Do they accept via email or snail mail?? I keep refreshing my email all day. Also do they tell you if rejected?
Just accepted a couple of days ago. I was wondering if I could pay the $300 and still not attend? I am waiting to hear back from a few other programs and do not want to be bound or lose my seat.
Hey all,
I was looking at the site and only 73% of class 2016 got accepted into MD and DO school? I'm a little concerned... up until that it was 93%, 87.5%, 86%... Can anyone speak to this? I was really excited to go here but this has got me second-guessing.
Thanks
Hey all,
Just got accepted five days ago to the 1 year program! Super excited. 3.35 cGPA and 517 MCAT

Also, as for housing, was anyone able to find a good/relatively easy way to get some? I live in NY so I'm not sure how I'll be able to do all that before the end of August...
Thanks
Hi all! Accepted to the 2 year and looking for housing right now. I have two adorable kitties I'd like to keep with me. Anyone here open to pets and would want to room together? If not, anyone know of a good spot without an expensive pet deposit that is also relatively close to campus?
I'm a current med master. Shoot me a message!
Think about it for a second. If 73% of Class of 2016 got accepted to MD/DO schools already, that meant they applied for medical schools before they even started the SMP. I'm sure there are a lot of people who were waiting until after completing the SMP to apply to schools, so that percentage will go up in a years time.
This may be a dumb question, but the MMP is not an online program, correct? In the application it says "Please submit three (3) letters of recommendation forms(from those familiar with student's ability to be successful in an online graduate program)".
Is the program more for people who need an extra academic boost? I had a 3.90 GPA in my undergrad, but EVMS is my number one med school. Got waitlisted there this cycle... I think it might be beneficial to show I can be successful in med school classes and meeting EVMS admin and staff can't hurt. What's your opinion?
Has anybody completed the post-bac program and matriculated to the EVMS MD program the next year? I know you can "opt-out" of the classes you took during the post-bac program, so what do you do instead? I know the website says you can do research, tutoring, or teaching, but I was wondering if anyone here opted out of their classes and what you did during your first year?
Many do matriculate immediately into the next class (not all though). Opting out requires you to get honors in the course and you only opt out of the lecture portion, MM student don't do a lot of the clinical portions (i.e. Standardized patients and such) so you will be forced to do that portion your M1 year but we are talking 5-10% of the work you would normally have to do (imo). But EVMS is changing their curriculum significantly, so much so that the last MM class was not able to opt out of any course work because all of the courses changed. Will the current class or next year's class be able to opt out? I don't know.
Also talking with administration and people from past MM classes (not counting last year's class) what you do with the free time is up to you but it does seem that administration expects you to do something. Also it's not possible to opt out of anatomy because the MM anatomy is significantly different from the M1 anatomy, so you will be taking that class regardless.
EVMS just changed their Curriculum in 2016, so that's why I think they mentioned the "opt out" possibility starting with the MM Class of 2016. Also, how are classes graded in the MM program? I'm assuming honors is that highest grade you can get?
Are Master's Students graded against the medical school student curve? Also, how are NBME exams and do master's students need to take them?My understanding is that the opt out has been around for quite a while, to my knowledge the MM students have always taken the same classes as the M1s (with a few exceptions). Also the curriculum did change in 2016, and I quite like it, but it is still a work in progress. There is no guarantee that there wont be significant changes in how the courses are structured over the next few years which could have an effect on the opt out policy over the next few years.
Honors is the highest grade. If I remember correctly 100-92 is honors, 91-88 is high pass, 88-80 is pass and then I don't remember what it is after that. Minimum passing grade I believe is a 70 overall and any exam below a 65 must be remediated. Exams are typically responsible for 60-65% of our grade the next 30-35% is quizzes, group work (team centered learning and mini cases), a write-up or two and then 5% of the grade is professionalism points.

Thanks for the responses. Can any current students tell me what they most like and most dislike about the program?
Also, how many medical master's students go on to matriculate at EVMS? Would you say that this program is more difficult than you expected, and are there any classes that you recommend we take before coming?
Is it too late to apply to EVMS SMP?

Anyone know if you can defer acceptances to this program?

Is EVMS MMP actually competitive? Or does everybody who applies get in haha. What is the acceptance rate
I finished the MM 1-year program this past may and was accepted into EVMS c/o 2021 and I can definitely say it was pretty challenging. This year there were about 60 eligible students applying, (MM 1yr + MM 2yr) and about 30-32 got in.Is EVMS MMP actually competitive? Or does everybody who applies get in haha.
