Hey I got that email too. I'm fairly certain its a new program, between the language of the email and never having heard of it before, at least in my corner of the woods.

Just looked it up out of curiosity, and if that guaranteed acceptance is legit, it's a steal! Tuition is only like 8k

Ooh, I didn't get that email. Wonder if that means anything...

I didn’t either but I haven’t gotten any spam emails from any schools about their masters programs either. I’m pretty sure you only get them if you don’t click a button when you submit AMCAS or something

That's the thing, I've been getting a crapton of those! Like "Check out our doctoral certificate in legal podiatry! Only costs $200,000!" and all that nonsense, lol

It didn't read like a spam email, at least to me. The email mentioned it was by invitation, 16 seats open. I don't know how true it is, but apparently theres a URM bias but I wouldn't consider myself URM at most schools/regions (Vietnamese background)

I guess I meant not spam in the traditional sense but spam in the sense of information not pertaining to my med school application (aka Podiatry/SMP advertisements)

It definitely sounds like a real thing to me. NEOMED does stuff like this anyways lol
 
Though now I am curious why I didn’t get an email. Is it because I’m ORM? Hmm.. Who knows!

Yea I got sent it because it said I am URM, which is true. But has anyone ever done this program? Or is new this year?
 
Does this email mention of the application is directly taking information from your am as application or is it having to refill all the infor again and writing a ps again and getting a recommendation letter again?

Not its like an alternative
 
Update email just received. Interesting that they state they’ve accepted students off of their alt list already considering that has not been reflected here. Here’s to hoping that’s one of us soon!

It's gotta be 100 total acceptances, from both decision dates and the early parts of the alternate list. 100 purely off the WL this early seems WILD
Click to expand...

I agree lmao I read that first and was like no way...and not even a single communication on SDN? Granted, I know not everyone uses this forum but 100 seems like a lot
 
Duck this email gave me a heart attack. I was thought that they pulled hundred from wl and so I don't stand a chance this cycle.... Cuz clearly they picked from mom and population but I mean it's unlikely that they could do that without a single one coming to let us know that they started. Unless of course they asked the candidates to keep the lid shut....idk anything amymore

Asking candidates to stay quiet about being accepted? That's..... unheard of.

Well I mean if I want to be frank, its like 6 of us posting here... so I wouldn't be surprised if they have pulled 100s out of the WL without SDN being notified.

But still even if I was not posting on sdn, I would still come up here and at least let people know that they'd started moving the big ol WL

I guess yeah. You are probably right.

Case has done it all cycle lol. Wouldn’t surprise me tbh

After they decided not to release the waitlist ranking, I will not be surprised at all... that was the biggest rug pull of all time...
 
So MSAR data states that ~400 people are on the WL and 161 receive acceptance offers. Does anyone know how accurate this data is lmao (sorry if this has already been asked!)

Me🤝Giving unintended motivation 😂😁
Kidding aside, wish u all the best !
 
They did, I do remember someone with 299 getting that A, but the reason they got their 160 number in the wl is because of condensing the wl in March by a survey. That way someone who was number 160 went to maybe number 110 think...

Let me clarify just cuz it seemed to worded in a misleading way. The 299 who got the A was not in line meaning they jumped from I think 74 in the wl to them and others and then back to usual wl line. The applicant were pretty surprised to put it mildly about the wl line not being followed, which I think is the reason for their decision this cycle.

This program is actually been out for quite a while now, but they just started last year or two ago about the guaranteed acceptance into the college of medicine. These emails are only sent to URMs who are on the alternative list of the current application cycle. Those students are called MAS and they take classes with us for the whole year that has anything to do with anatomy. I heard you have to do well (minimum B) in order to get the seat for next year. Let me know if you have more questions about it!

What about those who didn't get the email, can they get a guaranteed seat as well or is it only for urms?

I believe those individuals who received the email are all URM and this specific program only takes URM for the guaranteed seat.
