Umm.what r u stats if u don't mind? And when were u complete? I've been complete for atleast 2 weeks and haven't heard a peep
just got an invitation to complete the post bac application today. very excited!! I wonder if they start interviewing pretty soon or wait until next year. I guess they take only 15 students..
Hey there, if you really want my stats try to pm me. I was complete 07/02 and notified early September so don't panic just yet...
Who-hoo! Glad to see someone else who is excited as well. From what I've read potential interviewees are notified in March and interviewed in April, so there is still quite a bit of time to stew until then. Yup, only 15...
do you all know exactly how the program works? is it 1 yr and direct admit with certain scores or what?

sorry for my ignorance, but I just found out about this program. Do you apply to the program and they offer you an invitation to apply? or do you apply to the medical school for regular MD admission and upon interview and getting your results back, they reject you but offer you an opportunity to apply for their MEDPATH program?

thanks for the info. does anyone know what the average stats are for people getting into the program?
according to the person I spoke with at the MEDPATH office, the average MCAT year before last year was 22, and last year was 23. I did not ask the GPA. But she said, everybody has to retake the MCAT and get at least overall 24 (they don't care about the score on each section as long as it adds up to 24).
Ok I see... what if I have above a 24 already? Do I have to retake? It would suck to have to retake and make below that score the 2nd time
I am not sure about that since I didn't ask about it. But my impression is that they are really geared towards low MCAT/low GPA and that if you already have 24 and above, you might be fully considered for the regular MD admissions instead. Have you tried submitting your AMCAS application to them yet?
I sent Ms. Radcliffe an email, and she responded with the stats...
The minimum MCAT score considered by both the College of Medicine and MEDPATH is a 17. However, the average score of past MEDPATH classes has been a 22 with a 3.12 GPA.

this is good and not good.. I have a 2.78 gpa.. but my mcat is above the 22 and the 24 they require in the program.... so hopefully that will offset that gpa..
Well thanks for sharing your stat. Yes it looks like your higher MCAT score does offset your GPA. Good luck on that one. Have you submitted the secondary yet? I haven't yet. It looks like the deadline will be next year and they will wait for all the applications to come before they do final review. So does not matter at all if you submit early or last minute. Anyone else applying to this program?
i just barely made the cutoff for the gpa.. since u just have to have a 3.0 in one of the 3 gpas.. AO, BCPM or overall.. and i only have a 3.0+ in AO..lol 3.03..
Well the good news is that at least you have high MCAT score. Hey, what other schools are you applying? I am trying my luck with George Washington. They have a 5-year decelerated program which is for people who have not-so-stellar stats like us but have "other" great "qualifications". Are you also doing the Georgetown GEMS Program? I wanted to apply to that but they require US citizenship which I don't have.
Does anyone if medpath application require more recommendation letters beside the once submitted with amcas?
Good question...I looked through some of the previous year's MEDPATH threads and there is no mention of this.
From here it appears that sometime down the line we will get an invitation for an actual interview or a rejection notice...?
In one of the posts I read it states that after the actual interview half of the interviewed candidates will be accepted and the other half will become alternates. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
i read on the website that you need to submit an AMCAS application by November 1st. Just to make sure I am correct, does this mean that I send in my primary by November 1st, and can submit my secondary to them by January 1st (like normal?) or does the secondary need to be received by OSU by November 1st in order to be considered for Medpath. Also, when do you need to submit the application to be eligible for the scholarship that I have heard about?
Does anyone know the program's ethnicity statistics? How many non-minority students do they accept on average?

Did you guys type directly into the application or did you attach sheets to it?

Do you guys know how many students got invited to apply to MEDPATH?
I've heard that about 100 are invited to apply, about 30 are invited to interview, and 15 are selected to matriculate....
Ok thanks for that...I'm so nervous!!! I hope we at least get invited for an interview!!!
...i share your anticipation...
did you guys cut and paste for the background part, career goals from your AMCAS or did you change it? I was thinking of using the same and adding a few new things...
What do they mean by "your role in your family?"
I have been complete since 10/23/09. My status has remained the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application Status
Your current status is: AMCAS Application Received
View your status details.
Secondary application Received
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have received an invitation for neither MedPath nor regular admissions interview. Realistically, what are my current chances at getting an invitation for one of the above? For those who have already received correspondence from the program, when did you submit your secondary applications? Have they sent out pre-interview rejection notifications yet?
I can't remember exactly when all these dates occured. I was AMCAS complete on 9/17 ish and I'm sure I submitted my 2ndary by end if sept. maybe. My MD app was closed and my status was then changed to post bacc consideration around the first week of OCT. I am not exactly sure what theyre screening process entails and if they have a cutoff on how many apps they consider for their post bacc program. Im guessing if they havent rejected you then you probably still have a shot at gaining a direct acceptance.
They're already scheduling interviews into mid-March, so I'm afraid my chances for regular admissions are slim. If they have rejected me pre-interview and don't consider me a candidate for MedPath, will they notify me immediately (of both rejections) or wait until the end of the application season to do so? Do you know the cutoff date for sending out MedPath invitations (January, maybe)?
Best wishes with your own applications!
i am def not well informed enough to answer that question..sorry... have you heard anything recently?
