Oh most definitely, half the MD class is in Grand Rapids. I meant moreso they were similar enough in the medical education that talks of the merger started
How did it go? any advice?
They haven’t gotten back to their BS/DO students yet who they interviewed months ago. They’re running very late this cycle. Give it a few weeks IMO. COM cycle runs close to start time
It wasn’t bad, my interviewer was a little stoic, so I wasn’t able to get a read on how she felt about me. But the questions themselves were pretty simple. Nothing that really threw me off or anything
3.89, 506, and 8 years in healthcare
dawg I Lowkey regret not doing the bs/do program, anyone could get in (I had a 4.2/4.0 GPA in HS and a 1280 SAT), I just didnt know about its existence
thats funny because the year i applied to it they rejected everyone but one person. i called it quits
I know 5 privileged frat boys who got in and totally dont deserve ts, its rough out here for people like us
I have heard all of this too but the gentleman who did the pre-interview session seemed to go out of his way to make it clear that they are not at all affiliated.
it is what it is, the program is not a guaranteed spot regardless and I feel better not having all my eggs in one basket. we got this <3
lets goo!!!!!!!
Congrats! When did you interview?
CONGRATS!! what are your stats and what was your application timeline?
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your LM?
Woohoo! When were you complete?
6/18
Interviewed on 9/19. LM 71
mine was online
I interviewed on Sept 30th, the admissions said they usually get back around 3-4 weeks, so hoping to hear back from them next week.
They are optional haha, I think it's just to give us info and attend on our own time.
I hope so, LOL. I told my mentor and she said I should reach out to school and explain why I missed the meetings. But kinda don't want to do it and just keep my head low.
I signed up for one tmrw morning before my interview around 9 AM PST, can you make that one?
Yeah hahhaa, thank you! that's good idea!! I just signed up for a Q&A session tomorrow, hopefully that might help a bit.
I really don't think it plays a role in admissions decisions haha, thank you!
I interviewed 09/26th, have yet to hear back as well
I interviewed on 10/3 same week as you, but I'm an OOS applicant, hopefully I'll hear back soon! What was your LM?
Same here. Interviewed Sep 29th and I just got waitlisted. I’m honestly so upset.
I think youll get off the waitlist. At least you haven't only gotten DO-PHD emails from them.
Do we have higher chance getting off the WL since we interviewed early?
Yep, my day instantly ruined. But we've got this! Stay strong!!!
