Hey guys,

Has anyone else been asked to fill an evaluation forum for the medpath program?

Hi, yes. I got the email around 9:40 tonight, and have been reading about it ever since haha

Hey guys, did you all receive the email on the same day, 11/21?
 
Graduate degree, military, and job performance. I just submitted. Going to try to forget about it, so I don't start stalking my Vitals again. Good luck every one.

For the " what coursework do you think would be most beneficial, if repeated" question, did you guys just list the classes? Or y'all answered with paragraphs?

I'd probably expand with some additional paragraphs because the limit for that particular response is roughly 2000 characters, if I'm not mistaken.

Definitely answer with paragraphs but you don't need to be too wordy. Just give a short explanation...did you do poorly the first time you took the class? Has it been a long time since you last took it? A general good answer would be to address your weaknesses for the MCAT.

Every year it's usually around 100 invites give or take
I very much appreciate you reaching out. Hopefully M2 year is going well... just about halfway there!

100 invites isn't too shabby. I wonder how many of the invites are actually completed? Either way, sounds like there's certainly hope for us!

When you complete the program, do you have to take a gap year afterwards or do you get accepted to start med school the same year you finish MEDPATH?
You start med school right after you finish MEDPATH if you meet all the requirements.
 
Hi everyone. I just sent my MEDPATH app in yesterday. I'm from Miami :D
Good luck to all of us

Hey guys goodluck. I'm going to email or call to verify but does anyone know if you can retake the MCAT before the program to avoid having to take it in the spring?

No, but that is a good question. I feel like it's a part of their program though but I hope she says we can take it before. That'd be awesome!

I got that impression too. It would make the year a lot less stressful and we could focus on maybe extra classes, research, etc. instead. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Texas Resident here! Really hoping to get into this program, as I think the only thing holding me back from other admissions is my MCAT score!
Does anybody know what the selection criteria is for interviews and acceptance into the MedPath program? :)

Heard back from Nikki and no scores post Sept 2017 will be considered for the program. So you have to retake the MCAT during the program.

I was also curious, so I emailed Nikki; however, I've yet to get a response. If/when she does, I'll be sure to update here.
Hey! Did Nikki ever respond to you about how many applications the received?
