Hi! I have, but I haven't heard back yet.
I'm going to their open house on Tuesday and hopefully I'll have more information then.

hey! Did you end up going? If so, can you describe your experience or anything that might help? Thank you!
Hi! I apologize for not responding sooner, crazy work schedule.
Yes, I ended up going. This was my second Open House with them ( I also went last May).
A lot of people showed up and they combined people that were interested in their MHS and Osteopathic programs together. A first year medical student, Ryan gave us a quick tour of school (it's a closed campus-looks like a big 2 story maze). We also visited a cool virtual anatomy lab where you can dissect corpses and study different organ systems individually.
Then we had presentation given by a MHS director talking about the masters program itself. Here is a quick summary:
-During anatomy lab, the specimen are already pre dissected by 1st year medical students. Our job would be just show up and learn what's inside.
-MHS students don't have any overlapping classes with medical students, but the first year of med school would strongly mimic what was already learned at MHS.
-Same professors and sometimes even same tests are given.
-MCAT 500+ and GPA in MHS guarantees an interview (but in reality, the seat is yours)
-It is possible to work for school during the program
-Lectures are powerpoint heavy
I also briefly met their new Admissions director Tava and she said that the first application discussion should have been last week of September. So I'm guessing anyone who already applied should hear from the pretty soon.
LMK if you want to know anything else!
I'm looking to apply to their program this month. However... 495 MCAT. Will I have to retake for an interview/acceptance to their COM? :-(
Yes, they would ask you to retake it. They also suggest to take the MCAT before starting MHS since it’s a rigorous program. I’m taking mine in January.
They make exceptions if your application is good everywhere else. I know they have accepted people with GPA lower than what they are asking on the website.
Great info thanks for sharing! Do you know what gpa you need in MHS to get into the med school?? Is there a strong linkage to the med school with this program even though they don’t gurantee admission??
hi! As long as you maintain 3.5 gpa and have 500+ on the MCAT, you will be accepted to their medical school. Their interview is just a formality🙂
Thanks!! That’s great to hear. Would you say the classes are doable to get a 3.5??

From what I know it’s doable. I’m not a student yet myself but I know people struggle with their first tests but then recover. The style of testing is a little different in this program.
All I know is that August-September applications were reviewed 2 weeks ago but I haven't received any status updates. I was told to wait one more week 🙁
I see! Goodluck!
Oh, for sure. You apply and they review your DO app in December (at the end of your first MHS semester). There is no gap year
Can you please elaborate why you think the style of learning is a bit different?
An
And then are you allowed to drop out with one semester left or you finish the MHS then start medical school 2 months later?
Hi all,
Has anyone have any update about getting accepted to the program this cycle?
Has anyone have any update about getting accepted to the program this cycle?
Hey! I talked to them a few weeks ago and they said they will review applications around the 17th of January!
Does anyone know if you do the MHS program if you still need to meet all the ore reqs for the med school? If so do they accept online Orgo and labs?
Thanks!
Thank you!

I havent but they said it’d take 4-6 weeks to hear back from them.
When did they say that?
They told me when I first applied 6 weeks ago. I Just got the final decision today.
Did they email or call? I hope it was good news!!
Their website says take applications until April 30th! So no definitely not too late but they recommend to get your app in around this time (8 weeks prior)
I did with significantly lower stats (barely met the cut off) and a mid 500 mcat. Your stats are not a problem at all.
Ugh, I didn't even take the MCAT. I know its not required but still.
So you've been accepted? Congrats! Did them notify you via email / call?
Thank you and email!
How long did it take for them to get back to you? I applied today.
Couple months. You’ll likely hear back at the end of this month though.
