<p>I got a letter today in the mail about being guaranteed admission to the engineering school. Does this mean I've already been considered for the guaranteed adm. to med school and just didnt get it? Or can you have GA to multiple schools?</p>
<p>still waiting for the scholarship info, that'll decide if i even go or not.....</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I am shooting a bit in the dark here, vikings, because my daughter was not interested in med school; however, it seems as though the guaranteed grad school admissions match with the undergraduate major indicated. Is there a box you check to indicate interest in med school?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because my daughter received the guarantee for the international studies grad program (whatever it’s called) because she indicated a language as her major. I would just make a call if you haven’t already. I would also guess that if you think that your stats are competitive for the guaranteed med school, you would surely be getting $$$. Best wishes; I hope that you get the news you want soon.</p>
<p>Did you put your major as bioengineering or pre-medicine? The minimum requirement is 1450 SAT or 33 ACT plus a high GPA. They will select some of those applicants to submit further information (research experience, medical experiences etc.) then invite some for interviews. It is a very competitive process and if accepted into the program, you must maintain a 3.75 GPA.</p>
<p>For the medical school guaranteed admissions, out of the dozen or so students selected each year, how many actually graduate from Pitt Medical School? Students may change their major, not keep their GPA up… What about applying to other medical schools, is that permitted?</p>
<p>Hey nicholer, I am in the program now so I think I can answer your questions. I am not sure on the number of the students in the program that actually graduate from Pitts Med School but I can tell you that you are not binded to Pitts Med School. You can apply out and still keep your spot I believe. Also, no one has been kicked out of the program because of GPA problems yet.</p>
<p>If you’re good enough to get into the program then you should be very capable of keeping the GPA requirement even though it’s pretty high. Changing your major doesn’t matter because you can major in anything you want. And as for applying out to other med schools, I don’t think it’s not permitted but it’s already discouraged by the fact that the MCAT isn’t required to go onto Pitt Med, a darn good top 15 med school.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>The reason I asked is because for 2009-2010, 148 applicants matriculated at Pitt’s School of Medicine, although only 3 were from an “Early Assurance Program.” I don’t know for a fact, but thought those would be the GAP students. If so, some students were lost. If maintaining the GPA doesn’t seem to be an issue, then students either didn’t go on to medical school or they matriculated elsewhere, which sounds like it’s possible to do. </p>
<p>sportgreet - Just curious, what type of research opportunities or medically-related EC’s have you done or hope to participate in? Thanks.</p>
<p>You’re probably getting that information from the MSAR. I don’t know how long the GAP has been around but they could have accepted a different number other than 12-15 in previous years, esp if it was just starting out.</p>
<p>I know the stats for the Chancellor’s Scholarship (number invited, applications submitted, interviewed, selected…). Any information on the numbers for the GAP for med school? I was curious how many are usually invited to apply, actually apply, and are then asked to interview. Thanks.</p>
<p>I believe 150 are asked to apply, around 50 interview, and then 8-10 are selected.</p>
