Very good chance of being taken off of the alternate list. If this is your #1 school, send in updates periodically to let them know you are interested in CCOM.

I was pulled off the waitlist two years ago. Like stated above, send in updates periodically to reinforce your desire to go here and to showcase any improvements to your candidancy. They’ll generally start pulling towards the end of May

They give it to you during your interview. All of the sites are located in Chicago for your 3rd year.

Quick Question: So I received an II about 2 weeks ago, I was wondering how competitive this school was compared to other DO programs?

Its reputation is excellent among DOs but I would wager the price tag might lessen its overall "competitiveness" for admission.

Did anyone here get an II without a DO LOR?

 

[Welp.Theres.That]

Did anyone here get an II without a DO LOR?

I applied to azcom and got a hold email, but they marked my application complete. I only had MD LORS. I think they state it on their website too.

I applied here too ccom and they marked my file complete so I’m assuming it met their criteria.

I don't think it's necessarily required, but I would say it is definitely preferred. If you can't get a DO LOR, then you should at least have a lot of DO shadowing hours.

 

[Rainbows&Waterfalls]

After much consideration, I will be withdrawing my acceptance.
I have been contemplating the CCOM vs. DMU issue for a few months now and finally decided that DMU is a better fit for me.
While I know $$$ isn't everything, the price tag at CCOM was simply something I could not get over (amongst other variables of course!)
As the D.O. deposit deadline is fast approaching, I wish those of you in similar situations the best of luck. Also, good luck to those with IIs soon!!

BEST of luck to you! DMU is a great school!

 

[ab1995]

I took a look at last year's thread and noticed that there were quite a few acceptances given out before the holidays for those who interviewed in early December! Hoping this is a true again this year! I interviewed last week.

I received an email with a link to download an app, which pairs to Facebook. You can reach out to students from there.
