Aetherus Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 They literally have stolen thousands of dollars from Medical Students with the AFMC portal for the last 5-6 years. Probably how they are able to afford to create this program. Looks good and all but they will recoup the money once the applicant is in medical school and applying for electives. I’m pretty sure AFMC has been posting profits of several million dollars just based on the elective portal. This is a way for them to appear like the good guy and protect their gravy train. hero147, zoxy and who_knows 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in reality, OMSAS/AFMC will be out of a couple of thousand dollars, an equivalent of 10-20 regular applicants and that's it. A low price to pay for PR purposes. Moreover, I'd expect a sharp rise in OMSAS/AFMC fees in one or two cycles. So, in the end, all these charity stunts will be paid by regular applicants. So, don't be naïve and start praising them. These application services are absolutely for profit, and they will never allow profit cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
