Barry University Reviews of Master's in Biomedical Sciences

"I applied to this program with hopes to increase my academic background for admittance into a dental school. The expectations are high, but the professors in this program prepare you in all facets of learning. I exceeded my own expectations & was accepted into 4 schools. I have Barry University & everyone who embodies this program to thank. Highly recommend."

"Program provides allot of support emotionally or academically. Administrators and almost all the teachers are readily available. The program is designed to be like the first year of med school so I definitely feel I have an advantage when I start med school in the fall. Even during my interview process it came up and it was in my advantage the design of the program to be like the first year of med school . Definitely had an impact on me being accepted."

"I decided to pursue the Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences at Barry University after my family member completed the program and successfully matriculated into Medical School. I whole heartedly believe that this program played a large role in me getting into medical school. Medical and Dental schools come to campus every month and the faculty in the program work hard to develop relationships with them that help us when we are applying to Medical School. I believe that the number of matriculants to Medical, Dental and other Health Professional schools from this program speaks for itself. I definitely recommend this program for those who need a Gap year to improve their chances of getting into school."

"I found out about the program through one of my patients who said the program helped him get into medical school. I quickly looked into the Barry BMS program and quickly knew that this program was exactly what I was looking for. From the first time I toured the Hollywood campus I felt like the dean and P. were there to support their students academic success. My first semester I was challenged in new ways and learned better ways to study for rigorous material. When time came to took the DAT I was definitely well prepared and I thank the BMS program for that! These classes prepare you for the future courses youll have in medical and dental school and I truly felt I had both professors and mentors. Everyone at Barry is there to help you do well. This fall I was accepted into multiple dental schools December first and I believe the BMS degree helped make me more prepared for my future! Id recommend this program to anyone who wants to feel better prepared going into professional school or to boost their application."

"I attended Barrys Biomedical Masters program hoping to build a better science foundation in order to improve my MCAT score and ultimately become a more competitive applicant for professional school. Upon completion, I achieved both goals and much more. At my undergraduate school, lecture classes were relatively large and it was hard to get one-on-one time with professors. I was compensated for this at Barry, where faculty know each student by name and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure students understand the material being taught. Moreover, I was able to gain leadership experience through organizations such as BMS Society and becoming student ambassador. I was recently accepted into medical school and I owe a great deal to Barry's masters program; from the professors all the way down to the staff. I am confident going into my first year of medical school knowing I am prepared to face the challenges ahead."

"The BMS program at Barry University is phenomenal and I would highly recommend it. Although the program is rigorous and requires dedication, it has prepared me extremely well for either job in the Biomedical Science field or for medical school. It also prepares students well for dental school, PA school or any other professional school. The professors are extremely knowledgeable and are always willing to answer questions that you may have. The administrative staff is also wonderful and Im happy that I had the opportunity to associate with them."

"Prior to earning my Masters Degree at Barry University I was unable to have the privilege of even interviewing at prospective dental schools. Thanks to Barry, I was able to strengthen my GPA and DAT. The BMS program at Barry helped me grow personally, scholastically, and professionally. The faculty and staff at Barry are extremely helpful and aim to help you succeed. I feel much more prepared for dental school due to the rigorous courses I have already mastered in this program. I have since gained multiple acceptances and look forward to what lies ahead."

"Barry University's Masters in Biomedical Sciences program was a great experience. As a student interested in continuing my education by going to medical school, this program definitely helped me to accomplish that goal. The faculty and staff were very helpful and supportive and truly wanted the students to succeed. This program helped me grow and learn a lot about myself and I would definitely recommend it to all."

"Deciding to attend the BMS program at Barry University was the best decision I ever made. Here, I was exposed to many classes that are similar to my first year of dental school. I not only have strengthened my study skills but I have personally matured and grew through this program. It was rough at first being away from home for the first time but I had unconditional support through this journey from the faculty and friends. The journey to dental or professional school is rough so it is great to be surrounded by people who are highly motivated and know what you are going through. The faculty really want to see you achieve your dreams and they are very approachable for help when needed. I can say attending this program has provided me with so many opportunities to achieve my goal. I am very happy to say I have been accepted to a great dental school and will take everything I have learned to help me succeed in dental school."

"The balance of life that my professors and peers helped me reach at Barry University has propelled me into dental school and I couldn't be more thankful to the wonderful graduate staff and students from Dr. C. and P. to each of my friends. Each person has individually contributed to my success and I owe it to them to make a lasting impact in my community. Barry University has given me a foundation I can build on for the rest of my dental career, I'm confident it can do the same for you."

"The BMS program at Barry did not only provide me the academic confidence I lacked in applying to dental school but also added a competitive edge to my resume. The classes and professors at Barry ensure that each student is success when applying to professional school; in preparing you for the MCAT/DAT/PCAT, interviews, personal statements, and advice on how to contact schools. This fall, I will be attending a dental school I once only dreamed of. The BMS program is dedicated to their students and committed to academic excellence."

"Barry University's master's Biomedical Sciences (BMS) was the exact program I needed to get one step closer to my dreams of becoming a dentist. The curriculum is tough, but the professors are exceptionally talented teaching and helping students understand what they need to do in order to do well in medical or dental school. The administration has also created a nurturing environment for students, you can tell each of them cares for their students success, going above and beyond to ensure our questions and concerns are answered. The culture to succeed among the students and faculty at Barry's BMS program, in addition to the academic rigor and supporting staff is, I believe, the main reason I was accepted in to dental school. I start this fall, and I am eternally grateful for my experience here. I feel well prepared."

"The Barry University masters program was specifically recommended to me by a dean at a dental school. I am starting dental school in a few months and feel as if this program has been a great resource that has allowed me to be more prepared. There are other students who are also pursuing dentistry, as well as medicine and nursing. There are also those who will be pursuing a career in research or academia. The program is unique because it prepares you for a broad range of career paths effectively."

"After having only been a student in Barry University's Master's in Biomedical Sciences program for one semester, I have not only received a quality education but I have been also been challenged academically. This program allows their students to engage in rigorous coursework and studies emulating what first year medical school or dental school students are taking. This program is not only beneficial for someone who wants to further improve their chances of being accepted into professional school, but it also provides an educational environment that fosters growth and support among your fellow classmates and from your professors. The diverse student body really supports and lifts one another up throughout this program since we are all pursuing the same goal of becoming health-care providers. And the faculty and advisors at Barry are right there beside you, helping you, teaching you and cheering you on throughout your entire journey while at Barry. I highly recommend this program to any prospective students who are looking for a program that will help guide them towards reaching their dreams of becoming a health professional!"

"I would highly recommend Barry University to any interested students. The faculty is helpful, amicable, and genuinely wants to see students succeed. I had a meaningful experience in the program that I believe will be beneficial towards my future career."

"Completing my Master's Degree in Biomedical Sciences at Barry University was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had amazing professors, I made a ton of friends, but most importantly, they helped me get prepared for professional school with the amazing curriculum the offer. I definitely recommend and encourage any person who is considering this program. Thanks to this program I have been accepted to dental school and I know I will do so well my first year."

"Barry's BMS program, hands down, is the reason I will be attending professional school this upcoming fall semester. I entered the program with a GPA and DAT score not competitive enough to even get an interview at any dental school. With guidance from the faculty, I worked extremely hard, learned a lot, and improved both my GPA and DAT - earning an acceptance. The Hollywood, FL building may not have all the bells and whistles but it most certainly has everything you will need to become successful! Rigorous curriculum, supportive faculty, and positive environment."

"Overall a highly recommended program to prepare you for professional school especially your first year of medical or dental school. Amazing staff and faculty who really care about you and are always there to help you reach your highest potential. Great networking, research, volunteering and outreach opportunities available through the various student organizations."

"This program make you a better student. It prepares you for professional school. Best decision I have made! It also better prepared me for the MCAT. I went from no interview invitation my first time applying to many interviews and acceptances to medical school."

"Barry University is liberal arts college located in the greater Miami area. They offer a variety of majors in the arts, as well as, biological and health sciences. I found the instructors in the biomedical sciences program excellent. They were invested in my education and did a great deal to help me and my fellow students succeed. The program was very rigorous. I was satisfied with my education there. I did find the administrative end of the university to be frustrating, but I experience these same hassles at other institutions. The registrar, financial aid, and admissions office will give you a run-around and you might need to call a few times to get in contact with somebody that actually can help. The main campus is located in a poorer area of Miami. The location does not feel that safe, but campus provides security and secure access. I would just recommend living a little away from the area if you live off campus."
