<p>Hey, so since most if not all decisions are out....who on CC got accepted?</p>
<p>Any idea about the # of applicants, and # accepted?</p>
<p>How and when did you find out?</p>
<p>Found out Saturday morning through email</p>
<p>@inevitable my D got accepted to VCU GMed. I believe 60 were interviewed and 20-21 accepted. How does this program rank on your list of acceptances or possibles?</p>
<p>still waiting on some schools, but pretty much at the top. what about your daughter?</p>
<p>My D has been accepted to both Drexel and VCU programs, any ideas to help choose one?</p>
<p>@inevitable we are in same boat, still waiting to hear from a couple of others but are very happy with choices so far. Probably a good idea to do day/overnights at top program choices to make final decision.</p>
<p>someone wanna make a facebook group? haha</p>
<p>Actually I do believe 60 were interviewed and they accept about 30-40 but only 20 ish choose to attend. I know that their current freshmen class only has 18 GMed students. </p>
<p>@Freshman13 - Both are great programs I think it’s a matter of where you’re daughter will be happiest (i.e. undergrad school, location, campus life, course load, etc.) I think VCU medical school is ranked 68th? And Drexel… well last I heard it was 80 something but I could be wrong (if medical school rank does matter but do keep in mind its based off research grants/money).</p>
<p>@freshman13 It definitely is a personal decision, after you have taken into account scholarship, etc. both are city schools–UG and Med. My D has placed Drexel lower than VCU on her hierarchy because she liked the VCU environment better. I am encouraging her to go visit a few of her options for the day to fully make up her mind. I know it is not always convenient to do so, but it is such an important decision for the next 4-8 years that doing your due diligence is prudent.</p>
<p>hey i got accepted to the program, which one of you guys are going to the program? should we make a facebook group?</p>
<p>Make it :]</p>
<p>Still deciding…stay tuned!</p>
<p>I am committing to VCU! Hopefully I’ll see some of you next year.</p>
<p>does anyone know the attrition rate for this program? like how many people are not able to meet the requirements?</p>
<p>probably not very many…the requirements are notably lower than a lot of other programs</p>
<p>nice. arrite i think im gonna commit this weekend. was a facebook group ever made for it?</p>
<p>i couldnt find one, so i just made one called “VCU Guaranteed Medical Class of 2017”…if any of u guys wanna join so we can get to know each other lol</p>
<p>Congrats guys! My D decided to do the Miami HPME but was told by Dr. Chandler that 16 students have accepted GMed already! Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>@cmoles, can you message me the linnk to the fb group</p>
