That means they have already been mailed out...I expected them to be sent out next week. 😱

Well, maybe not. They said that the Dean and the Registrar would get them by the end of this week or the beginning of next, so I don't know if that means that they have been mailed out to us yet or not. I wished it worked like USMLE so we could know for sure when they were mailed.

The school gets them two or three days before we do, is the rumor here. One guy who failed last year got informed of this by the secretary 😱
How bogus is that

One of our classmates got a call at the clinic the other day from the Director of Rotations...she of course thought that he was calling to pull her out of this and all future rotations.

Scores from OSU were not in today...maybe tomorrow.

Damn! And here I was all calm about the fact that I didn't get a call from school! 😡
AZCOM dean got all of our scores. Our pass rate was 96.4%. I think this is the lowest pass rate in the history of our school....oops. I think that means that 6 people failed...any AZCOMers out there know if the lucky 6 will be getting a phone call? I don't think they have my number anyway!

Nah, my class (2004) has been the black sheep so far. Pass rate was 92.9% on step one...ouch.
I think it came out to like 9 people failing.
100% passing this year @ my school. DrMom, you can rest easy😉
Admittedly, this is like third-hand information, so dont shoot the messenger if it turns out false.

They cant call you if they cant find you!!!
This has sort of a Schrodinger's cat feeling to it...if you are not aware of your failure, then it hasnt really happened😉

would be really cool if it happens. also would reinforce our gunner/anal retentive reputation

Confirmed 100% pass rate for OSU. Good job.
So whats the best COMLEX score anyone has heard of? I heard someone got a 720...I think thats like 2.5 SD above the mean. Not bad, anyone hear of anything like that this year?

is the 2 digit number the actual percentile or is it a conversion like USMLE?
boysetsfire said:is the 2 digit number the actual percentile or is it a conversion like USMLE?
percentile.
Its a percentile...there is a calculator on the USMLE thread that shows your percentile within your percentile (i.e. 97.2, 89.15, etc) if you are interested. There is a pretty wide range for 99, apparently.

idio, that score is insane!!!! i wonder what the USMLE equivalent is 270? anyway, i know that there have been different threads about the COMLex VS usmle in terms of the test, but i was wondering if u can maybe address how one would STUDY differently for the two. beyond just biochem/OMT differences.

You cannot study for COMLEX. My four weeks of prep prior to the exam probably yielded 20-40 questions that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Know arm and leg anatomy cold. That is all you can count on. I only had 4 sacrum questions, which was supposed to be high yield. 🙄
Point = nothing is high yield. They may pick a random topic (i.e. amenorrhea) and ask a ton of questions on it. There is no way to prepare for this.
Be prepared for non-classic presentations of common disease processes.

I figured it out at 290...in other words, not possible. I am beaming a little today (something about 3.253 SD above the mean). Tomorrow, I will be back to normal.
As for the next part, I though the USMLE was pathology-intensive. If you knew pathology cold, then you knew 70% of the test cold. Some micro and pharm here and there, but we were exposed to so much of that in path. As for the COMLEX, you really cant study for the test, because there are no study materials, per se (so far...), but since OMT is so much of it, Savarese is a must (beware of the mistakes), and COMLEX is definitely more 'bugs and drugs' intensive. Just knowing the balance helps. For instance, studying biochem is a waste (maybe 3 straight biochem questions on COMLEX), as is cell bio, but I had some killer tricky pharm drugs and some weird microorganisms, as well. If you are grounded in path, pharm and micro, you should do well.
My Lord Idio, I think you are likely to be the smartest DO student in the nation...in all seriousness!!! Hey, FYI, the site is up now and if you are still interested in being one of our authors the invite is still open. Here's the link.

Well, sddoc, we can be classmates again then! Maybe we can even study together. I hate this waiting, I really feel like its worse than the wait to find out if I got in in the first place! (Not that I couldn't use a little vacation from rotations, but I don't even want to contemplate studying for that bear again!!)
IDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No longer will I mock you on the board, or curse your name when my tummy acts up! YOU ARE AN ANIMAL!!!! You are the DO student hero!
Congrats, man! 🙂

Are you guys getting these scores in the mail or are these leaked from your schools? Just wondering... our school won't even admit that they got them yet 🙄 . A classmate just called and said he got his in the mail today.

Got my scores today
724/99
somebody pinch me.....
I was sure that anything over 700 was an amazing COMLEX score. I stand by that. Congratulations.
thanks big frank
thanks idio.. these will definitely get us plenty of DO interviews..how much do you think it will translate over in the MD world?My USMLE was 237. Do you think our COMLEX scores will help at all to get more interviews or will it not matter?
i welcomes your thoughts..
