RVU MSBS 2021-22

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just got my acceptance last night. I am a little worried because the letter accepts me for the Class of 2021 instead 2022? D:
 
For those who were accepted what were your stats?
Also is this a linkage program?
There is a linkage program with 3 different tiers. Check the last years forum to see if you can locate it. If not let us know in here! 🙂
 
What do mean by 3 different tiers?
also thanks for replying!
Sure so they have 3 tiers to getting possible acceptance. Someone please correct me if I misstate something.

Tier 1- 3.6 First Sem. 3.5 Second Sem = Guranteed Acceptance
Tier 2- 3.6 Cumulative in the program= " "
Tier 3- 3.3 or above - Guranteed Interview (I spoke to the head of the program and she said that the people that got this, the majority were accepted.)
 
Anyone mind sharing their stats? Just trying to see if I have a chance at the program

The head of the program told us that the avg stats are 3.3 Overall and Sc. and 499 MCAT but they look into other things as well such as experiences and story. They really look holistically at your scores so even if it is below avg., apply unless you have a score that is severely damaged.

Thanks for the info!
I made a huge mistake on PostBaccas. I applied to Midwestern Univeristy through PostBaccas app service and i made my PS specific to Midwestern. Unfortunately because my app has been verified, i can't edited.
I can't submit my app to RVU-COM if the PS is specific to Midwestern's program. Any advice on what i should do next? I'll def call the school.
I feel so stupid

Call the school and see if you can make any changes.
 
Not sure if you'll know the answer to this, but my application was verified about two weeks ago. The doctor writing my LOR is submitting it sometime this week. Do you know if they will wait to review my application until it comes in? I guess I am nervous that they will see that I don't have a LOR from a healthcare professional and just deny my application.

Also, when did your application get verified, and then when did you get accepted?

Try contacting them! Good luck!
 
Is there a facebook group for accepted students? I was thinking we should have one!
 
If anyone would infinite more knowledge than me in facebook understands how to create the facebook page- please feel free to send a link to this forum!

It looks like someone from the school has to create the page and we have to request to be a part of it. So maybe when someone from RVU creates a specific page for 2022 MSBS, we will be able to join!

Gotcha! Remind me down the road(maybe in middle of December) if you would like and I could contact Dr.Towne and ask her to tell whoever runs the page to create a page for us!
 
Hello! I have also just received my acceptance call today as well!
Congratulations!! When was your application verified? Mine was a couple of weeks ago and I am getting anxious
 
Alright submitted my request into the group! Can't wait to meet you guys! Feel free to PM me on fb or here if you would like to talk or whatever! 🙂
 
Did you get into the group? I am waiting very patiently xD (not exactly)
I had to impatiently wait a solid minute. Even when I did get in, I could no longer access my Facebook groups for 2 days. Now, I'm constantly refreshing to see the number of members go up. Hikey feels very lonely being the only member 🙁

Awww don't worry I requested for about 2 days now or so and still waiting but I will join you shortly! 🙂
 
I have a question, do I get verified by PostBacCAS only after I submit an application? and how long does it take?
 
I have another question. I put “no preference” for campuses in my application. Is it possible to get accepted to both? Or is it basically which ever campus gets to you first?

I believe the acceptance is based on the amount of seats per campus. I think if there are enough seats in both campuses atm that they will allow you to pick your preference! That's what happened to me 🙂

Thank you🙂 I’m speaking with the Program Director of Utah next week and I’m not sure what to think of it. It was their idea to schedule this meeting

Yea it must be Dr.Towne- if so she is the PD for the entire MSBS curriculum and I had a meeting with her too! She is very lovely and sweet and can answer any questions you have including the one you asked me! It's like a comfortable interview kinda no pressure or anything just relax and ask about!
