Got accepted into Anatomical Science program.
Congrats on the AS acceptance. I loved AS hahaha - easily the most fun I've had in school ever!
Got accepted into Anatomical Science program.
After I received the email with the complete app, it took maybe two weeks at most until they told me I got the interview and after the interview I got my provisional acceptance until I got the background check and then got the full acceptance.what is the timeline from complete app to a decision? or a phone interview?
it's been 3 weeks since they began reviewing but i have not heard anything in regards to interview. is this a silent rejection?After I received the email with the complete app, it took maybe two weeks at most until they told me I got the interview and after the interview I got my provisional acceptance until I got the background check and then got the full acceptance.

Look, LMU's program is a great opportunity, but, as mentioned before in my post (above), it is not a guarantee admission only a guarantee interview and although that might sound as enough to many, you have to first consider several things such as your MCAT score. Because, to gain actual admission to DCOM you will very likely need at least a 24 in your MCAT, this considering that you will do great in the Fall (MGA). So, if you are looking for a program to enhance your academic record and you already have an MCAT of 24 or higher, then LMU will probably be your best choice. However, if your MCAT score is lower than that, then I will advice you to instead do a masters in a good university or retake some classes (remember the AACOMAS grade forgiveness policy) and consider retaking the MCAT. At the long run, if your MCAT is not higher than 23-24, again, it is very likely that you will have to retake it in order to get to DCOM. Good luck.I was accepted to the LMU- Biomedical Professions program and the Campbell MSBS program and I am trying to decide between the two. I like the guaranteed interview at LMU, but I am from NC and Campbell doesn't require you to take additional coursework that doesn't apply to the master's. Any advice on either program?
I am not sure but last year, I know some students got in with 21-23s. This year it wasn't that easy and some students who did good on MGA (meaning made a B) but who had an MCAT under 24, were waitlisted or denied admission. So, to answer your question, if you are doing this to get into medical school and you feel confident, because you have been getting ready, that you can make a 25 MCAT then I will suggest to take the LMU opportunity. If not then the Campbell option could probably be your best choice. Regardless of what it is, if medicine is what you want to do for the rest of your life, keep preparing yourself. Do not take things that are in vain, set a direction. For example, I met someone who applied to medical school and got denied twice (two years), but meanwhile she was working towards her masters and then later her PhD. She finished in 4 years and then got into more than one schools in her home state. Many students would have waisted those 4 years taking classes. The main point is that unless you know that the program is going to offer you more than just preparation, unless is a linkage program, a masters, or classes that you are retaking to make your GPA better, don't waste your time and money. Good luck and if you have any other question just shoot me an email or a reply.Unfortunately, I won't be taking the MCAT until May 6th so I can't factor it into my decision. A bonus of the program at Campbell is that an MCAT prep course is included so if I don't do well, I'll be able to improve that score. I was wondering if you knew anything about what score is expected for the new MCAT at DCOM? Like, how would a 24 translate to the new scale?
Ok to everyone having this dilemma I found the answer. Holly said usually 3-4 people transfer from the program to DCOM before the start of classes and the deposit does transfer over. Hope this helps
The times vary for the graduate classes. Some classes can start as early as 8-9am. Now the med classes operate under a different schedule.Some MGA classes last fall started at 8am, but you can always media site them. It is about an hour and a half of driving from Knoxville to the campus and I've heard that it can be very exhausting. I met two people that drove from Knoxville to the campus every day and they did not look happy. Hope this helps.Does anyone know the hours for classes? I'd like to live closer to Knoxville if possible.
Don't worry yet. The response varied last year - some people received a call the next day (of interview) while others didn't get an acceptance call until late. There were actually some people last year that did not get an acceptance until near the beginning of the program, so just hang in there and don't worry yet. Hope that helped.Had an interview. Been a couple of weeks and still nothing. Silent rejected?
how many students are in the AS track?
Smaller than I expected. So is it like a family and you really get to know your classmates kind of a thing?Started out with 25 and accepted 5 Biomedical students that switched over.

congrats! how much time do people get to make a decision by?Interviewed yesterday. Provisionally accepted today. Time to make some decisions on which post bacc to attend.
Hello everyone, I'm getting super excited about starting school in July. Has any received an email about when orientation is or registration for classes? Thanks
I think I saw June 15th.Does anyone know the deadlines for the programs? Having a hard time figuring this out...
Yes because I interviewed Friday and was provisionally accepted this morningJust finished submitting all the application material today! Feels like I am extremely late in applying for this program...is there any chance of me getting in at this point? Also, any international students that have applied to this program?

Keep in mind that the 93% only refers to the students who were interviewed. Read the long post above. He explains the situation relatively well as many have on previous pages.I understand that it is not guaranteed admission, the acceptance rate is still pretty high according to their website: "A total of 93% were offered a seat" http://www.lmunet.edu/academics/gra...ster-of-science-ms/frequently-asked-questions
do you have any suggestion to students going to LMU masters who come from California, Texas, etc.? I thought even if they go to LMU, they are still considered legal residents at California and Texas, aren't they still treated the same as the ppl who go to say Texan med schools?
One more question for LMU students: some people get scholarship like HPSP and others to pay for med school, but the masters program is paid by loans, right? how did you guys finance your living and studying in LMU?
thanks
I think you are not super late. And I am also an international student and got accepted into Anatomical sciences.Yes because I interviewed Friday and was provisionally accepted this morning
Does anyone know if it's too late to start an application now?
Turned in my application 2 weeks ago, had my phone interview last week, and was accepted to the program!!!
3 days approximately.Those of you who got into the Anatomical Sciences program, how long did it take post-interview to get a decision?
