Secondary submitted this morning and I was changed to applicant this evening.

I'm hoping my turnaround time is like yours to give me enough time to get my MCAT score in and not be put on hold lol

LOL, tbh I had my MCAT score less than a week later, so idk what the 26 day hold up was.

I read somewhere, [on another schools's post, not sure which], that this year AACOMAS received x3 amount of applications!!! People are definitely taking advantage of COVID. I hope all my experiences and working the frontlines of COVID helps me out though.

Greeeeaaaaaat. Thankfully, the high seat costs might dissuade some peeps from stealing our beloved As.

 

[mrtmb]

Is RVU marking those complete who have MCAT scores or without as well? Just curious for informational purposes.

 

[aus_horn]

Does RVUCOM require Casper?

 

[just your average scribe]

Does RVUCOM require Casper?

yes

 

[superdoc123]

Are there additional essays with the secondary application? Or is it just the ones that are already asked of you in the AACOMAS primary app submitted.

HUH x3? 🙁 Wish I could verify this info so I could cry.

But I read on Tulane this year is upwards to 13k apps this year when last year was 12k

Hi, I have submitted the primary earlier this week and have not gotten any confirmation from RVUCOM. Should I be worried or reach out?

It seems like most people have to wait a while before hearing back, I wouldn't worry about it, it seems that most schools are a little busier then usual

Ok, thanks, I appreciate the advice. I think you are right, from reading other threads as well it seems that the schools are overwhelmed with applicants right now.

Out of curiosity when did you submit your secondary?

I submitted on 7/1. Hope that helps!

Curious if RVUCOM is anyone's top choice for D.O. and why?

It’s my number 3! I love their wilderness and rural medicine track! My dream residency!

What speciality are you looking to go into?

 

[premed7777]

I submitted the same day as you but Im still not "file complete" status. Did you have to do anything special with your CASPER score or letters of recommendations? I sent my casper score from the casper website and I sent my letters of recommendation on the ACOMAS application. Just trying to figure out if there's anything else I need to do. Thank you!

 

[deleted988803]

What speciality are you looking to go into?

Rural family practice and some EM, so perfect hahaha

Are you serious???? I thought fewer people would apply theoretically because of delayed plans..well that's discouraging

I didn’t do anything outside of what you did as well... if I were you I would maybe shoot them an email and ask them if your app is still being reviewed or if there’s anything you need to do on your side of things

Haha that is perfect!!

Probably tied for top choice for me due to the academic medicine and leadership program ( and southern Utah location, I’m a cyclist and the riding there is great)

I wish they offered that track at their Colorado campus!

100% my top choice, they have a lot of really cool EM and Wilderness medicine related opportunities that no other school has. I also love the location!

Just to double check, are you sure you are in the correct forum? This one is for Rocky Vista University-CO campus. Most of us in this forum were not marked FILEC until 7/27 after paying the fee on 7/1.

Congrats on the interview invitation.
