So, are the higher ups at debusk receptive to the idea of universal health care? I figure they are focused on increasing the number of primary care physicians in rural areas, so probably?

Thanks Cabbage! :meanie: :hijacked:

Going forward, let's take this over to the appropriate forum/thread so as not to pollute the DCOM thread. I like it when the real veterans chime in - it adds a whole new dimension!

$2k ...14 days from receipt of your letter....and don't just put it on the fridge and send copied to your parents and forget about your end of the deal....like my...friend did. 🙄 (make sure you send the deposit first!)



congrats to the new acceptances!!! :hardy:
 
Yeah, its gets down to like only a week in May I think. And down to a day further into the summer. .... Could you imagine having to come up with 2k in a day? I'd feel like a drug lord going around collecting payments or something... 🙂.



Oh, and hey everybody! I've been busy with work a lot lately. And working on the mountain skiing doesnt put me around a computer much. Plus I just got back from snowboarding in Lake Tahoe for a week. I'm trying to take as little responsibility as possible before orientation starts July 30....



Congrats on all the new acceptances!!! Everybody make sure to join up on the facebook group too.

Haha, for sure!!! I love snow. Winter is my favorite time of year. 😀 I've never been to Whistler.... I'm so jealous. I think I'm gonna try for either Europe to see family or Australia before school starts for a few weeks..... That will probably be my last big trip for a loooong while...

Nope. I don't think they've sent it out yet. Paul Carney said sometime in February last time I spoke with him.

Good to have you back on SDN Rose! I was wondering where you went! 😉

I got it a couple weeks ago. I haven't really gotten around to looking at it though.

Syncope, where in CO are you from? Did we interview together? I miss CO so much. I've been dreaming about Vail. Sucks not getting to go this year.

I interviewed at KCOM recently, and didn't get in. I had a really horrible interview with the Associate Dean. It's a really reputable school and all that, but DCOM's facilities are so much nicer. DCOM has been the nicest school I've visited so far. Everyone keeps talking about how its a new school, but I think the caliber of the faculty will make up for that. What do you all think? I'm so tempted to just withdraw from everywhere else, but people are making me freak out about this new school thing.
 
So the day I REALLY want to get on SDN, my computer decides to not connect to the internet. Figures, right?


But what I was going to say yesterday was... I WAS ACCEPTED!! =D
Thanks to everyone for all of your advice and words of encouragement!!!

YAY! Congrats 👍 Way to represent the state of Michigan 😛
 
Prions - I got mine, its sitting on my desk right now... Maybe they are sending them out in the order you were accepted or something... I dunno. Glad to be back, thanks!!! Hopefully I can keep current on checking in now that I'm on a more set schedule. I missed you guys 🙂.


Pamolive - Plenty of people at the hospital I worked and also that I told about DCOM being a new school tried to convince me otherwise about going there, but as you know, until you actually go and see the school and the commitment that everyone there has for the students and the school you just dont understand. I paid my matriculation fee and withdrew from everywhere else I applied to within three weeks or so of being accepted. So I might be a little biased, but I think you know what to do. Withdraw from everywhere else and come to DCOM!! 😀 :banana:

And congrats to jackson08!!! :banana::banana:

Oh man, you got it already?! Now I'm worried . . . I better make sure they got my deposit.

I'm sorry about KCOM. 🙁 I was rejected post interview by DMU and it really hurt. Not trying to be preachy, but I think everything happens for a reason. 😉

I have definitely thought about potential problems with going to a new school (I think everyone has thought about it), but after talking to current students and faculty, visiting the school and experiencing that everyone affiliated with DCOM is really pouring their heart into making the school the best, I trust that everything will work out and we'll have a smooth 4 years at DCOM. Hope to see you there in the fall! 🙂

Oh and way to go Jackson!!! :zip:
 
I got a call from Doctor Stowers yesterday around 2 pm Pacific time and was accepted, don't know what I'm going to do yet though😕. I really liked the school but I also like PNWU, my other acceptance. If my brother gets accepted into optometry school in Tennessee it'll make the decision easier though (He'll know by next Tuesday.)

Yay! I knew you would get in. I hope you come to DCOM. I've decided I definitely am (not that I really had options :laugh:). We must have had an impressive interview group!👍

I think everyone is talking about the matriculation/financial aid packet. I sent in my deposit a week ago, so I'm assuming mine is on the way . . . . hopefully!

I got the financial aid packet earlier in the week and what I guess is the matriculation packet on Friday. It contains instructions on getting a physical, background check, immunizations, a lot of "releases" for things like your criminal background and willingness to participate in OMM, etc.

My deposit letter came with my acceptance letter, right after my interview. I also received a seperate letter explaining that they had received my deposit a week or so after I mailed it in. I hope this helps.
