I know that there is a list that tells you which MD schools screen an applicant before sending them a secondary and which don't, is there something like that for DO schools as well? If so could someone tell me where I could see the list because I wanted to know if I should be automatically expecting secondaries from all my DO schools or will I be screened. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a list, but the school's websites should list that information. They will list the minimum requirements and cut-offs. Some schools do screen, others do not. Good luck!:luck:
 
Do you know which schools screen from the following list:
NYCOM
PCOM
VCOM
West Virginia
UMDNJ

Thanks in advance.

NYCOM, VCOM and WVSOM screen. WVSOM only gives you a secondary if you're invited for interview. By screen I mean that they look over your application MORE than just seeing if you pass their published GPA/MCAT minimums.

Best of luck 🙂
