Hey all! I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Masters in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology or
Physiology (regular MS or SMP) programs? I'm just looking for some insight into these programs and which would be best for me to improve my application as well as prepare me better for medical school. Also if you know anyone in these programs please do help me get into contact with them, I'm looking for info about class size, linkage etc. Thanks y'all!

Just got the email about the Stewart scholarship. Definitely applying!
It says deadline is March 3rd...but it says matriculating student?
Does anyone know if you can apply if you aren't sure yet?

Whelp waitlisted here AGAIN 🙁
Sorry to hear that. At least we have acceptances this year - congrats btw! 😉
Yeah, seriously haha. No more stressful half-year waiting period 😛 Congrats to you too!!
Stewart scholarship? did that go to your personal email?
What do you mean personal email? Yes it was emailed to me on the account associated with my application. Gives you a link to a doc file to submit via Box or something.
To answer my earlier question the verbiage says if you are offered the scholarship, accepting it is the same as accepting the school and you will drop other acceptances at other schools. It's full tuition and fees all four years.
I'm guessing so people who don't plan to attend can't hold onto the offer, and it can be offered to someone else and cemented.

In the info, did it say that you could apply as a 1st year or is it just an incoming student scholarship? I'm still waiting to hear on the admissions decision, so I assume I wouldn't be able to apply in time even if I got accepted.
It says "first year, matriculating student" in criteria, so Im guessing it is only incoming so it can be used for recruitment purposes.

Did they happen to mention how many spots are left in the class/what waitlist movement is typically like?

For sending in additional letters of recommendation this late, are they still submitted via AMCAS?
They usually make the fb page and you don't need a car for first or second year!
Accepted! Interviewed early Jan.
Has anyone who was waitlisted been accepted yet?
Hi, I am in the SMP now. Feel free to message me with any questions!
When did this happen?
amcas only. they won't accept any thru email :/
Let us know if you volunteer as tribute to find out!
Thanks 🙂
According to last year's thread, the first documented movement from the waitlist occurred on March 14th. Keep your chins up fellow listers. This battle is far from over
Haha it's looking like I'm gonna have to. Will keep you updated!

It's P/F both years. Don't recall the specifics of ranking. Maybe someone else can answer.

According to MSAR students are ranked to be included in dean's letter
I haven't heard back yet either, but I interviewed Jan 30th.
Just got the accepeptance call!
Accepted off the waitlist by email! This is my first acceptance! So excited
@BuzzKillington and @drglass may I ask how many updates/LOIs you two sent in?

Anyone with access to MSAR know how many people get in here off the waitlist?
It doesn't say unfortunately. Maybe we can find it in older threads or someone can volunteer as tribute to call. I probably will next week assuming I hear nothing back
Update: I tried to Google it and looked on here and didn't find much. I'm assuming since they accept 350 for 200 slots that it can't move that much, but I've been wrong before.

I sent in one every month since I was waitlisted, so 4 total.

Dang they made you work for that. What type of updates did you send?
Do you mind sharing your stats and the exact date you were waitlisted? I was waitlisted October 31st. I'm hoping to be up next! I have also sent in 3 LOI and a letter of rec
I don't know any exact numbers but I would think it depends on the person's stats. If the person's stats are close to the average number of accepted applicants they are most likely to get off waitlist when those applicants whom have stats above average. Sorry this isn't hard factual info but I would say gauge your own stats vs the available info of average stats of previous matriculated class to see how likely for you it is to get off the waiting list.
But the hard thing is it depends on who declines. If the above average students don't decline then obviously less waitlisters get off. My advice would be pray and relax. You did the hard part of applying etc!

Per my interview way back when, they accept ~350 for 200 seats, reject about 200 and the rest are waitlist. Since they interview about 1000 people the WL is about 450-500 people. At this point, though, a lot have probably withdrawn their applications because of other acceptances.
