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

D was rejected from PPSP too.

I am a high school junior new to College Confidential. Most of the direct med programs require Math Level 2 and a Science SAT subject test. Does Boston University require subject SAT in foreign language? Appreciate if anyone who is attending the program/ got interviewed/ invited to an interview can respond.

@HS2DirectMed‌ Boston University does require one SAT Subject Test in a foreign language as well as one subject test in math and one in chemistry I think

received denial from case PPSP on jan-30.

@HS2DirectMed‌ @tnr527‌ I was invited to the BU SMED interview this year and I only submitted Chemistry and Math 2. I believe that they made the foreign language subject test recommended instead of required this past year

@hopefulbsmd‌

Was one of your teacher recommendations from a foreign language teacher?

@HS2DirectMed‌
Good luck, as you can see from this thread, nobody is a guarantee for any of these programs.

I was invited for an interview and did not have a foreignlanguage SAT either.

If I was to miss a call from a university regarding an interview such as BU’s SMED, chances are they’d at least leave a message or email me, right? Been getting really anxious these past few days lol

@chasingmymd1‌ no I didn’t have a foreign language recommendation. I used a history recommendation instead

@numnums‌ , I think that university will definitely leave a message. If you are expecting call on your cell phone, even if they do not leave message you will see missed call, for more surety you can check your cell phone account online and see the call log.
any interview invite from anywhere else yet?
we are already in Feb so anxiety is understandable.

Good Luck to @hopefulbsmd and @Lucky139 with your BU interview!

Does anyone know 2014 stats for NorthWestern HPME?
How many applied to HPME / How many were selected for interview / How many were offered admission / How many were enrolled?

This question is to those who have attended Univ. of Alabama EMSAP interview last week. Heard that UAB is having a new kind of interview for 2015 (similar to speed dating with 7 to 10 staff members each interviewing for about 7 minutes). Appreciate if you could share your experience.

@HS2DirectMed‌

If you have many questions about these programs, you might be better off creating your own thread for them.

@chasingmymd1‌ Remember, we can’t do that. I don’t think I even got a straight answer as for why.

Hey! can somebody message me potential interview questions for the UM HPME program? my interview is really soon, whether current prospective students or past ones. thanks!

had my sbu/gw interview this past weekend


people who went to the interview, how did it go?

i wasn’t sure about some questions lol

did u guys get stuck?

@chihuahua1 My son attended the sbu/gw interview also yesterday. He said that the interview with Dr. Thomas was good but the interview with a faculty member was tough and he too did not know how to answer some questions.

@GoodDoctor i agree. I had some petri dish question thing idk wat that was??? lol but yea idk wat they thought of me
it was hard to tell! hopefully ur son and i did well! did u guys like the campus?

@chihuahua My son said the campus was too small and in the middle of nowhere. That is a concern :frowning:
