I've been hearing rumors that the program format/3.0 guarantee might change very soon. here is a PM discussion i had with a current AP student:
I am sorry but I have actually heard this from the faculty. My friend (an AP) had his interview with the a prof. who is alos in charge of the admissions and he said that the program will most likely be changed. I am not sure if they are going to change the whole 3.0 thing but he said "the APs WILL NOT be taking as much medical classes as they do now....and it might even be at a separate campus so they are not even in the same classes." The main thing is that when you are an M1A you are in the same classes as the M1s (straight from college). And you are on the same curve as them....and since you are only taking 2 classes and they are taking like 5-6.....The M1As are the ones who are setting the curves....and i admit that this is totally not fair...But yeah I am not exaggerating when I say this.....but I have heard from 2-3 faculty members that there is a good chance that the 3.0 thing is not gonna happen from now on...BUT then they also say that we are not 100%...my guess is that in the next 3-4 years its gonna be gone for sure....the only problem is when are they going to implement this decision? and honestly i have absolutely NO CLUE....im sorry
any other current AP'ers hear of the same thing? i am particularly worried about the 3.0 guarantee since that is the main attraction for me (instead of gtown, drexel, BU). not too worried about being on another campus or taking less classes, just as long as i can get in as a MS1 the following year. man i am worried now. i think i will try to email/phone the admissions coordinator when apps come out.
