I applied to 26 DO schools during the 2017-2018 cycle. These are the correspondence dates

[bears1992]

I am a 25 year old white male with a 3.14 cGPA, 3.44 sGPA and 505 MCAT. I figured I would go through my email and record all the email dates I had so anyone applying in future cycles could get a good idea of when to expect to be complete/receive a secondary.

Below is my WAMC post with more info on my stats/ECs
DO - 3.16 cGPA 3.44 sGPA 505 MCAT

Good luck!

You, my man, are awesome. I like getting a sense of the timeline in this torturous waiting game. I understand it takes some time, but it'd be really cool if other prior applicants compiled a comprehensive list of their dates and we can get a thread going.

Yeah. The first few months after my primaries were sent out were the worst. Checking email 10 times a day, not fun.

Are you attending Touro-NY for sure then?

Why did you decline so many II's?

I got accepted to Touro when the other interview invites came. My wife has family up there so I turned down three invites that weren’t in great locations.

If PCOM comes for you, you should bite

I would take them over Touro, hence why I went to the interview but I’m still on the waitlist so it’s looking like Touro lol.

Congrats on your acceptance! Were you missing a lot of pre reqs? It’s weird that schools placed you on hold until your classes were done right? I thought u could still get accepted with pending pre reqs??

Depends on a few factors, like how many pre-reqs you're missing, if you're currently enrolled in those pre-reqs, and how much the school likes you.

It was because I just missed the GPA cutoff.

 

[bears1992]

Good luck to everyone applying his cycle!

 

[EvidenceLockup12]

Appreciate this sort of timeline a lot!

 

[bears1992]

Appreciate this sort of timeline a lot!

It’s probably not going to prevent anyone from checking their email every hour but atleast you’ll know you’ve got a good shot at RVU if you weren’t rejected by August lol

 

[Ell19]

Wow I really appreciate this breakdown!!

 

[bears1992]

Bump for everyone applying this cycle.
