Never count yourself out, I've seen multiple ppl with lower stats get interviews over me, proves its more than a numbers game!

I did! I was put on pre-interview hold in the fall last year. I kept sending in updates when I had something new (such as new grades, a new job, extra shadowing, an internship for the summer) and in February they sent me an II. I just started a few weeks ago at DMU 🙂 Keep showing them that you're interested!
Thank you for this insight! How did you send your updates?
These DO schools (DMU, AZCOM, CCOM, etc) have the same if not higher matric averages than low/mid (state) tier MD schools. Crazy.
I think I updated AACOMAS with my grades for fall semester and emailed DMU all other updates. Maybe you can update AACOMAS with experience updates like a new volunteer position or shadowing...I'm not sure. I wanted to make sure they were seeing my updates and how much I wanted to go to DMU, so I emailed every couple weeks (if I had something.) I was put on hold in early November and received my II in mid-Feb, so you might have a few months to wait. Keep volunteering, shadowing, etc!
Awesome, will do. Thank you so much!

When were you complete? I feel like they are making their way down (sorta) based on that.

+1 to the interview hold list
I was complete July 12. A little bummed since I was born & raised in Iowa, but I guess there's still hope!
Interviewing Sept 2nd! So excited. I bombed my first interview at BCOM 🙁 Any tips? Anyone else interviewing on the 2nd?
As I'm sure many people would like to know this info:

congratulations! would you mind sharing your stats?
I know they're not completely indicative and the admissions process is shrouded in mystery, but I was complete 7/18 and slightly jittery.
