Anyone hear back after submitting primaries? I got an email from them saying secondaries will be sent out end of June but still haven't received anything

App got verified but still haven’t received a secondary. Ik some said they received it already but i wonder if they’re individually sending out secondaries instead of automatically like other schools.

EDIT: Took a while but got it and submitted secondaries. Also can someone link or point me to the news that says there would be 180 students? Kinda got my hopes up.

+1 IS

Does anyone know if they manually enter LOR? I submitted my secondary, but the checklist still says "not received" for my LORs. All other schools through AACOMAS received mine, so I'm wondering if I should reach out?

Congrats on the interview! Hopefully all goes well. I'm currently in the same boat, just submitted secondary and my LORs say not received. Did that change for you automatically or did you have to do something?
 
For anyone who was accepted in the previous cycle, or people who are interviewing this cycle, what is the attire for the virtual morning presentation prior to our interview? I unfortunately cannot afford to take off work and I work in a lab, so I can't really dress business attire, like a suit and tie.

Even though I applied for this cycle, they offered me an interview for the Class of 2029 as well. Everyone was wearing business attire because interviews were like right after

Thank you! It changed automatically for me. I would say to reach out to admissions if you are still having this issue.
 
Congrats on those who interviewed! Can anyone give insight to it? Is it conversational, ethical, MMI, etc.?
Very conversational. I had two of the nicest interviewers and overall such a great experience. I can definitely see why so many people say that this school is on track to be one of the top DO schools.

Complete 8/15 and also haven't heard back yet. Good luck and I hope we hear from them soon!!
I don't think there is rhyme or reason for these things sometimes lol. I got an II for a school and I applied almost 2 month later than someone I know, and he still has not gotten an interview. I used to think all early and late invites meant something, but other than few cases (high candidacy), it makes no sense haha!
 
Congrats on As!! Have interview coming up, any advice?
My interview was very conversational and I just talked about why medicine interested me. I also talked about my undergraduate research which was a big part of my application. Just make sure you can answer the question/questions: Why DO and why Meritus specifically.
 
anybody interview around 8/19 and not heard back yet? i'm worried that people who interviewed after me got the A but I haven't yet 🙁 LM 69, non-trad, OOS with strong IS ties (from MD and have family in Hagerstown). felt like I nailed the interview, especially the "why DO?" question

I interviewed 8/26 and haven’t heard back yet. I’m wondering if the difference is in-person v virtual interviews? My interview was virtual.

oo maybe. mine was virtual. but one of the A's that interviewed after me was OOS, so i assume that was virtual as well. could be a difference in timelines based on the interviewer though
