Honestly bro if you get your mcat up to a 507 you’re golden for DO if you’re open to that.

Called this morning to see what my status was; they said everything is done via email and if they decide you are on waitlist or holding the application, you will hear back like a week or so before orientation/classes.

Will they tell you if you are on the holding/waitlist? If so by chance did they mention when? I’m just wondering since I haven’t heard back anything at all.
 
Been following this thread for a while, and officially rejected from the UNTHSC program, but on the plus side I did receive an admission from TTUHSC El Paso! Although UNT had been my first choice, I'm happy to be given the opportunity to improve my chances to med school! Just curious whether anyone else in this thread got into El Paso? Good luck to everyone else starting at UNT!

@Luke SKy @typo456 ...
Congratulations to you, I hope you both do well in the TT Post Bacc program.
 
I know it's too late to apply, but do you guys know if they took sub 3.0 GPAs? I have a 2.8 w/ 511 MCAT, but was told by an advisor that I wouldn't be able to get into this program.

You’re the ideal candidate for this program to be honest. Apply early next year and you’re in for sure.

I did not see there was an official cut off score for GPA so I think you should apply next year if you're still interested in the program.

Lol you are very hopeful I see lol. That's good. I really hope you are able to land a seat in their program. It really sucks sitting around waiting for these different schools to tell us we are accepted/rejected, but it's just a part of the process. Happy Tuesday to all you hopeful yet patient students.

I have basically planned out what to do because I have accepted I am probably not getting in. Sucks but there is some peace with keeping low expectations.
 
Just for you guys’ information Texas A&M’s Biomedical Science deadline isn’t until June 1st for the fall. Also, ARCOM has a new masters program that costs only 5k.

I guess I’ll apply to both those programs.

It seems like a pretty good program. I'm going to contact them today to get more information regarding this program.

Thanks - I'm going to look into the A&M one. I contacted the ARCOM one and the reason it's 5k is because it doesn't qualify for federal aid/FAFSA at this time...just FYI.

Are you serious? 😵
Wow, that's crazy. I just talked to the director for like 30 mins, he didn't mention that to me at all. NO FAFSA sucks . However he gave more insight.
This is their first time running this program, they expect to see more than 70% of the 50 students accepted into the MSB Matriculate, the tuition altogether is about $7300. $5000 tuition, $2300 fees, services, and background check. MCAT 487 cutoff, they look for upward trend in grades, no MCAT prep course, but the MSB program should help you perform better as a whole.
:meh: I was inclined to apply due to relatively low cost of tuition, but I certainly can't pay $7000+ out of pocket and still pay for room, board, food, gas, car maintenance. 🙁

I still have my email from them (ARCOM) dated 3/27. It reads:

"Unfortunately you will not be able to utilize federal student aid for our program this year. We are unable to have Title IV funding until we graduate our first class, so that will be available to students for the next cycle. That is why we have dropped the cost of the tuition, to help aid for those that will need to secure scholarships, personal loans or use their own money."

Welp, I guess I can't submit an app.
 
Lol at that point , that school isn’t worth it. Like who do you know that has 7k lying around like that?
 
I applied for UH on the 15th of April and got denied today! UNT is the only school left. If not I’ll apply for more SMPs.
