Good luck! Looks like a promising program!
I'm just a little unclear if we need to apply and I should prep an AACOMAS app let me know if you hear anything 🙂

Oh, now I understand your question a little better. So from what I know, yes you will apply to Programs via AACOMAS during the upcoming cycle and typically they are waitlisted to see what type of grades you get from the program. While those with high grades and MCAT before the program might get an acceptance, but you'll hear back.

ahh this is for DCOM as well? so they put us on hold and interview us in the spring once they have one semester worth of grades?
This is per my conversation with a current student in the program.
"Like the person you spoke with, I have also been wait listed. & yes, I can confirm that several other master's student have been wait listed as well. To elucidate, we are only guaranteed an interview to DCOM with a 3.0 or better per our course catalog. We are not guaranteed an acceptance. Very few schools actually guarantee an acceptance. HOWEVER, I was told by a faculty member that they wait list the MS students to continue evaluating them throughout the Spring semester. Also, they want to see how we do in Medical Neuroanatomy. I strongly believe that, at the end of the day, I will be accepted, as will most of my classmates who also have a decent application. "

it was the advisor of the program and some random professor super chill! I think you'll be fine. I feel like they weed out prior to the interview if they don't like you

What did they ask??
D
deleted798004
Did they say when they would let you know by?
I was initially told to tell me them a little about myself. Then they asked why LMU? Biggest adversity faced in life? How well do I get along with others? How do I handle stressful situations? How do I manage my time? When will my MCAT score come out? How did I prepare for them this go around?
Interviwer: "Okay, we'll get back with you by the end of the week"

I only did the MS in biomedical professionals! Good luck on your interview!
Congrats! 🙂 Don't worry, honestly I was nervous as well but my interview was brief, and they did not ask me any hard questions!! I personally originally applied to the AS program, but was rejected.. then they recommended to have my app transferred over to the BP one which I agreed to do.. and I was accepted in the BP program a while back!
Did they tell you why they rejected you for the AS application.?
@mp219 yeah I don't think you should stress too much about the interview process it wasn't that bad. It was about 10 mins long. This is how mines went...

Interviwer: "Okay, we'll get back with you by the end of the week" Called on Mon, Accepted by Wed
No, they just said that the admissions made a decision about my file (rejection), but they thought that I would be a very strong candidate for the BP program if I am willing to transfer over my file.. did just that, and received acceptance!

Congrats!! Looking forward to meeting you in the fall if you decide on this program.
When I asked about the AS program they said if you are considering med school they prefer people to enroll in the BP program. That the AS is reserved for individuals who want to have a career in anatomy idk

Ahhh, okay then. I guess that sort of makes sense. Well, congratulations to all who have been accepted as well.
Accepted today!! So excited!
Accepted as well. Can any current students chip in about the program from this year? I know a lot has changed (such as a guaranteed acceptance now pending a satisfactory interview if you maintain a 3.4).
Interview invite for next week sent to me today. Stoked!
This program now has a guaranteed acceptance to the med school?? I think it’s just an interview. Does anyone know if all pre reqs need to be complete before application or just classes??
