I haven't got an interview from Scholl or AZPod yet. Do they wait until all LOR are in? I got an email 8 days ago saying that my application was received

Scholl waits for at least 1 LoR I think. I called them yesterday and she said they would be reviewing my application this week even though I only have 1 LOR.

EDIT:

Got an interview at Temple! Still waiting for Schollllllllllllll!!!!

Temple oct 1st, and Scholl oct 11th!

I'm not set on DMU. I want to check out the other programs first. See what they offer and how DMU compares. If i had to answer, I'd say DMU is my #1, but I want to make sure I'm making an informed vacation.


Also, yes. I like road trips/time off school.

my final interview schedule looks like this
October 1 - Temple
October 22 - Barry
October 26 - Kent
November 5 - CSPM

If i retook the mcat and did well in biochem like ocpm wanted me too, could i reapply later in the cycle even though i was denied admission?

your best bet is to ask the schools directly ..... but if they say no then i would withdraw my app it would look better that you reapplied bcs you withdrew than because you were rejected( there is a part in the app that asks about this ) . But like i said talk to the schools first.

uhh ohh Pod Dates

MaxillofacialMN <3 AmArIe sitting in a tree lmao

Being I have a family, and going to have to move, and sell a townhouse... doh its going to effing suck.

Playing devil advocate, I have the 90+hrs needed for the schools, what if I was accepted and asked if I could take a semester off, forfeit my degree - in planning to to move for the next school year.

I know I won't do it, but thinking how the extra time would help enormously.

Haha oh goodness...

Anatomy lecture sucksssss

Is it a good idea to schedule your Temple and CSPM interviews so far away from each other? You have 30 days after an acceptance to respond, right? What if you get an acceptance from Temple on say, October 6th. That would mean that you would have to respond to that acceptance by November 5th, the day of your CSPM interview.

Yeah, but she will get you the buffers you need in a sec when you're taking a chem course.

An informed vacation...i see where your mind is

Haha perhaps! I really need to figure out the whole airport-->hotel--->temple--->airport transportation....

Any advice?

@MaxillofacialMN sorry I'm too lay to look it up, but how much was deposit to hold your spot at DMU? and how long do they give you to make a choice?

I'm worried my interview at cspm is like 3 weeks apart, and wouldn't want to forfeit a seat, to chance for cspm. I may have to put down $ to hold it just in case.

If you explain your situation they will give you more than 30 days to decide. If a school accepts you they want you there.

Don't disregard my post. They will give you more than 30 days if you are still interviewing in the near future. This was a fact said by a DMU student that had to deal with that situation.

Can I take the Jan MCAT and apply in March and still be admitted?

Yes, although some of the schools with smaller class sizes (DMU, AZPOD, Western) might be full by the time you apply. There will still be plenty of seats left at the other schools so do not worry. It is also not uncommon for students to apply late in the Spring and still be accepted.

I was just answering the question! He asked how many we are given. We are given 30 days, if you request more, you might be able to get more, but they give you 30.

Haha I'm just teasing ;]

Thanks. I am trying to go to Barry. I live in S.Fla my whole life cant imagine not being here.

Just a question: Does NYCPM have an actual campus? Every picture I've seen of it looks like just a run down building in the middle of Harlem. Does it have a quad or a field or anything like that?

NYCPM is basically two buildings that are connected and that's it. Though outside may look old, they recently renovated their facilities so it looks nice in the inside (personal opinion). I actually thought it looked a lot better than Temple. when I was at Temple this week for the interview, we were informed that they are trying to renovate their facility. but they said the same thing a year ago and nothing changed.

I've got orthopedics capstone clinic/lecture/workshop from 8am-3pm that day. If you stick around after your interview we could meet up and I can answer any questions you may have about Scholl. I used to be in charge of the student tour guides during my second year so I can still give some valuable perspective about the school. Or, if you are still in the area the following day, October 19th, I will be done with class by 12pm. We could meet up then. Your decision.

PM me if you want.
