Hey,
I have a question regarding the classes and how they will be utilized in the AMCAS/AACOMAS application. Since these courses are not for a master's degree, but are post-bacc, are they still integrated with your undergrad GPA, or are they used as graduate level classes, used for graduate level GPA? I have tried to do research on this and am unsure. If anyone knows the answer to this question that would be great!
Thanks!

Yes that is true I was looking at the post from vcom post bac last year. Most had them already... i need this acceptance so I can be done with all this anticipation lol
I received an email from Dr. Brian Hill yesterday stating they are only 50% full right now so will be accepting quite a few more students. They cap out at 100 for enrollment. So for those still waiting to hear, that's encouraging news!

Did they tell you that your mcat score was good enough to meet the benchmarks of the program to guarantee acceptance to the med school or that you would need to retake it?
They didn't tell me anything but the minimum is 500 so I probably would have toDid they tell you that your mcat score was good enough to meet the benchmarks of the program to guarantee acceptance to the med school or that you would need to retake it?

Congrats! I was hoping to see an acceptance from VCOM but instead got one for a different MS this morning! Still hoping to hear from VCOM though.
Thanks... How is everyone paying for tuition and living expenses?

Congrats on the acceptance! I also have a question, if you don't mind. Was the last transcript you sent in because you were taking a required course when you applied? I applied before I finished my coursework this semester and I'm wondering if they'll want an updated transcript since I wasn't taking any pre-requisite courses. I haven't heard anything back from them.
Thanks for any info and good luck!
Gonna apply for a loan probs through sallie May or my bank or something. I need to get on that though! Anybody else have better options for funding?Thanks... How is everyone paying for tuition and living expenses?

Yeah! I'm thinking of trying at Cedarfield. It's through the same rental agency as the Knollwood properties and it's only 5 minutes from the school!

A 2 bedroom is $876-970, a one bedroom is $772-834. It also comes with all major appliances, and is pet friendly.

Just put in my application today for a one bedroom at fox croft! It's a five minute drive to VCOM, but a little cheaper and pet friendly and only open to grad students so fingers crossed!N

My AACOMAS application didn't have Fall 2015 grades since I applied before that semester was over. When my application was transferred to the post bac program I was told I needed to send in Fall 2015 grades and Spring 2016 courses. I was finished with pre reqs and they had all of those grades regardless of Fall 2015 transcript.Congrats on the acceptance! I also have a question, if you don't mind. Was the last transcript you sent in because you were taking a required course when you applied?
