Breaks my heart AND my wallet. If Morehouse doesn't come thru, I'll have spent $5k securing seats at DO schools.

Welp I don't know what they are up to.
I got into my favorite DO med school in February and withdrew from my other interviews. Saved me a lot. Sorry to hear about the money you have spent so far. Its all worth it in the end.
its not worth paying the 2K. All of them are good schools and you will be a doctor
but th big questions is MD or DO? who knows..

I just declined my offer. Hopefully, they can process the $100 refundable fee and take someone off of the waitlist in a timely manner.
Yes, I just declined my offer too. Hopefully, they will refund me in due time. I hope my acceptance goes to someone in here that’s waiting to hear or on the waitlist.
How did you decline and us Morehouse still in the commit to enroll school list?
How did you decline?
Early this morning, I sent a withdrawal of acceptance email with my name and amcas ID to this email: [email protected]. I received a response about 30 minutes ago.
I sent my withdrawal e-mail last week and followed up today and they responded within 5 minutes, so I would follow up one more time today. I'd be very surprised if they don't respond to you by the end of the day. They also mentioned we probably won't get our deposit back until Mid-May with everything going on. Best of luck everyone!!!
I dont care much about MD vs DO. I care more about a compassionate and well-rounded physician.
i wouldn’t as care much too if I’m only interested in less competitive specialties. But there is a bias for MD over DO among residency program directors. The MD letters will give you an upper hand during the matching process for residency. For example, it will help you get into more competitive specialties (ortho,derm/ophtho/neurosurg/etc.) or more highly desirable (urban) residencies.
However, that is not to say that DOs cannot match into a highly competitive specialty in a desirable location. They just have to work a lot harder for it.

yeah my point exactly. i don't want to limit myself to just primary care.. and MDs do have the upper hand when it comes to those more competitive specialties

is there a fee to join the waitlist?
Seriously like Earth to Morehouse: It's May...
A student from Morehouse told me they reject after interviews, but I haven't seen anyone with post-interview rejections here. It took them 3 months to waitlist me, but since it's so late in the cycle I can't see them waitlisting more people.
I feel your pain. We in this together!

Just a heads up to future applicants, Morehouse doesn't refund those $100 deposits. I know that probably seems small to people in the grand scheme of things... but I'm broke so... would've been nice
If you withdrew on or before April 30th, they told me they are refunding the deposit. They just said it would be until mid-May when we actually do get the money back. Hopefully, they follow through with that...?

Accepted off the waitlist with merit scholarship yesterday. Declined due to having accepted a better offer at another school already, so I hope it goes to one of you guys!

No just directly
Congratulations that is pretty neat!! I wonder why they would put you on the waitlist if you were deserving of a scholarship though...this whole process is really interesting
Its a crazy process. I know someone who got accepted the last minute and still got scholarship.Congratulations that is pretty neat!! I wonder why they would put you on the waitlist if you were deserving of a scholarship though...this whole process is really interesting
