Hi! How did you tackle some of the program-specific questions without sounding to cheesy? I feel like I sound like a commercial for the MSMHS program but it is truly my top choice for SMPs/post-baccs
Great!
Are the questions still goal-making, and what you expect to achieve after graduating from this program? I personally think you can be a little cheesy since mine was a bit cheesy. I heard from my classmates that there was a MSMHS informational panel with current students recently. Were you able to attend that?
I wasn't able to attend because I was at my lab job but those are the questions! I'm trying to not have too much a predicted response, would you be able to read through my responses?
Sure! Just PM it to me and i'll read it
I submitted first week of February and just heard back today!
so i am a remote student, meaning i am doing the entire program online. I am not sure if that will be an option in the fall, but basically this year, we had the option to do the entire program remote, or hybrid (some classes in person and some online). But from the people I know, most live with roommates. Financial aid is through FAFSA, so fill that out and you will get the option that are available.
Hello! Do you have any tips on how we can prepare a little before starting the program?
I would say just get organized! Get a planner, limit your extra curriculars like if you volunteer or have a job (quit). Also if you plan to apply to start right after you finish the program then I recommend submitting aacomas and have mcat done and get the 490+ so then you can focus on the program cuz you need a 3.0 in the program to get that guaranteed interview.
aacomas allows updates. i submitted my aacomas in may, took mcat in june, did secondaries and stuff for other schools in july. started msmhs program in august and i did not add touro yet since the deadline for touro isn't til march for us but its good to have stuff done before hand and also to apply to other schools (i would only do that if your mcat is like 498 or higher for DO and 505 or higher for MD.)
Depends on if you already have everything done like mcat and personal statement and etc. also when you want to start, so like if you wanna do the program and then start the following fall then you have to submit app by like feb while in the program and you interview in May. If you wanna take a gap year then you don’t apply til May for the following cycle and you interview in like Nov
group me, someone usually makes it and posts it in the facebook group and on here.
you need a 490 mcat to get the guaranteed interview along with 3.0 gpa in the program.
you do not need an MCAT score to apply to the MSMHS program however you need the MCAT to apply to TUCOM. So if you dont take it before you start the masters program you're most likely going to have to take a gap year after the masters to study for the mcat just because it's too difficult to study for the mcat during the program.
yea which is why i said you need a 490 for the guaranteed interview (meaning for the COM program)
Congrats!! My app was just marked complete today. How long did it take to get your acceptance from when you got the complete email?
Thank you! I submitted my app 3/19 and it was completed by 3/22. Got my acceptance today.
they are all multiple choice. the only short answer is anatomy lab exams which you write the name of structures
not sure but the people who interview, like 90% ish get in.
Touro! Arcom has some stuff I’ve heard like the med school
What do you mean has some stuff?
The board pass rate is lower and admin issues etc. tbh touro hasn’t had any issues. I’m a current msmhs student there
I just finished up my second year at ARCOM. I did the MSB program and I think it helped me a lot especially during first year. It was nice to just review the material because it is mostly the same. I am in the top quartile of my class. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Best of luck.
Same! I’ve been religiously checking the forum especially since my second recommender delayed my app submitting the recc 🥲
Lol I've been refreshing my email non stop. Hopefully we get a response this week. I attended the info session last week and heard there are plenty of seats left so that was a relief.
Same, this wait is killing me. I am constantly checking my email
Congrats!! How hard was the program for you? Also do you know on average how many of the msmhs students got into tourocom who applied?
Congrats on your acceptance! We hope to be in your place by the end of the program lol. Do you have any tips for doing well in the msmhs program?
