It will also depend what time zone you live in. I'm in the west (Mountain Time), and the scores were released at 9:18 AM.
This is probably the only time I'm thrilled to be four hours behind Eastern Time! Currently awaiting that October 3 score release!
congrats!! Have you received your acceptance letter in the mail yet? Also any scholarships?
I heard from Barry a couple weeks ago regarding an invite and I emailed back and forth with Kent yesterday (waiting for my MCAT score to drop Tuesday). Kent held interviews today.
Hmm guess I'm not getting an invite then even though people with lower stats did over me... oh well good thing it's not my top choice I guess lol
When I spoke with them, they said they were having trouble with viewing the full application. They couldn't see some of my experiences and the DPM experience. I had to walk him through my app a little bit. If they had to do that for many people, it might slow down the process. They did also talk a lot about how they view the applicant holistically with their experiences and not just #s. Might not have gotten around to you yet; hard to say.
I think my ECs are my strongest point.. but they do always seem to be slower than the other schools. I probably shouldn't expect to hear back from every school so soon
They asked me about my grades as well, I was accepted 2days after the interview
Thanks for the response!
Because of finances, I want to go to two interviews and then wait to hear if I get accepted or not before scheduling any other interviews. Do interview invites expire? If I interview next week and then wait 2ish weeks to know if I'm accepted, can I then respond to an interview invitation from a month earlier?

I would respond promptly to the invite and ask admissions for later dates. I would not advise waiting a month to respond.
Okay, thanks for the advice! That's probably the best way to handle the situation.
I appreciate the advice! I just scheduled interviews at all of the schools that I have been invited to interview at.
Here's to hoping that I won't need them! 🙂
Is there a deposit you have to put down to hold your spot? And if so how much??
Living around Kent is very cheap. You can rent a 1 bedroom for $600-$800 a month or share a 2 bedroom with a classmate for almost half the price. My girlfriend and I rent a 3 bedroom house with a lot of land for less than $700 each.
Usually 1k non-refundable.
Thank you
You can. Depending on your other stats, you might receive interview invites or they might put your app on hold until the scores come in.
It all varies here in North Chicago but, it will be difficult to find a 1-bedroom apt for 600, like that at Kent. It might be possible off-campus, but you would be sharing with few other people.
In student's housing, single goes for around 12K for 10 months, sharing a room with a roommate is around 9K for 10 months. When you share, you have your own bedroom and bathroom, so it's not all that bad. There is also the Woodlands Apt, which has similar pricing, maybe 50 or so bucks cheaper per month.
In student's housing, you will have to pay the electric bill (rest is covered in the rent) so def keep this in mind when living off-campus.
Yes $1,000 in 30 days.
Ouch! Do you know if they give extension of time?

Thank You!!
I believe they do... You just have to let them know.
It is not. It can take from few days to a week if everything is in order.
I interviewed there last cycle. For me it was very conversational interviewing with the anatomy PhD. However, those I interviewed with said that the DPM they interviewed with asked some tougher questions. Use the interview feedback page to prepare.
Just submitted my application. This will probably be one of the best decisions I made as a pre-med student. Hopefully, I can get some IIs!

DMU, Kent State, and AZPOD. How about you?
Find and read post interview report section.
Someone link him,her.
Edit: found it Interview Feedback List | Student Doctor Network
When is your Scholl interview?
I wasn't asked this either but someone else on my day said they were. The students we were with told us to have a world current event in mind as well.
It probably depends on who is interviewing you. I was asked about it back in July.
I talked about the Affordable Healthcare Act and the VA Provider Equity Act.
You can mention anything relevant to medicine and Podiatry but keep politics and your own opinions out of it.

What school?
It is not rude to cancel interviews. Just send them a nice email, thanking them for giving you an opportunity, etc.
That said, if you can afford it, you should attend as many interviews as you can so that you know what each of the schools has to offer.
Everything else is secondary.
Scholl, Temple, Kent, and CSPM. Im a pre-pod though, so what do I know?
What is your top school? If you're waiting on AZPOD, I would keep two more interviews that are also of your top schools because it gives you some backups of course. However, I would pick Kent and Temple.
Go to at least 3.
You can look at board numbers, pass rates, residency placements all you want.
However most pre-pods do not realize a strong candidate will do well despite the numbers reported by each program. High scorers will keep scoring high.
Go to as many as you can. Don't get sucked into the SDN hive-mind. Formulate your own opinions.
If weather, cost, proximity to home, whatever factor is most important to you, go off of that first. Then pick 2 more and attend the interviews unless your 1st one absolutely clicked.
You may end up liking a program you never even considered. Certainly happened to me and many other people I interviewed with.
