I go to UF and I took medical bioethics online so that may be worth looking into.
There's no reason it should not apply. Do not let them bs you into taking undergrad ethics.

I guess I didn't fight hard enough. That's why you're darealmvpnc. Did any current MS students get "the call" yet? How am I gonna enjoy the Super Bowl like this?There's no reason it should not apply. Do not let them bs you into taking undergrad ethics.
I was supposed to have a phone interview today at 230pm; however, I just saw that classes are cancelled after 1pm and offices started closing at 12pm. I'm assuming this means no call? In that case do they just call the next time school is open?
I am accepted too but provisionally waiting for my background check to be completed.It is supposed to start in late July, around the last week if nothing has changed since last year. Also, I received an e-mail from Holly saying that acceptance packages will be heading our way very soon.
Does anyone else know if they were accepted yet? I'm excited to meet some fellow classmates.
I am supposed to have my phone interview tomorrow...nervous! Does anyone have any pointers?
Had my interview yesterday. I was nervous, they ask my more like 10-12 questions but from this thread that seems unusual. They seemed satisfied with my answers even though I felt like I wasn't prepared once they started asking questions. Guess it went well found out this morning I'm provisionally accepted!!!! Yay for plan B!
Not to be stupid but what does pmsp stand for. Might help in my search for info. ThanksSo i had my interview yesterday i think it went well. I was informed that i am being considered for the ms bp program but in the event i was rejected they will offer me a spot in the undergrad pmsp. I've looked everywhere for info on this program and havent found anything. Does anyone have info on this pmsp program? Anyone that has completed it? How does it work and is there any guarantees with that program?
The people point of a public forum is for it to be public...
Definitely not a troll if I'm giving facts and stating when I'm giving opinion...
I'm not a disgruntled student. Ive said in all my posts I'm grateful for this opportunity and it has led to many successes in this school and others. I've been accepted to medical school (I won't say where) and it is definitely because of this program. New students should know everything Current students know. No admin at any school is going to tell you everything.
You won't probably won't regret being here if you work hard, I know I don't regret it
Anyway, I'm not gonna make this a hostile thread about this or that and, because that sucks and I am a positive person. Remember this is a big decision and its usually a leap of faith, it was for me. That lead Paid off big. If you feel confident about your decision, stick to it. If you're on the fence get all the info you can and make an educated decision. Its annoyingly hard to get into med school, do whatever you need to make yourself the applicant schools want! DCOM loves students who are normal and pleasant to be around, bring your positive attitude to this community
No no it wasn't aimed at you, didn't want others to feel like there's a problemI was not in any way trying to make this a hostile thread, so I am sorry if you feel that I was. Like you, I really appreciate all this program and the people running this program have done for me. I like to do my absolute best to try to promote the opportunities it has and shed them onto prospective students. Best of luck medical school and fingers crossed for you for DCOM!
Yes that's why the edit button is there. Edited my posts since its clear what I had mentioned in my first post "some will clearly disagree" is becoming a real issue. Don't want to derail the thread or give a bad vibeThis is not the place for anyone to air their grievances with this program or school. Glad to see some folks supporting this program but if you think for one second that administration does not watch stuff like this you're wrong. Oh and we can all see that you edited your posts today after being held accountable...doesn't work that way in the real world buddy.
False, I don't know anyone who interviewed at a regular time with a 21/22 and 4.0 in the program who was accepted unless they were an abnormal applicant with significant scientific/business/etc. experience, publications etc. What "darealmvpnc" was saying is a fair observation in my opinion. It seems the MCAT was the gold standard for this years incoming class. 24 seemed to be the number to get an immediate acceptance, with the expectation that you performed well in the masters class.Here is my perspective..
Well.... first of all, I'm going to say be very cautious what you say on a public network/forum. The Admin from the school does look at this page.
However, I am going to piggy back on this and say a lot of this is not true. DCOM definitely looks at a whole applicant while choosing students to attend their medical school, or I would not be in the amazing position I am in today.
There was definitely a range of students who got accepted right away this year. Those with low MCATs(21/22) but did great in the MS program(4.0), those with average MCAT's(24/25) and did average in the MS program(3.5 )and those with low MCATs(21/22) and did okay in the MS Program(3.2). You just have to prove you have what it takes. Volunteer, talk with professors, get your name out there! Don't say mean things to professors, or Holly or anyone else who helps you get through masters program. It is a small town and people do talk and see everything you do. Be cautious about what you post on social media. Find an old Masters student and let them help you in MGA. Be kind to everyone. Do well in your interview. They have a file for everyone and everything you do can go in there. Do not give them a reason to not accept you! Even those students on the waitlist have an amazing chance! You just have to be persistent!!
If any of you have any questions, feel free to message me! I was recently accepted and truly cannot say how much opportunity and amazing experiences this program has given me. Don't let trolls ruin your hope of being an amazing student, Master's student and Medical Student.
-Cheers!
Accepted!!! yayy me. Now its time to get ready for the real work.

For a little more information on the background checks, those take 7 to 10 business days to process after students submit their information via the website. That's the timeline set forth by the company (this is the same company that DCOM uses by the way). From our end, Jennifer can see if you are in the process of completing the background check. We watch check those statuses multiple times each day in hopes of expediting the process for you.
Also, several acceptance packets were mailed out last week, so they are on the way to some of you. Also, although I am still in AZ, I have been notified of a few other acceptances as of late this afternoon. I have contacted a couple of students informally via email and will be contacting a couple more tomorrow. If you are notified by me via email, your hard copy documentation will be sent to you early next week.
