2020-2021 A.T. Still University (Mesa, Arizona) ATSU-SOMA

[aduuubacsi]

When people say complete, it means the school sent an email saying their App is completed and ready to be reviewed. I received an interview from this school and I have no date next to where it says “application completed” in the portal. Hope that helps!

Thank you for clearing that up

I was previously put on hold a few years ago and eventually did not hear back until late spring with the rejection, but others who were put on hold did come off at varying time points of the cycle with an II. Your chances at an II are non-zero, but they have gone down. You are likely a borderline candidate in their eyes and so they will revisit your application at a future date and depending on need may / may not offer you an II. Perhaps send them a non-academic update letter in a month or so letting them know what you've been up to since submitting your secondary.

What happens if you STILL haven't heard anything, yet completed your application before others who have already received interview invites and acceptances? Does that mean I am still being considered? and if so, why would they not have put me "on hold" as you are describing here? Any info is sincerely appreciated !!!

 

[deleted1000871]

It might have already been asked/answered, but curious if AT-SOMA is sending out II without MCAT scores? Anyone receive one w/o MCAT this cycle? Their website says preferred but not required so just curious what that exactly means. Thanks!

What are your stats?

 

[Surgical Spoon]

Just withdrew, hope it goes to one of you peeps

I'm not sure how they decide who to put on the II waitlist, but if you haven't gotten an R then you are still being considered. The application process is very weird and no one really knows in what order the schools review apps.

They might be going off of stats. The higher your stats, the earlier you hear back from them. Just an opinion.

 

[mikey41500]

Can anyone share their experience with the interview? I have mine on Friday and I'm kinda worried lol

 

[adrummingdog]

Why do they force you to put in stuff on the secondary that's already in our primary app?? Look at my primary app for the love of god. This infuriates me to no end.

I already am accepted at a DO school, but was wondering if I should submit a secondary here? Greater than a 3.80 GPA, no MCAT, and tons of extracurriculars and great essays

You will most likely won't get an answer here without an mcat. I'm assuming other school was rocky?

I mean if you really like this school then I'd say go for it. It's still not super late in the cycle to submit an app.

 

[CaitlinK12]

It’s a role playing scenario, not a “what would you do” question

How long do we get for the role playing scenario? 8 or 10 minutes like an MMI? Additionally, how much knowledge of healthcare are they expecting you to know?

 

[whatumacall]

Is there a minimum MCAT for this school?

 

[cali-native86]

Is there a minimum MCAT for this school?

The school's website states they prefer you have an MCAT score on file, but it is not required. Since it is not formally required, it would make sense that there is no minimum score required. I believe the previous average from year's past is 504.

This might be a stupid question but what does "sub GPA" mean? and does ATSU SOMA look at it?

 

[medschlhpfl]

This might be a stupid question but what does "sub GPA" mean? and does ATSU SOMA look at it?

What context was it used? I’ve only heard sub 3 gpa which would essentially mean below 3.0 gpa

 

[futureinmedicine]

Has anyone without an MCAT receive an interview?
