They only have 8 optho and 6 or 7 ortho (i checked different years and cant decide why this discrepancy exists) so it would be hard to reciprocate so many seats in other programs.

Agree with this. Since they are ranked high in those two, those interested in these two specialties may be opting for Jefferson medical school over others hence more applicants for those two specialties. Itâs self selection process.

I dont mean reciprocate one on one. When you are so renowned the reciprocation goes 3-1 or 4-1 ⊠meaning when Jeff takes 1 student the others take 2-4 students in the next 5 years. Also many of the PDs of other med schools work with Jeff ortho and optho on research or in many other ways âŠso big brother always has an advantage

SLU is a non guaranteed seat only interview and that too if you meet their requirements. At the SLU weekend they said 30/100 get interview. About 40% of their pre-meds go onto med school, maybe more after a GAP year. MD degree with SLU. CCOM is a DO but with 30% of current medical students in the US DO students the landscape of MD/DO will look very different in 8-10 years when they graduate(already see this with combined residency programs). IIT-CCOM guaranteed seat and as it is non-binding opportunity to still apply to MD schools if you like (IIT has many pre-meds take this route and have been admitted to Northwestern University as well as other MD schools). Small but supportive pre-heath advising.

I hope you chose to interview with Stony Brook. It is a good school. Any question, DM me.

Respond to your #2:
Only about 50% matriculate to BS MD. They told us at the presidential interview a few weeks ago.
My S got in. He is still waiting for results of other schools.
SLU is not very attractive unless the kid get the Presidential scholarship. VP scholarship, still have to pay over $50k / yr for undergrad. Expensive and not attractive IMO.
If commit to healthcare, go to temple. UCLA competition is not healthy and grade quota to weed out students. Not to say that your S/D wonât make it, but have to work extremely hard at UCLAâŠ. This is based on my risk adverse opinion.
I ended up not interviewing because I already committed to another program.

Thank you for your insight. My son is committed to Medicine. Our concern is that it is not guaranteed admission to medical school even if the student meets linkage requirements. Acceptance to LKSOM is provisional and determined by LKSOM after the interview. Any advice?

According to NJIT, NJMS doesnât have a minimum MCAT, but they do want an MCAT score. Probably for benchmarking purpose https://honors.njit.edu/content/njms-accelerated-bsmd-program-faqs
Thanks . Do they send out any rejection letters. We havenât received any communication so far. I called few times, they said they will let us know ,but its been a couple of weeks. Did you receive any communication after your interview

At your kidâs caliber, 3.6 GPA and 509 MCAT is achievable (got into UCLA kind of prove it). Attending UCLA then apply later will need more volunteer and research hours, and may need 1 or 2 gap years. Also, Temple will save $60k for Med school later on.
Find out if Temple has resources to prep these students for MCAT (like a prep course for them) and admission into Med schoolâŠ. Does Temple require more research and volunteer to admit into Med program? How many hours?
