For those applying to the MBS, let me know of any updates you have received regarding interview invites! Early review began last week!

 

[doctorbn417]

Does anyone know what the interview for the MBS program entails? I'm applying for it but I'm not sure what I should prepare for the interview If I get an invite

 

[dude123]

It’s traditional. Prepare for questions where u should talk about yourself and your journey

Yes please

 

[MasterOogway]

No MBS news yet.

 

[mayhaps]

SDN only allows me to add 10 people to a DM, so I made a thread dedicated to the MBS program. Heres the Link: 2024-2025 WMed MBS

 

[DocMazard]

No MBS news yet.

Same. I applied for early review but I am assuming we probably wont hear back until middle of this month

 

[sunflower_phoenix]

Does anyone know if the Choose Your Medical School Tool's Plan to Enroll MUST be selected by April 30?

I'm looking at the WMed Traffic rules, and it provides a date range of April 30-June 6, 2025 for when you MUST select PTE. Does that mean PTE must be selected by April 30 or no later than 6/6?

CTE is 6/7. Thanks in advance!

read that link more closely.
If you want to keep your WMed seat they want you to select PTE by April 15th.
to stay on other WLs don't change that to CTE until June 6

[docrunner741]

I was hoping today 😫

 

[BeeEater]

Just got an email about how the class is full.

 

[DoneDone3451]

Just got an email about how the class is full.

Wow really, that blows 🙁

 

[ocpremed58]

was this the case last year too? i am really hoping movement starts soon

 

[redbeansu]

Just got an email about how the class is full.

they did mention though that they do expect movement through May and June, so I still have some hope :'). Med schools over accept, and there will likely still be some people who choose to decline but haven't done so yet.

 

[dylanmayoral]

yeah this school is totally done at this point. the waitlist isnt going to move at all

 

[ocpremed58]

what lol why? it’s only may 9 they had a lot of movement last year

 

[dylanmayoral]

what lol why? it’s only may 9 they had a lot of movement last year

they had movement from May 1 last year. I think there might be minor movement here and there but I wouldn't count on it

 

[MasterOogway]

Anyone know if they do post R applicant advising? Would love to go here and I’m doubting the MBS program will take me since I’m not URM

You don't have to be URM to do the MBS program I think

 

[MasterOogway]

You don't have to be URM to do the MBS program I think

I don’t think it’s a requirement but according to their website you are given preference.

 

[ocpremed58]

anyone know how many r in the accepted group chat? so crazy there has been no movement at all

 

[quietmoose550]

[ocpremed58]

oh wow so they definitely over admitted :/ probably not much movement then

 

[JIjibon]

OMG, Acceptance letter today. Was on waitlist months ago.
Honestly did not expect any A this late in the cycle, I was just about to start preparing for my AMCAS for next cycle

 

[ocpremed58]

[MsLeafpool]

just received an email saying they've received less movement this year compared to previous years, but the waitlist is still active and moving slowly
