Hi,

I was curious to see if anyone on this forum has participated in this program or is applying this spring? Curious how your experiences/impressions are. Thanks.

OUCOM scares me... they wanted me to sign a five-year agreement..a CONTRACT with my secondary😱 . Maybe i should have just signed over my soul while I was at it? jk...well not really.

Anyway, sounds like a great program. Unfortunately, I am worthless and know nothing about it. 🙂 Best of luck.

Anybody know what the MCAT/gpa cutoffs are to receive a secondary from OUCOM and also how long does it take to receive a secondary after they get our primary AACOMAS and finally how important is it to get a DO letter?
 
Hey there, I posted something about the summer scholars program when I finished it this summer, back near 9/10. I was offered a spot at the end of the program and feel like it helped me be more competitive with other schools. There are alot of great things about the program, I had a blast and learned quite a bit about OMM and med school life in general.

Take care,
