Just saw your post on getting accepted to Howard Medical School!!! CONGRATULATIONSSSS!!! Question, what masters program did you do and how does/did that relate to your medical school application?
Heyyy,
Thank you for your question. I did the Indiana University MSMS program. It is geared towards disadvantaged students (regardless of race) to increase diversity at IU school of medicine.

This is a decent program in my opinion. Please apply if you can (Application deadline for this year is April 30th, they extended it from March 30th)
The program has strong ties to the School of medicine and the classes are practically the same classes I would take again in my first year of medical school. They program has incredible resources.
You start in June with an MCAT prep course and take the mcat in august before classes start. The classes are great and we have a lot of helped with the classes
The only down side of this program is the mcat cutoff, we think this year it is around 498. it might go to 499/500 next year, but I think getting a 499/500 is very doable. it might go down also, but that is very unlikely.
On their website it says the deadline is march 30th but I spoke the my program director yesterday because a friend of mine is applying and she told me that they extended the deadline to April 30th.
You have to fill out a pre-application first, then they email you and let you know if you are eligible to apply.
Pls message me with any questions, you might have.
