So strange I submitted my secondary on 11/19 and did not receive a completion email.
V true haha. Also, seemingly random question here, but did you have to do anything after submission since you were a FAP applicant? I didn't know if we had to email admissions or anything

It said on the end of the secondary that we didn't have to worry about it.
Secondary submitted 11/24. Complete email 11/28.
the random nature of these completion emails is throwing me off
Me too... never got a completion email, submitted 11/15... it's definitely anxiety-producing.
Then who would attend their DO school? Doesnt really make sense to me. I'm thinking it will be a lot easier to fill a MD class than a DO class
Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to me. But more than one person on reddit has said they were offered acceptance at the MD school after being admitted to the DO school. I get the sense that it may not be *everyone* accepted before December 1, and rather just a few select students. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain they've already accepted >50 students to the DO school, and thus would be able to fill their class entirely based on that (assuming a solid # aren't super set on being DOs).

This would be very unsettling if true
I agree. Somewhat less than fair too, given that someone would have gotten accepted to an allopathic program (and an osteopathic) without possibly paying for an AMCAS submission. I guess someone should probably ask admissions this...
sounds shady....
Posted on the Nova DO thread and I can at least say now that it definitely wasn't a blanket thing where all applicants accepted early were given the option of attending the MD school. In fact, nobody on SDN has said that they were given that offer. So, for all we know, it may have just been trolls on reddit. Not too sure at this point.
Wut. I'm hoping this is untrue, otherwise I would've appreciated more transparency on NSU's part. There are only 50 MD spots. What would be left over for the MD applicants to interview for? Haha.
Sounds like trolls. I was one of the first students to be accepted to NOVA (I interviewed in August. That's how early it was) and not such thing was offered to me nor some other colleagues I interviewed with. People trying to rile things up.

Now y'all got me searching the net to see if DO students are given preference to the new MD program... makes no sense.
I'm gonna be conservative and say the most likely scenario is that they probably offered like 5-10 DO applicants MD offers. I'm not exactly sure how the logistics for that would work without those applicants submitting an AMCAS application, but I don't really know why anyone would lie about that.
Was complete 11/20 and just got an II today (11/30). That's pretty fast turnaround.
Issue is that they scheduled me Dec 8 which is the same day as another medical school interview for me. Is there no flexibility?

Congrats!! I was complete 11/11, I guess they passed over me.

I don't think its true. They have no reason to do it. I'm sure they will receive more than enough applications without digging into the DO school pool. The only benefit to them is that they save time by quickly filling the class, but they would be losing money by not getting that secondary fee from them.

Also in the silence squad. Completed on 11/15 but no complete email. Lizzy M ~70. Sadness.
Submitted secondary on 11/28, received complete email on 11/29.
Maybe they only started sending out complete emails recently?

Is it a file complete email? or secondary received?
I never got a complete email before my II so don't lose hope, friend.

Me too. I wonder what they're looking for in their applicants. I clearly don't have it, whatever it is. 😕
Oh I'm not sure LOL this is what it says:

I should clarify, I did not receive a complete email. I submitted my secondary on the 24th.
Isn't that just the message on the screen after you submit? Or you actually got this as a seperate email?
I got it as a separate email one day after I submitted my secondary!
It's essentially the same message right after you submit. They just also sent it officially in a separate email for our own reference.
+1 Interview Offers 🙂
They were lengthy but not at the maximum length. Most were about 3700 characters of a maximum 4000. But I have a tendency to be on the longer end of all of the prompts. Just my writing style.

I can re-confirm that you're okay if you didn't get the complete email. Emailed the admissions address yesterday asking if my file really was complete, and they said it was. Neuroticism for the win!
I think most of mine were like 1-2k characters. One might've been closer to 3k but most of mine were pretty short
I'm having same exact problem. Scheduled on Dec 8. I emailed them and haven't heard back. Have you heard anything?
Tried calling a few times today (like 6) over several hours and no one answered. I just emailed as well
Just to update, they were very accommodating and allowed me to change dates!
