[BigPremedGuy]

Ya of course.

3.42 cGPA 511 MCAT (128/129/127/127), retook a 507 in 2019.

My app is entirely rural, primary care focused

 

[User312]

So has nobody received a rejection yet, just holds.

 

[GlizzymanMotoAliceLover]

I see it says strong preference for a DO letter, what if we don't have a DO or MD letter?

 

[schrute_farms]

For those who were put on hold, when was your secondary app marked complete?

Mine was marked completed 6/29/21

 

[schrute_farms]

To add another data point, I was just put on hold hahaha. I'm curious if anyone has actually been rejected yet. Something very similar happened to me with another school, and I got off of the hold and got an interview so hopefully those of us on hold have a shot!

 

[premed5124]

complete 6/29, placed on hold today

 

[DUNKZSOLE]

First II of the cycle. around 4 pm yesterday.

My stats are far below average.

498 MCAT, 3.6 GPA, OOS.

just wanted to share with you all to give you hope and encouragement. they are considering applicants with low stats. This is such a difficult path, so any transparency can help.

sending II vibes your way 🙏🏻

[Bcereus96]

For the secondary where it asks to put your 3 community service...I only have 2 non clinical community service work ....is 3 a minimum requirement?

Did your application portal have a date listed next to the "Date Completed" category on the status page or did you just receive an email that confirmed it was complete?

I didn't even know to check the portal, but I got an email saying it's complete and will be reviewed.

Wouldn't hurt to know *wink wink

What do you mean allowed? Lol like do you think it would be pretentious or something?

 

[DUNKZSOLE]

Goodluck to everyone prepping for tomorrow's interview, get a good night's rest!

 

[wysdoc]

What do you mean allowed? Lol like do you think it would be pretentious or something?

I think they meant would someone who had already interviewed be "allowed" to answer this question, because often on interview days a school will ask students not to share specific details about the interview questions, especially at schools where they have some group activity or challenge as part of their day. If you are going to have a 1:1 interview, the questions will not all be the same as another person's, and may be tailored to something on your application.

Yeah exactly, I'm trying to be careful since ATSU has students sign an NDA. Regardless I went ahead and did some osteopath and research on Stills, never know.

Ohhhh ok lol. I was thinking like the interviewer saying “you are not allowed to talk about the history of our field, that’s not what we’re here for!” Haha I’m brain dead
