Got the letter from TOURO NY today- I've got a 3.65 cum gpa, 3.8 sci gpa, but the 22 MCAT did me in.

You were rejected by DMU? Was it post-secondary?
Yeah it was post secondary. What burns me is that they usually screen pre-secondary. They gave me the secondary, took my money, and rejected me. I was hurt too. It was one of my top choices. Oh well.

How long ago were you complete at DMU? I am wondering when I can expect my rejection.
That's what I was thinking. If they were going to reject you why not just do it pre-secondary. This is what I think will happen if I submit Touro-NV so I'll probably just skip it. I'm assuming they didn't really tell you why, right?

Oh man prions that stinks! I can't believe they just rejected you instead of putting you on hold at least. I'm assuming they didn't say why.
I know! Pretty harsh, huh? They suggested that I check out their postbac program to strengthen my overall application, but they didn't specify exactly what did me in. I'm 100% sure it was my MCAT. 😀
Oh well, 12 more schools to hear from!
Have you heard anything from any schools yet?
I'm becoming sooo impatient! 🙄
Some of these post-bac programs look pretty sweet. If I don't get in this time, I'm going to do the MS in Medical Science (1-year) that TCOM offers. They re-prep you for the MCAT, and you take a bunch of med-school-like science courses. Anatomy, histology, etc.

Is this your first time applying? I applied 2 years ago, 2 allo interviews (out of state), and rejections across the board, including crickets chirping from the TX schools. I didn't know much about DO school though, and only applied to TCOM.
Since then, I've learned a lot, and also about where I should apply. If I had known then what I know now, I'd probably be in my 2nd year of med school right now. Maybe not.
But if I have to re-apply, I will have to re-take the MCAT, because it will be too old for most places. I'd rather not go through it again, but I will if I have to. And there is something to be said for entering med school with a lot of those classes (from the post-bac) under your belt and fresh in your mind.
But yeah... all things being equal, I am really tired of applying to medical school. I'm tired of entering in every single class I've ever taken for 3 application services, I'm tired of writing personal statements, and I'm tired of secondary applications. I'm tired of staring at my blackberry, waiting for the red light to come on (indicating e-mail), and then being pissed when its one of my friends and not a med school.
I'd just as soon get in this time. Hopefully you won't have to go through this nonsense that I did.
By the way, I have been officially un-rejected from Touro-CA, so I will alter the list accordingly.

Hey sleepmd2be,
I don't mean to make you feel bad, but the interview at CCOM didn't go well as you thought it would? Were you expecting a rejection? thanks.
The adcoms have not met to decide the fate of the first round of interviewers yet - as far as I know.
🙁 Prions
I know - I can't even look at the acceptance thread lest I get jealous and angry and more and more frustrated.
Hang in there! We can be miserable together 🙁
I was rejected from CCOM a few weeks ago but i just got my new MCAT scores and I improved by 8 points to a 29Q. I was wondering if I could ask them to reconsider my application in light of my new MCAT scores? What do you think?

Did they put you on hold or have you not heard anything from them? I'm on hold at VCOM and haven't heard a peep from 9 schools. Hang in there, good news is coming your way soon, I know it. 😉![]()
