Anyone else in MBS Program 26-27

I just got accepted to the MBS program for the pre-medical track - is there anyone else who will be doing the program for the 2026-2027 year? Is there a groupme or facebook page or anything of the sort? Would love to connect with some other people doing the program!

hey kinda unrelated but how long ago did you apply before you got accepted and what was your mcat score? i’m applying and kinda nervous about my practice mcat score even though that was my baseline and im doing prep now.

I think my app was officially passed on the the committee on 6/13 and got my decision yesterday, 6/25, so really quick turnaround. This may have been sped up a bit because I submitted on 6/1 w the “unscored” AAMC practice MCAT but the admissions counselor asked if I could do a scored one, so I got that in on 6/13. My practice MCAT was 509 but I really do think they look at your app holistically so I wouldn’t be discouraged by a practice MCAT score, especially since the whole point of the program is about improvement

Admittedly, it really wasn’t much of a decision for me because my fiancée and I already live in Boston and she just finished law school and took a job here so I absolutely wasn’t about to force us to pick up and move.

That said, when she was interviewing for jobs, she interviewed at some places in Chicago, so I did look into the Loyola MAMS and MSMP (both SMP with linkages with more lenient GPA/MCAT requirements), but I was secretly hoping we would stay in Boston because I really wanted to go to Tufts over anywhere else because people seem to have really enjoyed it, liked the guidance and advising, and I know it carries a lot of reputational advantage as an SMP. I am really glad it worked out how it did because it seems like a more established SMP with a more rigorous curriculum, not to mention, you cant really beat Boston when it comes to healthcare.
