Make that 5. Submitted so early and still haven’t heard anything back.

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

Mine is MCAT 51* (mid-teens), GPA 3.7+, sGPA 3.8+, EC
Not sure what's going on with this school. Do they think FL is too far off for us to really join their school?

[Cheer98]

Just got interview!! OOS, but neighboring state

 

[mapvi]

II just now! OOS but nearby, LM 66 but with an upward trend

 

[EzMac365]

II this morning. OOS and kind of close to MO.

 

[so_trippy]

Congrats to everyone who got an II! I was wondering everyone's thoughts on if it was too late to apply/submit a secondary? I applied to DO schools earlier in the cycle but then got busy with MD apps. I might have the capacity to write a few more and was just trying to gauge if it was too late in the cycle to submit

Well, IF you are from Florida, don't waste your $ applying here. There are 6 of us waiting since June and haven't heard anything.

Here is a ranking list. Looks little old (Chicago is #1 now with 510)

Osteopathic Schools Ranked by MCAT

1​	Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Des Moines, Iowa​	507​
1​	Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Vallejo, CA​	507​
2​	Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Chicago, IL​	506​
2​	Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Fort Lauderdale, FA​	506​
2​	Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, East Lansing, MI​	506​
2​	University of North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Fort Worth, TX​	506​
2​	Western University of Health Sciences / College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, Pomona, CA​	506​
3​	Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine of Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ​	505​
3​	Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, Kansas City, MO​	505​
3​	Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine, Henderson, NV campus​	505​
4​	A.T. Still University of Health Sciences/Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, Kirksville, MO​	504​

This is the worst way of comparing the best schools. California health sciences has an average mcat of 507. Do you think that is one of the best DO schools? What about western with a 509? Could not disagree more.

Yeah I wasted my money applying here. Submitted July and still waiting… ghosted

You know I'm honestly having those thoughts too right now. Like I know they've seen our apps, if they aren't interested then send that damn rejection email so we can go about our days and not stress even more.

If they don't prefer Floridians, why bother sending secondaries to Floridians?

y’all we are still so early in the app process and we have 0 information as to how schools conduct their own processes… do not assume it was pointless to apply just because we weren’t in the first couple of waves of interviews

Thisssss

It’s easy to get caught up and compare your progress to others here but just try to remember it is still early and schools have different ways of processing apps that isn’t very clear. Best of luck to us all during this waiting game ~~

also remember that sdn is such a small subset of medical school applicants so this forum isn’t representative

 

[adcolem44]

II just now, couldn’t schedule till January

Congrats! FYI, they have an interview waitlist for earlier dates, in case someone cancels. They emailed me to ask if I wanted to be considered for an earlier date in case one opened up, maybe a week or so after I scheduled mine.

Does anyone know what is typical to wear to the applicant reception the night before the interview?

Does anyone know what is typical to wear to the applicant reception the night before the interview?

It really doesn’t matter since it’s completely lead by M2 student ambassadors. I wore business casual as I wasn’t sure what to expect and other people did as well.

 

[tzahner]

Are you expected to attend the applicant reception or is it truly optional? I had planned on driving there that morning and don't want to spend money on a hotel overnight.

They have a waitlist for earlier dates! Email them to get on it

 

[mapvi]

Those who have interviewed, did they say how long until you’ll hear back about A/WL/R? I’m assuming 4-6 weeks?
