May I ask you why podiatry instead of MD/DO?
I really liked both schools, but my heart is telling me CSPM, mostly because CSPM has the 2nd year clinical start. I am not sure if this will be beneficial or will hurt my academic studies,
Can't wait to hear others that are choosing CSPM!!
When did you apply for the CSPM scholarship, and how quick did they respond to you? Also have you put the 1,000 deposit for CSPM?Excited to share my information!!
Stats: sGPA: 3.14, cGPA: 3.38, MCAT: 489, about 20 hours of pod shadowing, currently working with a podiatrist in an endocrine and diabetes practice
Applied: NYCPM, Temple, Barry, CSPM, Scholl, AZPOD
Interview invites so far: NYCPM, Barry, CSPM, Scholl
Waitlist: AZPOD
Rejected: Temple straight out rejected me within 24 hours
Interviewed at: Barry, CSPM
Accepted: Barry, CSPM, with $5,000 scholarships to both
I really liked both schools, but my heart is telling me CSPM, mostly because CSPM has the 2nd year clinical start. I am not sure if this will be beneficial or will hurt my academic studies, however, I really like that in my 2nd year, I won't be in class all week long!
Interviewing at NYCPM in a couple days, but I am thinking of cancelling because I really loved CSPM!! I am probably cancelling my Scholl interview as well.
Can't wait to hear others that are choosing CSPM!!
You qualify for scholarships automatically based on your GPA and MCAT.When did you apply for the CSPM scholarship, and how quick did they respond to you? Also have you put the 1,000 deposit for CSPM?

Hey PM me!! I deposited at CSPM too!Interviewed at Barry and CPSM, Going to CPSM! Excited for everyone who was accepted this cycle!
My wife is from Sacramento, so we are literally in the same boat as far as that goes. Did you already put your deposit down?
Stats: Biology major, cGPA 3.55, sGPA 3.68, MCAT 501.
Experiences: Various volunteer with recognized organizations such as Boy Scouts of America, Habitat for Humanity, LiveSTRONG foundation, some stuff for undergraduate institution service, and religious volunteer work. Several leadership positions including biology teaching assistant for 5 semesters, chemistry teaching assistant for 2 semesters, high school track assistant coach, leadership on collegiate XC and track team, Shift lead into assistant manager at work, counselor at youth camp, and some student government and clubs leadership. I volunteered in a hospital for about 2-3 hours a week for a little over a year. I attended several "Taking the Next Step" podiatry conferences, I was also able to visit the Western Foot and Ankle conference this year in California. I was involved in a podiatric medical club on my undergraduate campus and shadowed 4 different podiatrists for a total of about 70 hours. Was on the dean's list in undergraduate for 6 semesters, and I feel like I wrote a pretty descent personal statement (humble brag).
Applied: CSPM, WesternU, AZPOD, Scholl, DMU, Kent
Interview invites to all but DMU, after not getting back to me for a month I emailed them to ask about it... I guess they didn't like that.
Interviewed at CSPM, WesternU, and Kent
Cancelled other interviews after CSPM acceptance w/ $5000, WesternU acceptance w/ $5000 and Kent acceptance.
A few weeks ago I put down my deposit to attend at CSPM this fall. I really liked the faculty and staff there as well as the student culture. I loved the amount of clinical exposure and the programs they have relationships with for rotations and residencies. Also my wife didn't want to go to southern California, and my son could say Oakland easier than Pomona (which was the real deciding factor).

Ok, also... Have you considered NYCPM? Just got accepted there but I’m a little torn between CSPM sand NYCPM. I hear NYCPM has a tough curriculumI got the scholarship with my acceptance. I have not deposited yet I still have about a month. I probably will deposit soon though.

I think all the schools have a tough curriculum. It is still medical school! It will not be easy. But what I think separates the two is the resources that the school gives you to do better in classes. Like in CSPM, students were telling me that professors record their lectures, so we don't have to attend every single class, that we know we can do better by just studying at home. At NYCPM, attendance is mandatory. There is also peer tutors at CSPM, so that is very helpful. The biggest pro I see is starting clinicals in your second year, giving you something to be excited for in your first year while taking all the hard classes!Ok, also... Have you considered NYCPM?

Apply for FAFSA. Once you are accepted, school will provide you with all the information you need for federal loans. You will then pick and sign for loans and amounts you want to get.How do I apply for a loan? What is the best type of loan to get? Do I have to contact the school or FAFSA to get the loan?

At my school, we weren't given any information on loans until like after July. I dont think you can apply for loans without school giving you all the information and necessary paperwork to fill out. But maybe other schools do it differently.Thank you. I start next August. I applied for FAFSA last month. So now I will apply for the loan thru FAFSA.
