Athens is a great place. I went here for grad school and hope to be back for med school too! It's at the top of my list as well.
I'm planning to visit Athens sometime this summer or in the fall just as a mini weekend getaway. Any suggestions on places to stay or things to do?

A mini weekend getaway to Athens?? Hmm... unless you're coming to see the school (or party ) there isn't a whole lot to do. Which is why it's great to go to medical school here. Only thing to do is study! But Court street will make you feel like you're in college again if you want a little break
Party? never! I've never seen the campus despite having several friends who went to OU for undergrad so that's what I planned on doing. Might need to invest in some hiking boots if I'm gonna go DO though. All these schools are in east boofoo forest.
Quick question guys...
So I have shadowed 3 different DO's and a couple MD's. However nobody that I got to know very well. Thus I don't have a letter of recommendation from either, rather only a couple from teachers and one from a research director. I saw on the website that they "Strongly recommend" a letter from a DO. I have solid gpa (3.75) and am projecting a MCAT in the upper 20's. Will this lack of a recommendation from a DO hurt me very much?
Thanks so much!
just got an email from them:
The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) has received your primary application from the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS). Your application will go through an initial review to determine your status. Secondary application materials, if eligible, and initial status information, will be sent to the e-mail address listed in your AACOMAS application.
When does their secondary app generally come out?
Just received my confirmation email that the school received my AACOMAS application. Here we go!
When does their secondary app generally come out?
Secondary received. In state.
We have to mail our secondary? What? No electronic?
BS right?
Should I write this essay by candlelight too?
Has anyone gotten into this school without a D.O. LOR?
I would like to know this as well. I've got a really strong MD letter I submitted with the 2 science letters today in the secondary. Hope it will suffice....
So whats with this personal statement? You guys doing a little copy and paste from your AACOMAS? Or rewriting entirely?
rewrite entirely... this is your specific chance to explain yourself as to why you chose OU to apply to... its the way to make sure that you actually know a little about it or have a reason to apply there other than numbers of their past matriculants (like most people do... guilty as well).
is there way to type on this document? or do we hand write?
Forgot to send a check with my secondary
I honestly feel bad for you, but cant lie I kinda smiled only because I was one second away from sending it at the post office before realizing the check was still in my wallet. I wouldve been so pissed.
I hear that even though they make you sign a 5 year intent to practice contract if your out of state they still accept very little out of state applicants. Anybody know to what extent they accept out of state applicants?
Can someone post the prompts for the secondary?
