You're guaranteed an interview "if you meet the minimum requirements for admission to OSUCOM." In another section they claim to not actually have minimum requirements but do say that "Competitive applicants typically have at least a 3.4 science GPA and 8s and above on each MCAT subsection." No matter what, you still need to raise your MCAT before you can get in.

Sorry, I put an extra letter in. Still, the information is the same. It's available on their website for anyone to read.

Yeah i figured you added an extra letter 🙂 anyway I read all of it already wayyyy back when I applied.. but i was just wondering how did you know about the program anda if you know anyone that was in it.. I'm just looking for personal experiences or second hand informations.. I am studying for the the august mcat too.. and approaching it a lot different this time around.. thanks for your help..
 
I wasn't in the program myself but I know some people who were. It seems like most people, even if they get an interview, end up in the post bacc program. However, when you consider the options, post bacc may not be a bad idea since you are guaranteed to be in the next year if you meet the GPA requirement.
 
Hey There...

You do stand a good chance of getting in to the medical program because they save spots every year for summer scholars and SURF applicants. It is a great program. If you want to know more, gimme a shout via PM. We really should talk outside of this thing because I don't come here too often.
