Oh and Nascardoc--it was 70 degrees today in Austin--on Jan 26th!!! Now you know why I am scared of snow!!
I had such a great time at DCOM!!! We had the most awesome group of interviewees--i hope we all get in--felt like we were a class already!! Even Bob mentioned how close we all were! Glad to see MikeMD made it home safely.
I want to thank the students who came out to the Oasis on Thurs night. You really helped us feel the excitement surrounding your school and answered all our questions. You really have a school you can be proud of!! I was so impressed with the technology at DCOM! Good Luck on the exam on Monday!!!

Sorry about that guys, I don't know whats wrong with their link it keeps adding (new) in place of (www) when I try to get to their web site.
Here's their numbers. 1-800-349-9526
1-423-626-9393
Try calling them if their web site doesn't come back up. I was just on it a few days ago but it won't work for me right now. Sorry all 🙂
I will definitely be praying for both of you and your sweet baby. If either of you have any questions I would be glad to try to help. 😀
👍 Its cool to have another person from CA there! I am also interviewing on 2/19! This is my very first interview!!! I got a late start on the whole process and one of my LORs isn't even in yet (still waiting, its the DO one). By the way, HippieChick, are you going to the Oasis pizza thing? It sounds like fun and good way to relax a bit (I'll be a nervous wreck probably) Any others out there interviewing with us that day?
I'm a long time reader here on SDN (>1year), but never really post much. I've read the ENTIRE LMU-DCOM thread, Part I and the sequel, Part II. It took me several days to get through!😛 This whole LMU-DCOM thing really has me excited though! It has quickly become one of my top choices. It reminds me a lot of my high school. It was new too, and in the middle of the mountains, but I decided to go there because everyone seemed so happy and friendly. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life!
Funny story for my interview call...😆
I got the call from Janette (nicest lady!) on my cell phone while driving on the freeway. I thought it was going to be some sales person because it was a private number. I decided to pick it up anyway...'Hi, this is Janette and I'm calling you from the DeBusk Osteopathic school to invite you for an interview."😱 I got so damn excited that I thought I would drive straight into the center-divider!
With one hand on the wheel and the other on my phone, watching my odometer go higher and higher from all the excitement (75...80...85!). I must have seemed awkward or lame over the phone, but I said something like "Obviously I'm very happy and excited about this, but I can't talk right now because I'm driving on the freeway". Mind you, I said all of this in a very calm voice.
She was so nice about it, asking me if she could call me back at a more convenient time! I asked her to call me back in 45 minutes. I hung up the phone and started screaming and slamming the wheel! My sister was sitting next to me, telling me I should have shown some of that excitement while she was on the phone! Way to make feel stupid sis! 😀
So I start thinking...oh no! I'm an idiot! This must have been the first time when somebody was actually rude enough to say, 'just call me back in 45 minutes, I can't talk now'. Needless to say, when she called back, I apologized 25 times for "earlier". She seemed to insist though that it was better for me not to get in an accident!
So thats my story and I'm sticking to it! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

I have a couple of questions:
1) Does Dr. Stowers only call if you are accepted, but if you are waitlisted or rejected you only get a letter?
2) How does the waitlist work at DCOM? I think I remember hearing at Oasis that most (or all) waitlisted people ended up being accepted last year. If you don't end up getting accepted from the waitlist, do you have to reapply next year or do they guarantee you a spot?
The suspense is killing me....
here's the info that mr. carney gave us at the end of our interview day:
1) accepted= phone call. waitlist=letter
2) last year 10 people were taken from the waitlist. not much movement...BUT there was someone that has already moved to accepted. someone who posts on here...can't think of who it is...look a few pages back. 🙄
hope this helps. keep your fingers crossed!

Someone at the interview (I think Dr. Stowers?) said they accept about 50% of those who are interviewed...so those numbers are about right...
This is a question for current students and recent interviewees: After visiting DCOM, did you just know that DCOM was the school for you?
thanks,

P.S. good job on your grueling exam today DCOMers! phew...hearing about it was enough to make me go 😱
P.P.S. Hi Mike....just wanted to say hi to a fellow intervieweeeeee! 😀
