hey I have a question to add to this, how long has it been taking for you guys to receive your secondaries?

I have 14/19 of my secondaries.
i'm about the same...seems like every school has sent something out except pnwu...
Let's go schools!! Secondaries are so last week...let's get some interviews lined up
No I mean how long did it take after you sent in your primary to receive your secondary apps? I just sent mine in last week, that's why I ask.
I just submitted AACOMAS and it will probably be a couple of weeks before I am verified/released. All of my letter writers have turned their LoR's in to my undergrad's LoR service (they submit them via Virtual Evals.) I have heard it can to my undergrads LoR service a long time to get them sent out. Is it ok if I have them send the LoR's now, or do I need to wait until I start getting secondaries?
Bump
Hi,
I have submitted my primary application and it was finally sent to schools this week..
Do I need to hear from the schools I have applied to in order to fill in the secondary application?
Thanks.
Hey so I applied to 19 DO schools and am still missing like 5 or 6 secondaries. I've gotten about 13 so far. Is this regular or should I have all my secondary invites by now. I sent in my aacomas application early june. Thanks in advance for your input!

I have been staring at these questions for about half a month already. I feel as if my ECs are just sub-par. I don't have any real volunteer work, and I guess I just experience the world differently than an osteopath. Also the competition to get into a DO seems just as hard as MD, but the criteria of evaluation is focused on ECs. My circumstances just don't make volunteering easy, and it's not like I am doing DO because it's easier. Maybe I should apply again next year after figuring something out?
you seem very misinformed. DO schools focus on MCAT/GPA just as much as they do on ECs.
Both secondaries ask to "List any relative who is an osteopathic physician:" The physician's name, relationship, osteopathic college attended and year graduated is required. What happens in the case that I don't have any direct relatives that are osteopathic physicians? Do I leave it blank? I have a relative that is currently in an osteopathic program but they are asking for graduates, so I don't think my listing him would be appropriate. Can anyone offer any guidance?
This is going to sound kind of dumb, but they're just asking for "volunteer" experiences, correct? In other words, would shadowing count? I'm not sure where in the secondary app I would list my shadowing experiences.It says briefly describe, as in a few sentences. Just summarize what it was, what you did, how long you did it for and what you learned from it.
