New year, new talk here!
check out the pros/cons of DO schools in the DO forum.
Here's one review: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=10572222#post10572222http://forums.studentdoctor.net/search.php?searchid=16177338
someone should really divide that thread into individual components for each school-if possible. it just doesn't make sense to go through the entire thing if ur looking for a single school review(search funtion is kinda useless in this case).
-this is coming from someone who has gone through the entire thread several time in the past.
i added this school to my list for this year despite the sticker price. i heard that housing is quite expensive around UNE, are there any on/close to campus grad resident apartments around the area like schools such as NSU, MWU both have
thanks man, i actually checked that out before. i'm not really familiar with the area so would you know if the housing they talk about there, is close like in walking distance from campus. commuting each day during undergrad really sucks. don't want to do that in med school.

I just got my acceptance and am most concerned with finding a place to live. Do you know how your going about searching for a place to live and/or finding a roommate? Is there a facebook group for our class?
Hi everyone,
I will be an MS2 at UNECOM and am working with a new program that the school is offering this summer for all prospective medical students. I thought some of you may be interested so I offered to post the official statement on here. Any questions, please feel free to contact the office. I can also answer any questions related or unrelated to this program!
Attention prospective medical students! The University of New Englands College of Osteopathic Medicine is offering weekly summer informational sessions where you will have the opportunity to tour facilities, interact with current students, and meet one on one with faculty or administration to receive feedback on your current or future application. Sessions will take place every Friday between June 24 and August 19, excluding August 5. Please contact the College of Medicine Office of Constituent Services for more information.

Does UNECOM give out secondaries earlier to people from certain regions? I've started receiving secondaries from other schools I've applied to, but not UNECOM, even though someone from MI already received a secondary from UNECOM.
thanks.
I'm from OR and received my secondary on 7/1, but as a reference, I had my primary (and all necessary documents) submitted to AACOMAS 6/1 and they released my primaries to schools on 6/23. Hope this helps answer your question.
Your release schedule is the same as mine. I've already received a fair amount of secondaries from other schools...just not UNECOM. Should I contact them about this? I was actually able to input my info on their secondary app website and get my own form to fill and submit. I just haven't gotten an email from them with the pdf instructions. I don't want to seem too pushy if I contact them too early, but I would like a head start if possible. Any advice?

I submitted my AACOMAS application as soon as I could and I also have not received a secondary from UNECOM. I'm a Texas resident.
I'm in the same boat as you... I live in CT. Submitted June 1st, and have received a few supplementals but not UNECOM's. I dunno what's up with their system... Let me know when you get yours.
Does anyone have any idea how to pay the supplemental application fee for UNECOM? I submitted my DO app last week but didn't pay the fee yet... Did people just call into Student Accts?
Any news on getting that secondary yet? I still haven't gotten mine. Do you guys think it's been sufficient time to contact them about this?
Still no secondary from UNECOM. Does everyone get it or do they screen?
I called UNECOM and they told me they send supplementary apps to qualified applicants. The GPA requirements were pretty damn lenient. The lady I spoke to said they sent out approximately 2,700 secondaries to 3,300 applicants for the 2014 class, so the majority of applicants will get one.
Are all the secondary questions required?
For example, I don't have any gaps in employment or education, and I didn't have any academic difficulties worth mentioning. I'd rather just leave these questions blank.
For the why UNECOM, what do you guys think about this one? Normally I find out a lot about a school when I interview and that's when I know why I like that school.
UNE is my top choice. I'm a NH resident and had a cGPA 3.5 as an undergrad and currently 3.7 as a graduate in biomedical science. I took the mcat in April and got a 22. I re-took the Mcat but haven't gotten my scores back yet. Do I have a chance at getting into UNE?
anybody know what the word limit is on the essay questions?
Why are u applying to UNECOM then? What attracts u to the school? Have u checked out their website? Anything that perks ur interest there? I wouldn't apply to schools that I don't wanna spend the next 4yrs at.
Also IMH don't ever leave a question blank. It makes it look like u didn't even try to answer the question or forgot it completely. If u had no difficulties or no gaps then say that. However don't finish off there but spin the answer to mention why they should accept u and why u will be a good doc; like having no gaps show ur determination and whatnot.

1. Describe your particular interest in attending the UNE-COM and any contact you have had with UNE-COM students, alumni, faculty or clinicians, admissions/student affairs staff members, etc. How did these interactions influence your decision to apply?
2. Please explain any gaps in education or employment. Indicate any changes/additions in education, employment, experiences, research, etc. since submitting your AACOMAS application.
3. Please explain any academic difficulties you encountered during your academic career. What insight or knowledge have you gained from these experiences that you will bring to your studies at UNE-COM?
4. Describe how you see the role of physicians in society (outside the direct practice of medicine). What experiences have you had that demonstrate your readiness to meet these future role expectations?
