I called Brenda and she said they don't start looking at applications until May/June! @tinatani_
Oh really? That seems crazy late :/
I know, I am very nervous as well. I really want to be at Wayne State for my masters. Are you all in-state?
yes, I am! I'm currently there for my undergrad and will be graduating in May what about you?

Does anyone know if there is a cap for the program?
I was under the impression they do, not sure what it is though
My year had 80 students, if that's what you mean by "cap"
Sorry, I don't check SDN too often. Yes I am!
Yes I did. Thank You!!

@rxailagan if possible, we'd love to hear updates! i'm trying to get a better sense of how many students from BMS matriculate into a US MD/DO school.
I'd say 75% of the people I know got into their professional school of choice. The people who didn't either applied late or made a dillusional school list/were "too good" for DO.

Won't have any updates for a while but will do!
LOL too good for DO, with the competitiveness for medical school these days that's crazy. Honestly MSUCOM is my dream school.
Thank you! 🙂
Honestly, I was going to submit after my summer term class, but I'm getting very nervous as well, planning on submitting soon even though Brenda said it would be okay if I submitted at the end of June. I guess I'll have to update when new grades come thru. I was told that the committee only meets aprox. once a month, so maybe they haven't gotten to your app yet? I would give them a call, they are super nice and very helpful. Have you applied to other programs?
yes I have but I did call and just got to leave a message for Brenda. I emailed her a few times but she never emailed back :/
Call the other number found on the bms page, I believe her name is Jennifer and is also very helpful! They don't respond via email for some reason.
which one? I believe there's two right?
I spoke to Brenda this afternoon. There is no cap, I used the 8799 number!
ah so they don't have a set amount of spots? I'm getting anxious honestly.

nope, no cap! I found it easier to reach them by phone during the afternoons around 2-3. I would call and see what the status of your application is
I was told to make it straightforward. I did not tailor it to a personal statement that could be used for medical school.
I was curious to see if anyone heard back? Also does anyone know typically how long it takes to know if you got in or not?
I heard back a while ago, I want to say about
April - I submitted my application in Feb. I wouldn't be too worried if you haven't heard back yet...
@tinatani_ did you hear back?
yes but I accidentally submitted for the wrong term so I had to transfer everything over so hopefully I'll get in! I talked to someone on the committee and he said I'm on the edge, its just my mcat score they're worried about but I plan on retaking that anyway!
Have you heard anything?? I applied on may 19 and still no word.
Anyone know how many people have been accepted already?
67 I believe

we should hear back by the end of June/early July according to the office. I applied June 1 but haven't heard back yet either :/
Anyone know what type of elective courses we are allowed to take?

Did you get in? Most people I hear wait until orientation but I'll upload a sample schedule once I get home
Yeah I got in! I heard from them on May 3rd, but I finished my application back towards the end of February. It took them a really long time to get back to me, so I wouldn't worry if you haven't heard back yet! From what I've been told, they usually do their own thing and take their time.
I would really appreciate the sample schedule, thank you so much!

Thank you! Where did you find this information? I know there is a list of the classes we are required to take but I just wasn't sure what a typical schedule looks like.
