Both of these schools are just starting classes for this fall semester, so they may be a bit busy. I advise just being patient, you will hear from them.

What Podstar said.
CSPM starts classes Monday. Give them a little time.
I've just sent my applications.. I'm still waiting for my DPM mentor and one of my Univ professor to finish their LoR.
At the moment I only have 1 LoR received from a different Professor.
Do any of the schools let you have interview before they get all of your LoR?
also how long does it take for the Transcript verification to finish?
I entered the transcripts myself
Temple is my #1 choice

I can't say for all the schools, but when I was having trouble getting my LoR I was emailing some of the schools about the timeline for the letters, and the general impression I got was that they didn't really factor in for the interview request that much. Again, it was just the impression that I got. Just work on spamming the teacher and DPM as much as you can to try and get them, but you should be fine for now I'd think. As for the Transcript verification, I don't know the exact time, but it was pretty fast like under a week.
Scholl won't (esp one from a Pod)...other schools might.
Verification can take from few days to 2 weeks.
ii at Midwestern for September 8th
Should still be fine for all of them, stats permitting.
Yes, it now shows as 5/5 supplemental items received. (I had three transcripts.)
ii to DMU as well
I got the interview to DMU too... looking at my wallet like 😆
I take my MCAT on Saturday.... which I have to fly to (rural city life).... after just having an emergency surgery ----- I need all the good vibes I can get this week! I will be so glad to have that test behind me.
Glad to see more interview invites going out [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4] Are you all planning to go to all of them or being selective?

I applied to 4 so I will go to all of mine. I just feel bad asking for so much work off.
Sendin good vibes your way!
@smurfeyD thank you- much appreciated! I scheduled two so far... in the next couple weeks. I think most other schools will wait for my test scores to decide so there will be a break. If I can keep my interviews to Mondays or Fridays, my boss will greatly appreciate it.
That's awesome! Congrats on the invites [emoji4][emoji4]. Were you able to schedule them far enough apart or close together?

I have interviews scheduled everywhere I've heard from, but I put DMU and AZPOD as early as possible and scheduled the rest pretty late. That should give me enough time to receive an admissions decision from AZ and DMU before I interview at the others. If I'm accepted to either I will cancel the rest.
I'm almost doing the exact opposite of what you are haha. I'm waiting on DMU and AZ and getting the others done first. The 2 schools are great but still not sure if I can picture myself leaving New England for hot Arizona or... well... Iowa.
Yeah I am doing Mondays and Fridays as well! Buttttt, my wife and I are also expecting our first kid in the next month so its been crazy trying to schedule interviews around my work schedule and a week or two away from his due date haha
@smurfeyD you have the most understanding wife! When I think back to the time I had my first, I'm pretty sure I was full of hormones and tears lol. Remember shortly after birth, the lady is always right... at least that's what I thought I'm sure. Congrats on your first! It's a pretty wonderful experience [emoji4]

@outofstep thank you! Seriously appreciated! I ended up applying to all 9 as well. Selective makes sense- that'd be a lot of travel!

Haha, nor could I see myself living out in NY or Philly.
I wouldn't stress it yet. There are a lot of interview dates available through October so I imagine they'll send out more in the next week.
I just checked my status on the admit page they sent out last week: I had a piece of information missing for some reason, even though I am sure it read 5/5 or 4/4 before. I'd recheck that if I were you just in case!
And thank you for the reassurance! I sent my application in a bit later so I'm hoping that has something to do with it too hahah. Really hoping we all get invites soon!
I got an invite last night and had that "items missing" over the weekend too but it fixed itself so you're probably all set!
Anyone heard from Western at all?
Hello, I need to know my chances to get into DPM. I have a undergrad GPA of sGPA 2.93 & cGPA 3.23. Decided to go to grad school and get my master's in microbiology ending with a grad GPA of 3.93. Shadowed a surgeon DPM for 3 months, TA experience, research experience, volunteer at a hospital and shelter. My MCAT scores are in the low 490s (I know that's not that great).
@smurfeyD I heard from them 8/9 in regards to classes I am taking next semester before giving the app to the admissions committee and they said they'd be in contact soon. Nothing since then.

I heard from Barry today about an interview. On a side note, what polite admissions staff.
Anyone have an interview today?
I just got done interviewing at AZPOD.
I might have seen you. There were 3 of you right? I was shadowing one of the students. I have my interview next week.
Yeah, two of us were interviewed. There was a second year student giving us a tour.
yes for both of mine and it was attached
I had a 489 for my MCAT and I still got to go to Scholl really late in the applocation season like mid may, so you can definitely do it. Just try and send your app out!

Can anyone help or share their experience? Im worried
It took a couple weeks for mine. It'll verify
I waited for about 6 days and I was getting worried too. I emailed aacpmas and the next day my application was verified. 🙂
When it comes down to it, go with your gut.
Don't play the numbers game. Don't listen to others.
Pick the place you will be happiest for 4 years of your life.
It will help you during school.
I think it took mine about about 7 to 10 business days before received an email about them receiving my transcripts . I had a totally of three; one was marked received days before the other two. Hopefully you know something by next week. I'm still waiting for them to be verified.
Thanks guys just hoping not to have a horror story waiting for transcripts lol not doing much good for my anxiety

NYCPM said they received my application yesterday. Nothing too exciting.
