Judging by that picture, I'd say your BSE is getting worse.
Seriously... show no fear.

Don't freak out. Just go own it.
You guys are freaking me out! My DMU interview is in a couple of weeks! What was tough about it?![]()
haha...I like number 1. I didnt even realize i spelled it that way, I really need to learn to proof read. But man I definately should have followed the course of action that you laid out on the second choice. But because I dont have the stats to blow off any school (need all the chances I can get) I just sucked it up.
Well I guess I can be added to the DMU rejection list. I was put on the alternate list this morning. 😡 Its funny because I probably wasnt going to go there anyways because my wife is in Florida and I have been accepted into Nova, but it really is a shot to the ego getting rejected.

Is the "alternate" the same as the "hold" list?
I'm sorry 🙁 You were put on the waitlist after your interview, right?
Congrats on your Nova acceptance!!!! 😀
Wow, the CCOM rejections and pre-interview waitlist seem to be growing. Do they just send a letter via snail mail that says you're rejected? Any reason or anything?
CCOM has been super , super tough this year. I really don't know what's gotten into them. i'm sure my stats arent the best, but i know plenty who got accepted this time last year with similar, if not slightly less competitive stats.
I even started a grad program, continued volunteering/shadowing, did more EC's, and sent a letter of update almost every week to CCOM ... I did all this after the advice of their admissions counselors, who know me very well. I am shocked that I got the inteview waitlist..It's even worse to see fellow SDN'rs with competitive stats ( in some cases moreso than mine ) get flat out rejections.😡

I'm sorry EEL08 🙁 LECOM-Erie and Bradenton are both doing the straight out rejection post-secondary thing this year! That's what happened to me at Erie, like a week after they cashed my check!
You dont want to move to Florida anyway . . . its waaaay too damn humid out there. 😉
Thanks prions! That last part made me laugh so thanks for lifting my spirits. I'm just hoping with everything in me that Erie doesn't straight up reject me too with my husband already having an interview scheduled there. I decided I'm not going to have top choices anymore. There was a point last year where my husband and I were only going to apply MD and our top choice school replied to my husband's e-mail and said they would not even consider his app because he matriculated at another med school in the 90s. It was quite devastating. I even looked at pictures of the campus and thought maybe I might be there someday. More recently, LECOM-B became one of our top choices and just the other day I was looking at the picture of the building thinking maybe I'll be there someday soon. I swear this is a sign that I should let go of my preconceived ideas of what school would be best for us and go with the flow, so to speak. Whew, that was long!! 😀
I know how you feel. It's been a big struggle for me to let go of what I thought this process would be like and just accept what it is. I keep looking at pictures of DMU and picturing my self there . . . heck I even looked up apartments near the school and the nearest shopping malls!I just want to go there so bad 😳 I have faith that everything will work out for us . . . we just need to trust that we're on this path for a reason and whatever ends up happening is the right thing for the time being. I'm glad I have people like you to talk to because my friends are getting pretty sick of hearing me whine about how bad I want to go to med school this year!

I'm sorry to hear that EEL knowing how much you liked Bradenton. I think you will really like DCOM, though.
So I talked to Heather at LECOM-B last Friday and she said my app was being reviewed and updates or something would be sent out on Monday. I thought I was overanalyzing because it seems most of the interview invites have gone out by phone call but I wasn't. Today in the mail, straight out rejections for both me and my husband from what was one of our top choice schools. I really wanted to experience a PBL session and other aspects of the school and the area but obviously God has other plans for us. This one definitely hurts a lot more than Touro-NV but we're looking forward to DCOM so onward and upward!! 😀
UC Davis Dude -
it's not written in stone, but if youre applying with a 30 MCAT and 3.4 ish gpa, and doing so WITHOUT a d.o letter, chances are most d.o schools think that youre only applying to them as a backup..almost all the schools strongly recommend getting one.
i only say this because there are plenty of people with a lot lower stats than you ( myself included ) who got some love , * but with a d.o letter of rec.
maybe you still have time to shadow a d.o for a week or so and pull off a letter of rec? good luck either way.
I'm sorry EEL. So I didn't want to share my PBL story, but hopefully this will make you feel better: at Bradenton, there were 2 students in the group with rather large personalities, and at the end of the session, the other students complained how they were not making much progress b/c of the two students, and asked the group leader for more guidance/structure. I personally love PBL b/c that is how I did a large part of my education, but I think the schooling is more about what you put into it, and not how it is taught. I'm sure the experience will be just as good at DCOM. Goooood Luck![]()
Did you find out via snail mail or e-mail?
