Im not sure if it is true, but some other people on SDN heard the same. I believe the deadline is June 1. I sent an email and I'll let u know what they say. I did a quick search for "Barry University" on SDN. here are two threads that might help with some info:

I finished up at Barry this past Jan and when I was at there - there were two profs from Nova who taught histo and neuro. Both of these classes were identical to what the Nova med students get. The neuro class is now being taught by Barry faculty (he comes via UNECOM and TECOM) and the histo class is (afaik) still being taught by Nova faculty.

I forgot to let u know that the deadline is July 1st. (u probably already found out already).
Turns out my app is still not complete. they require recommendations from 2 science professors. I had crappy relationships with my science professors.... asking them for a recommendation is gonna suck.

Really? I thought there was no deadline as long as all info is recieved 30 days before class starts. Also, where did you hear that you need 2 rec letters? I thought only one was needed. Thanks!

the website isn't too clear on how many recommendations we need. I emailed Mr. Goulet, the program director, and he said that the 1 yr program requires 3 recommendations, 2 from science professors. And he was also the source for the July 1st deadline (which i think is ~30 days before the start of school anyway). Im not sure if you're applying to the 2 yr program or if the 2 yr program has a different deadline or recommendation requirement.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll be going there. Today I also learned that I got accepted to EVMS' SMP. My brother lives next to the school, and it's a med school I really want to go to (after completion of the SMP).
On the other hand, Barry is local to my family, and I have 2 lil sisters and a lil brother.... It'll be a tough choice, but I'm appreciative of the choice.
Good luck on your application. I filled out the online app around mid-April but wasn't complete until this week. I didn't know that 2 of the recs needed to be from science professors.

Dr. Lufti isn't any tougher than any of the other profs in the MA program - but that's just my opinion. Basically, it comes down to studying and taking the time to study. I approached Barry as my second chance to get better grades and also prove to myself that I was capable of doing well. I ended up doing really well and the program definitely helped me get into my first choice school. I was in the 2 year program - and I only took summer classes so I could finish sooner. If you enroll in the 1 year program - you have to take summer classes no matter what. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Barry - and South Florida is a really fun place to live. I had a little house about 5 minutes by bike from campus - and was able to ride to the beach in about 15 minutes. If you can - try to get a place near to school so you don't have to deal with traffic. If anyone wants specific opinions about areas to live - let me know.
