Does anyone know the MCAT score required for admissions from DPMS to DUCOM MD program?
45th percentile in every section
Hmm that's pretty low, I thought it would be 75 percentile in every section or something like that. Thanks!
Lol I’m pretty sure if it was 75th percentile you would just apply to medical school without this program.
I would also like to know. Their website schedule says first round of acceptances would go out at the beginning of May and the last round at the end of May, but no one seems to have heard anything yet. The only person that has received a rejection is the person who unfortunately did not get an interview invite. Honestly I have no idea what’s going on. I guess everyone will just find out in June sometime.
Just received an interview yesterday and completed my application on 5/2. The latest interview date they offered me was May 31st. I'm so nervous and excited! Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or can offer their interview experience?
Yup I did, wait listed.

No, they're still probably looking at files. Don't give up!

Mainly loans and money saved up. They have a financial advisor come talk to you over the summer about loans and stuff but it's not bad.

You should receive an email if you are rejected. and there is an extra week of interviews.
Hello what is the ethical scenario essay and is that anything we should prepare for? And about how long does the one on one faculty interview last?

Has anyone received an acceptance to DPMS yet?
don't think they'll send anything out until all the interviews are done
On 5/10 they said end of may. Not sure what people after that were told.
Thanks @ashaaban95 I looked at the DPMS website last night and they updated the timeline to show that final decisions will be sent out in June not end of May anymore. So basically the timeline is the same as previous years except they've moved the first day of classes back. 😉 So fingers crossed that they haven't actually accepted anyone yet and we're all going to hear back in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the update! Just wondering, did you see what date classes were pushed back to?
I was told classes would start July 2nd
So basically if you haven't received an interview invite by today then its a no?
I haven't heard anything at all. My application process was a little crazy. They weren't going to consider me at first because they never received my committee letter. My recommender had a time stamped letter with the correct email address so finally on the 11th it said my application was complete.
Makes sense but on last year's forum some people heard back on like the 26th or something, so i dont know
They told us during the interview that they haven’t separated the numbers to compare tracks but past students said there is a higher matriculation rate for II. One student said during their dpms year only 2 of the ~16 track II students did not meet contract.
The low percentage is concerning but I think they do what they can to fascilitate your success. Past students also said that gpa (performance in classes) correlated with MCAT performance. So as long as you understand summer, fall and spring material you should be able to meet contract.

Has anyone reached out to the office and had any luck getting someone to pick up the phone for questions?

If you leave a message they usually get back to you the next day or two.
I was told at my interview that they would start sending out acceptances starting the first week of June
I heard they'd be interviewing around 100-110 people. But there seems to be around 20 or so interview dates total and at my interview day there were around 10 people, suggesting around 200 interviewed total. Anyone heard from them recently how many people are interviewed?
Also I know there are around 40 spots, but they probably accept more than 40 (assuming some people will choose to go elsewhere) - anyone know how many offers are given? Just trying to calculate the odds of getting an acceptance!

They only interview around 100, my interview day had 4 people including myself. As for acceptances I can’t imagine them extending too much more than 40 because chances are most people accepted will attend and they don’t want to be stuck with 80 people attending.
more like 40% accept and 10% waitlist
Are they still sending out invites or have they sent out all of the interview Invites at this point?
I'd love to get the answer to this question.
Considering the last interview days is 6 days away I would say yes. But they have also extended the interview dates, and pushed back acceptance dates so at this point anything is possible.
Congratulations, can you let us know when you interviewed and how you were informed?
What were your stats if you don’t mind?
I just got accepted as well!!
