does anybody have slides yet
they're uh ....really cutting it close with the last round of admissions. Anyone else still waiting?
Like. I got some stuff to figure out regardless of admission status I'd just like to knowThat's what I was thinking!
Thank you for your response. Do you happen to know if there is a payment plan option?There are private loans available from Wells Fargo and Sallie Mae.
I believe they said 24th of Julydoes anybody know when the first day of class is and orientation. the calendar online is for the 2016 - 2017 academic year
Me too!!!Like. I got some stuff to figure out regardless of admission status I'd just like to know
Realistically, its very difficult for someone to go through all the preliminary stuff to get set up for classes to start 07/24 if we get accepted this coming week. I think theyre saving all the rejections to blast out this coming week because obviously rejection requires no work for the person to do. Id be surprised if anyone let alone me gets accepted this late in the game. Because they know that it takes work to get everything settled, find a place and all that in less than 2 weeks.Still waiting! Crickets. Called and emailed a handful of times this week. Got an automated response from one member of administration stating they were out of the office until Monday 7/10. I wonder if everyone else is out as well. I have a few important decisions about my future to make! Hopefully they get back to us ASAP, for those of us who are still waiting.
I called last week and someone told me they'd be getting back to us this week about decisions and uh, it's already Friday...
Hi all I know this is super early, but I received my MCAT score recently and am leaning towards applying to only postbacc programs and withdrawing my application for this cycle 2018-2019. I was wondering what my shot was at this program. Im from Boston, but go to Ohio State. GPA: 3.59, MCAT 497, ~120 hours hospital volunteering, 700 hours cancer genetics research, 60 hours shadowing, CNA certified, Greek life, Scholars, Honors & Scholars ambassador, Many clubs and different community service organizations, organic chemistry TA, some awards, and soon to be on a publication for lab
Your stats are perfectly fine for application minus that MCAT. Why not just do a retake and apply again?Hi all I know this is super early, but I received my MCAT score recently and am leaning towards applying to only postbacc programs and withdrawing my application for this cycle 2018-2019.

isnt that past their deadline for applying?I applied around April 25 and lot of others students applied around the same time and have already got their acceptance. I wonder what is taking them so long to decide? I am a transfer student from DO, so all my grades and most of the other stuff is calculated as well. I just hope that i get accepted but the chances look slim at this point.
They waive the deadline for DO students having their application transferred, because they won't accept it until you have been denied by the DO Program. Ms. Hewitt offered that to me, but I got my rejection just before the deadline and was able to have it transferred the day before their published deadline.isnt that past their deadline for applying?
I studied a ton for it, basically an entire semester, took a prep course and studied straight through the month of may. Not sure if it was nerves or if I'm just not the best standardized test taker. I'm not sure if my score would get much higher to be at a competitive level if taken againYour stats are perfectly fine for application minus that MCAT. Why not just do a retake and apply again?

also do you guys if the september mcat is accceptable incase i want to delay my exam ... just incase i emailed alisa hewitt
September is acceptable but not encouraged. It's going to be hard to balance studying for the upcoming courses and MCAT at the same time. They will tell you during orientation that GPA is #1 goal for Fall semester. I wouldn't jeopardize my GPA for MCAT re-study. I'd either take it before the program started or in January.
To all those waiting, I just got an email saying they were full.
Did you get the same email stating they were full?NVM just got one.

I'm staying on my parents plan.
I'm lucky there. My brother is in PA school, so my parents said that they would pay for both of our health insurance and car insurance until we turn 26 and they couldn't, or graduated, whichever comes first.Wish that was an option for me, too old and haven't been covered by my parents for a long time lol
Hello Everyone!!!
I was recently accepted and was wondering if someone could please send me a list of the books, since I do not have Facebook? I would greatly appreciate it! Also, any recommendations on apartments or loan providers? Do we have to use Sallie Mae or Wells Fargo or can we use others?
Thank you!
I know this might be a bit odd, but I have deleted my facebook and social media (time sink/distraction issues in the past). I know that people mentioned an official facebook group. Is there any crucial information that I'm missing by not being on their facebook group? someone mentioned a booklist? Can anyone forward that to me? I just thought they would've relayed important school related info through the VCOM email

For all of you thinking about doing VCOM's graduate certificate program... do it!! I'm currently halfway through the program and just got my acceptance to their DO program starting next fall. I know the 3.6 requirement sounds scary, but it's definitely doable if you start studying hard from day 1. I feel 100x more prepared for med school now, the professors are all really helpful and excited to teach, and the environment of Blacksburg is amazing. One heads up if you do get accepted: Don't get too attached to the VA campus if you're not from VA...they WILL send you to either Spartanburg or Auburn due to the demand for the VA campus.
Feel free to ask me any questions! Good luck everyone!

What stat is require to get accepted to this program. GPA and MCAT?
Thanks. Very helpful information.Minimum GPA required for acceptance is 2.9 science and cumulative. MCAT not required for admission, but I believe you're required to have taken it early in the Fall upon matriculation in the program. It's probably best to take the MCAT before the program starts so you can focus on attaining the minimum 3.6 gpa for matriculation to the DO program.
