Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP)

[anonimass]

Guaranteed admission to medical school and financial and academic support.

For anyone that is/was/would like to discuss the program...

If a student in the program is dismissed or resigns from the program, what exactly would have to be paid back? From my understanding, scholarships and stipends would have to be returned. Would the costs of housing during summer "internships," social activities, and MCAT materials also have to be paid back by the student?

I just love that acronym. JAMP. It sounds like a k-pop boy band or something.

I feel like you're talking about the ucsf/berkeley JMP

The money invested on you has to be paid back no matter what (food/housing/internships/travel/...). It sums up to $10k+ from what I understand, but, why are you trying to take the money and run?

Had to look up "k-pop." Feeling old and lame. Time for mom jeans.

My friend was in this program, so I know a bit about it.

I believe all the money that has been invested in you has to be returned. This includes anything and everything they have paid for you, regardless of when it occurred.

Seems like the total cost would add up to more than $10K, considering that the some of the students stay in decent hotels for months.

That's what I said. Still, you haven't answered the question

Wouldn't happen. JAMP was created under the 77th Texas Legislature, thus the state government would probably take action in getting taxpayer money back.

I was suggesting that total cost would be significantly over $10K per student.
