I know they changed their requirement 500 to recommendation but has anyone sub 500 actually ever been accepted here or was that changed just to get more apps in??😵‍💫

They told me they will look at apps with MCATs 495 and above.

Received an ii OOS . However, only gave me March interview dates. Why is it that late?

+1, I saw there are December and February dates available. Maybe you can email admission and ask for earlier date?

OOS Acceptance yesterday! Interviewed 9/18!

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉 did you do virtual or in person?

 

[Stallion76]

if you’re an accepted student, how do you plan on paying for this? I know they don’t take federal loans but I want to see if others were offered scholarship.

 

[michelinstar]

LM 60/57, I think.. The calculation changes :/

Oh, that’s about the same as mine! I got a later interview date too :/. I wonder if they’re saving the earlier dates for more competitive applicants cause I did see earlier dates as well. Will they cancel the IIs if they fill all their seats? 🥺

How do you guys feel about the school in general? Any thoughts on its accreditation status or all the other stuff people talked about from previous threads/reddit?

I don't think they'll cancel II, there's always waitlist position if its filled. We’ll be ok 😊 is this your first interview?

It is! Super nervous because I’ve been doing some internet surfing…maybe too much internet surfing 😖.

Congratulations! First interview definitely nerve-wracking... did you do a mock interview during your prep? I find that to be super helpful.
Me too.. Internet surfing is no bueno lol... When is your interview scheduled? You can pm me 🙂

For those wondering about the binding contract this is the answer I got from OCOM:
Our enrollment agreement is said to be binding as we are also making a commitment to the student and want to ensure our students are committed to us as well. However, there is no legal penalty for withdrawing your acceptance before matriculation. The only disadvantage is you would lose your $100 seat deposit.

Has anyone been accepted or interview yet with 499 mcat yet since they did say "reccomended mcat"??

Thats awesome!How did it go!?

 

[deleted1151110]

Withdrew my A from here, main reason being private loans. The program otherwise looks quite promising to me, and I wish everyone here luck 🙂

 

[dakodabug123]

I interviewed today virtually. You will have two, 20-minute interviews succeeding an hour presentation on the school, curriculum, and financial aid since it's a private institution. Good luck everyone!

 

[bigblubba]

When were y'all complete and when did you get II?

Congratulations on your interview! Is it correct that they don't have a cadaver for the anatomy lab?

I didn’t even trust the package tbh. It was mailed too soon and had no official looking “congrats” type message. I was skeptical af

Probably 2-4 weeks, honestly I don't remember they say anything about it. After my interview, I logged off immediately.

Hey, I think I saw you on a different DO thread and wanted to say I LOVE your spirit!! It is so amazing to have such a positive energy! I was thinking to myself, these medical school are crazy not immediately accepting an applicant like you! You’re comments has been so kind and empowering.. it would be an honor if we ended up in same class! I really wish you all the best in your journey! ❤️

I appreciate your kind words!! It means the world ❤️ It is so easy to be hard on ourselves, but we should all be proud of how far we have come, no matter the outcome. Even the most qualified students fall through the cracks every year! It's all about being content and grateful no matter the outcomes because we know we did our best !
