Hi everyone, I didnt see a thread for the program this year and I was just accepted so I wanted to make this thread and see if anyone else here is accepted.
My app was completed on the 24th! How long after did you hear back from them?
Alright! Finally submitted!
I didn't know that we were able to submit the application pending LOR's and transcripts and what not and I had pretty much completed the application save for 1 more LOR since Feb.
Anyways, this program is one of my top choices due to the positive reviews and success of the program. Not to mention I have a bunch of family in the 'burbs and friends who go to UIC. Here's to hoping I get in!
Also, anyone know if we are able to, or if there is any down time to volunteer, conduct research, etc? Would really like to expand my clinical experiences and opportunities while in these types of programs.
I submitted my application around a week ago and my PS last Friday. They say there is no required word/character limit, but I'd keep it to around AMCAS required characters. I personally made it ~5000 WITH spaces, and that came out to ~5400 w/o spaces. I pretty much wrote my personal statement like I did my AMCAS (because it's pretty much gonna be the same structure-wise) except I added the last 2 paragraphs talking about how the program will benefit me in my goals. I also had that idea reflected throughout my essay.Hey guys! about to put in my application ASAP. Any advice about personal statements etc. that can help? TIA!
Does anyone know what they are doing for housing?
How long does it usually take to get a decision? Do they e-mail or snail mail?
Anyone know what the cohort size is for this program? I hope they're still accepting...
55 students, unsure how many acceptances have been given out/have yet to be given.
My admission status was updated mid March that the class was full so I was wait listed. I'm not sure if it's actually full or I was just wait listed!
Welp, got rejected from MSMP, but got an e-mail stating that my MAMS application is currently under review after I e-mailed them expressing my intent to pursue the program should I be accepted.
Same thing happened to me, so keep your head up!
May I ask who you e-mailed, I also got rejected and would like to express my interest in the other program. Thanks!Welp, got rejected from MSMP, but got an e-mail stating that my MAMS application is currently under review after I e-mailed them expressing my intent to pursue the program should I be accepted.

I emailed the MAMS email with questions pertaining to the waitlist and I was told that they do not review the waitlist until the application period has ended. Then, they review the waitlist based on strength and admit in that order if seats are available.Any news on the waitlisted movement or how frequent is it that people are usually taken off the waitlist? Would like to email Dr. Dawn Franks showing that I'm still interested and would be willing to commit to the program, but I don't want to sound too desperate or annoying.

Anyone have any info on roughly how many or % of MAMS alumni who go on to US MD schools per year?
If you read the website about the program they already tell you. 95% accepted to med school within 3 years.
That list includes DO and Carribean schools as well though. I love how tight knit the program is, but this is the only really unclear thing that's stopping me from committing.
Can any alumni who have succesfully applied and gotten MD interviews comment? Have US MD schools been responsive to taking MAMS? I'm accepted to an older and arguably more recognized program as well, but I would prefer MAMS and just need some reassurance given it's not a true SMP.

congrats on getting accepted!! Join the group on Facebook - a few alumni are members, plus admitted students that know a lot about the program.I was accepted this morning! I am so relieved because I applied very late. I really need this program and I know it can help steer me in the right direction.
I am still waiting to hear back from other schools, but Loyola was my first choice.

Is there anyone who has recently finished the program that is willing to take questions? I couldn't really find anywhere on student doc that did this.
EDIT: Nevermind! I actually found a couple of people who answered questions in old forums so I may try to ask them privately.
