Anyone know when will school send out decision email? 

This may be a really stupid question but how should one dress for orientation? Professional? Business casual?

I am just going to wear a jacket/sweater and pants. I doubt we have to go that formal, right?

In the first 9 weeks of first semester, we had to go in person for lecture, clinicals, and lab 5 days/ week. After that, our lectures become 50% in-person, 50% online. In our recent class though, our lectures were all online.

As in, if I test negative on my titers, should I wait until orientation to start getting my updated shots or start now (a week before)? I don't want to accidentally do something I am not supposed to, but also be prompt.

I was negative for 2 of my titers. think I'm going to just go ahead and get my vaccines now... some of them are a series and need to be 1 month apart so I would play it safe to make sure I get them in time. I think I'll do the TB first since the reading can be affected by the Varicella vaccine if I'm correct. I'm on the waitlist so regardless if I don't get a spot at least I have them done for the next time I apply and possibly get in. I also made my physical exam appt. already since those are usually hard to get in time. I scheduled it for after orientation so I would have the paperwork in case I do get accepted.

I got started on my vaccinations a month after my orientation day and was able to complete them by the deadline. If I were you though, I'd probably play it safe and start getting them done as soon as possible.

From what I remembered, everyone wore casual attire during my orientation day.

Awesome! So even if I recently tested negative on my titers, if I get them started next week (July 14th) and my program starts August 19, I should be okay right? I have everything else ready (COVID-19, TDaP, etc) it's just the negative titers. I just got the first HepB booster yesterday and will get my Varicella/MMR next Friday after orientation.

 

Thanks for the response, it's been giving me a lot of anxiety so hope you can answer this last one.

I think you should be okay. Just make sure you schedule your vaccinations so that you meet all your Castlebranch deadlines on time and you should be good.

Maybe ask if they accept titers in place of vaccines ?
