Good luck!
I just got into MSUCHM! I am so freaking happy. Although being a spartan... I dunno about that after so many years of being a wolverine 😛
Congrats on the MD acceptance! 👍

Keep the faith!!!
Just got accepted to RVUCOM......then got home after celebrating only to find an interview invite from KCOM in my email inbox. Wow...what a GREAT ending to a great day. I am about 99.9% sure I am attending RVU! Loved the school, people, and the state.....not to mention I have TONS of family there😉
Good luck to the rest of the underdogs! I am a reapplicant...and if you are interested in my stats, just search my earlier posts in this thread and you will find them!

CrissX what program were u with? I also volunteerd in Ecuador. I went for one month and shadowed various docs, rebuilt an orphanage, and travelled the rest
Haha yea, the front desk people were all about making sure everyone interviewing knew each other. When I interviewed I got there kind of early so I was sitting out by the pool all afternoon and the front desk guy kept bringing every new interviewee out there to meet all of us when they checked in lol. The weather is definitely gorgeous down there!
I feel like an underdog! My mentor told me a 25P on MCAT was not good enough!! Talk about a total discouragement. I'm hoping that my MS in Exercise Phys helps my application....3.2 sci GPA...3.8 overall.
Should I retake the MCAT? Does a grad degree significantly strengthen your application?
Thank you!😎
Thanks for your help!....I'm still planning on applying this year though. I'm pressing my "reviewers" to hurry up with my letters of recommendation. Am I too late??
haha wow this thread is slowing down so much. All the usual suspects on here all got accepted by now and seem to not post much anymore😛
Yes..and I am getting more and more envious by the day. I have applied to 15 DO schools and the only interview invite i have had so far is TouroNY (which doesnt really count since its an automatic interview). Granted my apps weren't complete until mid-late sept. but I am starting to get nervous that the rest of my schools haven't contacted me yet.
My stats are solid I think (cumm 3.55, science 3.75, 27Q), but what worries me is that I have not yet taken orgo. Im taking orgo I now and Orgo II in the spring. Im worried schools aren't going to like the fact that I have no orgo and they may hold off on the interview invites.
I really just need ONE school to contact me and invite me to lift my spirits, bc right now I am just tortured with each day that goes by with no invites...I really hate this process.

First off I will say my comment is a good thing. You are NOT an underdog. You have a good GPA and a good MCAT. Underdogs I think was defined as one of either less then 3.2 GPA or less then 27 GPA? (someone can correct me)
just rejected from nsu. they can lick my privates. at least other schools rejection letters were encouragin. like "we recommend you do this to improve your application..." yada yada yada. but they were like. its competetive, u suck. maybe you would be interested in these careers instead. if I have to reaply. i won't be reapplying there. jerks.
btw I did not feel like this over my other rejections. lecom and kcom. but this letter was just came off arragont to me. grr.

Finally got my first interview! Its at Western-Lebanon. I didn't think I was gonna get in this application cycle because I'm posting a 3.0 sci 3.2 ovrl GPA and 26 MCAT. Its nice to have even a little bit of hope!
i forgot to post it, accepted to LECOM B!👍👍
you need a higher mcat for an SMPapplied to 15 schools (i count vcoms 2 campuses seperate) and have recieved 5 rejections so far, no interviews. rejected pre secondary from wcucom and dmu(which was polite). and rejected pre interview at nova lecom e and kcom. for some reason i haven't recieved a rejection from erie but I have a feeling its coming. Although I got my new mcat score and it only went up 2 points (23-->25) I figuered some schools would like that as I went up 3 points in the PS and down 1 in verbal (going from a 6 to a 9 in the PS). but I am just not hearing anything. Plus i am on hold at vcom and lmu wants to wait for this semesters grades. I don't know why a lot of these schools are waiting for this semesters grades. I mean I am retaking 2 pre req's Bio 1 and Physics 1 which as the way its going I will be recieving an A in both but what confuses me is I have anhilated numerous upper div bio's such as biochem and med botany etc. So I dunno maybe my upward trend, although substantial is just not good enough but I figuered going from a 1.8 sci gpa to a 3.0 sci gpa would be good enough to look past just bieng a 3.0. I am thinking of doing an SMP but I am getting the feeling looking at this thread that if my mcat were much higher I wouldnt need one.

Didn't you apply later in the cycle?
Yes, I believe he applied around the same time as me (mid-late sept).
I also have applied to 15 DO schools. So far all I have heard is:
LecomB-rejected outright
Azcom- waitlisted pre-interview
TouroNY-got the whole automatic interview thing but no date given yet.
Have not heard from anyone else. I guess it's kind of a good thing not to have heard because it seems like schools who are not interested in your application send you a rejection letter very soon. So, if it's been a month or so with no word, I assume that means schools have some level of interest.
I am just very concerned about this application cycle. All schools are reporting record levels o QUALIFIED applicants. They just seemed spoiled for choice.
I have mentioned my stats:
cumm 3.55
science 3.75
MCAT-27Q
Avg EC's great LOR's.
In other years I would be fairly certain that I would get a good number of interviews and almost certainly a few acceptances. This year I truly am concerned that I (and ppl with similar stats) will be rejected by everyone.
My stats aren't amazing, but they are certainly competitive for DO schools, but I am worried that "competitive" just isn't going to cut it this year.
What do you guys think? Is there reason for concern that someone with my stats (and that I applied mid-late sept), could conceivably get turned down by all 15 DO schools?

Absolutely anything is conceivable, however I don't think it's likely. I think they are just taking awhile to get through all the applications. Time is a pretty crucial thing in this process and the sept. appliation bunch is behind some of the initial rush. I am a re-applicant, and if this process has taught me anything it that you have to expect the unexpected.
haven't posted in a while but....
accepted!
WVSOM
I think it helps that i'm from the area
Yea, of course anything is possible, I am just trying to get a sense of how likely it is that I will get turned down by all 15.
As I said, in previous years I would be very confident, but this year it just seems insane. If I had applied in June I would also feel great about my chances but I couldnt take the MCAT until August so my apps weren't done until mid-sept.
I also am wondering when I will start hearing from my schools. Aside from the rejection from lecomb and waitlst from azcom, no one else has responded. When i call and ask the schools they all say the same "you can be contacted for an interview anytime from now until april".....great, thats very helpful.
Do you think I should be hearing soon considering my mid-late sept apps, or will it likely be months longer?
cGPA-3.22, sGPA-3.17, MCAT 28R
I had know idea what to expect this application cycle, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how well my application was received. I applied to 7 schools and have interviews at 6 of the 7 (the only one I haven't heard from is OSU so that is still alive at least). I have had two of the interviews already and I was accepted to both! Lecom-B and LMU. I pretty sure I will be attending LMU as I actually like the area 🙂 Anyways underdogs keep your heads up! Now that I'm in I'm taking it as easy as possible and spending as much time as possible doing whatever I feel like!!! It's a great feeling..😀
congrats man, thats amazing!! when were your apps complete and submitted?
just rejected from nsu. they can lick my privates. at least other schools rejection letters were encouragin. like "we recommend you do this to improve your application..." yada yada yada. but they were like. its competetive, u suck. maybe you would be interested in these careers instead. if I have to reaply. i won't be reapplying there. jerks.
btw I did not feel like this over my other rejections. lecom and kcom. but this letter was just came off arragont to me. grr.
