Hey guys, I have been doing some research and found some schools masters programs like PCOM, but the dont guarentee a seat in the next class. I was wondering if you guys know if any programs do save a seat for you depending on your GPA.

LECOM Erie post-bac program gives you a conditional acceptance based on maintaining a 3.0 GPB in the program & having a minimum of 23 MCAT. It should be noted that this isn't a walk in the park type of program, you really have to bust you booty in order to keep that seat in the medical school class. Check out the postbac forum for LECOM.

Western has a MSMS program that has a linkage to their med school. You should check out the post bac forum, there's a lot of info on there. Good luck!

I don't know of many places, other than the aforementioned LECOM program, that guarantee a seat. However, some SMP's do offer a guaranteed interview if you maintain a 3.5+ in the program and a 27-28+ MCAT. These programs and requirements for interview seem similar in both the allo and osteo school worlds.

I believe LMU-DCOM has a similar arrangement as LECOM, but I'm not entirely sure on the specifics of this program as it is only accepting applications for its second class.

The LECOM program guarantees and interview if one meets the requirements. From what it sounds like though, the chances of getting an acceptance once granted that interview as a post-bac are pretty darn good.

TouroCOM-NY masters program saves seats as long as you maintain a certain GPA. I don't know what that is, though.

I believe Nova (NSUCOM) has one as well.

Not 100% sure but I think it was 3.5+ I forgot what it was. Also I've met a couple of kids in that program and hear it's pretty tough to get into it. However the director in Touro is a alumni of Rutgers so perhaps you can talk about RU pride? 😀
