I hope one of you gets my interview spot! JUst respectfully declined II. The date I signed up for was 10/17. So if anyone of you wants that date, go ahead and e-mail the admissions office.
Over the phone, they gave me a choice of 4 datesWhen offered an interview, do you select date over phone or on a portal? Are you given multiple dates to choose from?
I don't remember them mentioning the USMLE, aside from the fact that the dean kept insisting that we don't need to worry about it (I disagree but whatever). The COMLEX scores/pass rates were significantly higher for the most recent class than the previous years. I want to say 99-100% pass rate, and their scores put them in the top 5-6 of all DO programsDoes anyone that interviewed recently remember the board scores/pass rate for CUSOM? I was curious about both COMLEX and USMLE, but it has been a while since my interview.

Thanks for the stats! I could not quite remember what they had said when I interviewed. I remember them saying that CUSOM was like ranked 11th out of all DO schools, but they must have updated it. Did they say which class it was for? Maybe they meant the overall first class was ranked 11th (I think they have only graduated one class). I am just confused by all of the numbers out there. But in any case, that is very good for such a new school.
It was for the current 3rd year students. Their scores were a huge jump in both average score and pass rate.Thanks for the stats! I could not quite remember what they had said when I interviewed.

It seems like you have an answer to your question. I personally wouldn't attend more than 2 interviews if I have already been accepted in my top choice. FYI: CUSOM is a great school, although it's relatively new.I just received an offer of an interview here but have already scheduled 6 interviews with an admission already. Would it be worth to still attend this interview with limited finances?

Check their website but I don't think soAm I too late to submit a secondary to this school? MCAT-511 cGPA-3.71 sGPA-3.65
If you're still interested then definitely apply! I have similar stats as you, submitted my secondary about two weeks ago and received an II last week for end of October. I was very impressed by the quick turn around.Am I too late to submit a secondary to this school? MCAT-511 cGPA-3.71 sGPA-3.65
I'm interviewing here Monday! Can current students speak to how rotation sites are assigned--lottery system?? Also, how many hours are you in class per week and does this greatly affect outside study time? Are students permitted to wear headphones/ear plugs during class time and study at their own pace as opposed to listening to the lecturer? I know that sounds rude but I don't learn well by listening to someone talk for hours on end.
If you are selected, you'll receive an email with directions. Pretty easy essay. Don't mind sharing, but it seems like it's different for each candidate.Anyone know if scholarships are something you apply for or are selectively contacted about/given?
They call you after a bit if you are accepted. I got one but may give up my seat/scholarship.Anyone know if scholarships are something you apply for or are selectively contacted about/given?
Why is that? If you don't mind my asking.They call you after a bit if you are accepted. I got one but may give up my seat/scholarship.
I was also just accepted to VCOM-A, which is like 20 minutes from where I live compared to 7 hours away. Both facilities are about the same, but VCOM has the Auburn affiliation which I feel will benefit with research opportunities and all. The schools seem similar academically, but the convenience factor is different for me personally. I'm still deciding whether the scholarship is more important than that though.Why is that? If you don't mind my asking.
There is no place like home brother. I live 20 min from CUSOM, I didn't bother attending my interview at Brody because I wasn't willing to drive 1h30 one way each day! We wish you well wherever you go. Remember the most important is to have a good training as a physician; it doesn't matter whether it's a CUSOM, VCOM or the moon. Just enjoy the next few years, learn the most and serve your patients and the community. If you decide to come to CUSOM, you know you'll always be bienvenue.

I interviewed yesterday and they said the latest we may be notified is November 15th.
I got the complete email yesterday and literally got the II a few hours later!Would you mind sharing your complete date? I got my complete email recently and am really hoping for some love from this school!
Don't lose hope! I'm sure I'm one of those weird cases.I got the complete email yesterday and literally got the II a few hours later!
It depends, my group was 24 because they bumped a group because of the hurricane. They said it should normally be about 16 though. The interview day is very nice! The area is disappointing but they do a GREAT job of selling their program!Does anyone know how many people they bring in to interview on each day? I was just curious.
It was about 2 weeks for meII just now! Can anyone comment on the turn around time for knowing if you are accepted post-interview? Thanks in advance!! I'm really excited!!
