Hey,
I was accepted to the Med Masters program and I'm looking for 1 or more roommates, male or female. I'm a 23 year old male who is about to graduate from UCONN. I'm fairly neat, a good cook, and a little dorky. I'll live anywhere, the closer to EVMS the better, and I'd like everyone (or at least me) to have their own bedroom.
I'd be willing to drive down to look at places anytime after May 15th.
Contact me through AIM "uconnJL" or through my e-mail address [email protected].
Thanks and good luck to anyone who hasn't received an acceptance yet.
i just called and they told me "notifications" will be sent out this coming week or the next. how's that for vague?
thanx for the update! 🙂 hopefully by "notifications" they mean acceptance/waitlist/rejection.....i really hope they send out all three by next week....(seriously tired of stalkin the fed-ex man and checkin sdn like a maniac every half hour) 😎
Me Too! I just jumped out of my skin when the doorbell rang and it was DHL - I thought maybe they didn't use Fed Ex this time....it was just something for my husband. BOO!
So, does the vague message about "notifications" mean that nothing went out Friday?!

I don't think they plan to fill the class in one fell swoop? Usually offers are sent out periodically (at least by most schools). Does EVMS have a different process by which the fill every seat during this "notification" week? Unless someone can (verify) differently, I'm going to stick with the assumption that some offers may go out next week, but not ALL offers...and they will continue to fill seats as the committee meets (biweekly, monthly, etc...).
Sound reasonable? Or does someone have more specific information to the contrary? In any case...good luck to all! 😱
did you get the EVMS acceptance today?
I completed and sent my application in the first week of february and was accepted by the first week of march.did you receive your acceptance this weekend? also, do you mind me asking your stats? 😳
Hey everyone,
I am wondering if anyone could give me some input regarding the competitiveness of my application to the EVMS Biomedical Sciences (Medical Master's) program for this upcoming academic year. First of all, I literally handed in my application on April 29th, like 2 days before the due date, and my transcript from Graduate school (I am currently finishing an M.S. in biochemistry at a US medical school) is in the mail as we speak due to a previous, untimely hold on my account. Another factor refolves around the fact that I recently took the April 12th MCAT, and am under the impression that they have my application on hold since it takes 30 days to retrieve scores. I went to a very tough undergraduate school, and got a 3.4 and a 3.6 my last two years, which still didn't correct the absense of hard work my first two years. I also have done Physiology and Biochemistry research in the past for experience at a med school, and have also had a ton of shadowing experience with physicians.
My stats are as follows:
Undergraduate GPA: 2.75 cumulative
Post-bac/M.S. GPA: 3.52 " "
MCAT score: 28 S (PS: 8 BS:10 VR: 10) WS: S
In addition, I beleive the most recent April test went well, but I want to go on this as if my previous MCAT score above was the distinguishing factor just for simplicities sake. My A's and B's (mostly A's) were in the medical school classes at a particular medical school including medical Physiology, Biochemistry, medical molecular, M2-Cardiology, and M Histology. Could anybody tell me if my application would be competitive, especially considering the fact that I turned it in right at the deadline and acceptances have already started to be handed out? Sorry to be so extensive, I am just trying to get a well-rounded ideea. Oh, and by the way, I got a D in second semester Physics and I know this is unforgivable but I am hoping all of the success in the medical curriculum will circumvent this. Thanks a lot for the support.

Waitlisted! UGH!
Received a letter today via snail mail that was dated Friday 4/13 and postmarked yesterday, 4/18.
Good luck to everyone!

Hey,
The reason I am applying is even though my GPA and MCAT are high enough to get into medschool, I only applied two places this past year and am currently waitlisted at both. And, since I am from the area, I wanna go to EVMS anyways I like the faculty and the school and believe that some of the other schools have way too much red tape (not going to get specific here). But, this is just my opinion. Plus, I am under the impression that if you are successful in the program it is a great transition into the MD program. BTW - quick question - why are some people with 30's + trying to do a post bac....You all do realize that the average MCAT for an AMCAS acceptance throughout the US at all medical schools is a 28 right? You all would prob almost DEFINITLEY straight up get into med school, but to each their own...
Hey,
...You all do realize that the average MCAT for an AMCAS acceptance throughout the US at all medical schools is a 28 right? You all would prob almost DEFINITLEY straight up get into med school, but to each their own...
I am sorry about that, I was not trying to spread lies about what MCAT is needed for acceptance into medical school. What I should have wrote is the following: If you get around a 28 to a 30, be it a 28, 29, or a 30, and you have a good GPA and there is nothing abnormally "wrong" with your application, you will most likely get at least wait-listed as an in-state applicant at both MCV and EVMS. EVMS and MCV's average MCAT for acceptance is a 29. Straight up. I do agree with what you wrote about averaging the averages...I suppose I didn't perform an ultrasound on the figures and extrapolate them to the nth degree. However, now that somebody else did, I do agree with the conclusion that a 30.4 is the average for matriculating students in United States medical schools.
My second point I will make here: If you do have a strong MCAT and good GPA and do not get accepted to an in-state or out-of-state medical school or post-bac program with your stats, you would be best off going to St. Georges or Ross (thats my back-up plan). If you do well at either (they are actually both pretty damn good schools, although not AMCAS, look at the stats with USMLE pass rates yourself) you WILL land a sweet residency. Yale has 8 derms student residents, and one is from Ross. It is better known than EVMS (I am not saying its a better school, they do have an attrition rate, but it is not atrocious). In addition, in the past decade it has become pretty much all your recommendations from clinical rounds M3 and M4, your performance in clinical rounds, and your USMLE scorer. I was told by the associate dean at one of the medical schools that your grades in medical school comprise approximately 15 percent of your acceptance into residency. Something to look into. I know two students that got the equivalence of high pass and honors in classes at Ross and a high pass on the USMLE (not rediculous, just high pass) who are now doing their M4 year at Georgetown. One of them is already accepted into radiology at University of Kentucky. Oh, and EVMS placed 2 radiology residencies last year, Ross and St. Georges each placed over 8. Even though they have twice the number of students, its still two times more radiology residencies taking that fact into account. Dont ask me, ask the medical schools that accept residents. If you are a "Pass" medical student, have fun being part of the 50 percent that will have no choice but Internal Medicine...
Hey, guys. I got my WL letter today. I am pretty happy that i was wl'd and not rejected. Hopefully, I get pulled offAnyone have WL stats for them? Thanks!
I was just defending my response to Dr. Roberts, not trying to stirr up trouble. Lol, I mean this is a medical school related thread, so there is bound to be a lot of Type A remarks made. The entire point behind the Ross and St. George thing was one student made a remark about Ross and St. Georges, and I was just putting it out there that its not about where you go at all, its about how you do and your USMLE scores. If you go to Georgetown, for instance, it will be way harder to even get a lot of high passes and honors becuase you are thrownin with geniouses. My friend right now got into Georgetown med from their SMP program and is struggling - he only pretty much passes things second year even though he got lots of high passes and honors first year. And that brings me to another question. Ssquared, maybe you know the answer to this. Is the Medical masters primarily for students trying to get into EVMS - and what is the matriculation rate (say, for last year, for instance)? Thanks for the information.
is it fair to say that they have accepted their 20 students already and just waitlisting everyone else.

What was the average gpa of those accepted to the smp and those that latter went on to being accepted at EVMS med?The average MCAT of admitted students to EVMS is as follows:
10.3. VR
9.7 PS
10.4 BS
again, averaging the averages (though not statistically correct) gives us an approximate average MCAT of 30.4 -- and believe it or not that is statistically significantly different from a 29. (Just for the record, the VCU MCAT average is right around 28.2.)

Not sure...I was told on Tuesday by Nicole that my application was still under review and that there were still spots available, and I still haven't heard anything either way, so it's hard to say...
those that have been waitlisted, what are you stats? I haven't heard anything from them and I have been complete since early march....No waitlist = rejection? i don't know what "under review means"... argh
