Represent your Pod School!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
OCPM 2011!!!


ps-I didnt get to check out all the students when I was there, but I was surprised by how many hot chicks I did see on my visit. Sure beats my school now.
 
LOL! Maybe I will apply to that school! LOL! 😀
 
The College of Podiatric Medicine at Des Moines University 2011
You know it's good cause the name's long
 
just got accepted to CSPM (california)... Samuel Merritts is awesome...the nursing students are lookin hottt
 
I'm a second year student at Barry (c/o 2009).


I had poked around on SDN a little bit a few years ago when I was an undergraduate to find out about the MCAT and interview processes. It seems to really have grown since then....
I was unaware of the podiatry forums here until I read an article in the recent Winter 2007 edition of APMSA's First Step newsletter. The article, by a SCPM student who I would imagine is a forum member, was pretty well written, and I figured I'd check it out. I recognize jonwill and IlizaRob's names from the article. It seems like some good discussions and a lot of nice residency information available here; hopefully I can log on periodically and read or post a bit.

**One thing is really confusing me, though:
CSPM = Cali School of Pod Med
CPMS = Coll of Pod Med and Surg (Des Moines)

^Is that right? I'm pretty sure I figured it out from context, but just making sure...
The two acronyms used are so close... why not call the Iowa school DMU?

👍

It is CPMS and not DMU because Des Moines University is all of the colleges (osteo path, PA, PT, MHA, MPH). People use the terms interchangeably.

After they interviewed me and asked if I would let them be my sponsor for a large sum, I told them that it wouldnt be right if they didnt also at least mention your name in a random article. You can thank me later big daddy. :laugh:
 
After being a Pitt Panther for four years, I am proud to say that I will be going to OCPM in the fall! 😍
 
thanks 😛
 
what made you chose OCPM?
 
To be honest, I had every intention of going elsewhere before interviewing.. My best friend goes to another school and I was dead set on attending. I only applied to four schools and ohio was the second one I interviewed at. During the interview, everyone was very enthusiastic about the school.. I like how the professors are accessible and how the school is moving to Independence. Its only a couple miles from Cleveland so you can live in the suburbs and still get the city life... After my interview, I had one of the Top schools scheduled to visit and my number one choice. I cancelled the "top school interview" because it was far away from my family and I was so happy with ohio that I wasnt interested. When I visited my "number one", I was so dissappointed .. It just seemed like a mismatch for me... Though they boast about being "ivy league"... I am the type of student that needs professors accessible.. I personally feel that a student should choose where they fit in and what makes them happy..Somewhere that will foster their excellence..Ohio did that for me... Everyone is different and you should make a list of pros and cons... Thats what I did after the interviews.. Good Luck with your decision!😛 :laugh:

Congrats👍
It sounds like you made the best choice for yourself.
 
Nycpm 2007, Yeah Baby!!!
 
Cspm 2011 😳)
 
OCPM 2011.
I was accepted to Temple, but did not like the area. When I found out that OCPM was moving out of the city and into Independence, it was a no-brainer for me.
 
NY here. This city is F-ing awesome!!! 😍

I keep finding something new and amazing and it never seems to let up.

And I'm hott. 😎
 
Nycpm 2011!
 
I asked this in the pre-pod forum but it may be better asked here...

I was told at NYCPM that they offer housing at either Draper or Parkchester. Can any NYCPM students who live at Draper / Parkchester comment on the style of the place ( bedroom type, home/apt style, kitchen/bath/living room, etc), price of rent and what is included/not included (if you don't mind), what's around, ease of getting to class, etc. I am thinking about NYCPM and if so, would definitely choose one of these two options. Have any pictures by chance of your place/area, PM me. Thanks

Est-ce que vous parlez francais? Ca semble que ca serait difficil d'aller a l'ecole en francais sans savoir le parler. Bonne chance!
 
Oui je parle francais 🙂 And that's why my English is so bad
The university only accept 25 students each year, and for now we must be a resident of the province of Quebec to apply. 3/4 of the program is done in french. But we have 1/4 of the program that's given by DPMs of the NYCPM, and we have to go 4 months there during our 4 year. No one ever graduated from the University, first canadian DPM ever will gratuate in april 2008 (I will in 2010)

I see. What part of Quebec are you from? I have lived all over the province some years back. It's where I learned french. I enjoy Vieux Quebec and it's environs and many parts of Montreal. I was just there last summer again visiting. Gotta love the poutine and tarte au sucre!
