** 2008-2009 Secondary Application Thread! **

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do any of the DO schools have a secondary application with no charge.....or any DO schools that dont REQUIRE a secondary?

thanks!
 
First question: No, unless you can get a waiver.

Second question: I think NYCOM doesn't require a secondary. Don't know about others.

Third question: What's a predent doing here?
 
I think NYCOM requires a secondary only if you are invited for an interview
 
I didn't apply for the MD school. I'm your DO at heart here. I was accepted shortly after my letters arrived at WVSOM. My point is, the letters can always be sent later. Get your app in as soon as possible. Trust me, it feels good to be in the first interview group at a few schools and accepted to three by the end of October.
I am new to this and I just saw your post and you said you are a 'DO' at heart. I am guessing u'd be better than I am in answering a question like this: 'why do u want to become an osteopathic physician?' I have ideas, but I do not feel like they are strong and solid enough to get me an interview.

You're going to have to be able to answer that question a lot, both for the schools as well as for yourself. If you genuinely feel that you cannot answer that question, perhaps you should do more research into the profession and why it fits your idea of medicine.
 
I have questions about ATSU-SOMA's prompt:
How does your character, qualities, and experiences distinguish your ability and resolve to serve in underprivileged communities?
That's a very specific question. The problem with me is, I don't have any experience working with the underprivileged. How should I approach this prompt?
