IPA Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi all, First time poster, long time reader! Just a bit of info straight from the UDM faculty. Even though they state at the info meetings that taking the GRE is required but is not a decider for admission I was recently told that they now consider your GRE score very heavily for admission as "they found that a candidates GRE score is a direct reflection of their performance in the program". It's too late to retake my GRE for this round of applications (as I don't think I can relearn algebra and geometry in 2-3 weeks) but hopefully this may help some of you. Also, the amount of candidates they will accept outside of the Pre-pa UDM program will be very small this year. They expect 10-15 at the most! That's only a 2% acceptance rate. For comparison, Harvard undergrad hovers at around 6%. They admit that they never expected so many of the pre-pa candidates to make it through the program and that they are fazing out the "automatic" acceptance of the students but must honor the ones already in the program.

tatpat Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 So looks like our chances for this year are very slim. I hope it is still worth the try. I wonder what is their average GRE score? meaning which score should I have to feel comfortable applying? Also, does anyone know their most recent average GPAs and healthcare hours? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPA Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 CASPA application just submitted! Just need to submit the supplemental app and then pray, pray, pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix92 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm hoping the whole weighing the GRE heavily thing now is not really true... I know their minimum is 292, which is my current score:/ Also, no signs of class averages anywhere on the site that I can find! If anyone finds it, please post. To answer your last question Tatpat, current GPA is 3.65 and >3000 healthcare hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix92 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Question, did anyone send updated transcripts directly to the school? I've taken 7 classes since my CASPA submission and thought it would be a good idea to send updated transcripts directly to them. Thoughts!?

IPA Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pheonix, I would definitely send your updated transcripts. Make sure you request them now as I believe they are due to U of D by Feb.15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee will review all applications that were correctly completed by the CASPA deadline date of January 15, 2015 and the supplemental application and online deadline date of February 15, 2015.
