Hi! (I posted this comment in another thread, but I'm starting a new one here to connect this year's MSMS 2026-2027 cohort.) I recently got accepted into the MSMS program with the optometry pathway linkage for this year's 2026-2027 cycle! My acceptance is a bit untraditional; I interviewed...

hi everyone! i recently applied to Western University's MSMS program and wanted to connect with others who are also applying. i know it's pretty early but any insight to their application timeline/program would be appreciated! i'm also applying to other schools but WesternU is my top choice...

Hello everyone! I'm applying this year to the MSMS program and would love to hear about anyone else applying! I personally have had no luck trying to find a physician to shadow so that's fun lol

Hey everyone! This is my first post so please go easy on me! I recently got accepted to the DMD program and WesternU and the DDS program at CU. I am a CA resident so do not qualify for in-state at CU unfortunately :confused: I was wondering where everyone thought was a better school to go to...

Hello, I have recently been accepted into the DPT program at Western University for the class of 2023. I have 2 weeks to pay my deposit, but wanted to have some time to think about it. I have heard mixed things - i.e. generous and knowledgeable faculty vs. not, nice curriculum vs. run down...

I have been trying to find a comparison of these two schools. I know Western has made some changes and have made massive improvements to the curriculum and board scores. AZCOM has had a dip in their board scores lately has a better location by far. Tuition is outrageous at AZCOM but living is...

Hi. Just got an interview offer. First one. Let’s support each other with information!

Hey everyone! Let me start this by saying that I currently live in Southern California. In the future, I hope to match in California (hopefully Southern but Northern would be amazing as well). Before submitting my application, I visited WesternU for Preview Day where they talked about the...

Hey guys! So I am a little confused on what I should do regarding dental school. So I applied this cycle and did not get any interview invites but got the Creighton Wait list opportunity. I did also apply to a few special masters programs as back up. I applied to WesternU MSMS, MSBS and...

Hi, I wanted to get some input from any dental students or alumni from these schools. The price difference will be around 50k with sf being the cheaper option. Right now, I am interested in pursuing general dentistry, but am open to specializing. My main concern is how clinically competent I...

Hi guys! I haven't seen a thread for the WesternU MSBS program for 2018-2019 so I thought I would start one! They just added this concentration to WesternU this year and I was wondering who else will be applying to this program!

So I have had the fortunate opportunity to be accepted to both programs. I live in California and my family currently lives here as well. I know that WesternU has a great reputation in California. As for NYMC, I have heard mixed reviews and cannot seem to find how well it is ranked. Am I going...

Hello! Im trying to decided between westernU and Tufts can anyone help. Im also waitlisted in Indiana University which is a lot cheaper WesternU Pros: No time wasted on WAXING The board exam stats are amazing semi block style curriculum from student panel is seems the curriculum is single...

Prompts 1. Have you participated in research? If yes, why was this research experience valuable to you? 2. Do you have teaching experience? If yes, why was this teaching experience valuable to you? 3. While shadowing a physician, what did the experience do to solidify your desire/ambition to...

First off hello everyone, And I hope everything is going great with you guys since you must be terribley preoccupied with dental school activities.I appreciate your time in advance. I was hoping you could give me an insight about WesternU's didactic curriculum and the grading policies e.g. How...

I have been accepted into these two programs and am left with an incredibly difficult decision! I know ultimately it's my decision to make, but I would love to hear from as many people who are willing to reach out as possible on their experiences and pros/cons with the programs and why you...

Hi Everyone, I know there was a similar post comparing these two schools, but I wanted to ask again since that post is a little outdated and I know things have changed at both schools over the years. How do you compare the rotations/residency matches? Academic support? Clubs and activities?

Hello! I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted to both ATSU SOMA and COMP-Northwest, both really good schools. I have seen other posts about these two schools, but some ended up getting off topic and didn't address some questions that I have. Please let me know your thoughts! I...

Accepted to both Comp-NW and RVU- Utah. Loved both campuses and felt like a good fit for both schools. Would probably choose RVU-utah if all were even due to family close by, cheaper, and being in my home state but would I be shooting myself in the foot when the match comes? Aiming for...

I've been accepted to both schools and have begun making a pros/cons list for each school, but I'm still a bit unsure on where my priorities currently lie for choosing a school. Perhaps any other students who are thinking about attending either of these schools can help me discover more...

I'm sure this won't get too much use once the facebook group gets made, but thought I'd start one for us SDNers in the meantime! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! Personally this is my top choice and I'm ecstatic and grateful to have the chance to follow my dreams. :highfive:

Hey everyone! Just starting this to connect people who have applied to Western U CVM this year. Applications were due quite a while ago, or so it seems like. Has anyone heard back yet? EDIT: There has already been a Western c/o 2020 forum started. It can be found here...
