So I have an interview on 3/24 for Nova DO. Considering its the only school I'm alive at, I'll take it if I get in. But I was curious, what tier of DO would Nova be?

I didn't know about the DPM to DO track. That's interesting, and I just wonder why no one thought of that before.A DO is a DO...and this cycle has been really something else. That said, NOVA has a number of issues.
From what I've read on this forum, they are like NYITCOM, once a lot more reputable, but now has over expanded with higher attrition.
It's definitely interesting they offer a 3 year DPM to DO track, lol.

Two of the four last years have declining first-time COMLEX pass rates. The last two years for which we have data are in the low 90s. They still have yet to post data for the 2019-20 cycle, which is fishy. Some 7% of their 2018 grads failed to match, ditto 4% of their Class of 2019. There are also signs of significant delay to graduation in these numbers. That’s still not good for a veteran school. I’d expect > 95% pass rates and match rates closer to 100%. These problems are you expect from a new school. Something is very wrong there. See: Residency Match Data and COMLEX Level 3 Board Scores | NSU COMWould you mind going into more detail? Thank you

Yes, I obviously meant osteopathic schools since the was the about osteopathic medical schools asked in the pre-DO thread.So you're saying Harvard = NEOMED when it comes to applying for residency? Maybe you were referring to osteopathic medical schools are all the same. This is true except the state DO schools tend to make up the majority of competitive matches (ENT, Urology, etc) since they have most opportunities or their own GME.
anon, you actually have to try in order to fail boards. just don't show up high to class all the time and you have a fighting chance. run from low board pass rates.Two of the four last years have declining first-time COMLEX pass rates.

From my understanding there is an unspoken path that is similar at DMU. However this comes from a colleague and friend who graduated when I was 6. lolI didn't know about the DPM to DO track. That's interesting, and I just wonder why no one thought of that before.
