BassCaster, thanks for your response!
DMU secondary has an optional question if I want to let them know something at the end.
What are you guys write there?
Thanks
So the essay is below. My question is do they want two separate pages or all on one?
Applicant Essay:
Please complete your essay and include your responses to the following questions: (Please use font size 12 and limit your essay to one page. You may attach your essay to the application if additional space is needed.)
1. Explain the process by which you decided that osteopathic medicine was right for you?
2. How does the osteopathic profession fit into your professional goals and values?
hey, im a rookie and cant seem to find the thread that has all the DO's secondaries for 2009/2010 again? its bugging me, can you please tell me what to search for or send me a link. for instance, i was looking for the touro and western secondary threads. thanks, ill keep searching as well. take care,

If a secondary asks for work experience during undergraduate or health-care related experience, can I just copy and paste from the primary application? Why are they asking this information if they already have it.
If the secondary app has two questions, do people general respond with a page for each question or combine the two responses into one essay? The apps just said a brief statement, so I'm not too sure if I should combine them or not. Thanks in advance.
hey!
So i sent my primary to a bunch of DO schools but at this point i want to decide ~4 schools to send my secondary too. I live in Dallas, TX and am deciding on schools based on a: quality/reputation of school, b: location of school (is it easily accessible, near a major airport), c: tuition, d: out of state friendly. So far i have received secondaries from the schools listed below. anyone have any recommendations on which ones i should choose to send secondaries to??
LECOM Bradenton
De Moines University
CCOM (Chicago)
PCOM (Philadelphia)
MSUCOM (Michigan)
Arizona Midwestern
UMNDJ
NYCOM
NOVA southeastern
ATSU-SOMA (Arizona)
ATSU-KCOM (Kirksville)
Thanks sooo much! any advice would be much appreciated!
For the PCOM secondary essay: "Why PCOM and why DO"
the instructions say brief statement, so how long does the essay have to be, 1 or 2 pages?
Hey everyone,
I just had a quick question. I have looked at the threads into osteopathic secondaries (still waiting for mine to be verified). I was wondering what the secondary is for Nova South-eastern University and LMU-DCOM for those that have recieved them and the word/page limit for KCUMB, LECOM, PCOM and WVSOM.
Thanks for any insight

FOR LECOM Secondary essays, do both questions have to be answered in one essay or separate essays?
How long is the essay supposed to be?
--Write a personal essay describing yourself and the qualities you possess that will make you a successful osteopathic physician
--Why are you interested in attending the LECOM College of Medicine to earn the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine?
When stating reasons for applying to a given school on secondaries is listing proximity to family considered a valid reason for applying to a school (besides whatever academic/clinical reasons also make you want to go there)?
so..does anyone know how long does it usually take to get an interview invitation or rejection from schools after you sent in your secondaries??
Verified last monday, and still no secondary from DO schools? I applied to 2 only. How long does it take to get your app from AACOMAS?
