Does anyone know when the Penn State decisions will come out?
@medprograms I was wondering the same thing. I believe they were released the 9th of March last year and the 6th the year before. Anyone have any info on the exact date for this year?
For penn state Jeff program
First sign was on fri night with change in the personal log in web site in first week Friday. This year is march 4,2016
So look for this weird change and confirmation Monday
Information only
For those who are lucky for penn state Jeff
This is what you will see(except different year)- it is sort of confusing âŠ
"For PSU/TJ, my penn state portal changed to "Congratulations on your acceptance to Penn State!
I am pleased to offer you admission to The Eberly College of Science for Fall 2015 at Penn State University Park. I hope that the information provided on this page will help give you a head start on thinking about your offer to Penn State." There is a youtube clip about the college of science and under that says Premedical-Medical with a description of the program."
And then you get a nice official email few days later
Look for this change
Anyone know about when we hear from Drexel? I thought they said by the end of February 
@Mocha16 the 4th! anyone know what the format of the interview is? like are there presentations and tours or just interviews?
Interviews with a possible essay writing
Learned in the middle of the REMS interview weekend that I got denied the HPME interview!! There goes another one!! :â)
If any future BSMD applicants are here, by the way⊠donât write off REMS just because youâve never heard of University of Rochester!! I was very impressed by the program, and itâs not easy for me to be impressed by a college. If I get rejected, which is likely given the odds, it will no doubt be the rejection that hurts the most!! ;____;
@J2H239 what type of essay writing??
@J2H239 for northwestern or for drexel?
drexel has an essay writing⊠you have to provide a response to a given situation
@sonpat, NW HPME, at least, for some, one page in the given time. Sorry, the essay prompt could not be released. You will know it when you need to write an essay.
@agirlinasweater Do your best at REMS. It is one of the best program and one of the best university. The only down side for folks from south and west, it is a cold place. Any one will be happy if get admitted for UG with some merity aid. One of the contactsâ D in Bay area, is doing REMS 3rd year in UG and so happy about every thing there. GL
@agirlinasweater Good luck with REMS interview. I wish I was invited to the program. I was accepted for the UG yesterday. It was quite sour after the REMS rejection. Anyhow I am moving on and looking forward for my GAP interview in 15 days!
I just returned from Wayneâs Med-Direct academic day/interview. The interview was very relaxed and I really enjoyed it. During the other half of the day we were able to take a tour of the Childrenâs Hospital of Michigan. The experience was very positive. 25 applicants out of over 400 were invited to interview and 10 will be selected for the program, but they are putting together a very nice scholarship package for the other 15. I should know my status in about two weeks.
@PigletYorkie @GoldenRock
Thanks, guys!! Good luck with everythingâŠcollege admissions are tough!!
I attended UR 2016 REMS weekend/interviews and update provided below:
REMS Weekend dates: 2/25 & 2/26.
of qualified applications received = 1023.
of students, both domestic and international, invited for REMS weekend/interviews (finalists) = 45.
Actual # finalists whom attended REMS weekend = 44.
~15 students will receive acceptance letters and ~10 matriculate (school target/goal).
@agirlinsweater:
*Excellent school and impressive BSMD program indeed.
I was there at REMS too. My understanding is that 15 to 18 students receive acceptance by March 15 and about 2 to 6 students will be on waitllist.
@HS2DirectMed Given the highly variable admissions YIELDS typical of BSMD programs the estimates will vary depending on who you ask in the AO however final numbers also depends on strength of interview phase and identified student ACTUAL interest/commitment thus hoping to get absolute numbers is a mute point.
Btw, actual decisions results are expected earlier per student and parent orientations but yes, the official date stated was by 3/15 per website.
GL!!!
