I had planned on applying to this last fall but plan fell apart due to some personal stuff. Now I will be applying for the Fall 2012 term. Anyone else ?
If you took the GRE that is fine for admission. I think you may need to take the MCAT during the program though. Here is what I took from the website for admissions:
If your ultimate goal is admission to a MD/DO program, then either a GRE or MCAT will suffice
Yeah I recall seeing that, but for admission competitiveness factor, will it make a difference?
Can I ask how getting an MS/MS works in terms of helping with med school? since it's a masters, will that count on the AMCAS towards cumulative GPA at all? Or do you matriculate directly into their med school program?
does anyone know if there's a character/word limit for the personal statement? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
And for the resume did you guys list your extra cirriculars too or just employment/schools attended?
i called admissions and they said that the character limit is 35,000!
It is one page limit.
What are you're guys plans for the resume? I'm not sure if I should do a formal resume or just list my EC's. If you do a formal one do you still list things like medical conferences attended or one day volenteer events?
I thought it said to just list employment and schools attended, where did you read to add ecs to it, as well? I figured since they want a copy of our aacomas they would have all the ecs listed?
Yea that makes sense if you submitted your AACOMAS but what if you are not a re-applicant? You are right it only ask for work and schools attended, but it does say the AACOMAS is optional.
For the resume, I see a text box and the directions say "Please copy your resume information into this space."
Where are you seeing that it only asks for work and schools attending and AACOMAS is optional?
It is on the application checklist. From this page http://prospective.westernu.edu/medical-sciences/apply
When did you guys submit your applications?
You have to complete the worksheet on a separate document and then email it to them.
