Anyone turn in their completed app yet?
Thanks! Mine is about the same. Good luck with your application.like, one ish paragraph out of 4 or 5?
How long did it take for your paper transcripts to be received and processed?
Submitted main application November 8th and all my materials were received roughly a week later (Nov. 16th).
Any news/updates regarding interviews?
I'm pretty much going all in with WesternU...I really hope I get in.
I got an email that all my stuff was received but my application status still doesn't say ready for review. Anyone have the same deal?
Hi everyone! I am currently a student for the MSMS class of 2016. I am a pre-dental student. If you have any questions I can try to help as best I can with my experience thus far! Wish you all the best of luck Make sure you have all your materials in by the deadline (especially the pre-requisite course sheet, I have heard some people forgetting to submit it in the past).

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It's going into review and I don't know when they'll get back to us.Anyone receive an email from WesternU? According to the email, my application is complete and ready for evaluation. Does anyone know the turnaround period from interview to acceptance/rejection? In addition, is it correct to assume the earlier you interview the earlier the acceptance/rejection?
invites should be going out before next weekend. I imagine they'll start notifying tomorrow or next week. I've been complete/up for review since november. the wait is brutal aha
Hello! First off, thank you for making time for us and answering questions. I know how intense the program is (I was at preview day). I'll try to keep my questions to a minimum
1. Did you apply to any other SMP/Post-bacc programs?
2. Why did you choose WesternU?
3. How many pre-dental students are currently enrolled?
4. Do most pre-dental MSMS students go for WesternU's dental school?
5. I know for pre-dentals, there is a "unofficial" linkage to WesternU's dental school...could you elaborate a little more? Certain GPA to maintain, extra curriculars, etc.
6. Are you shooting for other dental schools other than WesternU?
7. When you began the program, did you start working on dental school apps right away (AADSAS opens early June if my memory serves)?
That's all the questions I have for now...I'll try to space out my questions and not try to overwhelm you haha.
P.S. If you know Joseph Pak, tell him hi and thanks! He was very helpful on preview day.
@JayceeFromUCLA
They don't want us to win. Screw they. Bless up.
Haha for real though, as corny as DJ Khaled can get sometimes, he has been the biggest supporter/motivator/hype man since applying for grad school.
Thank you for your response! I really appreciate the detailed information, especially as a pre-dental student. It was major keys to success. Western is honestly my first choice so I really hope I get in.
I have a few follow up questions:
1. How long is ISAC?
2. Did you ask any professors from the MSMS program to write letters for you?
3. Any tips for interviews?
P.S. tooth fairy actually private messaged me and was extremely helpful!
Did you guys include shadowing physicians under the work/volunteer experiences section?

Now I wish I did :'( (someone had told me shadowing =/= volunteer cause we're not contributing anything when we shadow and I listened to them)
I didn't, but I had it under the copy of my CAS so hopefully they look through that as well...
Can anyone let me know how long it took them from submission of all their material to hearing back from the program saying they received it etc.. whenever I call it goes to voicemail!
Wow...that sucks. Did they tell you why January interviews were cancelled?FYI: The January interview date has been cancelled, and the first interview won't be until the February 20th date. the wait continues..

Hey guys!
Current MSMS here (pre-DO) - more than happy to answer any DO-specific questions. =) For any general questions though, Jaycee's information is spot on.
Sit tight if you're anxious about interviews and such - they're working as fast as they can!!
Current pre-DO applicant here, thanks for taking this question. I've heard from some current/past MSBS students that in previous years close to half of the pre-DO MSMS students who met all the criteria were still not linked into the osteopathic school. In addition, it seems that the MSMS program has a history to admitting more pre-DO students than could possibility link thereby fostering a very cutthroat environment. Is there any truth to this? Also, is it true that the MSMS program still does not have an official agreement with the COM to link all its pre-DO students and what is your opinion on how likely you will link?
I'll shed a little light for you guys - we recently got a new Director (Jan 4th to be exact). So if they were to have interviews in January, they would have been rushed. It's better (in my opinion) to have pushed them back.
That is why.

Did anyone else have a "decision" box added on their banner. I had "decision: please contact admissions office" pop up randomly 2 weeks ago. Once I saw this, I called and found out about the interviews being pushed back.
Yea sorry the "Application summary." For some reason, I still have a decision box on the summary, but now the box is blank aha.What/where is the banner? Is it the application menu for Western apps? I logged into my account and do not see a "decision" box anywhere...
for requirements, i was wondering if anyone had a box for LORs? I sent a while ago but not sure if they got or not
How did you turn in a version of the AACOMAS app from this year? I know I was able to directly print the AACOMAS from 2014-2015, but I can't seem to find it on the new application...anyone able to help?
You go to your liaison main page and click program status/manage programs and there should be a list of schools you sent your primary too. Next to them should have a blue download button (down arrow) and you click that and it saves a copy as a pdf in your dl folder. Hope that helps!! Hurry and email it to eds by tmrw or the feb 1 deadline!
Deadline is officially over. Good luck to all of us!!
