Hello, so would someone applying to be a postbacc apply to the IMS? Does successful completion of the MSP guarantee admission to the IMS. I went to their website, and they didn't really distinguish between MSP IMS and MBS, can someone please explain
IMS is basically a 1 year program for people who basically don't need to take the MCAT again (27 or above). MSP is a 2 year program for people with a 17-25 on the MCAT. The first year you take science classes and an MCAT prep class. The second year is the MBS year which is the same as the IMS year where you take classes with the DrexelMed students. You graduate from the IMS program with a certificate, and you graduate from the MSP/MBS with a Master's.
So it goes like this: MSP(you have low MCAT) and its 1 year, then MBS (1yr with medical students) then IMS (1Yr)
So how would you go about applying to these, would you apply to one or all several if your in the gray area?
If you tell us your stats we can probably direct you towards the program that you should apply for. But like chuckshaw said though they will probably assign you to the best program for you based on your particular situation. If you have less than 27 on the mcat then you can't apply for the IMS program and if you have over 27 then you can't apply for the msp program.
Hey thanks for telling me , I don't want to turn this into the infamous "what are my chances thread" but roughly I have one year left in my undergrad institution, I have roughly a 3.0-3.2 GPA both science and cumulative(bio major). I haven't taken the MCAT yet, but I have started studying for it (or I bought the books ) I know I have a low GPA, I started out with a 3.6 GPA, I got depressed in the middle and now I'm trying to recover from it. I'm 20 years old and I feel really behind-thanks for the support guys
The MSP program also accepts GRE scores. If you are going to do MSP anyway, I would suggest not taking the MCAT at all and just taking the GRE. That way, you can have a year's worth of prep courses before you take the MCAT for the first time. Your GPA is fine for that program. You are definitely not far behind if you are only 20!
