Yeah, I'm just confused as to why they would offer the M.S. to someone who has the same degree in the same discipline?Damn. That seems ilke bad news for people who got the email :/

I just assumed it was an automatic email they sent to WL applicants. But yeah now that you mention it, idk. It's so hard to try and find sources of optimismYeah, I'm just confused as to why they would offer the M.S. to someone who has the same degree in the same discipline?
would you consider yourself more or less competitive than your friendI just found out from a friend who is also on the waitlist who didn't get the e-mail. Maybe the waitlist movement has begun lol
I got the email and I consider myself a less competitive applicant on the WL. We all seem to be hanging on a thread of hope. Good luck!If it helps, I didn’t get the email and I’d consider myself a less competitive applicant on the WL
He has a higher overall MCAT score, however I have a higher GPA than he does. Regarding extracurriculars, I have more clinical, shadowing, and healthcare experience. I honestly cannot say why they only sent the e-mail out to certain people. Maybe it is random or maybe they selected students with poor MCAT scores or low GPAs.would you consider yourself more or less competitive than your friend
True. Only time will tell.I have a low gpa, but 510 mcat and I got the email. Honestly nobody knows I guess we will see how things play out.
I wanted to chime in and share that I was pulled off the WL in April with a super low MCAT - which leads me to believe I was accepted to fill the spot of someone who had withdrawn with a similar background.. I hope that gives some of you/those in a similar boat hopeI have a low gpa, but 510 mcat and I got the email. Honestly nobody knows I guess we will see how things play out.
I’m guessing you have a decent gpa and good EC’s. I’ve noticed a lot of DO schools weigh GPA heavier than MCAT and background/EC helps a lot.I wanted to chime in and share that I was pulled off the WL in April with a super low MCAT - which leads me to believe I was accepted to fill the spot of someone who had withdrawn with a similar background..

I've done a Master's in BMS at Barry University.I'm actually considering applying for the MS. Has anyone here done it (or done a BMS in a general)? I'd like to talk about it if you have the time
I'm incredibly biased when I say the following. But we have graduated many who matched into surgery in the past 2 years and I'm expecting the same for the upcoming applicants.I was wondering what usmle/complex scores looked like. All I can find are combined with NY site. Also I'm trying to decide between ARCOM and NYIT and I can't really get a feel for resources for each. What I mean is I'm wanting to be a trauma surgeon so connections and residency matching is a huge concern for me. Any thoughts?
I have worked with some of the MS program students. since they are still in their first-class graduating I don't know the whole story behind it nor do I know the number of students in it. From the EXTREMELY limited knowledge I have on it, it seems you need an 80% or higher to have a guaranteed acceptance into the DO program, which is not easy by any means. From what I heard, it's the same lectures that you get in your first year of medical school minus some. that's all I can say on it, I don't know the other details.Got the same email. Does anybody know how many who do the MS matriculate into their DO program? Also anybody's experiences with the MS is also appreciated.
OMS3 here at JB. 70% and above on all your test combined in passing for the semester, this might be different with the new curriculum they are implementing in the fall. It is true pass-fail, 70 is passing, and below is failing. yes, there are internal ranking, but it only goes on your residency application if it benefits you. if you are in last place but you passed, there is no sense in putting in your rankings. and no it will not affect mine or anyone residency placing. Many med schools are pass-fail, and NYIT has been around for a while and has had no issue with it, if they did they would've changed it.Any current med students on here? What is the pass percentage for this school, 70%? And is it true pass fail? Are there any internal rankings? Do you think being pass/ fail will effect your residency placement?
+1!! Hoping that all of you on the WL hear good news soonIt was such a difficult decision, but I withdrew my A today. I hope it goes out to one of you! The support system at NYITCOM Jonesboro is great
It’s always OK to be concerned about anythingIs it okay to be concerned that WL movement has been real quiet?
Did you get the MS program email?+1!! Hoping that all of you on the WL hear good news soon
I did notDid anyone receive an email about staying on the WL? Just saw the OW thread and it looks like they sent out an email to those on the WL there.
Nope! Doesn't each campus have their own admissions committee?Did anyone receive an email about staying on the WL? Just saw the OW thread and it looks like they sent out an email to those on the WL there.
Yeah...just wondering if one was sent for JB. I didn't get one either.Nope! Doesn't each campus have their own admissions committee?
Im excited to hear that you liked the program! You usually hear iffy things about SMPs, glad to know NYITCOM is trying to make it a good program. So far I've heard mostly good things across the board. you will ace and fly through 1st year with no problem, the hardest part will be balancing the busy schedule! Will we be seeing you for OMS-1 here!?Inaugural BMS graduate here from the NYITCOM AR campus. This program is unlike any other SMP you will encounter. It is absolutely worth it. Couple reasons why I say this...
1. The Foundations of Science course is giving you lectures directly from the medical school Foundations course. You are studying and being tested on the same material that OMS I & OMS II students are currently studying and being tested on.
2. Med students get ~ 12-16 of these lectures/week. The BMS students get ~8-12 of these lectures/week. You are tested weekly (a pain in the beginning but very worth it as the weekly quizzes prepare you for the major comprehensive exams).
3. This program (if you succeed) will put you lightyears ahead of the incoming OMS I students who did not complete this program. Sure because you have already seen the material and the professors you have in the BMS program will be the exact same as the first 2 years of med school (yes, even from the NY campus) but MOSTLY because you will have already learned what study techniques work for you with this major change from undergrad (or any other grad program) to medical school.
Essentially, this program is going to take your soul and if you survive and pass with the necessary threshold, then you can make it in med school anywhere in the country.
Couple things to note:
-You shouldn't work full time while in this program (if you're superman/woman then good for you, but don't make the mistake of thinking this is like any other online graduate program- you will be sorely mistaken)
-The financial aid is through the Grad program, not DO program so be ready to make necessary arrangements as the amount you can borrow is limited compared to med school. As a non-traditional student, this was something I wish I knew ahead of time but I made it work.
-The faculty in this program care tremendously about your success and are personally invested in it- don't take that for granted.
-Be ready for the invaluable friendships you will make with people you've never met in person. You will 100% be "trauma-bonded".
I am not on here much but if you have more questions- you're better off DM'ing me
Hope this info helps those of you wondering if this is just another basic af program.
When Dr. Owens hosted a virtual open house at my school, they said first-year enrollment is 115 students at JB and 295 at OW.I was on the main campus forum and saw that there was some recent WL movement, but no movement here. Hopefully, we hear some good news next week! Does anyone know what the typical class size number is?
NYITCOM is definitely trying to make a very unique SMP! Thanks for the advice! I will be joining you all this fall I got the acceptance the day of graduation so that was AWESOME! I will be moving down in the beginning of July. Maybe we will get to meet, I will need all the advice anyone ahead of me can give!Im excited to hear that you liked the program!

Nope, but I am curious to know if you have a recent acceptance?Does anyone know what the fall curriculum will look like for first years?
Nope, still on the waitlist patiently waiting while trying to remain optimistic.Nope, but I am curious to know if you have a recent acceptance?
Fall curriculum might be different for you all because they are trying to transition to a heavier emphasis on problem-based learning. but from what I see and hear. It should be asynchronous lectures recorded released weekly in basic sciences for the first semester with anatomy, OMM, DPR weekly. Then starting in the spring you will start with the infamously tough neuro block and start your systems-based learning.Does anyone know what the fall curriculum will look like for first years?

I don't know if you all were at the event today for 1st years to get the first look, but I believe some professors answered this question.
The curriculum at NYITCOM is systems based, you will receive histology throughout the 2 years you are learning the different systems. I believe in anatomy you will have to know some histology and learn some histology along the way but there isn't just a "histology" class per se. You get tons of histology when you start doing pathology lectures in the spring.Thank you. So first semester is only anatomy? Is their any histology?

You all will learn the basic sciences in the first semester: intro to anatomy, pathology, biochemistry, doctor-patient relationship, OMM and other basic classes. then in your second semester, you will start with neuro and go into, Psych, MSK, Heme onc.Thank you. If you don't mind me asking, what subjects/systems are taught in the first semester of the 1st year? I plan on attending NYITCOM.
