What do you like most?

"There is pre-work given before classes." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"WSU pharm students were misled about the testing model/curriculum. The school withheld information and PURPOSELY did not inform any of its incoming and current students about the new testing model. Everyone found out on the first day of class, which is unethical. The website is misleading and states “competency thresholds will be no less than 70%.” However, the competency for all the classes are 80%, not 70%, which you will find out on the first day of class. Meaning, you must pass all your cumulative (final) exams and overall course grade with an 80%." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
