I assume so as well. I have to take statistics for some odd reason. I may try to argue that one, because it's silly and not a pre-req for any other course! Probably during the spring semester of you have not taken some genetics course, they may try to make you take that!Are all deficiency courses supposed to be taken during the fall semester? I know I have to take biochem/ethics (who takes ethics during undergrad? -_- lol) but I just want to make sure those are the only deficiencies I have. Since none others are listed on my tentative schedule is it safe to assume I'm ok? I'm starting to stress out because I want to make sure I can finish the program by the end of the school year (and hopefully not have to do summer school).
Stats is a pre-req for LSCI 604 Graduate Life Science Research Design and Analysis.

Microbiology is not a pre-req according to the 2015-16 Catalog. Only a recommended for Life Science Teaching.
Move-in day for MS looks begins July 25th according to the catalog.
So if we were accepted to the MS program 2015-2016 with intent to attend DCOM, do we still have to send in an application through AACOMAS for the following year? If so, when would be ideal?
So I was looking under the OMS-I links on the DCOM page to see what we'll need for MGA...and under the required materials it lists things like scapels, forceps, etc. It says these aren't available at the bookstore...so where are we supposed to buy them? Do we need them right away? Cause if these need to be bought online I'm scared I won't have them in time (since class starts friday).
From what I've looked at on the Facebook page, it looks like clubs sell a lot of the stuff we need. They also have a link for discounted dissection kits on the Facebook page
If you were at orientation today, I believe Holly said as of right now, 92% of MS students have been accepted to DCOM 2019 with the waitlist is still moving.
hey guys, any insight as to what a decent mcat score is for the new exam? I'm in the Masters program, but wanted to know what a fair score is, given that we do well in our classes obviously...?
Thanks! You mean 490, not 470 lolthey said they're looking for an mcat around 500. That's the general score but they've taken people with scores from ~470
they also mentioned that if you do extremely well in your masters classes/mga they're more lenient/willing to accept a lower mcat score
Underwood -- are the Masters classes very similar to UG classes? Do the Masters Professors and advisors provide active assistance helping students apply for the DO school? Also, exactly how many Masters classes carry over to DO school and does it reduce the class load for 1st year DO students/
How do you apply for the Masters program. I recently applied to the Debusk Osteopathic Medical College, but I'm not sure how to apply to the masters program. Do you use the same account and just create a new application?
Hey guys,
I am trying to apply to LMU's post bacc program this year. I was wondering where I can apply since I can't find anything about post bacc on the school's website. Thank you.
The link is 2 posts up.
Yeah, it's different. Contact Holly. [email protected]sorry to be ignorant but is their post bacc program the master's program? The reason I ask is because I saw somewhere that says the master's program is different from the post bacc program (can't remember where from the top of my head sorry).
Yeah, it's different. Contact Holly. [email protected]
Will do. But just so I have something to go off of, if I want to do the program that links into their med school, which program should I be looking at? Thank you for the help.
I'm sorry, there's quite a few names thrown around in this thread and I'm not sure which is which.
That would be the Master's Program, and not the PSMP Program(Post Bacc). Just to help you get on the right track, here is a little information about each.
The PSMP Program is a non-degree program to get you into the Master's Program. You will take undergraduate courses, to improve your GPA. The Post Bacc also offers an MCAT prep course, if your MCAT wasn't stellar.
The MS Program, on the other hand, allows you take graduate level courses, some of them along side of DO students, and earn a masters degree. Some of the courses we take with DO students are Medical Gross Anatomy, Histology and Neuroanatomy. IF we maintain a 3.0 GPA, we are guaranteed an interview in the spring semester. Pending a DCOM acceptance, if you get a B in any of the DO courses, you will not have to take them again at DCOM!
I hope that helps! Let us know if you need any other assistance!
ApaDOsaurus,
Thank you so much for that post. I really needed that. I heard about LMU offering linkage but there were so many names thrown around in this thread I couldn't figure out which was which.
One more question (sorry), does it matter if we attend the anatomical sciences or biomedical professions master's program? Thanks again.
Hello everyone!
I have applied for the DO MS bridge program and I am having a phone interview tomorrow. I appreciate if anyone could share their experience about how the telephone interview is and what kind of questions they will ask and how I need to be prepared for it?
All the best

Congrats on your 1st post on SDN lol...Just logging in to say that I also didn't get a call. Glad to know I wasn't the only one!
Thanks! I am not applying at the moment, but I'm gearing up for the upcoming cycle. After a lot of thinking, I knew it would be best to go through a post-bacc before even trying. I've been watching this thread like a hawk, haha.Congrats on your 1st post on SDN lol...
Are you applying to medical schools as well?
Nice, what are your stats?Thanks! I am not applying at the moment, but I'm gearing up for the upcoming cycle. After a lot of thinking, I knew it would be best to go through a post-bacc before even trying. I've been watching this thread like a hawk, haha.
