Welcome! Some of us got accepted on the spot and some got emails today. Join our page on facebook!! (UAB AMNP 2017)

Sounds good to me :)

Both phases are graduate.

I'll take "generally, yes"!! I'm hoping they pretty much make their decisions before interviews and then conduct the interviews just to make sure we aren't crazy Either way, by one month from today we will have the final decisions!!

I'm thinking about emergency too! I really like that they offer sub specialties like that.

Congrats everyone!! I've given some thought to specialties, but I don't want to decide until we start clinicals and really get a feel of what I do and don't enjoy. I'm thinking about family, adult acute, and neonatal... but we'll see!!

I just got my email! October 24!!

There was speculation that they were getting hundreds this year, but when I went to an info session recently I asked. All she said is that they get "about 130 applications a year and accept about 70" and that they definitely haven't gotten hundreds. I don't know any further specifics though!

I was told by the program manager that we would know something by the 12th! I emailed her about the timeline after I submitted my application and she said they would start reviewing apps the first week of October, we would know about an interview by the 12th, and interviews the week of the 24th. I'm thankful she was so transparent about it! Usually schools are like "in a couple of weeks" haha.

Wildforest, The Oaks at Lakeshore, any of the Crowne complexes, The Hill, 4700 Colonnade, 150 Summit, and Colony Woods are all good. There are tons more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Those are all in the Homewood and Vestavia areas.

I agree with Emily. Downtown is pretty spotty unless you want to spend a small fortune for a good place I live in Vestavia and it takes me about 10 minutes to get to UAB!

Birmingham is pretty spread out, so if you want somewhere rural you'll have to live pretty far outside the city. Maybe a 30-45 minute commute? Birmingham is a great place though! I love it here. There are several neighborhood/suburb areas that are close, safe, and really cute. Downtown, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, and Hoover are the main areas. Downtown can be a little dangerous just because it's downtown, but there are some nice apartments (usually pricey though). Homewood is my favorite personally. It's an adorable area with a lot of old, charming houses. It's fairly expensive but there are definitely some affordable options. I live in Vestavia Hills, which has The Summit aka the best shopping center ever haha. It's a really cute area with old and new houses. Hoover is kind of like Vestavia but it feels a little busier to me because all the interstates run right through the middle of it. Mountain Brook is where all the rich people live. Like, multi million dollar houses on every corner... but it's beautiful! All of the areas have great shopping, restaurants, houses, and apartments. None of them feel like you're "in the city" in my opinion. Except downtown of course. You really can't go wrong anywhere! Hope this helps!

Thank the good Lord! :)

The interview dates are October 24, 25, 27, and 28. They've said they get "about 130 applications every year and accept about 70" but no specifics have been given for this year. You probably didn't get the email because your application isn't complete. I feel sure your transcript will get there in time!!

Mrs. Lavier told me they are meeting the first week of October and that we will be notified by October 12th if we have an interview.
