How late is too late to be complete?

[ReachingTruth]

Any idea what my friend's chances are if he/she completed late (mid to late January) at an osteopathic school? (For argument's sake let's say my friend applied to a few of them but is particularly interested in his in-state DO school, CCOM.)


(Yes, the friend part is a joke)

ha! i'm glad to hear someone telling it how it is!

some schools have a fast turn around, within a few weeks. i'm not really sure tho, just thought your post was funny. lots of luck. why'd you apply so late?

Methinks the allopathic world gave him no love.

In my opinion, you picked the worst school to apply late to. CCOM has been nothing but insanely, mind numbingly slow and I was complete in October. Also, they haven't been real helpful when I've contacted them.

I agree with the above. Everytime I call I get the run around.

They must be the slowest school there is. I haven't heard a single word from them. Fortunately, I don't care that much. Nice affiliation with Cook County Hospital, though. *shrug*

I really think it depends. On what? Who the hell knows?

I'm in state. I was complete mid Oct, interview invite beginning of Nov, interview beginning of Dec, and acceptance before x-mas.

In short, yes. MD interviews, but no acceptances yet.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the luck.

Congrats on the acceptance. And if any one knew what the secret formula to get in was, they'd be billionaires.

Thanks!

If you don't mind answering, which Chicago schools did you interview at?
