraged.

5

No Doxxing or Real Names

No Doxxing. If you know someone's real identity, please do not dox them on the subreddit or to your school's administration. When referring to faculty, please use their titles instead of real names. For example, instead of Barack Obama, say former President of America.

6

No Advertising (includes suspected advertising). No buying/selling resources. No school staff!

No offering to sell or trade resources, tutoring, test questions etc... No blatant advertisements of specific medical schools or links to other social media. No posting comments or posts that sounds like blatant advertising. If we believe that you are an employee or associate of a school advertising, we will ban you. Exceptions apply.

No promotion of new/untested commercial study resources etc.. Promoting Anking, Boards and Beyond, Pathoma and other tried and tested resources is allowed.

7

Don’t encourage violating laws, school policies, or rules of accreditation organizations

For example, don’t suggest methods to cheat on standardized tests, or to lie on applications.

8

Avoid Hysterical Rants. Don't spam posts or comments.

Many students fail out of Caribbean schools and come on this subreddit to rant. Saying stuff like “the school kicked me out for no reason” will be removed because there is always a reason.

Always post the full story to the best of your extent in these situations. Did you fail any classes? Were there any professional issues? Did you take multiple LOAs? Etc…

9

No “baiting”, “trauma dumping”, “larping”, ban evasions, or obnoxious behavior

Avoid nonsensical posts or comments that seek attention or mask a deeper psychological issue.

No “baiting”, “trauma dumping”, “larping”, ban evasions, or obnoxious behavior

10

Statistics and data can’t be blatantly unfounded

Every Caribbean schools lies about their stats. Don’t perpetuate those lies. Don’t post information that you don’t know. You can guess but state that it’s your guess.
