Howdy y’all,
I’m planning to apply to the Texas A&M MS in Medical Sciences (MSMS) program and was wondering if any current/former students could share more about the program.

A few questions:
- Around how big is the cohort/class size each year?
- About how competitive is admission?
- Roughly how many applicants usually apply/get accepted?
- How difficult is it to maintain the GPA needed for the med school interview pathway?
- How are the classes compared to first-year med school courses?
- Overall, did the program prepare you well for medical school?

Would really appreciate any honest insight or experiences. Thank you!
