I'm hearing that no EVMS acceptances have gone out yet. I would guess this is because the flurry of acceptances during finals last year was a huge distraction that cost MMs exam points. In particular, EVMS started giving the shelf exam (standardized NBME proctored official thing) for physiology last year, and results weren't fabulous. So I wouldn't be surprised if effort was expended to help folks focus through the last week.
Yes - this is running about 2 weeks later than last year, by design, see above.
Probably.
Yes.
Correct impression.
Because spots open up in batches of different sizes and the admissions committee doesn't meet every day or on the same day every week.
Of course spots open up after May 19. Why wouldn't they? Spots open up until the day school starts.
I'll be calling you Spock assuming I figure out who you are.
No, after your interview the committee decides on you. The waitlist is baked by April. The committee meets regularly, until school starts, to move people off the waitlist into any open spots. It's just a normal meeting in a normal room with a boring process that they've been doing the same way for decades, but if you watch the med masters fret and wring their hands and mill about in a panic over how confusing and scary and wild and random and mysterious they think it is, you'd think they're electing a pope.
Awesome! Congratulations to all of you. Keep the updates coming!
30 is good. It's not an old score, correct? Exam was no more than 2 years ago?
February-ish through April-ish. No apparent advantage to going earlier vs. later.
They won't check your service plan.
12.5 is adequate. There are a lot of images and video to go through, over and over, so bigger can be advantageous. But not at all necessary, and harder to carry around.
I was actually wondering the same thing, although my MCAT is a 28 and evenly distributed. From reading back, it seems like by accepting you into the MM program, EVMS is basically saying they are willing to take you as is, as long as you prove yourself in the program and don't have any major personality issues. So, retaking the MCAT if you are already accepted to the MM program seems futile if you are hoping to matriculate to EVMS, and it should only be retaken to improve your application to other schools. Am I accurate on this?
Use of a CD drive is almost a never event. Dropbox & Google Docs are pretty much where everything goes. Even the "M1 Essentials" CD doesn't come as a CD anymore.
The answer is about 30 posts back. 20 out of 28 so far.Anyone know how many people from this year's MM class were accepted in to the medschool? (Hopefully it's as high as years previous)
How to figure this out:Hello! I have been accepted into both EVMS SMP and UPenn postbacc programs. I just wanted some insight into which program would be the most useful to me. I graduated with a non-science degree but took all the prerequisite science courses. My sGPA is only 3.0. I am leaning towards EVMS but still having uncertainties.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Yes.
If your GPA/MCAT/ECs/LORs/essays are reasonably competitive, and EVMSMM is the cherry on top, then go nuts. One way to tell if this describes you is that you applied before, and you got interviews and/or waitlists.
EVMS fully expects you to apply elsewhere. In particular, Solhaug/Meyer are sympathetic about the cost for out-of-state students and are surprised when you don't apply to your state's school(s).
Well, based on my first app year, when I applied to 36 MD schools and only got one interview at my state school, with a GPA too low for me to be in the same zip code as acceptees, and spent a few thou for nothing, the answer is "it depends".
