***Official Thread for 2015 BSMD applicants***

@angstelation‌ @Gigantor‌ I am currently a UTSA FAME student if you want to ask me any questions about the program.

Does anyone know when Northwestern HPME results will come out this year or when they were released last year? Or did the day vary from person to person?

have not heard back on AMC either…thinking we’re still in the running

Usually the HPME results are released about the same time as NW. Anyone waitlisted by NW is usually rejected from HPME. They waitlist combined program students if they don’t want to waste a spot on them without knowing they still want to come.

My D accepted to VCU.
So happy. Such a relief.

@Me4college Congratulations to your daughter and you!!! It sure is a big relief. It is celebration time :slight_smile:

Thanks @GoodDoctor‌ I just wish that everyone gets atleast one acceptance.

Congrats to those who got in already! Waiting for Drexel/Drexel still…

@runnergirl09 NW HPME released results on 3/21 last year. This year, my S got an email last week that the HPME results will be released by email in the end of March/early April. I hope it is 3/21 again like last year but not sure.

Great, thanks so much for all of the information @texaspg and @GoodDoctor! Crossing my fingers haha.

@GoodDoctor‌
I didn’t get any email from HPME about decisions being released. Did anyone else get a similar email? I wonder if that’s good or bad news…

Check your spam. I don’t think they would give a signal to people by sending that email selectively.

@texaspg‌
Thanks for the advice but I already checked my spam folder and found nothing there. I also checked the HPME online application but there’s no indication online of when the decisions will be released. Guess I’ll just have to buckle down and wait like everyone else :neutral_face:

@burningred Perhaps you should call HPME and make sure they have your right email address on file. The HPME results when they come out will be released by email - so you should make sure they have the right email address.

does anyone know the details about miami hpme? is it binding? what GPA is required to stay in the program? Is MCAT required? The website does not give much information. Thanks.

@GoodDoctor and @Me4college … maybe a bit late but congratulations on your S/D’s acceptances.

@GoodDoctor‌ - I could repeat what we were told last year for Miami HPM and perhaps this year’s interviewees would post an update:

The medical school calculates the average undergraduate (UG) GPA and MCAT for the incoming medical class and the HPM then uses that as the UG GPA and MCAT minimum requirement for the HPM students. Last year’s overall UG GPA minimum required is 3.7, as is the science GPA. The MCAT requirement is 32 (they will publish the new score under the new grading system when they have statistics from incoming classes. The program is binding regarding the reserved seat in medical school; if you want to apply out you’ll need to let them know and you will lose your reserved seat.

Thanks @co88dad‌ , not at all late for us… got the e-mail today only.

Any news from Miami HPM?

From what I heard now, the GPA is still 3.7 and the new mcat score has gotten raised a little higher (equivalent to a 33 on the old mcat). they have already made the score conversion for the new one, but I don’t know the exact number. I know this because my brother is in Umiamis MSP program. I feel like we still have about two weeks for HPMs results to be released.
