Looking into backup options and I'm wondering if there are any masters or post-bac programs that will offer you guaranteed admission to a D.O. school if you meet certain criteria (GPA > X, etc.). I've seen a few that offer guaranteed interviews, but I'd love to aim for one with a guaranteed acceptance if possible. Thanks
 
I think they are all guaranteed interview except for BS/DO programs. I think it's the school's way of protecting itself from students whose character may be shaky upon getting to know them, but the truth is that nearly all students get in, which is the case with LECOM post-bacc and Touro-CA MS (not MPH).
 
Touro-ny. Pretty much guaranteed spot in class getting >3.5 gpa in their masters

VCOM.
Guaranteed acceptance in December (no interview) with min 24MCAT/3.6 in program.
If you don't get a 3.6 in the fall but you get it in spring (cum and for semester), guaranteed waitlist and, if you don't get off the waitlist, spot in the next year's class.
 
Does anyone know much about KCUMB's Masters programs as far as chances for admission? I know that they offer interviews with 1st semester gpas >3.3 or something like that with a 25 min. mcat but interested to know chances of actually getting in.
