I went to the Ross information session, where incoming 1st semester students were invited as well, yesterday in Santa Monica and it was a great session. Most of the information that was presented during the session I was already aware of, but it was good to have that opportunity to ask further questions to the panel, which included Ross University administration, current medical students, practicing physicians, and residents. They were all very informative and honest about their experiences at Ross. Some of the information they presented was the significant correlation between RUSM GPA and USMLE step 1, which indicates that Ross does a excellent job of preparing students for the step 1. That's the goal to do well on USMLE right?
We also had a new student orientation at the Hyatt hotel where they bought drinks and appetizers for us. We got a chance to meet the other incoming students, Ross staff, practicing physicians, and medical students. It was a great opportunity to get insight about the details of the island and what to expect coming in. Two of the students were completed their rotations in my hometown so it was nice to have that in common. Everyone seemed very nice, and they all felt like going to Ross prepared them very well. Having a alumni group that large means that most hospitals are familiar with Ross University, making it easier to get a residency.
