PSL 7030 is Physio II. As far as the other two, I don't know anything about them and I haven't talked to anybody that has taken them. Also, don't avoid Pharm just because I said it was hard. It really was an awesome class!

I know I just can only take so many because of my work schedule do they take say a.other biochemical class in stead of the one you mentioned? Like from the chemical or Bio department at the grad level? I got plenty of options In The winter but not in the fall

Hmm I haven't heard of any other biochemistry or chemistry classes. But, looking in my course guide I see some listed:
BMB 7320, 7330, and 7340
These are supposedly in the "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology" category. I tried to look them up but they aren't offered this semester, so I don't know their titles or anything like that.
So are you looking for Fall term class ideas?
I saw those BMB classes it sayd that they are only open to pHD students? Or does it matter to us.
Thanks for being so helpful!
Yes I am looking for ideas. I work at like 12-8 lol. Winter seems to be ok fall i have a few ideas but they arent offered through the med school. There are a few but not enough.

I don't know if they are only open for PhD students. But they were listed in my BMS program course guide as electives so I'd imagine we can get into them (maybe w/ instructor permission).
All the Fall classes I know of:
Physio I (PSL 7010)
Biochemistry (BMB 7010)
Advanced cardiovascular physio (probably requires Physio II first) (PSL 7600)
Neurophysiology (again, maybe has a prereq) (PSL 7660)
Principles of toxicology (maybe requires Pharm) (PHC 7410)
Drugs and the addictive process (PHC 6500)
General pathology (PTH 7000)
Molecular bio and genetics (MBG 7010)
Microbio (IM 7020)
Those are the ones that I have taken, am about to take, or know of people taking. There are probably more but hopefully that gives you some options for Fall classes!
How many hours per week do you recommend for studying? I am looking to work around 20hrs/week but don't want to compromise my grades.
I consider myself an efficient learner, and I was good with studying about 3 hrs p/ day with a couple extra each day the week before an exam.
I mentioned Dawn in an earlier post. She is the person who gives excellent advice when it comes to stuff like this. I will tell you what she told everybody- work if you absolutely have to, but work as little as possible and do not let it take the focus off of your grades. If you take this program, you HAVE to get A's if you want to get into medical school.
Personally, I worked about 12 hours per week and volunteered for 10 more. The work paid for my gas money and a little bit more. I took out student loans for everything else. I am in more debt than if I would have worked a bit more, but I also got the grades I needed, so choose your work schedule wisely!
Thank you! I plan on meeting with her but I really wanted to get a student's perspective.
Hi Everyone, I'll be applying for the winter 2013 semester ...
I'm thinking to take: IM 7010 (2 credits) , Physio II (4 credits) and possibly Endocrinology (BullOverBear mentioned it's super easy) ...having said that I'm just curious about the course code for Endocrinology class and how many credits is it? I don't see it listed under "CURRICULUM & DEGREE REQUIREMENTS"
Also to BullOverBear: what are your comments about IM7010 and PHC6500 ?
Thanks

Who is the instructor and if I do take that Ill have to take IM 7020 which coincides with work. I probably could work something out around then but Id rather avoid it altogether.
Have you heard anything about Path 7000?

Karen Beningo is the instructor and yah you could work it out with BMB maybe (that's 7 credits)
Path 7000 no idea..i dont see it listed under the CURRICULUM & DEGREE REQUIREMENTS...is there a list of the classes somewhere else i'm not aware of ?
I cant do BMB I work from 1230-830.
Joining the discussion late--apologies.
A few questions I didn't see answer to I'm this thread:
- this is an SMP, correct?
- which semesters can you start the program and how do the application cycle run for each?
- is there an official (or unofficial) linkage with the SOM that places you in the next years medical class or are you only given an interview, etc...?
- is there a gap year with the program if you are accepted into the SOM?

Yes and no. It Does have success with getting people competitive for Med school and accepted. From what kelshie said its also viewed favorably too. There definitely unofficial linkage to Wayne granted you have above 3.7 for at least 20 credits upon which they will release you from the program. Unofficial meaning its no guaranteed but I never heard no one not getting into Wayne when doing well in this program.

Thank you. And is Wayne State a "state school,"/is there a large difference between in-state and out of state applicants and matriculants for both the BMS and the SOM?
Also, do you have any information on the application cycle/when to start looking for next year's program?

Hey everyone,
I am applying for Winter 2013, I applied in Fall but was not accepted so I figured I would try again for winter. I have around a 2.9 GPA. I applied with a DAT score and I haven't taken the MCAT yet. I wanted to wait to raise my GPA with the program and then take the MCAT. I have a DAT score of 16 but I might take the GRE. What GRE score do you think is needed to get in?
Thanks

I don't know I know Kelshie said hers wasn't very high and she got in fine.
How long did it take to hear back after you applied?
when did you apply and what were your stats? It did take a pretty long time for a response from them. 😕

I was accepted recently for winter admission. However I am an out of state student from Texas having done undergrad in California at a UC. How helpful will this program be for me if I want to apply broadly for medical school? This is assuming I continue my GPA trend from my last two years of undergrad at 3.7+. I have a 31 mcat if that helps.
I did my first 3 years in community college getting C after C in my prereqs. At UC I got As in classes like biochemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chem, etc. However my overall GPA is still super low( around 3.15).
I get what you mean. I have an MS in cell bio. But my GPA is 3.27. Its higher than my uGPA which is like 2.87. I would say check with a few advisors and I don't think it would hurt to take the program if you continue the trend. I have an upward trend but obviously it needs to be better. I also still need to take the MCAT.
My premed advisors at university told me an SMP would be very beneficial so I think I'm definately doing an SMP. The question is whether to start wayne st now or wait some more for word back from Georgetown, BU, Tulane, Tufts, etc. which all start summer or fall.
I was thinking of possibly doing 20 credits at wayne by end of summer so I can send out an application in August by latest.

Does anyone know why the linkage is only ~33% to WSU. Are people not getting 3.7+ in the program or are they applying elsewhere?
Where did that number come from?
Do people usually live downtown or commute? Is it safe to live around the school?
I'm guessing a lot of people commute, but the area around the school is safe. Midtown is a great neighborhood and there's a large police presence around the campus at all times.

I'm commuting from Plymouth. I went to orientation yesterday, had my advising session today, and registered for classes when I got home.
I'm in Patho, Immuno, and Neuro. Only 8 credits, but my friends who are in the program or have completed it all told me to take it fairly easy my first semester.
