Hi all, I've talked to a few different people about this topic. Some are osteopathic students from years 1-3, and admissions committee members.
I am curious if showing direct intent to attend a specific school, (the intent shown to the adcom specifically) would be beneficial for a potential interview. I was told that a letter of intent is supposed to come only after the interview. But I am not sure if this is the standard or just that person's opinion.
I have made an effort to attend all the informational Webinars I can find for DO schools but recently discovered that COMPNW's program has piqued my interest due to their focus on Lifestyle medicine as a supplementary to their curriculum. As far as I know, very few other DO schools emphasize this, and this is what I am passionate about, so I would like to show my intent for that school in specific. Unfortunately, I did not personalize the secondary regarding this program before I submitted, because I found out about it after the fact. Luckily, I spoke to one of the people on phone under the "contact admissions" number, who told me I am relatively competitive with a 3.86 and a 503 MCAT. So I'm not sure. Rambling a bit here. Would love to hear some thoughts and opinions from experienced members.
TLDR: How to show deep interest in ONE particular DO school to the admissions committee pre-interview invite?
Thank you all, and good luck this cycle.
