need advice if I should withdraw my application

I would say go ahead and keep your applications. I got a very similar score and applied to 10 DO schools and IM being very hopeful. I have a a couple of questions of my own......if my file is complete except for my DO letter, will the schools call me for an interview if they like me or will they wait for the DO letter to come? Also should I send in my new MCAT scores from August to speed things up or will they get the scores soon?

HI SuzyQ:

I know that only some schools require a DO letter (like NSUCOM). At those schools, they will not call you for an interview until they receive a letter. I know MSUCOM does not require a DO letter, so you that should not hold you back unless s/he is one of your recommenders.

 

i think you should keep the application and not withdraw...actually better way is to ask the schools that you want to go to if they look down upon people who apply more than once.

suzyq.....all schools require that you have some type of recommendation from a doctor...i think....and if your apps are not complete..they won't even take a look at it, so if you stated that you will be sending recommendatoins....send it in as soon as possible , don't be a slacker like me.....about the mcat scores if you requested it to be sent to the school...just email the school to see if your scores have came in

hope this helps,

When the DO letter is sent in is beyond my control. I gave the forms to my DO a month ago and he hasnt sent them in yet! He said they should be done within the week though.....its just so aggravating knowing not its no longer in my control!!
