Hey, I applied in early January and haven't heard back either! I would say don't lose hope! They usually start sending most acceptances after spring break (they go on spring break next week I believe). Mr. Steven Davis did say they would be ramping up the application review process within the next few days so I think we should be hearing back within the next few weeks. Best of luck to you and don't be discouraged!
Nice!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! ^_^. Keep it up. I haven't heard from her yet but I will continue to check. so yeah but anyway. You got this. Hopefully we will hear some good news soon.
The good thing is that you both applied early. So that should definitely be in your favor. I was verified just on March 10th (so pretty late lol). Oh I didn't know that they send out acceptances after spring break. I'm gonna pray and hope we all get in.
March is still a good application submission! Remember the deadline is June (they sometimes extend to July) so don't stress about your submission. There could be a chance that your application is being reviewed at the same time as mine! People have applied the day before the deadline and gotten in! I assume they send out most acceptances after spring break because that's what I read from previous MSMHS threads. Best of luck to everyone, lets keep up the positive vibes!
congrats! may i ask what your stats are?

Hello, I was also accepted today! Completed around 1/21 🙂. See you guys in the Fall!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope you get accepted!
Hmm I don't know about that! Haha.
Just messaged you
Thank you so much!!! This was very helpful! I‘m still waiting to hear back from admissions, but if I get in I may have some follow up questions for you. Thanks again!
That sounds good to me! They are on a rolling basis though so the sooner you submit, the better! There is also a verification period too, so keep that in mind but if you're applying at the end of the month you should be good to go.
I don’t know if it’s been announced yet. From the orientation website provided on the acceptance it says coming soon.
Usually, it's the first week of August. Orientation is two days long and then classes start the day after. I think orientation will be August 1st and 2nd and then we start classes August 3rd
Thank you! Just trying to plan out the rest of my summer before we have to buckle down.
if you go look at the orientation calendar for the 2020-2021 class, you can kind of get a feel for what the schedule is:
Ah thank you for the info! I paid my deposit yesterday! It was between this program and another out of state program that I was accepted to but my family lives in Vallejo so I chose to be closer to family. Did you reserve your seat?
Yes, I've also paid my deposit to reserve my seat. Grew up in the Bay area for a portion of my life before moving to another part of Cali. Looking forward to coming back to the Bay, it's always felt like home! Looking forward to embarking on this journey in August
Yes! More classmates. See everyone in the Fall.
Hey a_cruel,
Hey, you should apply as soon as you can this month. It's not late and I believe this is the time where they are actively reviewing applications!
It was pretty redundant info from the last two sessions. An interesting fact I found was that around 30 students from laste years Master's program were accepted into COM which is a pretty significant stat. If there's anything specific your looking for, I can try to answer but they will be holding another info session next month. They don't know if Master's will be completed in person next semester as they are still actively deciding. Gov Gavin Newsom plans to have Cali open by mid June so finger's cross for in-person classes and us meeting in person!
*small detail-- most of the 30 students were originally put on accept/hold but then eventually were accepted into the class the same year! I think a few accept/hold students were moved to this upcoming year
I wish they provided us with exact statistics, I feel like a lot of these SMP’s just give estimations
Do accept/hold students take priority over the waitlist students? I'd be interested to see what the acceptance will be like this year for SMP students especially with the increase in applicants due to COVID
Hey,
Makes sense. You can just send the AACOMAS application to Touro-CA later on?
Yea you just add them on AACOMAS later in the school list section. I’d probably still just send it to them early also and let them decide if they wanna hold it till later
At the info session yesterday they were saying that would want to look at Fall semester grades from Master's before reviewing the application so I probably won't send till later. I think Master's students get put in a different application pile than other students
For the most part I believe so. They tend to keep a lot of admissions related stuff like this hush hush, but based on the timing of students' acceptances, I think that they tend to prioritize their Master's students over the regular applicants (although this is not the case everytime).
I applied to many other med schools while I was in the Master's program. Actually I think by the time July/August came around, I had submitted most of my primaries/secondaries to other schools. I had actually submitted my primary for Touro CA, but not my secondary. I decided to join the Master's program instead of submitting my secondary. It turned out to be a good decision.
I have always supported complete transparency in these kinds of programs. I am not sure why they appear so secretive. I have gotten most of my stats from recent classes based on just speaking to them but obviously this is not the most accurate.
Congrats!!! I'm on the waiting list. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing? Do people on the waiting list get in to this program? What should I do until then? I'm sad but I'm happy that I didn't get denied. Again Congrats a_cruel!!! I am so happy for you. ^_^
Based off what I’ve read on here, a few people tend to get in from the waitlist. Hopefully this year is no different. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya
Are you planning on attending or waiting to hear from other schools?
i'm still waiting on one more school
