oh okay that makes sense..Thank You!
I've been accepted to the post bac program and will be commuting to Harrogate from just south of Knoxville. Chances are that I am going to have to spend a couple of nights a week in Harrogate. Does anyone have suggestions on some cheap housing for those nights I may need to stay or if anyone is looking for an extra roommate I'm good with that too. Also, to answer the questions as to why LMUs post bacc as opposed to say..PCOM... For me, I was accepted to several programs. I was waitlisted at DCOM and LMU is the only program from what I could find that offered the opportunity for the DCOM classes that you take during your post bac to transfer into DCOM if accepted. Am I correct on this?? I know that PCOM does not.
I am going to be applying to osteopathic schools and post bacc programs this fall. I have been reading all of the posts and think LMU DCOM post bacc would be a great fit for me. How difficult is it to get accepted? And how can I make myself a more competitive applicant?
Also if I have never taken an anatomy course and really want to do well in the MGA course how would you recommend preparing before hand?
YES!!! I am glad that it is a masters now. Wonder if it is gonna be tougher to do well now considering it is a masters and not a post bacc....
I'll be driving down on the 26th, same day that I'm retaking taking my MCAT, ugggg! Looking forward to meeting all you guys and to hopefully, soon be naturally rewording sentences like this to include y'all (but really). Quick questions, are the classes that we may be assigned (besides anatomy and histology) going to be different than what was previously stated due to the masters? Also what kind of academic background did individuals have that landed them in medical Spanish? (really don't want to have to take any kind of Spanish, it's my academic kryptonite) I took two years outside my university at a local community college it fulfill my requirement b/c I was so scared it would destroy my GPA.

For those of you who are taking the MCAT on 25th or 26th... are you just retaking because you felt you needed a higher score or because the admissions committee or someone told you that you needed to..? I thought I read somewhere that if they feel you need to retake, they will let you know...but I haven't been told anything about that. Should I be worried? I'll be driving down from Michigan sometime that weekend as well. I was going to move in my stuff beforehand but I haven't received a housing assignment yet. (Calling Mr. Bowling tomorrow)
I also thought I was the only one retaking it!!!!
So I was already registered to take the mcat this month before I had gotten into the lmu program/decided I wanted to go there...I was retaking it so I could be more competitive for schools near my hometown/the midwest... I did tell Holly, but no one specifically told me to retake it. I almost dont want to take it anymore...lol
Taking the exam in Knoxville was a good idea...I have to pack/take the exam/and leave all in a matter of a day or so!!

I think we will be just fine though. We can all form a support system and come out of this with a masters!
Btw how many Floridians do we have in the class? I am looking forward to some snow.
I totally agree with you guys... FLORIDIAN HERE!!! I am excited!!! What are you guys doing to prepare? have you bought any books or supplies or anything yet? I've been procrastinating and taking it easy lately.
Im just taking it to see if i do better. Don't be worried. Can you tell us what Turner Bowling says?
Holly called me before i was accepted and asked me some questions. One of them was "are you planning on retaking the mcat?" and I was b/c i know i can do much better, so i told her that. If I responded that I wasn't planning on retaking it, I'm guessing she would recommended that I do so at that time.
Hi guys, I recently got accepted into the program as well and I am coming all the way from Texas. I am actually thinking of staying off campus. Please where is everybody staying?.. Any recommendations?.. I am a little worried..
I checked the LMU student account online and it shows my financial aid award. They provided stafford and grad plus loans. Just thought you guys might want to know....
Mine actually has this : BIOPF.MS MS in Biomedical Professions
Maybe you got into the DO program lol??
I can't wait to get my schedule and see what classes I actually have...
How did you access your student account? Is it LMU Pathway? If so, how did you get a username+pswd?I checked the LMU student account online and it shows my financial aid award. They provided stafford and grad plus loans. Just thought you guys might want to know....
Thanks, I think the pmsp students had to get private loans to cover tuition, it seems like we have to option of getting alot more non private loans to cover cost of living too if we want. Anyone else notice that doctor of osteopathic medicine is listed as an active program under program evaluation?
mine has the same thing under program evaluation, i think that just means you've applied for the program and that it's in their system.
Yea I figured it was something like that. You waitlisted as well?
Anyone else get their schedule?
Hi everybody,
I'm interested in applying to this program for next year, does anyone know the date the application opens up? I couldn't find anything on the website except for the deadline (may 1st)
