I feel like it is a competitive pool than usual. Got an email today saying I was denied here but my application wasn’t even complete and missing a letter. Good luck to everyone else!Pre-interview waitlist.
3.98 GPA, 506 MCAT
Not sure why. Perhaps they got a more competitive pool this year. I'm seeing people with like 510 on the MCAT getting interviews here.
I would email them. I don’t believe they should have reviewed your application without it being complete. This could well be a mistakeI feel like it is a competitive pool than usual.

I emailed them when they sent me an email saying my application is complete and under review. I told them that I did not have a letter in yet and they replied saying thanks for letting them know. I did email again asking if it was because of the letter or something else I got denied.I would email them. I don’t believe they should have reviewed your application without it being complete.

Well they emailed me back and said the competition has been very strong in years past and that’s why they decided to move ahead with reviewing my application. They said I had a strong application but my MCAT was too low for an interview. Good luck to everyone else applying here!HOLISTIC
What is your MCAT if you don't mind me asking?Well they emailed me back and said the competition has been very strong in years past and that’s why they decided to move ahead with reviewing my application.

Took it twice. Average is 500What is your MCAT if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks for sharing... I applied here with a 504 and am hoping I have a shot. Good luck with your other applications!!Took it twice. Average is 500
Does anybody have an idea of how many applicants are accepted from those that interview?
Mine was a 2 on 1 just a heads up it might be different depending on your day/interview. Mine was with a basic science faculty and a 4th yearIt has always been $1000 and non-refundable unless they changed it for this year.
Yes to both. One Health Initiative is really used to satisfy the interdisciplinary course requirement for all schools. I personally think talking about why you believe that you will be able to succeed in school A is a better approach than to "I like school A because I think One Health Initiative is a really cool and important idea to promote."
Traditional 3 vs. 1.; 2 AZCOM Faculty, 1 student or another faculty. Note that this last faculty may not be part of the school. Meaning they can be a professor teaching Vet med, PA, etc.
This is a quote that gets thrown around a lot - I’d say if you’re waitlisted you have a pretty good chance of being removed off of the waitlist but it really depends on the year and the amount of waitlist movement (last year, tons of movement, this year not as much)I wish I knew! I my interview is scheduled for the last week of August. I read somewhere that there is an acceptance rate of somewhere around 70% of those that were granted interviews. But it was a couple years back. Only like 5000 applied last year so that would make sense?

Isn't their average MCAT a 505 though? So they must be interviewing people who have a 502ish MCATI received an email back saying that to be considered for an interview, the committee is looking for applicants who have higher than 3.3 science gpa (3.3 is the minimum), and at least 506 mcat along with good healthcare extracurriculars.

It's probably give or take, im not sure. that's what the email told me, but im sure they're interviewing people with lower than 506. There are many other variables in this process too, so im sure they couldn't fully disclose their entire method.Isn't their average MCAT a 505 though?

did you meet the GPA requirement and did they send that before or after the secondary?
At the moment or in all? Because then I just wasted my money despite checking all minimum requirements. 3.8 GPA with 504 MCATI received an email back saying that to be considered for an interview, the committee is looking for applicants who have higher than 3.3 science gpa (3.3 is the minimum), and at least 506 mcat along with good healthcare extracurriculars.
you'll probably get an interview, your gpa is really good and your mcat isnt that far off!At the moment or in all? Because then I just wasted my money despite checking all minimum requirements. 3.8 GPA with 504 MCAT
I mean I honestly can’t imagine they would jump to only above 506 within a year but my premed irrational brain tells me it could happen! it’s such a struggle. I was one of those who scored 5 points lower on my actual mcat vs practice exams so I hate thinking I’m that close to having a “competitive score”. Thanks for the reply and hope!you'll probably get an interview, your gpa is really good and your mcat isnt that far off!
Bring drops to treat dry eye! I was in AZ recently and coming from TX, I was used to the heat but not the dryness. My eyes burned terribly and I could barely keep them open outside. Also stay hydrated and try to stay inside when you can.Yo guys I just realized when we interview it'll be like 100 degrees.... How are you all coping with this heat ESPECIALLY WITH FORMAL CLOTHING?!?
I was sent a rejection so no worries you still have a chanceHas anyone received a rejection from this school yet? Or not heard anything at all?
I received an interview waitlist, but am unsure if everyone who submits a secondary either gets an II or waitlisted.
I'm so sorry to hear. There's still hope elsewhere! But I didn't know they send rejections this early in the cycleI was sent a rejection so no worries you still have a chance
Thanks, I really appreciate it. Good luck on the rest of the schools!I was sent a rejection so no worries you still have a chance
Yeah my application wasn’t even complete. My physician letter isn’t in yet but they said they reviewed my application and that despite having a strong application my mcat score was too low. No worries it’s just one school and I only need one school to take a chance on me and accept me. It’s still pretty early so here’s to hoping that something else works out.I'm so sorry to hear. There's still hope elsewhere! This isn't the only great DO school But I didn't know they send rejections this early in the cycle?
What was your MCAT score if you don't mind saying? Cuz mine isn't that high... so I'm worrying alsoYeah my application wasn’t even complete.

No worries it’s just one school and I only need one school to take a chance on me and accept me. It’s still pretty early so here’s to hoping that something else works out.
I posted this above earlier too but it was around a 500. I’m sure we’ll both get in somewhere hopefully!What was your MCAT score if you don't mind saying? Cuz mine isn't that high... so I'm worrying also
And yes! Don't stress out. We all will get some rejection letters at one point or the other in the cycle

Wait so, there is the minimum of a 2.75 sGPA for the supplemental, and then a minimum of a 3.3 sGPA for the interview? or that's just what you need to be competitive for an interview
I'm pretty sure that's what you need to be competitive. But they do accept lower GPAs and MCATs obviously - they just have to be coupled with stellar ECsWait so, there is the minimum of a 2.75 sGPA for the supplemental, and then a minimum of a 3.3 sGPA for the interview? or that's just what you need to be competitive for an interview
Holy crap congrats dude! But why you even applying DO? Your stats are fantastic!II here; 511 MCAT, 4.0 GPA. Interviewing late August.
Anyone completing a secondary notice that the checklist says their MCAT scores have not yet been received?
I have been verified for weeks and my scores were submitted and verified at that time.
Thanks for any replies!
if you look at the top left corner it hover over admission then choose supplemental applicationI was sent the email with the link to the portal for the secondary, but I can't find where the questions are. Idk if it's bc im just too overwhelmed or what, but can anyone please let me know where I can see the questions?
Can you explain what you mean by later in the cycle? Will they reach out after the first round of interview or towards the very end of the cycle (aka March-ish).No guarantee, but it does happen. They'll reach out to the holds later in the cycle. Hang in there!
Hi all, M4 here. Feel free to post here or PM with any questions about the school. I will answer within a day or two (I’ve got really varying shift times every day so I don’t always remember to check sdn). To help calm some people down, there are quite a few people in my class who were once on the interview waitlist or even interviewed and then waitlisted. As far as we can all tell, AZCOM interviews the people with higher tier MCAT scores first, and then Nov-Dec starts pulling from the interview waitlist in addition to new new applications. They interviewed through beginning of April last year, so plenty of time.
SameStill waiting to hear from AZCOM. Been marked complete since 6/29
I'm having the same problem with the MCAT scores indicating that have not yet been received, and I was also verified weeks ago. Did you find out why is this happening?
I know it's a little early, but if anyone has any questions about AZCOM please feel free to send me a PM or post here.
