IMO, it seems that main beneficiary from HPME were well-to-do ORMs. These ORMs are still competitive for regular MD at NU except for no MCAT benefit under HPME. IMO, it is the risk-averse folks who complain the most about the demise of HPME. If you like NU medical school so much, you can still apply after taking MCAT via regular MD route. You are not deprived of the opportunity to get a MD from NU.
FYI, even other BSMD programs besides BU and PLME will not allow applying out while keeping your BSMD seat.
That is certainly scary, but one should wonder why SOM should devalue their own UG. In fact UMich is known for getting more of its UGs, albeit through traditional route.
Wonder why they didnât announce along with HPME .
@Smilescreen, Did you really receive it on Monday or was it in spam earlier? They have 5 days time limit for you to submit Upstate supplements and from your details I understand that today is the 5th day if it was really Monday you received your supplements. Upstate process is really messed up but I would think consider it as their emails are messed up and they know that. Please check with them on Monday. I would suggest you to email Ms. Ripa instead of calling as she has been very prompt in responding to emails.
We received it on Monday late evening and it was in Spam. She did check with Ripa and she said she need to send it by 26th. She completed it and entered all the details yesterday and was about to submit it in the morning. She emailed Ripa and she is not back until Jan 4th.
Yes, Your DD and along with other Asians are main constituents of ORM. It means they are presented in medical school and other prestigious institutions ( read Ivies) more than their share in the general population.
ORM is Over Represented in Medicine based on official URM definition Under Represented in Medicine by AMCAS.
Few facts:
Asian are 23% in Medicine but population is <5%.
Vs
Blacks and Hispanic representation in medicine only 6-7% each vs their much bigger population.
Yes your DD is ORM by popular understanding, there is no official ORM definition.
In fact majority participants on this thread are ORM.
Yea, but most likely will help medical students who are heading for residency in 2-3 years from now, eventually the rural communities where healthcare is most needed. If cities crowded with more Drs, it will drive down prices, essentially good for consumers.
With step 1 going p/f and more residencies, US MDs are expected to benefit a lot. I heard 2000 MDs from 2020 did not place in any residency - thatâs such a shame. Everyone knows we donât have enough doctors. I guess theyâre hoping to address that by adding 1000 more residencies and evening out residency selection by making sure IMGs donât take more than a reasonable share of residency spots by making usmle step 1 p/f? Seems reasonable. Many folks I know (most docs I know) were IMGs, but I understand if these steps help ensure US Medical school grads find adequate opportunities when they graduate.
