Class was always 1-3pm and my parents helped me pay for my rent

Muchas gracias !!!

Thank you !!

That’s a great question. I think whenever you have the most time to study for it will be the best. You definitely don’t want to sit for your MCAT without having already done all the prereqs. I also used the GRE to apply. And then I used two months prior to starting the program to study/take the MCAT. Keeping in mind I had already take all the prereqs. I do think the program gives you good coverage of what you would see on the MCAT but your best form of studying for MCAT is doing practice questions

The MSP3 program is mostly for students that already completed a bachelors and most (if not all of the prereqs) for medical school. It’s a masters program basically to allow you to prove to medical schools that you can handle the curriculum. Especially for people that have below average GPAs. That was one of the reasons why I completed it. If you want to do very well in the program I wouldn’t work full time. As a nurse maybe like 1-2 shifts but nothing more weekly.

I do not but highly recommend attending the lectures because they give you hints and emphasize on the important stuff you need to know/things that may be in the test!

Thank you so much! I have no doubt with some effort, persistence, and determination….you will make it wherever you want to go! Wishing you all the best !!

There was two lectures everyday M-Th and Fridays were for review from what I remember. It was like 4 classes a semester so two days of the week you would have lecture for 2 of the classes. The other two days, you would have lecture for the other classes. Lectures were 1 hour long. They were not required. They were also recorded so you can always rewatch or watch on your own on 2x speed after the fact if you wanted to. The first semester I attended class religiously. But when I started applying/interviewing for med school , I would go virtually. Hope this helps!!

It was helpful especially when transitioning to first year of medical school. The professors are very helpful and if you don’t understand things they are willing to work with you. You don’t really get a choice in taking the courses or not. It’s part of the curriculum in order to graduate. They’re doable!

yes mam, you can email me at [email protected] or DM on instagram @naticorrea4

Thank you so much!! I am not sure but usually adjusting to the program in the Fall is challenging so I wouldn’t recommend it. Most people try in the spring/summer once the course load lightens up and they get the hang of the studying and rigor. I did the MCAT before I started the program. In hind sight I think it would be difficult to balance both. However it doesn’t hurt to try. Hope this helps!! Best of luck!! And congrats on being accepted !!!

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe thank you so much 🙏 good luck on your future endeavors.

Thank you so much for reaching out!! So glad you found it helpful. I loved USSTRIDE in undergrad. It was super helpful!!

Hey! 😊

You’re welcome! Wishing you all the best in your journey !!

Thank you !!😊

They do have requirements that may vary year to year. The applicant pool has gotten more competitive so yes it can be relatively challenging but it is definitely doable. I would try nonetheless . It is better to be rejected than to never try anyways. If you are concerned you can always reach out to their staff and generally they have been helpful over the years to explain what their requirements are or direct you to where you can find them. I hope this helps! Wishing you the best of luck!!

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe Thank you so much for all your encouragement and help!

Kaplan!! I made a video about it. You can check it out in the premed playlist!

Definitely , send me an email [email protected]

Glad it helped!! Wishing you all the best !!💪🏼

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you !!!

That’s awesome! Thank you so for sharing!! & thank you so much!!

You live in the city where your regional campus is. If you rotate at another campus that isn’t yours to do an away rotation some of them provide housing or some of them are on your own expense. Rotations are usually 4-6 weeks so it’s temporary. When I rotated in Immokalee for 6 weeks, they provided housing!

Thank you 🥹 wishing you the best in your journey!

Thank you !!

I am not sure what a "bad" MCAT means because that's a pretty subjective statement depending on who is saying it and who is interpreting it. It really depends on where you want to go because your stats can be competitive for one school but subpar for others. If you want to go to schools that have a high average MCAT then you may seriously consider retaking the MCAT and utilize the gap year to do that. The program won't hurt you if you excel in it. No one is going to knock you for doing a master's. However, I will say the program is for people that are trying to redeem their undergraduate GPAs or strengthen their foundation for MCAT in some cases there is overlap in classes. It is difficult to do well in the program and work full time/part-time so most people take out loans. I believe each semester was about 6000 in tuition alone except summer so I spent about $15000 because in summer you take fewer credits. $15000 is a lot of money to cough up however it is arguably reasonable for a master's degree and a small chunk compared to what someone would spend for a medical degree. That being said I would be certain that you want to do it before you commit to it. I applied to both the program and medical school in the same year. I dropped out at the end of my spring semester to start medical school and later returned (virtually) to finish....just out of a personal desire to finish and HAVE my masters. Some people discontinue and never look back after getting their MD acceptance. .......OVERALL just depends on your individual stats and overall application (schools looking more holistically at applicants these days) AND how you compare to the pool of applicants for the school you're trying to get into. i.e. i had 3.4 undergrad GPA, 4.0 masters GPA, 505 MCAT. This may not be competitive for USF which had a 516 average when I applied to med school and FSU had a 505 average when I applied. I also had SEMINOLE and FSU written all over my app. thus I was very competitive for FSU but not for USF....for different reasons. Things to keep in mind. Hope this helps! Email me if you have any more questions!

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe Thank you for this breakdown. Please I have a question regarding how much the cost of rent was in that area. Also, the tuition fee your quoted above, was that for in-state or out-of state? Thank you.

It was called station 42. Yeah I thought the apartment was nice and big for the price of it. It was close to campus. It was also furnished. I recommend it !!

Hey! I don’t think it’ll hurt you but it seems very specific. If your overall goal is to build a solid medical science foundation and get a good grade then MSP3 is perfect because it’s similar to the first year of medical school curriculum content. I am not familiar with the women’s health concentration myself. But at your stage I don’t know how valuable it would be to focus on just women’s health because in medical school you see it all. I hope this helps!! The main thing is getting the highest GPA you can and proving to schools you can handle a rigorous curriculum. Wishing you the best of luck!!

I've been sketch about applying because I'm terrified that if I fall an exam I'm going to be kicked out of medical school. This girl at my job told me her friend got kicked out after failing an exam in his third year. He was left with 400k in debt.

there are going to be plenty of exams in medical school and if you become a doctor there will exams you need to take for the rest of your life. They can be intimidating but with great preparation you’ll over come it. There are exams after your required rotations ( Family Med, peds, obgyn, internal med, surgery, psych, Emergency Med, and geriatrics). You’ll also have to take your boards. You will not get kicked out if you fail and exam and most medical schools are supportive if you have academic difficulties. Hope this helps!!

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe thanks for sharing but this girl at my job friend got kicked out of medical school for failing the OBGYN exam. He took it and failed. They let him retake it and he failed again so they kicked him out of medical school. I was thinking about applying to FSU but I wanted to ask some questions about their processes for students in the clinical rotation year. Unfortunately, no one can call admissions to ask. 😭😭😭

@@megan8375 Medical school is a long process lol but I would focus on what is in front of you. The first thing would be to take the MCAT and apply and once you’re in then I would worry about the next exams. When you’re interviewing for medical school you will have the opportunity to ask all those questions of worries you have about the school. You can also email any school and they will be able to share their student handbook with you most likely. But again, they would probably tell you to focus on getting into medical school first before you concern yourself with something that you will face 3 years from then. Don’t let fear deter you.

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe thank for taking the time to share. My concerns are great because i have kids and trying to figure out if these could be balanced with my kids. It seems like right now is not a good time for me or maybe finding and alternative like PA school which is less intense.

Hello! Thank you so much♥️ I did apply to medical school while I was in my masters. Since it was a masters program I got a new GPA however on the Med school applications (MD and DO) they saw both GPAs. I was able to provide updates when my fall grades released and later in the spring when those grades were posted. I only interviewed at FSU and they did ask me about my masters so I mentioned how well I did but they never really asked me about my undergraduate GPA aside from recognizing the significant improvement. GPA is only one portion of the application and I think showing that I was actively addressing that blemish was what helped me stand out or at least get by as an applicant! Hope this helps!!

@@NataliaCorreaMDTribe Thank you!
