Not reliably; at both campuses you will need a car even though you can technically get by pre-clinical years without one in Philly. A lot of students need to organize around carpooling to get to opportunities that are harder to reach by public transportation, and you don't know where you will be placed for the lottery-based rotations. The rotation sites (here) can be even as far as in a different state (even west coast) and most hospitals in the lottery for Philly students are not in Philly itself. You may not even be in a year-long site so may need to move around every block for your rotations. If you live near the West Reading campus as a WR student, you can walk to the hospital for rotations as well (10-15 min walk from campus or via shuttle from school), though you'll need a car for general living as a WR student.I just got the A as well!!!! Are there current med students lurking right now? I wanna know if I can rely on public transportations to get to clinical rotations at hospitals?
Thank you for the information. Do you know which sites are not year-long? I was hoping to avoid shuffling around rotation to rotation for the third year!Not reliably; at both campuses you will need a car even though you can technically get by pre-clinical years without one in Philly.

I would guess that the new admits who accept the offer and pay the deposit quickly will be included in the lotto and I think that's why they've been waiting to do it. Pretty sure anyone who gets accepted after June 1 is supposed to get their campus assignment immediately but judging by how delayed they've been this cycle that may not be the case.Congrats all!
I called recently, and next campus lottery is within a week or so but I’m unsure if acceptances today will be included. I asked about likelihood of being assigned Philly as well but they don’t have estimates.
There is actually a GroupMe, I’m hesitant to post link here but the link is somewhere in the Facebook group in a comment of a post!
the only non-year-long option is staying in Philly and rotating at various hospitals/clinics around the city but you can choose to go to a year-long site at Crozer Medical Center which is in south PhillyThank you for the information.

Ahhhh thank you! That makes me feel better, haha. I was worried I might have to drive around from Harrisburg to York to Reading or something, haha. Now I just need that Philly campus assignment...!! 🙏I'm already thinking of moving directly above Angelo's.the only non-year-long option is staying in Philly and rotating at various hospitals/clinics around the city but you can choose to go to a year-long site at Crozer Medical Center which is in south Philly
Are students able to rely on public transportation to get to the sites in Philly for the non year long option?the only non-year-long option is staying in Philly and rotating at various hospitals/clinics around the city but you can choose to go to a year-long site at Crozer Medical Center which is in south Philly
I probably wouldn't recommend it because 1. public transportation might not be super reliable depending on how far you have to travel and 2. the time it would take to get to your rotation site via public transportation may not be super reliable. I think the majority of Philly rotating students have a car that they use to get to their clinical sites.Are students able to rely on public transportation to get to the sites in Philly for the non year long option?
Congrats, future doctor!!!Interviewed in November, deferred in December, accepted today
Interviewed in November, deferred in December, accepted today
Based off how decisions have been released, it looks like those who interviewed in the third week of March (3/13-3/17) should hear back this weekShould late-mid march interviews hear back this week?
Pretty sure every school will have the same policy. no middleman. Straight from your school to them.Quick question regarding the sending of final undergrad transcripts pre matriculation. Will ducom accept the transcript if it's sent to me first and I email it to them, or is this one of those it has to be sent straight to them or its invalid
Does anyone know when the school starts? Have been trying to find the calendar but couldnt find it :/
I believe that they would send an official waitlist email to notify you of your current status. Around this time last year, they had begun to put people on the waitlist instead of deferring them.So... are deferred people considered waitlisted now? also do waitlisted/deferred people get rejections based off of previous years? or do we just remain in this status until the cycle is over over
Only deferrals from what was reportedWere decisions today from deferrals or from recent interviews?
