Yikes straight up forgot about me

I'd email [email protected] to see if there is any update, if you haven't already. But they have to let you know something by May 1st since they are using AAMC. I'm going through this same thing with a few more schools.

Congrats! When was your application complete by?

If you look at their faculty, they are chiropractors and podiatrist.

Good catch! Seems like they haven't updated the faculty page. Most of our classes are taught by PHDs and MDs. The chiropractors and podiatrist who teach us get the course material to teach from the MDs back on main campus. Our test averages have been at or higher than main campus' this year, so the quality of teaching has been good!

Did you communicate with Wendy?

 

[totilue]

Yeah, no updates on my app. Ghosted -> Rejection most likely.

Same here, a lot of people have been accepted/ waitlisted . Definitely not a good sign

Neither of these professors taught us M1s last year, except for the podiatrist taught 1 lecture on foot and ankle anatomy. We have only MDs and PhDs in M2.

Anyone who interviewed on 3/11 heard back anything yet?

 

[Bpham2564]

Hello,

Do you guys have a link or a list of people who have contact information for me to email? I'm trying to figure out how to get an update. Also has anyone who interviewed 3/18 gotten a reply back

 

[anaony24]

Hello,

Just found out I was accepted yesterday through choose your medical school tool via AMCAS! Interviewed 3/4/24, OOS, GPA 3.8, MCAT 506, and PREview 7.

Has anyone sent post II updates/LOI? Who do we send that to if so?

You can send them to Wendy at the St. Louis admissions email

LCME Update: We had our official LCME on-campus visit this week. It went smoothly and got back good feedback. According to our STUCO, the LCME committee was very understanding and looking out for the students here. Main campus has their official LCME review later this month.

I have a question about CTE here. I’m currently on the WL and ponce’s msar says applicants should choose CTE by 4/30. If I were to be accepted before then, would I have to remove myself from other waitlists after 4/30?

 

[Med4sci]

Does anyone know how many students have been accepted so far?

That’s a great question!

 

[Pinkscrubz]

Does anyone know how many students have been accepted so far?

I’m not exactly sure how many students have been accepted so far, but there are 27 people in the admitted student group chat. There is a current student included and a few who have interviewed and waiting to hear back.

So there are people who haven’t been accepted yet in it? I wasn’t sure if that was appropriate lol

The vast majority of the group is admitted students but there was one student who said they were still waiting for a response. You are always free to join if you’d like!! 🙂

Are these admitted students the same as those committed to enrollment? I ask because it sounds like no MSMS grads have been interviewed yet.

No one has voiced that they aren’t interested in attending so I’m not completely sure about committed enrollment. We had an admitted student meeting yesterday and there was a pretty decent turnout. I would also consider that many may still be on waitlist for other schools so there’s still a chance of spots being available!

 

[medmed1122]

Interviewed 3/11, what is the typical turnaround for hearing back?

 

[crunchwrap360]

Is there anyone who completed their secondary back in September that has not received an II yet?

 

[BrettMontana]

Yup but I’m a msms alumni

I'm waitlised at a few schools. No, if you "commit to enroll" it wilI automatically tell other schools that you have been already waitlisted at or accepted too. If you're admitted to PHSU before 4/30 you still don't need to do anything besides select "plan to enroll".

 

[doc22nontrad]

Are there any MSMS alum that have had interviews so far? Crazy to think that we are this far into spring and they haven't started interviewing them yet. Or does anybody know why they interview alum students at the last minute? Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far!

Not that I m aware. I always wonder why they wait so late to interview MSMS alum. Usually It was mid april before they started sending an interview invite to alumni

 

[wbadr.371]

Has Anyone that had a mid March interview heard anything back yet? 3/11 or 3/18?

 

[sushiloverpremed]

Does anyone have information about the alternate list here? Curious when the earliest date that someone can be accepted from it is

Just curious, did you receive a recent interview invite?

 

[doctorstl]

Can anyone give some guidance on how to prep for the MMI interview? I have never do this format before. Thank you!

scroll up three replies. I sent a guide

 

[doc22nontrad]

I did just get an interview invite this week. I am also an MSMS alum, so hopefully that means they’re starting to send more interview invites out to partner students.

[Med4sci]

I received an interview invite as well earlier this week for friday. Although i am confused. Are the pre steps ‘ the check in?’ Can we check in a day prior to the interview?

I had my secondary done last fall.. I graduated from the MS program in December. So I’ve just been waiting until now 😂

 

[doc22nontrad]

Definitely do it before tomorrow. I did mine last night and there was even a part where you can do practice questions using the platform they will you for the actual interview tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow!

 

[derek dixon]

@CurrentStudents Do you they teach the modules by organ system or is it all mixed together? @CookieMonsta

 

[Med4sci]

Congrats! When were you complete by?

Thanks! I applied early back in June or July and I completed the secondary as soon as I received it.
