Hi guys! I’ll be an MS1 this August and, since this process is still fresh to me, I thought I’d also make myself available for questions.
EDP acceptance is hella high. If you’d be happy at IUSM and you have the MCAT score, apply EDP. EDP also gives you the benefit of choosing your campus as opposed to being placed somewhere by a “random” lottery system. This is especially beneficial now that IUSM is doing Scholarly Concentrations, for which availability differs from campus to campus. So, for example, if you wanna learn more about Genetics in Medicine, it’s beneficial to be at the Indy campus. If you’re into Law, Equality, and Justice, then South Bend may be better for you. Business in Medicine is offered at Indy and Bloomington. You get the point. But also you’re not required to have a Scholarly Concentration
If you’re not accepted from EDP, your app goes to the regular decision pool. I remember someone saying last year that chances of acceptance from this position are still high. However, this puts you pretty far behind for every other school
Correct. Once you get an interview invite, you’ll get access to a portal where they’ll ask for letters.
