I wanted to connect with people that applied to LMU's Post Bac Medical Science Program (PMSP). Someone on SDN mentioned that Fall 2010 is the program's first class and I am a bit worried about entering a program that has absolutely no feedback, etc. The one thing I liked was that according to the LMU website, "The Program offers a guaranteed interview to LMUs Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine for students who complete the PMSP program in good standing." Other than that however, I don't know much else about it. Thanks for the help.
I actually spoke with Dr. Vanderpool (the post-bacc program's director), and she said we will have to apply for medical school in summer 2011 (right before finishing the post-bacc program). This means that we will actually attend medical school in 2012 (if everything goes smoothly).
If the tuition is 15,120 then the 24,000 number is probably the Cost of Attendance (COA)
Hey, I was just accepted to LMU's post bac program! I just want to connect with a few people who are also going to be in the program with me this fall! My wife and I are coming from Minneapolis MN and are currently looking for housing off campus. does anyone have any suggestions?
Just for curiousity's sake, is it for sure that after completing the program, they require you to take a glide year by applying after the program is completed and not during so the soonest you can matriculate if you start the program of Fall 2010 is Fall of 2012?
I'm applying to the LMU post bacc program right now and I'm just waiting on my transcripts to arrive. I've heard nothing but great things about this school and I wold love to end there for Med school. I am currently deployed in Iraq as a Medical Service Corp Officer and I'm getting the opportunity to shadow a great D.O. while here on deployment. The more and more I see, the more and more I want to attend a D.O. program. I graduated from a big state school with a 2.7 and have recently brought that up to a 2.9 with more coursework. I have a 3.5 GPA in my last 35 hours of coursework and that includes several hard sciences like Microbiology and A & P 1 and 2. I know the GPA you need is a 2.5 but for anyone that has been accepted, have your scores been close to mine or what did it take for you to get into the post bacc program? This program looks phenomenal. I hope the class is not full by the time my transcripts get there. Congrats to everyone who was accepted and I hope I get to see you in class this Fall!
I have not taken the MCAT yet. I hope that doesn't hurt my chances. That's a great idea about the letter of intent. Is it really true that classes start in July and not August???
Hey everyone, I am really confused now. I thought classes start July 30th, someones post says June 30th. I have not heard anything from the school and I have sent emails and left messages. Does anyone have a better answer or know when we are going to get information??? If classes start June 30th then getting financial aid, finding a place to live and moving down has just become very difficult. Let me know what the buzz is out there!!
Can somebody please share about the housing and financial aid if you already got the information package ..I haven't received mine yet. really confused as of what to do now. got no information whatsoever other than the school's website.
Also, for those of you who are coming from out of state, are you guys planning to just drive there or ship your car?
Is this program going to be helpful toward MD schools as well?
Thanks
they don't really say anything about the MCAT requirement. so I'm not sure if they have a min MCAT score to get an interview for their med school.
Hi chochip, is taking the MCAT before summer will be helpful? and also, i'm not sure how much time we have to study for it since we'll be taking science classes in the program. i doubt that we'll have some extra time to study for the MCAT before summer. are we getting any school break during the semester?
Hi chocchip, so does it mean that you're filling out the aacomas application now? How do you know which school you're applying to for the aacomas list if you haven't retaken your MCAT?. Also, isn't that too late for the application to be considered by med school if you take your MCAT in january to apply for this year cycle? What do you think?
