Thanks for your reply! I'm going med. I am asking due to financial reasons, yeah. My girlfriend and I want to be prepared as possible before June, that's why I ask.

Ah ok! Ya for Med you need the best GPA possible, and having even a part time job will take away from that.

If you contact the financial aid office they could probably help you better than I, but I know several people took federal grad plus loans, which cover all the costs associated with the program, and that might even include living expenses if I remember correctly. 1 extra year of loans is worth it if it means you can focus on your studies and get into medical school.

Quick question. I am applying to this program and the application is asking me if I took the SAT/ACT. I know I took these in high school, but that was a while ago and I no longer have those scores. Should I just say I didn't take them? Do I have to call them about this or does it matter?

If you have an MCAT score, you can use that in its place. I think on the app I wrote that I did have SAT scores but I didn't enter them because I didn't want to pay collegeboard $300.

I just got accepted and have a few questions! How is LECOM as a school? So I know that if you have a 3.0 you are guaranteed an interview to enter the upcoming class for that same year. Does that mean the MCAT does not factor in, because I got a 496 and plan on taking it again, but if I don’t need to then I won’t. However, if I do have to take it I would be studying during the summer and plan on taking it in August/September. How is the summer term workload and would it be manageable to do this program and study for the MCAT?

If you are good enough to be accepted into the program, that means your GPA and MCAT or SAT score is good enough for you to be offered admission into the DO program once you finish the MMS program at a high level and do well in your anticipated interview.
 
can anyone attest to how strong the linkage is for the DO program
 
does anybody have course syllabus from last year or course schedules
 
can someone explain to me what student led courses are? which courses are student led? and how does that work i read on a previous thread that people find that not helpful

Student led courses are pretty much the course material is taught by the students via group PowerPoint presentations. Current student led courses in the masters program include: Introduction to Research, Epidemiology, and Pathology. For example in pathology a group chooses a category (e.g infectious disease) and each member of the group makes a PowerPoint about diseases/topics that would fall into the category and present them to the class.
 
do you guys feel like they treat you like medical students or like undergrad. like do mms students get treated well
 
the program starts with 75 people and turns to 63 because people apply out and leave for other medical schools

Hey guys,

I think you have a chance. Your stats are good.
 
Okay! So someone told me that there are gators around campus. Is this an actual thing?
 
how old is everybody in the program? 21? 27? 40?
 
does anybody in the current cycle have old schedules or old syllabi
 
so is class attendance mandatory in the program ??
 
"The Admissions Committee has reviewed your file and a decision has not yet been made regarding your application. The Admissions Committee will meet to review your application every 30 days; you will be notified if there is a change in their decision at that time."
Has anyone received this on the portal and then gotten accepted? This worries me...
