I suggest that past results should not be viewed as predictive. EVMS MM students will continue to get into EVMS MD in bulk. EVMS MM students will continue to get into other US MD schools in bulk. Whether you will be one of those EVMS MM students is not a function of getting an EVMS MM acceptance. It's much more complex than that. End of story.
I strongly recommend starting a new EVMS MM thread. This one is historical.
Hey folks, I'm retiring from commentary on the EVMS med masters. The program I did in '10-'11 has changed enough that my experience/advice is no longer relevant. <edit> I've spent a completely ridiculously huge amount of time in this thread, and I need that time to spend on other things, ie the 2nd year of med school.</edit>
Things that haven't changed: EVMS is an accredited US MD school with a stated and demonstrated passion for community service, and match lists that hold up well under scrutiny. The student body is friendly and supportive, and is frequently inspiring. The faculty, on average, is open and available and works very hard. I personally have high career aspirations and have found tremendous support and encouragement within EVMS. There are no obstacles before me that aren't mine to overcome. None of this goodness is denied to the med masters during their graduate work at EVMS. All of the commentary in this thread about Ghent and Virginia residency considerations and cost of attendance is still valid.
But what you all come to this thread to figure out is this: exactly how likely is it that I will get into med school, either at EVMS or another US MD school, immediately after completing the EVMS MM program? The answer to this question used to be very clear. It is no longer clear. I suggest that past results should not be viewed as predictive. EVMS MM students will continue to get into EVMS MD in bulk. EVMS MM students will continue to get into other US MD schools in bulk. Whether you will be one of those EVMS MM students is not a function of getting an EVMS MM acceptance. It's much more complex than that. End of story.

Best of luck to you.
In your opinion, what has changed so much since when you attended? Why are things no longer clear, and why is this thread now historical?
Thanks
This just recently occurred to me and I figured someone on here might know - Is it heard of or possible for med masters students who continue on to EVMS for med school to still complete the program within 4 yrs (including med masters) since they don't have to repeat the majority of first year classes. And is there such thing as summer classes at EVMS?
I think what Dr. Midlife was referring to is that the class size as of right now is about 75. This program is no longer guaranteed acceptance based on doing well in the program. Everyone should apply broadly because there are no guarantees. There are 4.0 students who did not get in this cycle so its not just about doing well in the program so everyone be warned.
