anyone else who still has not received a secondary? OOS btw

I have not. Primary submitted end of June. Honestly, I probably will not fill it out even if I get a secondary. Tired of waiting and would rather focus on other schools

There's definitely some degree of favoritism but given the number of OOS IIs and secondaries given out so far, I wouldn't say its heavy. Matriculants are definitely skewed heavily toward CA residents but there are other factors at play there.

Can I ask when you all submitted your primaries??
Click to expand...

I don’t remember exact but Early July. My primary was verified in like 2-3 days. I’m international so I was sure I wouldn’t get a secondary which I accepted since I had 3 interview invites already and 2 interview waitlists
 
Hoping the 9/15 interview decisions get released this week, anybody heard yet?

Can I ask when your secondary was completed? Got another email that my app is still w the committee on 9/19 but not sure what the turnaround time is
 
Am I the only one having trouble finding info about community service opportunities at pomona campus because all the community service, volunteer opportunities I found on their website is only for the northwest campus for some reason..

For example this link has volunteer opportunities but is specific to northwest campus - there is no website page with volunteer opportunities for pomona campus Volunteer Opportunities | College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) and COMP-Northwest

I had the same problem. Not sure if the website is just tangled, or Pomona has no volunteer opportunities. Any current students to shed some light on this?
 
If you go into their student clubs/orgs you can sort to find service organizations. You just have to sift because they have 100+ amongst the health professional schools.

Thank you, yes! Hard to sift through, but they all show up as shared. Posting for others looking.

Little update regarding their heightened monitoring:

On the student panel, a WesternU student noted that their heightened monitoring was due to their EM rotation not being a "core" rotation, and it taking place in the 4th year vs the required 3rd year. This was coming from a OMS2 who works with the Dean(s) through an org that advocates for quality improvement in their education. They mentioned that it's being worked on, but is not an easily resolved issue due to them having to make significant curricular changes.

Has anyone from the 9/15 interview group heard anything? I feel like they were so transparent about their 2 week timeline so I’m a little worried I missed something?🙁

Nobody has heard. Though admissions meets on tuesdays (I remember them saying that at interview day) so maybe today? Also emailed them yesterday about the release timeframe but haven’t heard back

I thought they said 15 business days, so wouldn't that be by this thurs/friday? depending on if you count the mmi day
Click to expand...
I had written down that the admissions board would meet Thursday/Friday of following week (9/22 and 9/23) and then they meet with the dean on Tuesday (9/27). But they did say sometimes this gets pushed based on the Dean's availability/schedule! So hopefully this week we hear, fingers crossed y'all:xf:

interview was traditional, so nothing abnormal. the MMI was on the shorter end, 2 scenarios, 5 minutes each

Second this. Overall, I enjoyed the interview experience. The pre-interview videos are really informative. Attend the student ambassador night if you can. It was really helpful to hear perspectives and insight from second year students.

+1. The videos were really good. And definitely attend the student social - was fun, calmed me down, and helped set the chill vibes as I headed into the interview. The traditional interview I felt was standard, though I wasn't able to get too conversational because they had to ask specific/certain questions for their assessment.
 
any new II? I was considered complete 8/9 and haven't heard back. wondering if my application is toast now.

I didn’t get an II yet, and I don’t know if I’ll ever receive one. However, remember that SDN is just a small cohort of people… it’s still very early for the osteopathic cycle. Your time will come for sure… the wait is sooooo annoying but trust the process
