No Secondary?

Many DO programs talk about how you fill out your secondary at the interview. So, my question is, when can i express why i really want to attend PCOM, or NYCOM, or NOVA, or whatever. My PS obviously discusses my desire to become a DO, but does this mean I won't get a chance to show how interested I am in a specific school till the interview? Can I mail them something to include in my app perhaps?

Hi. Most DO schools actually will send you a secondary after they receive your AACOMAS application. NYCOM is one school I know of who invites for interviews and send a secondary at the same time. But, even then, you fill out the secondary at home and bring it to your interview. Most of the schools you will have a chance to express interest in DO in the secondary, and based on that and scores, etc... they will invite for interviews.

PCOM will send you secondary.

And for any schools that don't send a secondary until you get an interview invitation, I think it can only help if you go ahead and send them a letter on why you want to attend the school. That's one of the things I would've done differently if I had to apply again.

I recall that one of the essays for PCOM was specifically geared towards why you want to attend there.
