This is what the website says: Applicants are required to self-report all standardized test scores within the PostBacCAS application. If you are applying for the ACMS program with MCAT scores, you also are required to self-report any additional standardized test you have taken including GRE, SAT and/or ACT scores.
Good luck! It was far less stressful than I expected. Be able to talk about your application, other than that it was just a fun conversation.
I believe so.
I thought they didn't require an official transcript for the application?
Was this ACMS or ACHS?
ACMS!
I apologize, this was for ACHS.
Congrats! Can I ask you what the diff is bw ACMS and ACHS? I'm wondering if I should apply for ACHS as well :/
I also have the same question. I've heard that both ACHS and ACMS has linkages to medical schools and I know that ACHS offers MCAT prep. If anyone can expand, please quote this! I didn't apply to ACMS bc I passed the deadline for CASPER test.
ACMS has the conditional acceptance and ACHS Doesn’t making it much less competitive. ACHS has linkages but it’s still really hard to link MD and they only have 2 MD linkages
Is there still a glide year with ACHS? And is there a degree associated with it?
If you link there is no glide year. The program can be a certificate but then you won’t be eligible for financial aid but you will be if you do the program and don’t get the certificate
Yea that's what I was told in my interview. Do you know if there is really any benefit to having the certificate? I feel like I would prefer financial aid and no certificate but maybe I'm missing something?
How do you link? What is the probability of linking? And do you get to choose what med school you want to link with? I don't see much info on it online, sorry for the questions! I just don't see how ACHS (since matriculation isn't guaranteed) is better than other SMPS (like georgetown, loyola, etc where you actually obtain a degree)
You can only apply to 1 school for linkage and you must be nominated. You must meet the minimum requirements such as a 3.3 undergraduate gpa previous to the program, 1 mcat with a 509+ and sat with a 1350 for Temple. The only other MD is SUNY in Brooklyn. The MD schools are hard to link and they typically see 1-3 link through the program per year. More likely to link DO with PCOM, but with that linkage you aren’t give a written agreement. They say that have a great track record with people getting into med school after the program not through linkage though.
Nope not yet. I'm wondering how long I should wait before I can safely assume I didn't get in 🤔
I thought they were allowed? I could be wrong though.
Thanks so much!
Nah, I only know about ACHS :/
If May 15th was the deadline to apply I feel like they're gonna have at least two more interview cycles. They for sure send rejections though right?
