I wish you the best of luck, but I would strongly advise anyone to visit AZPOD, Scholl or DMU. You don't need to see all three, but just visiting one may it may change your outlook on schools.

i am applying, i was gonna have it in this friday, but my advisor and i are gonna go over it to make sure it is ready, but otherwise i have filled it all out already
this forum is dead c ompared to last year. Is no one applying this year or are the pre-pod's not knowing about SDN. Anyone with any interviews? does anyone else want to post their stats?
i didnt apply to ocpm or barry, only AZpod, SCHOLL, and CSPM. Has anyone been contacted by california yet?
what are everyone's first chioces. How competitive is it when you apply early?
My first choice is OCPM but I haven't been contacted by anyone at this point. Hopefully it's not extremely competitive when you apply early...I'm just waiting around hoping for a call sometime soon.
Are you from Ohio, or do you just like the school? I did an internship at OCPM (old building) over the summer and liked what I saw. Overall I felt quite comfortable there. I'm going to interview at Temple and will then make a decision between the two.
FYI I haven't heard from OCPM yet either.

seems like temple is the only school that is on top of their game. Has anyone heard anything else. Do they call you or email or whaT?
Just thought I would throw in my two cents. I applied last year to OCPM, Scholl, Temple, AZPOD, Des Moines, and NYCPM. My stats are actually I feel below average. I have a 3.0 gpa with a 3.82 in one year of graduate coursework. I have a 17AA/19TS/20PAT. I was offered interviews at OCPM, NYCPM, Scholl, and Temple. I applied in early October and Temple responded in a couple of days the others took about a week to two weeks. I only actually interviewed at Scholl and it was my first choice. I was accepted to Scholl for the class of 2011 but I deferred my acceptance to enter in the 2012 class. I am sure schools will have more applicants this year but I think it will be like last year and the sooner you get your application in the better because there really won't be a lot competition as long as your stats are at least decent. Granted gpa and test score averages will be higher with more quality students applying but if you get in early you should have no problems.
they called me
has this happened to anyone. I got a response from scholl saying they recieved my application but i called CSPM and they said they said they didnt have my applicatoin even though they checked. What do you guys think happened?

WOW! are you applying to any other schools...like mED? Your GPA is unbelievable.
Bump
probably not
i know pod is no cakewalk... but its a little less stressful, and time consuming later on (compared to MD). I really want to put some time into my family (I just got engaged over the summer)... I just want to be happy 👍
Not all Pod. are Med. school reject...some actually want to be DPM and not MD👍
congrats!

(that's all I applied to), I'm really interested in DMU and Scholl
where did you go to undergrad?
where did you hear this? I do not think that most of the successful, reconstructional surgical pods will agree with this.
The ones that cut nails at nursing homes and do little else will agree, but is that what you want to do with your life to keep the stress low?
I sincerely hope you change your attitude about becoming a pod and having less stress than other MDs. I think you may be setting yourself up for failure. The successful pods and residents at the top programs have worked very hard to get these programs and most continue to work hard until retirement.

thats a little harsh... and who said i was purely interested in surgery? I just want to have a balance of my job and family... I will not sacrifice my family for my job
I never said it was a stress free environment lol, i know it will be rough, i just rather have my mind focused on one speciality at the start, and I do like feet...
as I said I just want to be happy, and I feel this would do it
I think there's a little misunderstanding here, sorry
also I go to USF
i never said pods dont work as hard or harder then MD... I know they do, so please don't say that I'm indicating that PODs dont work harder then an MD
i just know the style and set up of MD will be more stressful to me, maybe not for u or someone else, but POD is what I want

awesome, when you going down? I'm trying to pick a thursday sometime this month
did anyone apply to california?
I will probably pick a Monday so I won't have to miss that many days of work and school. I am thinking two/three weeks from now...how long do you think it will take to prepare for the interview?
