Just wondering how full the class is! I recently got my secondary and plan to submit today. Not sure if they're still doing interviews, so if anyone could give me insight on that, I'd really appreciate it! Congrats to all those who got in! :)

I received my waitlist email this last Friday (March 19th)! So excited! I am in the highest tier of the High waitlist group! I interviewed on March 15th. They told me that they will interview applicants through mid-April. Hope this helps!

I have thought about it! I was advised to raise my MCAT again before applying if I chose to, but this cycle I applied strictly DO because I think the underlying philosophy matches my personal goals more! I also started shadowing DO physicians in the fall of 2019 and really enjoyed the way they practice.

Complete back in the fall - haven't heard a word yet. Wonder if it's a silent R or if there's even hope for an II.

Accepted off the High Rank Waitlist on Tuesday! Not the “highest tier of the high rank” that I’ve seen people refer to.

Because people’s stats posts have kept me going in the past I’ll post mine just in case it keeps someone else’s hopes alive like yours have for me.

II August 1st, interviewed November 17th

undergrad cumulative: 2.92
Graduate cumulative (not smp, regular MS degree): 3.84
Overall according to AACOMAS: 3.09

mcat: 493, 504, 505, 511, took every summer since 2017

nontrad working in research for last 3 years, so about 4-5k hours there

400 hours working as an EMT

volunteered at a hospice house for approximately 150 hours

shadowed an MD for 100 hours

never stopped taking classes at night, just whatever high level science courses I could get at a local university. last 30 credits since graduating in 2017 have been 3.9 GPA. This was crucial in my opinion.


I hope this helps anyone!

Ones going to be the home room where you do the info stuff. The other is your actual interview with two faculty members.

Don't worry, they will walk you through the schedule for the day when you log into the 'home' session at the beginning of the day. But yes, the different rooms are for different portions of the day, the interview, Q & A, and main sessions. I recommend downloading the WEBEX app to your computer, made my interview day much smoother, and avoided tech glitches.

I did! I was interviewed on March 15th, waitlisted on the 19th, and received my acceptance offer on the 26th. So approximately a week on the waitlist. I hope this answers your questions!

I was put on the high waitlist tier on 3/8 and I still haven’t heard anything back. Do they call or email ?
 
They 100% call first when they offer an acceptance and you’ll get a couple emails approx 30 seconds after hanging up
