Did you apply early?I have applied this cycle!
I applied end of March. Did you submit your application?Did you apply early?
Yeah I submitted February. When do you think we will hear back?I applied end of March. Did you submit your application?
I applied April 5th, last LOR was sent on 4/10.Anybody applying this cycle to California University of Science and Medicine MBS program?
Not sure I havent heard anything from them.Anyone know if there is a way to check the status of our application? like maybe a separate portal?
The only way to check status is by contacting admissions. They are very friendlyAnyone know if there is a way to check the status of our application? like maybe a separate portal?
I honestly don't know lolYeah I submitted February. When do you think we will hear back?
So far my understanding no.Anyone know if there is a way to check the status of our application? like maybe a separate portal?
I got an A too!!! Congrats!Hi all,I just got my A letter,I am so happy. Good luck everyone.
What made me stand out? I am not really sure. Honestly,I saw myself as disadvantaged because:Congrats guys! Would either of you guys be okay with sharing your stats? What do you think made you stand out as applicants?
Thank you and congratulations to you too.I got an A too!!! Congrats!
That's so awesome, do you mind if I message you with a few questions about the program?What made me stand out? I am not really sure. Honestly,I saw myself as disadvantaged because:
1)I have a foreign undergrad,cum gpa 3.16
2)MCAT score is 484 (I am retaking in July).Looking back now,I think it was a mistake writing that exam when i did because I wasn't as prepared as I would have loved to be. Well,I later found out they were not considering MCAT for admissions this cycle.
3) My undergrad is almost 14 years old.
However,I went back last year for post bacc and now my cum gpa is now at 3.79,science 3.56,non science 3.93.
I have over a decade of work experience as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist.I also run a nonprofit in Africa and have been involved with other types of volunteer work in Africa and in the US. I have participated in quite a number of fellowship programs in the US. I sing professionally also. That was partly how I paid for my studies as an undergrad. All these details I included in my application. I have no research or shadowing experience yet. I hope to work towards that this year.It's been a long journey for me. After all the rejections last year,I am happy to get at least one A. I am giving this my best shot and hoping crush the MCAT this time and matriculate into med school at the end of this program.
I hope you do get in too. Good luck.
My undergrad GPA is a 3.43 but on AMCAS it's a 3.61 overall and a 3.27 sGPA. My MCAT is only a 490 and I really did rush to take my exam last year but I am retaking it in May. I have 4.5 years of clinical experience in the emergency room working at 2 hospitals. I also had a health educator internship. I guess what makes me stand out is my dedication to serving disadvantaged communities and my drive to educate.Congrats guys! Would either of you guys be okay with sharing your stats? What do you think made you stand out as applicants?
No problem at all. I do not mind.That's so awesome, do you mind if I message you with a few questions about the program?
Thank you. I submitted my application on the 4th of March.For the people that got accepted, congratulations! I was wondering when did you apply? I applied back in February.
Congratulations on your admission! Did you perhaps receive any confirmation when you submitted all your documentation?Thank you. I submitted my application on the 4th of March.

Thank you for your wishes! Hope to soon call each other colleagues!Yes,do that. Good luck.
I had a pleasure speaking yesterday too! They are very thorough and helpful.Spoke with MBS coordinator today, very helpful in providing information whether application is complete and/or in the review process. Hoping to hear back soon!
I had to call to confirm that. I suggest you call.I haven’t gotten an email regarding whether they have received a confirmation letter regarding if they have received all my required documents should I be worried? But I did call to make sure last time.
I would email them, I received confirmation the day I submitted. However, I emailed them about 6 days later to confirm that they received my transcripts and they got back to me the same day (as long as you email them within business hours).I haven’t gotten an email regarding whether they have received a confirmation letter regarding if they have received all my required documents should I be worried?

Super stoked! i'm waitlisted for med school at one school at the moment too.
I submitted my application on 3/22 pending one LOR, the last LOR was received 4/10!Congrats! Do you know when you submitted everything?
HI colleague!!Just received my A letter! Can't wait to meet yall
We love to see it!I just received a letter
Do you mind sharing when you applied and your statistics?Just received my A letter! Can't wait to meet yall
Yea sure. I applied on April 12, all my requirements were summited by April 16. My undergrad gpa is 3.12; my grades did reflect an upwards trend. I plan on taking the MCAT this coming up summer, so I have no stats on that. I am also a drug and alcohol counselor; that's what helped me stand out I think. Hopefully, my gpa gives some hope to yall :')Do you mind sharing when you applied and your statistics?
They plan to offer it in person unless pandemic restrictions are still in place. If this happens it will be hybrid or fully online. They will update us during the summer.Does anyone know if this program is going to be online or in person?
If it's in person I need to find a housing
