What's the opinion on meal plan (from previous IMS'ers and future ones)? I'm looking forward to meeting all of you guys next year 🙂

I was looking for any meal plans that I could use to get lunch occasionally, but I actually wasn't able to find any that are applicable to us. The Stiles apartments have a full kitchen, so I think everyone is expected to cook. The dining hall and all the other student eateries are over in University City, and there's also a cafe at Queen Lane, but nothing remotely within walking distance of the Center City locations.

The Stiles FAQ mentions the "Drexel Ultima fund program" for loading up your Dragoncard to use at the hospital cafeteria, but that's still just monetary value, not a meal plan.

If anyone knows differently, please let me know... I really don't feel like bag-lunching it all year long!

How long did it take after you sending in your deposit to successfully set up your student account? I'm trying to get my deposit in for Stiles Hall, but they tell me to do it through my Drexel account... which I can't seem to get up yet 😡

I mailed mine on the 8th (so they probably got it on the 9th because I'm in the city), and I set up my account on the 13th. It may have been working before that, but I didn't even think to try.

quick question, how long does it take to send the despot? do you just send the cashier's check in mail or something?

also, is anyone going to sac for sure? i'd love to talk to you guys.

I'm neurotic about anything of importance being sent anywhere.. so I FedEx'd it (3 days with a tracking number/signature required).

 

[DeucesHigh3]

I just put a cashier's check in an envelope with the Personal Data Form and mailed it. I probably would have used some sort of delivery confirmation if it was coming from Cali though.

They seemed to have processed it really quickly (hey, it's money!).

Hi! I was wondering what classes have labs. AMCAS asks to specify if a class is lab and lecture?

Microanatomy and Neuro.

So I'm not applying to Drexel during my IMS year.

It seems like the way it works anyway, if you apply during your first year, you have to wait until January/February for the advisor letter and your first semester's grades. So you're already doing late interviewing, if any. I don't really want to deal with that kind of stress and just want to focus on destroying exams. Also, I talked to the department and it seems like you get ONE shot at the guaranteed interview no matter what year you use it in. So if you were to apply this year with the guarantee and Drexel passes on you, next cycle you are treated like any other applicant (Of course, we're all going to get 4.0's... right... right? 😛)

Since I've pretty much decided I'm going on the 2-year path, I'm going to use the guarantee after a full-year of IMS grades. Which should theoretically mean come 2011, I would get some of the first interview slots.

Meanwhile, still waiting on my student account so I can set up my Stiles residence. Hope y'all are enjoying your last bit of freedom this summer.

 

[PersiannDO]

Maybe you guys can give me some advice...

I just got invited and accepted to Touro's MS-MHS program which is sort of like a gateway into their medical school....guaranteed interview-not acceptance. But the rates seem to be high with these programs into their school, since only 10 people are accepted into the masters program. the positive thing is, it sets you up for aug-2011 medical class...

At the same time I'm accepted into Drexels IMS program...Its a lot more official in the sense of having historical roots and being known nationally as a respectable program...but at the same time I would also have to take the 2-year route since my undergrad science gpa was low and what held me back from acceptance this year

I really would not mind attending Touros program but I'm stuck at this cross-road and need someone to convince me...or perhaps there are others who were stuck at similar crossroads and made a decision could provide some advice on why they picked drexel over the other, or vice versa.

 

[DeucesHigh3]

So I'm not applying to Drexel during my IMS year.

I actually just came to the opposite decision. This application cycle, I'm not hopeful about interviews anywhere, though my chances would be decent if adcoms waited for my recommendation and first semester grades. That's why I'm going to use the guaranteed interview to keep my foot in the door at Drexel long enough to actually get looked at.

Next year, I'd like to think I wouldn't need an interview guarantee, once the entire year's grades are in. Because if I'm still in bad enough shape that I'd be passed over without the guarantee, what would have been the point of the IMS program?

That said, I'm still somewhat undecided about doing the MMS during the second year, if this cycle doesn't work out. It seems like a pretty expensive way to spend the gap year, and only gives you one more med school class to show off in (versus 5 of them the year before).

(Of course, we're all going to get 4.0's... right... right? )

Damn right! I'd like to think the SDN population as a whole will be overrepresented in the 3.5+ crowd. I know I won't be happy with less than a 3.8, despite knowing that an hour a week of studying won't bring the A's anymore. 🙄

Meanwhile, still waiting on my student account so I can set up my Stiles residence. Hope y'all are enjoying your last bit of freedom this summer.

Wow they really seem to be taking their time on your account. It's not like you sent your deposit by Pony Express... lol

I guess the biggest decision is how strongly you want to go to Touro's COM, if there really is a strong unofficial linkage (because of the small master's class). I'd never heard of the MHS program (I'm East Coast), but it looks really solid, in that you get to attend class with the medical students, dissect cadavers for Gross, and do research right away. I assume you probably already saw it, but here's a thread where the admissions director answers some questions about the program.

Drexel, on the other hand, has the advantages of name recognition, being at an MD school (though this might not be relevant, given your username), providing one additional medical school class the first year, and giving you the opportunity to test out of MS-1 classes that you do in IMS. Are you sure your stats are bad enough that the one-year route at Drexel is not feasible?

 

[aidama]

Wow they really seem to be taking their time on your account. It's not like you sent your deposit by Pony Express... lol

They called me this morning at the witching hour my-time... account will be up in 24-48 hrs. It was actually Joy that called me, asking "Philadelphia? 100% Sure!?" I'm like "yeeeep!" and passed out. Anyway, I only applied to Florida schools & select DO schools this cycle. If I were to get into NOVA/PCOM I'm thinking I'll forget about that 2nd year. 😉

@PersiannDO: As far as choosing a post-bac program, it does say 5/7 of last year were accepted, that's not horrible odds. I guess it depends on what your plans are. Where do you want to go to school? Do you want to take that linkage (the probably smart path?) I didn't apply to any other post-bacs because I wanted to be around family in Philadelphia and the two-year model appealed to my "always have a plan B" attitude. My stats are pretty decent, not terrible but not fantastic (c3.6, s3.3). What was I gonna do if I didn't get in anywhere? Bam. 2nd year masters. So Drexel fit me really, really well.

 

[aidama]

Oh, the immunization form is definitely due JULY 29th, right? They called me asking for it, and I got confused. Been lazy about getting my TB test done - guess I'll get it started tomorrow.

Well my acceptance e-mail said everything needs to be in by July 9, and the orientation memo says July 23. I assume it's the 23rd, because the 29th would only leave them a day or so to confirm everything in time for us to register.

They also called me today asking about a final transcript... which I sent over a month ago. Either it never got there, or it was too soon after graduation for everything to be listed properly... who knows.

Being from Cali you may know more...I'm referring to TOURO-CA, it is apparently their first year having this program MS-MHS and they only accept 10 people...so I have no stats to go off of, to know how strong this unofficial linkage is, at the same time im accepted into drexel. I would like to go to Touro since its close to family, etc for medical school....I guess I'll stick to Touro(?) ugh, I think I'll get in touch with their admissions and ask them.

 

[daisy58]

does anybody have any idea about the acceptance rate to the Drexel medical school from the IMS program?

 

[aidama]

does anybody have any idea about the acceptance rate to the Drexel medical school from the IMS program?

its in one of the old threads. out of the kids that interviewed (1/3 of the class) only a handful were accepted outright but most of the kids got accepted off the waitlist. remember that a lot of people do the 2-year program.

 

[daisy58]

Thank you aidama for your response to my question. those are pretty low #s

 

[DeucesHigh3]

does anybody have any idea about the acceptance rate to the Drexel medical school from the IMS program?

Yeah, here's the post aidama was referencing, it's down there somewhere:

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=504265&page=2

There are 100 students in the IMS program, plus the 20 or so from the MBS program who take the same classes.

Last year, ~50 (I think it was 48) got A's/B's, 27 qualified for the interview (>27 MCAT), and 12 were accepted. So Drexel took 12 out of 120+ of their own students. I wouldn't bank on going to DUCOM, my bet's that next year they'll take even fewer. And doing well is no guarantee: I know people who were rejected with 3.8+ GPAs. They did take the one guy with a 4.0.

Looks like the chances for first-year acceptance are darned good if your MCAT is already above the cutoff(s) and you don't get below a B in anything, assuming the rest of your application is OK.

It seems like most of the whining about IMS concerns the fact that 3/4 of the class doesn't get the guaranteed interview, but people just need to go into it with their eyes open about the requirements. Also, apparently a lot of people drop Immunology because it comes at a busy time of the year and is optional for the certificate, but it's required for the interview and MMS year.

 

[aidama]

Thank you aidama for your response to my question. those are pretty low #s

I don't think so. Not everyone qualifies for the interview outright (need 9/9/9 to qualify) AND you have to receive A/B in every course. Moreover, the IMS program is best as a two year program, meaning you should plan on completing IMS and then applying. If you apply for Fall 2011 matriculation your application is not complete at any COM until February - they want a letter from your advisor and your first semester grades. You're an extremely late review. Most kids that applied in the summer would have heard about acceptances by then.

I think it's also to put things into perspective: You can have amazing statistics but your interview can blow/you're deficient in some aspect of your application like experience/personal statement. The post that was linked states that 27 were interviewed and 12 were accepted. That's almost 50% of the kids that get interviewed get accepted. There is no official linkage with DUCOM, but I'd say getting a guaranteed interview is one hell of a start.

That post is also statistics for the first year. I'd be really interested in seeing the statistics of the SECOND year.

Am I confident I'm going to do well? Yeah. Am I confident that the program is going to help me? Yes, after I get my masters (apply for Fall 2012 matriculation). Do I agree with their numbers? I dunno. But I wouldn't have chose Drexel if I didn't think it was going to help.

 

[Tomz11]

Just applied, hopefully I can get my application complete in time and there are still spots. I was wondering why they are so high tech with their video streams for courses, but they still require paper applications?

Hopefully I can get into the Philly program, commuting 40 minutes every morning from my parent's home would kill me. I hate traffic in Sacramento!

Just curious, when would orientation / classes start? Are there still single rooms in Stiles?

Hoping I get a quick response so I don't start looking for a place late July!

Are you placed in all the classes needed, or do you have to sign up for them through their school site?

Thanks in advance!

 

[aidama]

I was wondering why they are so high tech with their video streams for courses, but they still require paper applications? Well, that's the COM that's high-tech with their video streams, not the post-bac... 🙂

Hopefully I can get into the Philly program, commuting 40 minutes every morning from my parent's home would kill me. I hate traffic in Sacramento! Not nearly as terrible as traffic IN philadelphia 🙂

Just curious, when would orientation / classes start? Are there still single rooms in Stiles? Hoping I get a quick response so I don't start looking for a place late July! Orientation is on August 2nd for both programs and classes start on the 9th. There are no single rooms left in Stiles. I don't think there ever are! Plus it's outrageously expensive for a single room. I can personally justify the cost and convenience of a 2 bedroom, but not a single.

I read in a different thread (or was it this one?) that if you didn't take some nutrition(?) course, even with a 4.0, you were not eligible for the interview? You have to take immunology and nutrition to qualify for the guaranteed interview. I think this is still 1 less class than what the MS-1 kids have to take. So it should be manageable for all of us. And yeah, you have to take those AND make all B's and above.

Are you placed in all the classes needed, or do you have to sign up for them through their school site? Sign up at orientation.

Bolded for laziness

 

[Tomz11]

Thanks for the response!

And at least for the horrible traffic in Philly, I can walk to school if I live close. My parents would never let me live anywhere else if I was going to school in Sacramento.

I'll probably just leave my car at the other Drexel parking area and hope it doesn't get stripped for parts.

 

[DeucesHigh3]

The MS-1 class has all of the IMS classes (sans Ethics), plus Gross Anatomy, Behavioral Science, Principles of Medical Research (statistics, etc), Medical Genetics, Physician and Patient, Intro to Ambulatory Care, and a variety of mostly-useless time-sinks associated with Community Educational Experience.

I think it's fair to say that anyone who can't excel in IMS (with all the extra time we have compared to the med students) would probably be drowning in MS-1, so it's not realistic to think squeaking by with B's across the boards are going to prove anything to ADCOMs.

So yeah, it's not so unfair that they make us take Nutrition and Immunology in order to get the interview 🙂

 

[jordan2323]

As a former IMSer, I feel like I can offer some answers to recent posts.

Interview: There was some discussion about stats and acceptance rates. In considering how many people get the guaranteed interview, the numbers could be a bit better than listed for people that would have qualified. More people qualify for the interview than listed but don't apply to Drexel for one reason or another (either personal choice or theyre on the two year track) and are not included in the people that had the guaranteed interview. This year 22 did the guaranteed interview (GI). Additionally, there are maybe 5 or so that don't qualify for a GI but are invited to interview anyway. The 22 is for IMS and MBS students. MMS students usually interview in the fall like regular applicants. The Drexel GI was in january this year which is earlier than ; normal. By that time they have your grades for first semester which include biochem, nutrition, physio, micro, immuno, and med and soc. I'd be happy to answer any other questions about the whole process. I didn't really understand it at the time.

Books: Do not buy books except for med & soc and nutrition. Everything else is in the module notes. If you memorize the module notes and watch all the lectures, it will be really hard for you to not get A's. That being said, you must know everything in the module notes. I mean everything. Haha no pressure...

Living: I lived in Stiles and thought it was nice. Many other IMS students live there so it's nice to have other people to study with if you are into that. I prefer to study on my own and since it's all graduate students, it was a very quiet place to study. By no means is this luxury housing, but it gets the job done for a one year program.

Grades: Get the best grades you possibly can. The program will seem hard at the beginning but it gets harder so make sure you start doing well from the beginning because it is very hard to "catch-up" after the first exam. Dr. Soslau will let you know that at orientation. Also, while the program seems to give you the impression that it looks great to get a 3.0, this means that you are performing as well as an average med student. Schools don't necessarily want to admit average students they want exceptional students, so try to get much higher than a 3.0 (3.6-4.0) if you want to apply to allopathic schools. It's going to take a lot to get good grades because these classes are not like anything most of you have taken before. As a general rule, I would recommend studying every waking moment for the first test and taking it from there. At times this is very hard to do but if you just keep thinking that if you do well this one year, you can be a doctor for life, it becomes easier to swallow.

Applications: If you qualify for the guaranteed interview right now (at least 9s in each section of MCAT I believe), you should apply to Drexel. With my undergrad track record, I didn't believe that I had much shot at getting in, but this was wrong. If you do extremely well in the program (3.8-4.0), you can still get in. There were a few people in the program like this. I know of students that did not apply because they were doing the "two year option" and who would have qualified for the GI that regretted it. Even if you are considering not apply to any schools this year you should at least apply to Drexel. Given that it is their program and they know how it all works, they are more forgiving of reapplicants from their post-bacc than other schools might be. I'm not saying that everyone who gets great grades will get in but I think you shouldn't underestimate your chances, even if you are ok with doing the two year plan as I was.

Well I think that pretty much covers it. I'll keep watching this and try to answer any other questions.

Thanks AIDAMA for your detailed response. It helps a lot

I am planning to submit my application this cycle while I am doing the IMS program. Could someone enlighten me as to how this should be done I'm still confused. Do you wait to submit AMCAS until your first semester grades and letter of rec come in or do you apply ASAP and then add those to your application later (I was under the impression that once your application is submitted you cannot edit it?). Could someone clarify this for me.

This post from an old thread answers your question pretty well. I gather that we submit our AMCAS this summer (fill in Drexel IMS future courses), and then send the transcripts and recommendation directly to the schools we're applying to. I'm pretty sure you can add (but not remove!) new transcripts and LORs to a completed AMCAS, so cutting out the middle-man in January is probably just for speed.

Just make sure your Drexel entry says "Transcript Required: No", and you won't have all that trouble CaptainZero did with getting your primary Verified. There are also a lot of other good tips for the program in that thread.

Hey folks,

Any males still looking for a roommate in Stiles? (Or anywhere near campus in general, I just prefer Stiles because it's so close). I just got accepted a few days ago so I just submitted the roommate request form, thought this might give me a quicker response. I'm 21yrs, male non-smoker, PM me if you're interested and we can work things out from there. Thanks! 😀

 

[wanderingbear]

Hey everyone, I'm a late addition to the IMS program and am also looking for a place to live. PM me if you're looking for a quiet roommate who's good with paying rent on time.

(I also have furniture I'm willing to bring to furnish unfurnished places in Stiles with, if that makes me a more attractive roommate option).

 

[DeucesHigh3]

Hey guys, I went ahead and made a Drexel IMS 2010-2011 facebook page, so that might be useful for coordinating housing and stuff like that.

 

[dr octagon]

Thanks for sharing that link deucess it has been invaluable. I'm really excited about next year but also nervous (in a good way). In a way, I'm looking forward to hitting the books.

 

[md2014percosa]

All of the documents are DEFINITELY due by July 9...immunization form, final MCAT, final transcript, everything. The only exception is if your degree is not yet conferred, like me. You have to call and tell them when it will be conferred so they know when to expect it and grant you and extension for the transcripts if you need it.

Soo... I guess I'll get my TB test started tomorrow. 😡 Been too busy trying to set up a Stiles account. They keep telling me to register for it online, but I see nothing!

Anyone know if orientation is the full week, or just a day or two?

You have to use the orientation website link you got in the acceptance email. All you need is your social security number. You pretty much have to go through and click on all the links to find it and find the link to set up new accounts. It looks like a scroll in the background. That's how you know you found the right one.

 

[DeucesHigh3]

Four days, from the looks of this orientation schedule from 2008.

I know there was on argument about the 27 vs 30 on the mcat on some thread, but I couldn't find it again. I have taken the mcat twice both in 2008: 27O (9-8-10) and 28O (10-9-9). What confuses me is that on the website it says the most recent mcat should be a 30, does that mean I don't qualify for the interview at this point?

This year it is 27 (9/9/9) or above 30 with no less than a 7 in an individual section. Your acceptance email should say whether or not you got the GI.

Your second score is fine, according to the website.

I didn't have any mention of the interview on my acceptance e-mail... maybe they did it differently for the Sacramento program, regardless of which you actually chose to attend?

The requirements are the same for both locations. The only difference between Philly and Sacramento is the location. Otherwise, they are EXACTLY the same. Sacramento just has fewer people and the lectures aren't live.
Aidama's numbers are exactly right. I asked during my interview and when they called me for my immunization form. Both times, same answer for the GI .... 9/9/9 or >30 with one section < 9 but no less than a 7.

Yeah, I know the MCAT requirements she mentioned are correct, I meant that perhaps someone different was doing the acceptance e-mailing for the two locations. I'm above the cutoffs, but nothing was said about the interview in my e-mail -- hence my confusion.

 

[dashak]

Mine didn't specify that either. I guess we will figure out for sure during the orientation.

Hi Everyone! I'm very late in the application process, but I have my application ready to mail out, i'm just waiting for my last reference letter, does anyone know when is the deadline for application?

could GRE work for IMS application or do you have to have a MCAT score?

Philadelphia - Deadline 7th
Sacramento - Deadline is like the 17th or something.

For IMS you need an MCAT score really >27. I think MSP needs an MCAT score too

 

[caboy]

-Deadline for IMS PA is July 9th and it has been extended to July 17th for IMS Sacto.
-The guaranteed interview numbers apply to either program min 27 (V9B9P9) or 30 (nothing less than 7). You can verify whether you have a guaranteed IV after your acceptance by the calling the admin office
-IMS requires an MCAT score. MSP and IHS require either an MCAT score or GRE.
-All supporting documentation must be postmarked by July 9th. However, the immunization form due date depends on when you were accepted which is outlined in your acceptance email.
-Orientation runs from Aug 2-Aug 6, 9AM-4PM. Classes start on Aug 9.
