Do you mean Geriatric Education for EMS? If so, I found it a waste of time and would suggest that you save your money. Of course how it is taught may make a significant difference.
Hey car66. I have a few questions for you about GEMS...first of all i have been to the website many times so i know all that stuff, anyways, what is it like right now? What kind of people are in it? Is it all just the 4 defined "URM" groups or it is more diverse than that? Am I Underrepresented in medicine, (Im From El Salvador)? What kind of classes are you taking? Lastly, what kind of stats did you have?I would really love to go to this program. Thank you for any help.
Yes, the curriculum will probably be changing. We're taking embryo, biochem, physio, endocrine, and some other electives. But next year, it could be very different.
You have to reapply to med school.I'm a socioeconomically disadvantaged applicant and interested in GEMS program. Just wondering do you have to reapply again after you have completed the program in order to receive admission to medical school? or is it like a guaranteed admission like Drexel DPMS? Thanks!
You have to reapply to med school.
BTW, I am a med student and I went through the GEMS programs. So if anyone has any questions about the program feel free to ask.
Yes, I am currently attending Georgetown Med School. Based on numbers from previous years, a majority of the GEMS students do get accepted to Georgetown Med School after their GEMS years (but the acceptance rate to other schools are relatively low). You reapply during your GEMS year. There will be a special session given by the dean of the admissions committee (@ Georgetown) to the GEMS students and he/she will explain the whole procedure. The GEMS academic committee will make recommendations to the med school admissions committe (after you have completed most of your courses) and that will dictate whether or not you get an interview (usually around mid-late april). You will hear from Georgetown at the end of may (acceptance/rejection letter).Thanks for your reply! are you going to Georgetown right now? GEMS indicates that 90% of participants will get accepted to Georgetown, so I'm wondering how that works. Is it because they give u advantage? also, do you reapply during your GEMS program or after your GEMS program?

This program is not designed to help you to retake the MCAT again. In fact, almost no one retake the MCAT during their GEMS year. The goal of this program is to help you to strengthen your study skill so you can succeed in med school. If you have successfully completed the program (getting above the med school avg. on all your exams) then you have a really good chance of getting accepted to Georgetown med.Thanks for your reply! Do they prepare you to take the MCAt again and do you need to get at least 3.0 for a good chance to get into Georgetown Med?
You need to have an amcas filled out before you can apply to gems but you don't need to apply to georgetown med.I just want to be sure about this...I would have to apply to georgetown med through amcas before I could apply to gems. Is this right?

Hi, what program did you apply to? How did you like it? I am not looking for an SMP for this year. thank you for the insight in advance!Hi Carr66, I got a few points lower (on the MCAT) for the cutoff point. Everything else is okay though such as my GPA. Do you know if I should still apply? Or is their cutoff point for the MCAT really strict? Please let me know asap. thank you
Do you know what is the average score on each exam you need to get to meet the requirements ?This program is not designed to help you to retake the MCAT again.
