Forgive me if there's already a thread but I did not see one for next year's so I figure I'll start Is anyone applying there/have applied there already? I'm hoping to apply to the one year program.
Hi! I would love to know which medical schools (MD and DO) students were accepted into for the year immediately following completion of the program (other than EVMS). I am applying to the 1 year Med Masters, and am planning to apply to medical school the summer before completion of the program.I’m a past MedMasters student and current EVMS medical student what questions do you guys have?

What are the classes like and how are they structured? Any easy courses/extremely hard courses? Do you know anyone that has been able to successfully opt out upon matriculation?1. By far the biggest factor was gpa attain while doing the program. I know of no one who didn’t get accepted to evms who got a gpa >3.75. Personality would be the second biggest factor being well like and personable willl help but even more importantly pissing people off can pretty much guarantee you won’t get it.
After these two things like EC and MCAT come into play but your best bet to getting accepted is to do well in the program.
2. No I feel in-state/out-of-state doesn’t matter the class was pretty evenly split when we started and pretty evenly split when we got accepted, it may play a small factor but nothing major. A really important note is it is next to impossible to become a Virginia resident while doing this program. If you start the medical masters program as an out-of-state student you will in all likelihood be an out-of-state student if you attend EVMS for medical school. This sucks because EVMS is a rather expensive school for out-of-state students but the way I look at it is that taking an extra year to get into medical school is more expensive than having to be an out-of-state student at EVMS.
3. Honestly I don’t I have blocked out almost all of my experience from applying to medical school it’s seven horrible years I never want to think about again. What I would recommend is narrowing down your list as you would normally and then take the time to sit down and write out a generic letter asking schools if they entertain the students applying while currently enrolled in a SMP and then send this off as an email to every school. Once you hear back which schools will not entertain your application you should mark them off your list. Only personal advice I can give you is that a lot of California schools don’t seem to entertain applications from students currently in SMPs.
Feel free to ask any other questions you have I’m usually pretty open to answering most questions so long as they don’t require me to divulge any really personal information.

Was your PostBacCas verified? if not you have to wait for that first but once it's verified, it takes two weeks or a little lessApplied and was completed 2/15! Does anyone know how long they usually take to send their decisions?
I got accepted so you might hear back by friday!Yeah I actually applied before that, but PostBacCas verified me 2/15
They should have given you a list of things to make you more competitive. Do them and keep your fingers crossed, they accept students up to the day of matriculationWaitlisted....does anyone know how their waitlist movement looks like?
They have to send you your network credentials. I didn't get mine until I called them and told them I didn't receive them yet, I think there was something wrong with sending it out.Has anyone who has accepted admission received any of the supplemental paperwork via email? There are some hard deadlines for vaccinations and what not.
I got my credentials after 4 business daysHas anyone who has accepted admission received any of the supplemental paperwork via email? There are some hard deadlines for vaccinations and what not.
check your evms secondary portal tooCool, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll give them a call tomorrow morning.
The stats include the 2 years. So on average 90% of all studentsHi guys! I was wondering what the med school acceptance stats are like for people in the 2 year program. Do most of them (the ones that do well) get in during their 2nd years?
I can't really tell you which one to pick but i would tell you to look at the curriculums. I looked at Georgetown's webpage and it was a little hard to navigated (i'm still not sure if its 1 or 2 years). I don't find the course descriptions appealing but EVMS's courses look cool and actually excite me especially because i would be medical school classes. So i would say apply to both if you haven't.Need help deciding between this program and Georgetown's SMP. 507 MCAT, ~3.1 sGPA, ~3.2 cGPA. Good EC's, hopefully publication out within next year. Might retake the MCAT, but called admission's at EVMS and they said my MCAT was not "flagged" so it should be fine when applying next year to EVMS. Should I go to Georgetown simply for the name of the program or play it safer and grind it out here to have a better chance of an MD school?

Congrats! If you're in the area, you should check them both out in person because I'm not sure if there's a significant difference in consideration for both. Whichever school you would rather be at (if you matriculate directly) might be bestHey, thanks for the reply!
I am accepted into both programs. I just don't know whether medical schools would consider good performance in EVMS' medical masters program as highly as good performance in Georgetown's SMP (or whether the place you go for such a program matters too much at all). If schools do not care much, then I would much rather go to EVMS' masters because of its close linkage with the medical school.
Deadline is June or july, im not sureis it too late to apply now?
I just found out I got into RWJ MBS program, which is IS for me.
Is there any benefit to going to EVMS instead? I completed my application but did not send it in.
Thank you! So my application was marked complete 4/23, so 4 days!Yay congrats!! How long did they take to reach back with the decision?
Hello everyone! Just accepted my offer to EVMS 1 year program. Excited to start it. I have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to yet: Is there a gym at the school?
Also, looking for roommates and housing suggestions if anyone has any!
Former Med Master here; incoming MD student. The courseload is heavy, and material is released one week at a time generally. Any way you slice it, it is very involving. The first semester you will spend a lot of time in the Anatomy lab if you want to be successful, and the second semester dives into the details of each system (Skin, Bone, Muscle & GI). As far as EC's it completely depends on how much time you're hoping to devote to other things. You can do that if you manage your time, but it's tough. Don't worry about the gpa average. Instead worry about not getting any B's and trying to stay above the test average that is typically released after each exam. Contrary to what everyone will tell you, grades are not the only factor that is considered. You should strive to be professional, display a positive attitude and willingness to work, integrate yourself into the wider community, and attenuate whatever your weaknesses are. Be a strong, well rounded candidate. Lastly, understand that as long as you are successful in the program, you will become very competitive for a large number of schools upon completing your degree.Hey guys, I was just accepted into the 1 yr program. Stats: ~3.4 gpa, 506 mcat. I was looking into getting some more insight from previous students. What is the courseload like? Do you think it is manageable to do well in the program and still devote time to other extracurricular activities? I know that these programs in general are very rigorous and I'm willing to work hard but its still daunting to hear >3.75 gpa is what is considered competitive for entering into their med program after.
I would caution against trying to work while in the 1 year program. Again, it's not impossible, but even a weekend job will eat up a lot of your time in the long run. You don't want to do anything to put yourself at a disadvantage relative to your peers, in my humble opinion. Definitely join the facebook group! You can get on more person terms with future and former classmates, and you may also find that many of your questions have been addressed
I just got accepted to the 1 year program!
Is there any chance to work on the weekends? I don't want to have to take out living expense loans :'(
Does anyone who got accepted want to get acquainted like on the facebook?
I'm from Seattle, WA
I asked to join, but havent been approved yet. How long does it normally take?If you've been accepted already you can request to join the "EVMS MM One-year C/O 2019" page.
Same here, I haven't gotten approvedI asked to join, but havent been approved yet. How long does it normally take?
My only concern is, my application has been submitted but I am re-taking the MCAT in July and I'm not sure if they will still accept scores that late. Because I will not receive my score for the test until early august. Admissions told me that for the two-year program, they are only accepting scores until the first week of july. but since the one-year program application deadline is later, I'm wondering if they will take scores later.
