Received the phone call last week and sending in the deposit on monday! After my interview I was sold. real excited to finally start med school!
FYI, I did the background. Go to precheck.com and there should be a tab that says students on the front page. There is another click in there someplace and then it will give you the option to pick Edward Via COM. Getcha 67.50 ready too.
I deactivated my fb for a little while so you are the sole admin now. I checked to make sure it was public before I did. It should be fixed nowOhhhhhh I wondered why it was just me and @dothanmedic81 on there...
Do you mind share your stats?
My primary was verified September 18th but so far heard nothing from either campus....

Hey, so I was accepted Oct 29th and still haven't been able to get a DO letter in order. I've called some DOs in my area and they haven't gotten back to me. I even emailed Jasmine to get a list from her and called some this morning but they haven't called back either. I am unsure of how to proceed because the deadline to hold my seat is quickly approaching and I want to send the Acceptance offer form + Check + Intent to get a DO rec letter all in one envelope so that all of my documents do not get separated.
What do?
I was wondering if this school does silent rejection. I have submitted my primary long time ago, haven't even anything from them yet....
Thank you for your information. I will surely call them.They don't do silent in the true sense...I applied last year and didn't even get a secondary. Five months later I finally got a rejection and a generalized explanation. So not silent, but also not immediate in my case. Hang in there though, I went from not getting a secondary to getting in this year. Make sure you call them and ask about improving your app for next year if it doesn't work out.
Mine was very Biochem heavy. Know your amino acids backwards and forwards. Do as many practice questions as possible!Secondary received! Waiting to take the MCAT In January. I've heard the new MCAT is biochem heavy. Does anyone have any valuable advice for taking the new one? ive Been studying and still have two months left. I use Khan Academy for a study tool and the Princeton review for practice exams.
When were you complete?
Some time in October and received the complete email yesterday followed by II today.When were you complete?

I took mine in July and there was a good amount of Biochem. I would know my AAs as mentioned by another poster. Honestly, I took the MCAT 3x times, I used Kaplan the last time and EK the first two. Everyone swears by EK, but I honestly think there is no substitute for putting in the time. Increased time is the only thing I did differently besides the Kaplan and taking a 6 hour Phys course which helped tremendously.
I will always swear by the EK books as long as you supplement them a little. I supplemented EK with a Berkley review book, a Princeton review book, and YouTube and nailed the MCAT first time. However, as you said, there's no substitute for getting down to the brass tax and doing the work.
Nope, but get on it. They have a fast turnaround!Am I too late to apply here? 3.45/27 MCAT

Hey guys recently submitted my secondary, and I know VCOM basically gives you an interview wherever they feel you fit best, but I am really captivated by the aspect of being linked to Auburn University... I am from no where near the southern USA though. Has anyone here gotten an interview to the Auburn campus who isn't from the south? Do the place emphasis on being from the south to have you interview at the Auburn campus? Thanks.
Don't rule yourself out just because of distance! I'm from South Dakota and was fortunate to receive an interview and subsequent acceptance.Hey guys recently submitted my secondary, and I know VCOM basically gives you an interview wherever they feel you fit best, but I am really captivated by the aspect of being linked to Auburn University...

I just got an II here, but I am torn as to go or not. I literally just turned down my ACOM II because of lack of money, but now I am having second thoughts and thinking of going to this interview to see what they have to offer. Does this campus stand out in any special way? By the way, I HAVE read the past posts, but since there are very few pages I kind of want to get more current feedback now that people have had multiple interviews and can actually compare campuses. Thank you all, very much.
Very nice! Yes, I have a friend attending Auburn U right now and she says that Auburn is an extremely difficult university to get into and it is very good for research as well, which I agree 100%. This is exciting, as I would love to do research. The only thing is that the school I have been accepted to is also affiliated with a major university, which for D.O. schools seems to be fairly uncommon. The school I attend MUST have a major university affiliated with it and both of these schools do. I think I may attend the interview just to get a second look. Thank you for your input!Just a single building, but it's beautiful and brand-new right near Auburn U's campus. The building is literally a couple blocks from the Auburn football stadium. Anatomy lab is up on fourth floor instead of the basement of most schools. I've had a few interviews elsewhere to compare with this school. I thought this school had some of the nicest facilities, just due to how new everything was. I think the affiliation with Auburn University is a huge perk as well, especially for research opportunities. This was my first interview this cycle and I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed like a very comfortable environment to learn in. All of the faculty and students were extremely welcoming.
I had never been to Auburn nor am I from the south, but I could definitely see myself being happy living there. It's making my decision for next year very difficult.
