USF IMS 2017-2018

[NoleFamDoc]

Wanted to start a place for people who applied to the IMS program starting 2017. Finished my secondary yesterday.

I spoke with the program director, and he basically said there is no time table for anything. It makes sense, considering they would want to keep seats open for wait-listed applicants that need a gap year. But it's hard since I have my application already; it's just a waiting game at this point.

 

[NoleFamDoc]

I heard today that they would start review applications at the end of February.

 

[NoleFamDoc]

Yeah, I'm not applying anymore since I couldn't find any serious stats on their success rate (percentage of people that go to med school within 2 years of the program) and I find their application requirements to be very unnecessary and tedious. We have to mail everything all at once, lol. It's just not worth it, tbh.

While understandable about the lack of advertised success rates, the application procedure you're mentioning is actually for the normal MSMS program. I basically released my AMCAS to the program coordinator and was done with my application in a few minutes.

That being said, it's a fair reason to look elsewhere.

Received an email saying my application has cleared initial review and is moving on to be reviewed by the entire IMS team.

Good Luck! I applied months ago and haven't heard anything yet

Heard back yesterday that I received conditional acceptance to the program.

There was no interview, and traditionally the class size is 15-20 based on previous threads.

 

[Patiently_Waiting_PreMed]

That's what I thought.... but normally there is an interview

So I was wondering why they didn't do them this cycle

Hey I was offered conditional acceptance also from Kevin last week, do you know the details and timeline of the program ?

Hey can you provide me the contact information of the program coordinator. I recently applied and wanted to submit my AMCAS to them as you did.

 

[Patiently_Waiting_PreMed]

I think you have to submit it on the secondary

I emailed [email protected]. See this website for program leaders: Student Diversity and Enrichment (OSDE) | USF Health

Does anybody know an e-mail address where I could ask if I could send my committee letter packet instead of the 2 required science rec letters? I graduated in 2013, so it's been a while since I took a science course.

Also, how come the IMS isn't available to start in Summer 2017? The website said to specifically pick Summer 2017 as the start of the program? Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) | USF Health

Thank you, he got back to me immediately.

The program begins mid-June.

Does anyone know how successful this program is at getting students admitted to their desired graduate program? I got accepted last week but am still on the wait list for med schools

When does the program fill up their class and stop accepting applications? I was sent a link to the secondary recently. I had a question about parts of the application but I am not getting an e-mail response from Kevin Casey.

I'd just call him.
