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?

don't work! don't have many other responsibilities unless you have to do them.
I went to a cut-throat university so I was used to the rigor of the program, but many of my peers were not and they ended up dropping. basically all the courses depend only on tests. like tests are majority of your grade if not all. also all exams happen the same week. so after 4 ish weeks of lectures, you have exams on like one week, monday to friday everyday. so it can be hard to study and do not procrasinate as it can be detrimental since all exams are the same week.

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?

i think so far 15 ish got in.
we started with 80 and ended with 55 students who graduated i think and then out of those prob half applied and half are doing a gap year. from getting the guaranteed interview to getting an A, it is a high chance!

For those asking, Some inside scoop is that 29 students of the MSMHS Class of 2022 who interviewed were accepted = 100% acceptance rate for those students (usually in past years it has been that 15 students get accepted outright, and then the remaining are on the Waitlist or get "Accept-Hold" wherein they are accepted but start in the next year's class).

This Fall 2023, 29 / 29 MSMHS Class of 2022 applicants who interviewed were accepted.
Overall, that would be 29 / 55 students are going to start TUCOM this July.

Has anyone heard a response back recently?

Nothing yet on my end. I'm considering reaching out to find out my application status since it has already been 4 weeks. Steven Davis said they were a bit behind during the info session but said to contact Naisha Bible if we've already waited 4+ weeks. When was your app completed?

they have a ton of graduations this week for pharmacy, DO etc.
Also, last week, they were reviewing msmhs students for the guaranteed interview, etc. so they are behind.
 
Has anyone emailed Naisha Bible this week and heard back? I reached out twice this week (for separate issues) and haven’t heard back

Yes for very same reason I really hope i get accepted for california one. Thank you.
 
I got an email that I was placed on the waitlist for the program 🙁
In the email I received it said I can send an update of your profile like transcripts, another letter of recommendation, or a personal letter of intent to Naisha.

I attended today's info session and they said they are extending the application deadline to July 1st. You can get expect an update up until the day before or the day of orientation which is July 25th.

They also mentioned that if it's been 4+ weeks and you haven't heard anything, to email them to let them know.

hope any of this helps and any feedback would be greatly appreciated 🙂

and congrats to those that have been accepted!!

I really hope so :xf: Did you mention you completed this program remotely or in person? Would you suggest completing a letter of intent since I am on the waitlist? That is the only thing I can update my application with since I am not taking any classes. I could possibly ask for another letter of rec to submit along with my letter of intent.

Do you think since they extended their application deadline, they probably still have a lot of seats left in the program and hope to fill them with more applicants??

yes do a letter of intent!
yea i think they have a lot of seats left. tbh the program used to be 50 and last year it went to 80. so IDK if they really have a set number

I don't think they make a fb group til closer to july. However, you can perhaps start a group me. We really connected on group me for the previous class.

congrats yall! lmk if you have any questions. I finished the program and am starting at TUCOM this fall.
Click to expand...
Thank you!! Were there any study resources that you found helpful? Anki?
I finished undergrad 5 years ago so I'm a bit nervous about diving into a rigorous coursework, so I'm doing my best to start preparing myself and getting organized.
 
Is anyone going to be renting a apartment and is looking to share housing please let me know. Or any recommendation for safe apartments. I am looking in Cordelia, Fairfield or even benicia. Thank you
 
bumblebea2009 said:
Are the decks shared with us during orientation? Or how do we receive them? I'm trying to get familiar with anki before starting the program 🙂
Click to expand...
so they actually connect u with past students and they share them. so basically me and my peers will end up sharing them
 
Does anyone know if this program is OOS friendly? Or do they have a stronger preference for CA residents?

it is oos friendly. honestly the acceptance rate to get into the program is high. Like its not competitive unless you have any red flags on your app.

mcat is in the 49x range and gpa in program was 3.3

Hey just wondering if your overall GPA was 3.3 or just your program GPA alone? I will probably be right at 3.0 after the program if everything goes well. The DO school looks at your overall GPA, right?
 
Hi! I was wondering if anybody applying after 6/1 heard back? Or if anyone knows how many spots are filled already??

Once you're in the master's program, they only evaluate your performance in the program (not your undergrad/overall GPA). If you meet the 3.0 GPA in the program and you have the 490+ MCAT, then you're guaranteed an interview.
 
hi, does anyone know if a 30 min commute from vacaville is doable while in the msmhs program?
 
anyone know if i can submit my aacomas app this summer and just update with msmhs grades later? Or do they look at MSMHS student apps to the DO program differently than everybody else's?

probably a lot since there is always traffic in vacaville and even fairfield. i would try to find closer to vallejo.

Click to expand...
I did aacomas for other schools and added touro in january once msmhs fall grades were in. I would recommend the same thing as they do look at apps differently. regular pool need a 500 + to get a secondary and we only need a 490+
 
For those in the WL, has anybody heard back? Also, does anyone know when the WL starts rolling?
