Osteopathic Schools with Silent Rejections

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For me, LECOM never changed my status or contacted me with an update after putting me under review. This is the only one I had this experience with, but I only ended up submitting secondaries to about 6-7 schools. VCOM sent me an email in late April saying I wouldn’t be receiving an interview so that was pretty late notice.
 
Post-secondary, pre-interview hold is brutal. Up there with Waitlist+NoAcceptance.
 
Wouldn’t apply to KYCOM unless I had a gun against my head. Probably the lowest fathoming do school in country. I remmeber my interview there lol it was a joke and joke of a redneck town
 
PCOM PA, NYIT

Idk, I withdrew my PCOM application (long story short, after I’d already been accepted at another DO school in November, I checked my PCOM portal in December only to see that they reported not to have received my secondary application fee; emailed them with my bank/credit card statement and their email receipt showing I had paid it; they refused to admit I had paid the fee; I told them to check with the bursar; they told me “we didn’t get it” again; so I emailed PCOM telling them that I did a chargeback with their email as proof that they never received my application fee and withdrew my app; after which they emailed me “oh, never mind, we actually did get it.”) LOL

Then they hit me with NOT ONE but TWO rejection emails 4 months later at the end of April.
