+1can anyone confirm any regional biases here?
I am a bit confused about attending a new school...is it fully accredited? Or, does it require a certain # of years of being open prior to being fully accredited? I guess i just want to know the risks involved if one is to attend a new medical institution... Thanks in advance for your insight!
Any update on this school? i tried to find more info on their website but it has no info at all about any admissions processes or anything. I'm trying to find out if they accept international students or not.
The thing I'm curious about is I think you're not eligible for federal loans if you goto a provisionally accredited school. (School that hasn't been accredited yet.)
Oh, no...i did not even think of that...thank you for bringing that point up. Hopefully, someone that is knowledgeable about this topic can expand on it...

Yea no federal loans until you graduate you're first class.
I got my secondaries today, but I'm really confused about the LOR situation. They don't accept letters sent from AACOMAS?
AACOMAS does not do letters...
I had a different issue but when I switched browsers from Chrome to Firefox, it solved the problem. Hope this helps & good luck!mildly frustrating process is a gross understatement. This secondary has been a nightmare hnestly. I cant submit because everytime I enter my telephone number it gets changed from xxxxxxxxxx to xxx-xxx-xxxx with dashes. and guess what..the application doesnt accept dashes so it gives me an error. and resets all the info...how were you guys able to enter your phone numbers without dashes on the first part? i dont understand.
What personal qualities do you possess that will make you a successful osteopathic physician?can anyone share what the secondary essay prompts are?
Anyone know if they send a complete email?
does anyone have a phone number we can reach the admissions staff? I cannot seem to submit my application and they are not responding to emails. Thanks!

Once I switched to Firefox, I was able to submit and pay successfully. I followed up with the admissions office 2 days after and my application was received without any issues. Also, don't hesitate to e-mail them, they were very helpful! Best of luck.I'm still having this auto format problem as well. I have tried PC, Mac. Chrome, IE, Safari, and Firefox, but to know avail. How did were ya'll able to turn in your secondary?
i never got one. in fact the only ones that ever sent me complete emails were lmu and one other that i forget.

For those of you having trouble submitting this secondary, here's what I had to do. I got the secondary email with the link to the app and I used Internet Explorer to pull it up. I filled out all the blanks and typed out pretty good explanations for work/volunteer experiences, then when I hit Submit at the bottom I was sent back to the top of the page and all my fields had been cleared out! I repeated this cycle of typing/losing/re-typing all my data until I was exhausted and fed up .
So, then I said I'm going to try this one more time and used Google Chrome. It finally worked! And I was able to move on to the payment page. I made my payment then it gives you the option to upload attachments...the essays. So I uploaded my Word document and it wouldn't take it. I tried 3 times with no luck. So I saved my essays in PDF form and submitted again and it worked. So I'm hoping this might help someone else avoid all the hours of frustration I went through
You have a shot in about half of DO schools if your ECs are good. No need for graduate school...If you dont get in this cycle, just retake may be 3-4 classes you have C or lower on. DO schools will use your best grades.What are my chances realistically if I have:
cGPA: 3.16
SGPA: 3.27
MCAT: 27P
Many extracurricular leadership roles and honor groups.
Shadowing both MD and DO for about 40 hours.
Would I considered competative here or at any DO school or should I go to a graduate school and have a great GPA there? I am a Chemistry major by the way.
I just received an email saying my application was complete and they'd let me know within 30 days...
As far as filling out the secondary, I highly suggest printing to PDF or typing your responses in word and then copy and paste. I tried to save my responses after spending a lot of time on the 2ndary and even thought the site said they'd email me a link with my saved app., I never got it...it was all gone. Luckily I was able to hit back in my browser a few times and the information was still there.
Just got this email:
"Dear pjd9779,
Your application has been reviewed and you are being considered for admission to our institution."
That's all the email said, no mention of letting me know of any updates within 30 days. Anyone else get this wording?
Kevnm67 it says" If selected for an interview, ACOM will notify you with 30 days for scheduling". not within 30 days.
