damn they definitely prefer VA residents but at least the number went down from 2014 to 2015

Yo everyone. Is it too late to apply. It seems on this forum that not too many people have been accepted. I didn't complete my primary to the DO school because I never took Biochem. The postbac doesn't require it though, so do you think that they can still access my AACOMAS stuff (LOR's, statement, transcripts etc). Also, do I have a good chance here?

I sent an update letter a little while ago and I'm still under review as of today. It's a tough wait, but it'll feel great once we're all in!

I just hope we hear something within a week. Anyone else studying for the MCAT right now, by the way?

Still under review also, and have my MCAT scheduled for 7/09.
 
I'm taking the MCAT June 18th. Praying it'll be the only time.

My application was complete in the beginning of March. Today I was told I would have a decision made by the beginning of May. Hope that gives some perspective to all of you who were complete far before me!

Just got my acceptance guys!!!

Full stats to help people gauge their chances:
3.0 cGPA, 2.8 sGPA (pretty low, I know at other places I interviewed the fact my university is highly ranked helped a lot, likely made a difference here)
502 MCAT
VA resident
2000+ hours of health-care related paid and volunteer work throughout college and during my gap-year.

I applied end of December/early January.

cGPA 3.2, sGPA 3.0, mcat 18. Retaking the mcat beginning of July.

I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I'm also a VA resident.

Hey guys! Just popping in to say congrats to everyone that got accepted so far. I'm really proud of you! For those of us who haven't- no matter what happens, we will all be fine ❤️ Remember, whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right. Bless! Hoping for the best :) (I applied in January but my application wasn't complete until mid-March because of my Rec letter).

Does anyone know or recommend a lender other than the two (Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo) provided on the website? I'm worried I wont be approved and wanted to look at other options.
