Do they contact you by phone if you're off the waitlist? Or they just send you an admissions packet? They have my cell number but I'm out of town for a while. I guess I should email them to contact me by email.

I am still on the med. school waitlist (and accepted to the med masters) and would like to avoid wasting unnecessary money re-applying if I don't have to. Any advice would be great.
Thanks

You should reapply if your application has improved significantly. Otherwise it would be a waste of time and money. Congrats on your Med Masters acceptance. Consider the Med Master lifestyle: working your ass off, being involved in the community, and making great friends. then get accepted to the 4-yr program and become a TA or do research as a first year student, since you'll have free time. If you TA or tutor, you'll reinforce a lot of the stuff you learn as a M1. So you'd kick a$$ on the boards. I see us as an elite bunch.

chaeymaey said:So Tooth, can you explain the process of getting in after interviewing in March? I thought it was a waitlist thing where y'all find out later in the summer. Also, do you know the average med master GPA's of the incoming students, as in what is the kind of GPA you have to make in the master's program to get into the med school.

Thanks
reversescorpion said:Just work hard. Don't kiss a** cause you will just annoy your fellow classmates and believe me, it will not help a single bit. All that matters is that you work hard and get good grades. If you beat the medical class average on almost every exam you are in good shape.

sgod34 said:Kylahs...why do you think the waitlist will hav less movement than normal....also how many people would you guess will be accepted from the waitlist
kylahs said:The list moves because of at least two things: people holding an acceptance (or otherwise an application) to the SMP finally get into a 4-year MD program, or if these people do not get into an MD program, they may decide to attend another SMP. By us letting the world know that the EVMS SMP is indeed one of the best (if not the best) SMP, the latter would be affected, thus slowing down the waitlist movement.
There's nothing really you can do about it though. In the end, it might even things out, because of good ol' competition. Other SMPs may improve their program because of this phenomenon, because of the fact that their top applicants are choosing EVMS over their own program.
what up Fusion! so i guess u've heard the great news. =) U've definitely met Tooth -- he was the kingpin of the Med Masters. Still unsure? He's the one who is seriously involved with one of the hottest ladies in the school!
TiggidyTooth said:lol...i may be the largest med master (and baldest) but certainly not the kingpin. The lady will be very glad you said such nice things. Who could this fusion fellow be?

bikedoc1021 said:okay...here is a question for those of you who have gone through the program...i am currently still waitlisted at 2 med schools but have been accepted to the med masters program. what i am wondering is...how did you go about showing your acceptance to the med masters program on your amcas application? obviously, i need to apply as early as possible for next year, but not having started the program yet i dont have any transcripts, grades, etc. so how did ya'll make it clear you were accepted to the program on amcas? thanks for the help.
sgod34 said:tooth, is it normal to have to movement on the waitlist yet? do you think this means not many people will get in off the waitlist? thanks
yoyo13 said:for those in the program, when are you going to submit your AMCAS?
PackLax said:I JUST started my AMCAS for 2007. I was wondering what we put in for the course work section for EVMS. Do we put in the courses we WILL BE taking this next year or what??
kylahs said:sure (click on the box that says future/current course)
sgod34 said:im really frustrated also, i know at least 3 people that withdrew there acceptances...and i hate calling because i feel like they get annoyed....i guess patience is key
