Were either of you accepted today? If so when did you interview?

No, I was accepted back in February but recently decided not to attend for various reasons (none of which are school-related, as it sounds like a great program!).
I was interviewed in mid-March and was accepted a week after my interview.Were either of you accepted today? If so when did you interview?
Thanks for your prompt response!
Which masters were you pursuing and what is the usual turnaround time for acceptance or rejection from the program?
In case any of you are still on the fence about the masters at LMU - the placement rate into DCOM from the program is no joke. It is very likely that if you do well in medical gross anatomy and have a fair MCAT that you'll get accepted into DCOM for the following year. I believe somewhere in the order of 90% of the class last year was accepted to DCOM.
Why weren't the 10% accepted? Did you do the anatomy or biomed program? Thanks for your helpful advice. I am really hopeful that I get a chance to do this program. The faculty seem really kind and polite. It seems like a nice and friendly environment.

--the program is very doable! Not everyone graduates in May bc they need to complete some undergrad courses first or some required classes do not fit into schedule so it pushes graduation back for some. But for MGA, it's a medical school class so it won't be easy. Some tests are "harder" than others. ..more material is covered, the gross anatomy locations harder to identify etc... But with proper studying and practice you'll do fine! I believe most students pull a B/A.So if I may be very candid, how hard is this program? Like on a scale of 1 to pulling your hair out, how difficult is it to get an A or B in MGA and finish your Master's requirements?

I actually asked Holly this question a few weeks ago! You can use your old LOR!Ok one more for the road, what does the reapplication process entail for applying for DCOM the following year. I'm mostly concerned about having to ask for all those recommendations again. Can I use the ones from my previous AACOMAS app to DCOM/Master's app since they were the same ones?
Best. News. EVER!!!I actually asked Holly this question a few weeks ago! You can use your old LOR!
I've heard that they increased the class size for this year, I'm wondering if this is true. Does anyone know what the incoming class size is?
Right now roll call stands at 98. Compared to last year it was around 70 and before that around 60.I've heard that they increased the class size for this year, I'm wondering if this is true. Does anyone know what the incoming class size is?
Thanks. I'm was just wondering how many more they will be accepting/any spaces left because I have yet to hear from them.
Hey I've also been accepted in this masters and was wondering what you mean by fair MCAT? I've heard a various amount of different numbers, ...is there a magic number or more based on overall?In case any of you are still on the fence about the masters at LMU - the placement rate into DCOM from the program is no joke.

I have a 25 MCAT and was told that it was sufficient and to spend my year focusing on doing well in MGA rather than studying to retake the MCAT.
Who did you talk to concerning the MCAT? I'm also concerned about my score and would like to speak with someone to see if I need to retake or can concentrate on just our classes.
I actually also asked Holly this question. She told me to wait until August so that you could put your masters program class as "in progress"I asked during my phone interview with Dr. Leo, Gassler, and Shirley since they had my file right in front of them. Since they likely won't have yours at this point, I'd ask Holly or Rebecca Barnett. Holly is our go to advisor as Master's students and Becky is part of the administrative team for DCOM.
I turned in my Fafsa a few days ago, just waiting on the school for more info. Holly mentioned orientation dates would be sent out in early/mid July. Not sure about on-campus housing, I had to find off-campus since my spouse is coming with meHow are you guys doing financial aid and paying for school?
Did anyone get the email of the orientation dates?
Someone from housing told me they usually move in the last week of July.
Thanks I'll complete it tonight!Fill out your FAFSA ASAP. Orientation begins the 27th and runs all week. MGA begins the 31st. See u then.
Lots of people are married in different programs. Super cute! and yes I'll just be on the lookout for that date. I work so I'm trying to give them a final day...I turned in my Fafsa a few days ago, just waiting on the school for more info. Holly mentioned orientation dates would be sent out in early/mid July.

I'm in the PMSP programYou're in the MS Anatomy or Biomed? It's graduate degree.
I thought the PMSP program changed to the MS program 3 yrs ago. Does the acceptance email specifically say PMSP and not Master of Science?I'm in the PMSP program
So I saw someone in the FB group that got into the PMSP. Is it where u take post-bacc classes in the fall and are accepted into the MS program in the spring if u keep a certain GPA? If so, then I'd call the fin aid office to confirm what to choose on the FAFSA.I thought the PMSP program changed to the MS program 3 yrs ago.

I don't know if your orientation are the same days as us.
Cool. Thanks. Sorry for the mix up.Yes, the PMSP program is still going on, although it is very small. Holly Napier told me PMSP orientation is aug 13, but she also told a friend of mines aug 11 a while back so its definitely w/in that aug 10-14 week.
