[Mr. Babe]

You have nothing to worry about. You've done all that you can do. As they said, it's not a true evaluation so they don't care. Also, sorry to hear about the whole having to drop out. I wish you all the best and hope you get what you're looking for.

@Goro request your thoughts on this.

Agree 100%.

My school has accepted students from other med schools after they recovered from health issues that cause them to drop out.

I have several questions:

Can you get LORs from your DO school Faculty?

Are the health issues 100% under control? Particularly if they were mental health issues?

Why didn't you get a LOA?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I can ofcourse get LORs from my school. That would not be a problem as I have great working relationships with them. No mental health issues, just chronic health stuff that caused a major life saving surgery and co-morbidities from there. I did take several leaves to the tune of exhausting the 6 year rule hence it was then advised to withdraw for now and focus on my health which I did and have responded well.

I have two DO letters (one from an alumnus), a science professor from my undergrad, "premed" committee chairperson, medical school dean, dean from my masters program. I can add more letters but the limit was 6 and I understand it may become overkill. MCAT wasnt the best, but it got me in.

I am much better now, ailment free, just took its merry time to get better.

Although I will apply to other schools, I hope to get into the same school I started because I know the curriculum well, professors, and like some schools, my MCAT is still eligible although options are limited since some will not take mine.

I could have quit if I wanted, I dont want that, at this point, its going to be about being part of becoming someones fabric that I hope to be part of in giving them hope being a part of their life stitched in being their physician who didnt give up.

I think that your chances are excellent of getting in somewhere, and not merely someplace desperate to get a warm body either, like LMU or BCOM. Send an app to my school, somewhere west of St. Louis. Sorry, can't tell you exactly where!
