Hey! I went to school at the U of A for 5 years. I am an Oklahoma resident, though, born and raised all my life up near Tulsa. I wish you the best of luck! I will be graduating with the OSU-COM class of 2021!
I got into their dual degree program with a bit higher gpa and similar composite MCAT score. I also had a lot of ECs and real world experience. So, you should be golden!
They might also have a Peds/IM residency if I'm not mistaken!
Ah, that's really cool! I'm a little over an hour south of Fayetteville. Thank you for the kind words!
On my committee letter we had one guy who had all of the pre-med access accounts to all of the school data, letter portals, and all that sort of stuff that pre-med advisors have access to. He was the one we put down as the name for who would be submitting the committee letter. Just contact your committee and ask what information you need to provide on their behalf.
Not too happy with AACOMAS right now. They verified my grades today and told me my cGPA was a 3.32 and sGPA was 3.35. Apparently my retakes the last 3 years after a disastrous freshman year did not count because the course numbers were off by a few numbers (example being CHEM 1314 vs CHEM 1315)... My upward trend is 2.24 (ouch), 3.30 (last season of college sports), 3.72, and 3.84. All of my upper level courses are in my last two years as well, but I'm super bummed about my GPA. With the retakes, I should have been ~3.5. Literally wasted my time and money retaking courses for no reason!
They are asking which state do you claim to be a legal resident of. The residential stipulations are listed on the website, but if you have lived outside of Oklahoma for an extended period of time for anything other than school, then you have to have held a job for at least one year in the state of Oklahoma (full time) before you can claim legal residency. If you have never left the state, then just put in Oklahoma.
I am honestly not aware of the bridge program, however I know some people brought it up on the previous thread and I believe they said it was just brought back this year. So, in short, no I did not. I didn't show interest in anything because I was honestly uncertain if it would hinder my chances of getting into medical school. My thought process was, if I express interest in "x" field such as the dual degree program or something of that nature, then if the program fills up or if I don't meet the criteria of that program, they might just pass me over all together rather than just consider me for the D.O. degree by itself. However, that is not how OSU works. If you are interested in something other than just the D.O. degree or if you are interested in a specific track they offer at the school, then just check the box and move along. All that will happen is they will send you extra information to fill out (depending on the selection) and they will consider you for the "x" position if spots are available. If there are no spots available in that special program, then you will still be considered for the D.O. degree alone.
No They don't. It all has to be on file! But they don't even start reviewing until August so I think you'll be good.
I was in the first interview group last year and I didn't interview until October 30th. So you should be fine.
I'm sure that's fine. The admissions people are really nice and accommodating. Just give them a call or email when the time comes and they'll instruct you further.
Awesome, thank you! I wanted to go ahead and submit the secondary, but I also would love to have him as someone who is writing a LOR for me for this school. I'll go ahead and submit!
So without a DO letter they won't read your application for II anyway even though your other parts are complete, correct?
I was in the first interview group last year and I got called to schedule II at the beginning of October.
