Got accepted yesterday! Glad to hear there is strong interest in this program. I am waitlisted at my in-state SOM, soit looks like I will end up here.
Hey everyone, I just got accepted for Fall 2011 and am really excited for the opportunity!!
I knew people have mentioned this in earlier post but just for bump sake what are the nicer, safe neighborhoods of Clinton? Or would you suggest just leaving in Jackson or somewhere outside of Clinton?
Secondly, what do MC grad/undergrad people do socially at night or where do they hang out? Are there any club/bar scenes around there or is it more of the "if you are bored just go hang out at the mall" type of scene?
Next, about how many students are in this masters?
Lastly, how have some of you registered already? I am hoping that I can still manage to choose classes and not be limited to what is just open.
Does anyone know what percentage of students who enter this program are accepted to US medical schools? Thanks
HI! What are the reasons for not living in Jackson? Is it not safe? Also what apartments did you find in suitable in Ridgeland? Hopefully I will make it to the area this week to look around.

If you want a nicer place with a gym and allows pets, live at the reserve. It's in Clinton and that's where most of the grad students live.
I looked at the Reserve, but I didn't think the pricing was too fantastic. I guess it depends on if you live alone or with roommates though? Not sure. I'm old and mean and set in my ways, so I'll be flying solo, lol.
Then you'll fit right in at this cutthroat program lol.
Hello,
I was recently accepted to the program and am now looking for a place to live/roommate. I have not found an apartment yet but if any of you have found one and are also looking for a roommate then please send me a private message so that we can further discuss.
I have some Q's about the program:
1. How many students are in each class (Anatomy, Physiology, etc)?
2. Can anyone give details about the paper you write? Do you also give a presentation with it?
3. Is it possible to finish the 33 hours in 2 semesters?
Thanks in advance

To answer question number 3.
I just finished the program in May 2011. I started in August 2010, and it took me the Fall, Spring, and May semesters to complete the 32-hr requirement. So I basically finished in 1 academic calendar year. Sucks for the incoming students, as the requirement is now 33-hrs. I really have no idea why they added the extra hour, probably just to get more money for the program. It is still possible to finish the program in 2 actual semesters + 1 Maymester. But do the math, 14 hours in the Fall and 14 hours in the Spring and 5 during the Maymester. Or you could take it a little easier in May (take only a 3 hour class), and then take Pharmacology during Summer Session I. Although I did finish relatively quickly, it will require a great deal of work if this is what you plan on doing. That being said, finishing the program in such a manner does not work for everyone. A great deal of students take 3 full semesters.
Hit me up with any questions! I'd be glad to be of help.
I'm Impressed...because many students i have spoken to, tell me it is better to take less semester loads and perform better than taking much more and graduating on time. If you don't mind me asking, how well did you do in the program considering the fact that it took you only two semesters. And also since i just got into the program, looking at my classes it seems like endocrinology might be the class taken from a three to four credit from what i heard due to its course load.......besides that what advice/method would you give to students just getting into the program as far as hours of studies is concerned!
Hey! I am going to be a grad student for the Medical Masters this fall and was wondering if any previous students could give me some advice on my schedule and their professors?!
Histology with Dunigan
Neuroanatomy with Baldwin
Cell Physiology with Howell
Graduate Seminar with Carmicle
Thank you!!
Hey people. I'm starting in the Fall and I am enrolled in Biochem, Human Heredity, and Gross. Any feedback on this schedule. I honestly struggled in science classes in undergrad so I'm trying to completely refocus all of my study habits to do well in this program.
I hate to waste money taking classes like Human Heredity, in which I have no interest, but if I can do well then that's what I'm going to do.
I should know this since I'm dental, but I don't: do they give shelf/board exams in dental school like the ones they give at MC? Just wanted to know if pre-dental students take the shelf exams?
If I finish Dec 2012 (given I go the 3 semester route) any suggestions on what to do during the gap right after graduation?
Hey guys! Can anyone provide any advice on the following schedule? This is my first semester, and I have always loved gross, but every first year student (i.e. first semester in the program) seems to be taking Neuro! Is there something I don't know?
My schedule (already registered):
Gross (5 hour) + Histo (5 hour)+ Cell Phys (2-hour)= 12 hours total
How does this look? Any comments on taking Histo & Gross together?

I just started the program and i think it's really up to you. if you feel like you are in a good position to get into medical school without any struggles; then go for it don't worry about the program. But if you feel a little bit sketchy about your chances of getting into med school then make the leap and give the program your best shot. For the most part students who go through this program and do well on their MCATs get into medical school...no doubt about that. The classes are taught by physicians and professors teaching med school so you are pretty much setting yourself up for success if you do the program giving it all you have.hi all
i was just accepted into the Master of Science Biology Medical Science program at Mississippi College today! i'm hesitant to go. will it really make a difference in my chances to go to medical school? i'm a little afraid to make such a huge move. thanks guys
I have a quick question! If I started this program Summer 2012 and finished it by Spring 2013, would I still be able to apply to MC's Dental School for FALL 2013 and get accepted even though interviews and such go out before December 1, 2012?
I just applied to this program a week ago, and was wondering how long it took for them to make a decision?
You can always apply since the program is not completing admissions requirements. I know the admissions committee at the medical school that I've spoken with won't truly consider my app until the close of the fall semester so that they can evaluate my performance in the program.
As far as how quick they make admissions decisions, I submitted my application at the beginning of the month and have not heard from them. Also, have you submitted the grade sheet required? I didn't know about that until several weeks after my application was complete. Contact Ms. DePriest at the school and she will email it to you.
Thanks so much theSmurfette ! Whats a grade sheet? I thought we only had to turn in the application, fee, and transcripts.
