Good luck to your son. Is USciences/TCMC an early assurance or more like the Med Scholars at SLU with a guaranteed interview?</p>
<p>@BiomedFather, it is a guaranteed interview, like SLU that my son has also applied to. However, the drop out rate at SLU is so high that my son has decided he will not go even if he is offered a place. I must admit I had some anxiety about TCMC, being a new medical school. However, after seeing the match list for its very first batch of medical graduates this year, I was very impressed. I had expected most students to have gone into primary care or pediatrics. Here is the list: [The</a> Commonwealth Medical College - Residency Match](<a href=“http://www.thecommonwealthmedical.com/ResidencyMatch]The”>The Commonwealth Medical – Health Equity Always)</p>
<p>Goodluck to Patrick IMGDAD. Looks like you are heading out of bad weather in Texas to much worse weather on the east coast.</p>
<p>@texaspg, thank you. Yes, it is freezing here in the NE.</p>
<p>Anyone else get kean/drexel??? Still no update. I dont know anyone who got updated except for biomedfather</p>
<p>We are expecting school closures in Houston tomorrow. Ice pellet rain.</p>
<p>Finally got the email to pay the Drexel COM processing fee. Wonder why it’s so late</p>
<p>Did anyone call GW? On their website, it says interview notifications by mid-january, and last year they were released on Jan 13th…I haven’t heard anything or know anyone who has heard anything from them…</p>
<p>same^^^^@@@@</p>
<p>@IMGDAD Good luck in PA. We were in philadelphia just last week and there was no snow while back at home they got inches. I wish my S applied to Bonaventure - I can’t remember what it was but there was something about U Sciences we didn’t like … don’t remember what but prob something like UG options are very limited if for some reason you don’t stay in the program.
Wow I didn’t realize the PA was so heavy with these schools linked to Med schools</p>
<p>Good luck on your trip!!!</p>
<p>@wassian88- BU called to schedule about 2 weeks ago. I also still haven’t heard from GW. I can call tomorrow.</p>
<p>@GreenSage- thanks for the info. Glad ursinus went well :)</p>
<p>@IMGDAD- Good luck to your son in PA! </p>
<p>Called Villanova, and they told me I didn’t receive an interview from Drexel. She seemed to imply that everyone who got an interview for Villanova/Drexel was already notified- not certain though, so what MedicalBoy is saying about more notifications coming out for Feb 17th interview date may be true.</p>
<p>IMGDAD, PA welcome you and your son!
We did get lots of snow and it is very very cold and windy, so make sure bring warm cloth with you.</p>
<p>Villanova website says - applicants selected to be interviewed will be notified by:January 22.

<p>Does that mean if you haven’t heard anything by Jan 22nd it’s bad news? But someone on cc received an email notification to pay the fees just today. Very confusing.</p>
<p>Starlight27, Wassian88- I called GW today. I was told that they will email interview notifications either tomorrow or next week.</p>
<p>@Midhelper, starlight27, and class1417, thank you. Will keep everyone informed how the interview go.</p>
<p>@happy2014- If we haven’t heard, it’s bad news. The fees for Drexel was through a different undergrad (probably Drexel/Drexel). Sorry :/</p>
<p>@Shanny101- thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Hi,Has anyone heard from the UTD PACT or the combined program through Univ of Houston</p>
<p>Sorry for confusion, yes it was for Drexel/Drexel</p>
<p>Still no update from Kean University yet…</p>
<p>got email from Kean that my application has been forwarded to Drexel</p>
