Just submitted. Didn't know much about this school until about a week ago. Seems like a really good option. Hopefully my early app will give me a chance.
Just got an email from admission said primary was received

I believe they also stated in their email within 1-2 weeks they will send out secondary.
You go on their site to fill out the secondary. It's available to everyone.
Wait, for real?
Last year applications were screened, not everyone got a secondary. it took several weeks for me to get mine last year.
@getfat my bad! When I wrote that last comment I thought it was for LMU-DCOM! For MU-COM I have only received a confirmation e-mail thus far and I don't think the secondary is available to everyone. Sorry for the mishap.
match lists here? and rotation spots? can anybody comment on either of these
It's almost 2 weeks since the email received...nothing from MUCOM
Just got my secondary! I'm at work now so I'll have to fill it out later and update the prompts.

The supplemental is NOT available to everyone. We pre-screen based on minimum MCAT and GPA.

Secondary just now!
From the secondary: Please explain any gaps in education or employment longer than holidays and semester breaks.
I worked different jobs on and off throughout school, sometimes longer than semester breaks sometimes not. How do I answer this?
Prompts, 1250 characters each except last question is 750:
Are you interested in practicing medicine in Indiana?
In which area of medicine are you most interested in practicing and why?
Describe your motivation for attending MU-COM. Please be specific.
Please share any other relevant information that you would like the MU-COM Admissions Committee to know about you.

Sorry, I mentioned in a later post that I confused this page with LMU-DCOM's when making that comment.
100, pretty steep
Got the secondary
@MU COM : Do you guys accept AACOMAS fee waiver?
@MU COM : Do you guys accept AACOMAS fee waiver?
Woo! Secondary submitted!
I think it says more about my social life than anything.

It's pretty great that MU COM is posting on here 😀
Secondary submitted
Like, you took a full semester off of school? If so, I would say yes definitely explain that.
Yes a full semester off (4 month time period)......I think there is an "optional" section aswell right? So Im not sure where my explanation belongs...
Yes, we do. There is a fee waiver question on the supplemental. A “yes” answer will give you an option to upload your AACOMAS waiver.
Admissions
If the holiday break between semesters, no. If you took an entire semester off, yes.

It's been more than a week since I received the email saying my primary is under review, and I haven't heard from the program since. I'm seriously worried...
This is a crazy long process. Things often seem to take way longer than they should. Don't think anything of it until you hear official word.
Official word for not going to be giving me secondaries? I don't think they'll do that...
There was 16 days between "primary received" and "secondary invite" for me.
They'd most likely send a rejection instead.
Do not worry. All applications receive a response.
Our ramp up this year is a little slower than usual. We appreciate your patience.

Hey all!
So, I received the following email from Marian this morning, and I'm a little confused. This is my first application cycle, and I did not apply for entry to the 2016 class. I have not received any other emails from Marian. When I use the login info they sent me I am able to access the secondary app. Should I fill it out? Should I contact the office? Has anyone else received this email?
Also, when I log in, this is the message I see:
Thank you for your application to the DO program at Marian University's College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM) for the entering fall 2017 class.
The email:
I write in regard to the close of the 2016 application cycle for the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM).
The following are important updates:
I appreciate your interest in MU-COM.
Sincerely,
Bryan Moody
Director of Enrollment Management

Seems like maybe it was just a mistake, especially because those due dates have already passed. I would just email them back and ask about it, but I'm guessing that's what they'll tell you.
Please ignore the message, which was sent in error. The correct message will be resent for 2017 applicants. We apologize.
Admissions
Thank you for the quick reply.
Secondary received just now! So excited!
