2024-2025 Duquesne University College of Osteopathic Medicine (Pittsburgh)

[premed_]

For those going to the admitted students event this weekend, what is the dress code?

Also I know there is a FaceBook group, but has anyone created a group chat on a different social media platform. I tried to make a FB account but Meta themselves blocked me 😭

I'll be there. The dress code listed in the email says business casual.

As for another group somewhere else, I'm not aware of one, but would be interested as well.

[gclark13]

Anyone want to make a group me of accepted?

 

[MxgicAbby=u]

anyone who interviews 10/15 hear back yet?

 

[themostgulliable]

Has anyone not received a secondary yet? Does this school have a minimum cutoff?

 

[tarnishedhealer]

For anyone who submits the CSS profile to DUQCOM for the scholarships, be aware there will be a $25.00 charge to apply (application fee + 1 school). The hole in the wallet grows deeper 🥲

 

[tarnishedhealer]

For accepted students here is a GroupMe gc for the Class of 2029: DUQCOM Class of 2029

 

[MxgicAbby=u]

Do you think I can call the school and see what the wait time to hear back is? Interviews 10/15 and they said one month

 

[medseek]

Has anyone gotten off the wait list yet?

I interviewed the first week of Nov and they said to give them 60 days, I think they're super backed up

I just got email saying next seat available, what did your email header say

 

[LowerPotential]

I just got email saying next seat available, what did your email header say

i didnt get an email, i checked my portal and it said further consideration

 

[purpleposts]

i didnt get an email, i checked my portal and it said further consideration

Do you know how to get on that list or is it automatic? I didn't get an email either it just says it in my portal.
Also does anyone know if "next seat available" is the same as the further consideration list?

I was told next seat available means “once a seat is available you’ll be accepted, If we had more than [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]]]] seat capacity we’d accept you right off the bat”

 

[atomicnugget]

if people are getting next seat available responses now, does that mean any interviews from this point on are all only for waitlist considerations?

 

[stemcat]

Interviewed 11/5 and just got a further consideration. What is the difference between that and next seat available, is it like the waitlist's waitlist?

 

[quadraticacid]

Interviewed 10/31 and have not heard back

 

[dirx12]

Has anyone from the "Next Seat Available" program heard anything?

 

[Premed Phanatic]

Interviewed 1/6 and got a further consideration 1/29.

 

[@futureDOctor]

Interviewed 12/16; next seat available 1/21; accepted 1/31!

 

[msha19]

is there an accepted students groupme? also are there are current students we can reach out to?

 

[CarbGoblin]

Withdrew! Good luck all 🙂

I'm not tracking what the confusion is. It's basically the same as being accepted but pending more seats, which is likely given the high turnover hasn't happened yet. Plus, you have a guaranteed spot next year if you are deadset on this school.

A good spot to be IMO versus just a regular waitlist applicant. I would treat it as an acceptance for next year when making your decision versus your other acceptances. If you haven't gotten accepted anywhere else yet, it seems like an easy choice to me.

 

[premed_]

is there an accepted students groupme? also are there are current students we can reach out to?

Someone made one yes, it was posted here on Nov 13th if that helps you find it better.

 

[Discardedtesttube]

I received an II for the end of March. The email said that I will be interviewing for a waitlist spot. Is it worth going? Does the school have a lot of movement on the list?

 

[futadocta]

Just withdrew, hope it goes to one of you! Good luck 🙂

 

[deskjet123]

Any A's recently? I had interview in February and I have not heard anything yet.

I heard all interviews are going to be for waitlists. I got an email saying i was selected for an interview but for a waitlist spot

 

[prospect_15]

Accepted yesterday 8/9. Interviewed 7/30. Secondary submitted late June. Portal updated last night and got the call this morning.

Were you an early decision applicant? Also, what was your gpa/mcat?

 

[prospect_15]

I interviewed 7/29, got the A on 8/9! (Which also happened to be my birthday lol, great timing). All the staff were super friendly and welcoming! If there are any current students on here, please DM me. This is gonna be a tough decision and I'd love to get more insight into the school's environment.

Were you an early decision applicant? Also, what was your gpa/mcat?

 

[samirza]

I interviewed last Monday and got a waitlist message in my portal on Friday. It was the further consideration offer.

 

[Discardedtesttube]

during our interview today. They mentioned sending in a LOI if it is your top school and it’ll impact the outcome.

probably 8-10

Withdrew my A, hoping the best for y'all. This school has the potential to become an S-tier med school!

Hey! Do you mind sharing what your interview letter said word for word? Did your interview letter say that you were interviewing for waitlist or did you find out after the interview

 

[samirza]

It did not say anything about interviewing for a waitlist position, so basically I submitted my application and secondary on 3/2 and got my interview invite on 3/4, I interviewed on 3/17 and got a decision within the week. I applied super late so I assumed that they would be full but the interview invite did not mention waitlist at all.
