OOS II will be declining
Hi! No I just had a different offer closer to home I think ATSU is a solid school and I’ve talked to some happy campers there. Don’t be nervous, be proud - it’s a great program! Regardless of wherever you go you’ll be a great doc.everyone declining makes me nervous about me considering coming here 😅

If you want to be a specialist it is generally considered a better idea to prioritize MD schools, DO schools tend to train you more on family medicine and internal medicine and pediatrics. In terms of those specialties, ATSU is an excellent school. Other people prioritize brain surgery or whatever, so they would not be wise to attend ATSU.I feel the same way

If you email admissions they will connect you with a current student. One of the students met with me over zoom and answered a ton of my questions about the classes and curriculum idk how many are on SDNWould any current ATSU SOMA students be willing to DM and answer some questions?
I haven't heard anything from here either.have they sent any pre-II Rs? I got a pre-II R from the Kirksville campus but have heard nothing at all from here

Yes, I just got an II last week.Has anyone with a sub-500 MCAT score gotten an II or acceptance from here?
No they are still interviewing through May! Still sending out acceptances so class isn’t full yethey guys do you think it's too late to send in a primary here?

I was accepted with score just below 500, had LOTS of other things on my application though as a non-trad.Has anyone with a sub-500 MCAT score gotten an II or acceptance from here?
No it’s more group conflict resolutionHi for anyone who's already interviewed, is the group interview like MMI?

Okay! Thanks for the encouragement ya'll.I interviewed last Monday 2/19 and they said they still have open seats in the class so worth a shot!
I am most likely going to withdraw my application and upcoming interview date. Hopefully, it can go to one of you guys!!
Congrats !! 🥳OOS acceptance today an hour ago. Just interviewed Monday 2/26. Super quick decision
ThanksCongrats !! 🥳
I submitted my secondary to ATSU around this time and had an II from them, albeit my LM was 70 and WARS was 71. Also, when I interviewed with ATSU-SOMA last cycle, I think they were mostly offering waitlist spots rather than acceptances since it's a bit late in the cycle.Anyone think it’s worth it to go ahead and submit my secondary at this point?
just curious did you end up getting an A after your interview?I submitted my secondary to ATSU around this time and had an II from them, albeit my LM was 70 and WARS was 71.

Oh I got rejected actually, I think what killed my application, besides the poor internet quality I was facing during my Zoom interview, was when my interviewer asked how many medical schools I applied for as the last question of my interview, and I didn't wanna say I applied to 59 schools and was applying to ATSU for some safety school options because I was only II'ed at 3 schools at the time, and waitlisted at all 3 schools. I fumbled at answering that question and I tried to keep the number confidential for privacy reasons. I could tell they didn't like applicants who were applying to a lot of schools and who lacked a strong commitment/interest to ATSU-SOMA and its Osteopathic/community medicine/primary care-focused mission.just curious did you end up getting an A after your interview?
thank you for the comprehensive answer and hope you secured the A elsewhere!Oh I got rejected actually, I think what killed my application was when my interviewer asked how many medical schools I applied for, and I didn't wanna say I applied to 59 schools and was applying to ATSU for some safety school options because I was only II'ed at 3 schools at the time, and waitlisted at all 3 schools.

Thankfully, I reapplied Early Decision to my state school and got accepted there, my state school was my top choice and cheapest choice too!thank you for the comprehensive answer and hope you secured the A elsewhere!
Not too sure tbh. I wasn't asked about anything specific within my application during both interviews, so I'm assuming its closedDoes anyone know if the interview is open or closed-file?
There are still spots!Does anyone know if there are still spots available here? Interview scheduled for 4/8 and just wondering if they are already waitlisting or not.
