I just got accepted and interested
When did you apply?
Congrats 🎊🎉 and I’m a potential roommate . Dm me
At what price range are you comfortable ? Dm me
GPA benchmarks and very easily attainable! Especially fall, as I though fall was much easier than spring semester.
According to the email they recently sent, OMABS spreads out the program to within two years and only gives a guaranteed interview (not an evaluation by the MABS-to-DO Interview Committee) after meeting benchmarks
I sent 2 emails and left a voicemail for Alisa Hewitt and still haven’t heard back. I was told by Sheila Ballard that I’d have an answer by June 1st so im at a loss for what to do even now
I also was sent an email on April 26th saying my application went into final review but haven't heard anything back... not sure what's going on.
Not sure how helpful this is but I had emailed the dean and he said that they're still working through the final applications so it may just be taking longer than expected?
I know someone who worked on and off and they made it successfully. But still, strongly not recommended
Thank you for that information!! I believe it’s possible with balance and strong time management.
Hello, I just got accepted into the program. Are you still looking for a roommate?

Bummer so there’s no real linkage with the online MABS program? Do you know if you could do this program in a year timeframe? Any other info you can share on this program? Thanks!
You can complete it in a year or two years. The benchmarks would need to be met half through the program for the one year choice. So in December/January. You would conduct a full medical school interview sometime in January at one of the four campus locations. The classes are the pretty much the same between both MABS and OMABS and it’s broken up into six eight-week terms. That would be 2 different courses every eight weeks versus the fall/spring semester in MABS.
^ Yes, most of the details of OMABS were just mentioned there, thanks! Refer to this statement as well: "MABS is offered over ten months through two semesters, OMABS is offered via six 8-week terms, with two courses offered per term. Students can opt to take both courses each term and complete the program in 11.5 months, or take one course per term and complete the program in 23.5 months."
I’ve heard from past students that people have gotten off the waitlist as late as the week before the program starts! I would just be prepared for that and maybe keep a look out of a potential place to stay in the meantime. A lot of the apartments nearby tend to fill up fast.
So there are people who meet the benchmarks and still don't get accepted?
Yes, there was a few.
hmm, this seems suspicious
Do you know if they require students to resubmit their aacomas application? Also, do you know these people personally, is it their interview they blew?
I do know these students personally. They met December benchmarks and then something went “wrong” in the interview stage and they were rejected for this cycle.
It’s based on where your live/went to undergrad. If you live/went to school in the Appalachian area, then you’ll be placed at the va campus, sc takes those from that area and then all other areas outside of this region go to the other two campuses. They made it pretty clear that unless you have extenuating circumstances you won’t likely be able to change campuses.
