That's definitely a unique essay though! Somewhat useful/terrifying information btw for everyone: I scoured the 2018 thread (probably will also check 2019 thread) and there were some people who interviewed on a Mon/Tues and got an answer by Friday of that week.

Lol I was looking at the 2019 thread and people were getting it by 8/31! Tbh I’m excited. So freaking excited.

Do you guys think that once the II has been sent they are mostly interested as us as a person and have accepted our stats by that point?

Gah I hope so. I mean the turnaround for me and @Kevvv was so quick I'd imagine they were fine with our stats, rather than holding on to us for later in the cycle for II.

Yes! From everything I know about this process, the getting to the II is about you on paper, everything past this is you. That’s why people with 528s and 4.0s are never guaranteed the acceptance.

Hey anyone know about any good info sessions coming up for this school? Can't find anything on the website, but I'd love to attend an info session or something before their presentations on Interview Day.

So I think that makes it 3pm my time. Uh I'm probably going to be at work at that time... I'll email and ask if they record them -it'll show interest and explain why I'm not attending.

Has anyone who has received an II received information on interview scheduling/format/etc. from ICOM?
 
Is there any one from University of Washington, Seattle?
 
um.. Has anyone NOT received a secondary yet? I was verified July 2nd and got an email on the same day saying:
"Thank you for your interest in the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM). Your AACOMAS application has been received and we look forward to reviewing your credentials."
But I have not gotten a secondary yet.

Can't hurt to email them.
 
I just got a II for a potential interview mid- late August.

Recieved it really quickly. Like I submitted my secondary 2 days ago.

It’s a “how would you use osteopathic philosophies in your career?”
Click to expand...
So I shouldn't mention the story about how I got introduced into the osteopathic philosophy? I do not know what to write tbh, I discussed my goals and how I want to tie in the main tenet of osteopathic philosophy into my ultimate goal

I defined DO in my own terms and understanding, then explained how I’d use it in my career.
 
voppp said:
No there was Q1 and Q2 which was either explain how you fixed your app if you’re a reapp or how you would use DO in your career.

Phew. Thought I just didn't answer a question... thanks!

Secondary received and submitted today! Received the complete email a half hour later. How long did it take you guys to hear back about a potential II? The secondary email said they'll be starting interviews in mid-August
