No they're not. My stats are higher and I've received a buttload of MD rejections and no II's but 6 DO II's.Your stats are off the charts in terms of DO.
First, I mentioned only DOs, not MDs. I am sorry to hear that you got rejected by some MD schools but you did mention receiving interview invites for DOs (six to be exact). To me, those are plenty of interviews to give you an opportunity to head into a DO school.No they're not. My stats are higher and I've received a buttload of MD rejections and no II's but 6 DO II's.
I agree they are not "off the charts" but he/she was clearly supplying a peer with much-needed confidence. No reason for negativity here.No they're not. My stats are higher and I've received a buttload of MD rejections and no II's but 6 DO II's.
Lol uh, okay.I agree they are not "off the charts" but he/she was clearly supplying a peer with much-needed confidence. No reason for negativity here.
Congrats!! When were you complete?Received an interview invite today! Anyone know any more information other than 3 one-on-one interviews? Are they blind?

Hi Me!II 23rd of October! Who will be there?
3.2 GPA in the last 120 hours. I don't think there is a minimum MCAT but I might be wrong.Does anyone know their minimum GPA and MCAT Requirements? Do they screen pre-secondary?
I don't get it. So how would I know what GPA I have in the last 120 hours lol? AACOMAS doesn't say anything about that3.2 GPA in the last 120 hours. I don't think there is a minimum MCAT but I might be wrong.
You could print a copy of your transcripts and go to one of those GPA calculator sites and manually calculate it. It will probably take ten minutes or so.I don't get it. So how would I know what GPA I have in the last 120 hours lol? AACOMAS doesn't say anything about that

Interviewed here yesterday 10/10/17. This was my first interview. It was nothing like I had expected. I was extremely nervous but from the moment I got there at 9am, I immediately felt at ease. Everyone is extremely friendly. I was worried about being grilled on the 1-2 negative aspects of my academic history, but my interviewers made an effort to get to know me outside of my grades and scores. They were extremely warm and inviting. I would suggest loosening up and interacting with your fellow interviewees. With the exception of maybe one person, we were all pretty engaged with each other which made the experience much more relaxing and comfortable. They do a short introduction to the school then take you on a tour of Spartanburg and stop at the Y (I won't go into detail, but this part of the tour was particularly hilarious). We then went back to the school and had a short break prior to the three one-on-one interviews. The interviews felt relatively short. I was worried how I would talk about myself for a whole 30 minutes but because of the conversational feel, it went by much quicker. After the interviews we had two OMS1's take us for a quick tour of the school. It deserves it's current ranking as one of the most beautiful medical schools in the US for sure. After that, they provided lunch where we were able to chat with two OMS2's who were great. Next was a very brief (and for me overwhelming) presentation about financial aid. Then we wrapped up the day and were sent on our way! We were told that the decisions would be made by early next week. The wait is killing me but I'm glad it's not too long of one. We were done by about 1:50pm. Overall very impressed with the school.
If accepted, how much time does VCOM give you to make a decision? Till mid Dec, I'm assuming?
Accepted!!!

Cool, thanks for checking! Mine is back, too.Just wanted to let you guys know that my status bar is back so that you guys could keep checking your status as well. I am assuming that it was a website error and did not mean anything!
Also, congratulations to everyone that has been accepted! That is so exciting!
