Ahhh I'm rather naive and wouldn't have thought twice about that, but come to think about it yea that's probably a bad idea to do it virtually...sorry 🙁
Maybe a rental agency? Maybe someone at UNE could give you the name of a few?

Yeah, I pretty much did the same thing. I'd rather save my money than go on any other interviews later in the season. With that said, I haven't withdrawn from anywhere else yet (curious about where else I'll get interviews).
My wife and I may have to move to Biddeford for a couple of months. We'll see. I just don't want her to drive once winter arrives. I'm used to New England weather, she's not. I'd rather commute and live near where she ends up working.
BTW, anyone up for starting a UNECOM class of 2017 forum?
Send me an IM if you're going to attend the school. I wouldn't mind getting to know my classmates.
I wish you the best of luck with all of the other schools and the moving process. I got accepted into one of my top schools at the beginning of this week, so most likely I will not be attending UNECOM anymore. You mentioned in another post you should have applied to BU because you are from the New England area. You def should have. Why didn't you? Best of luck! 🙂

It never crossed my mind. I only at schools where my stats were very competitive. I think BU's MCAT average is something like 32, and mine was 29. It's amazing what 3 points can do to your ego. Plus, the prefer Mass residents and I'm from Vermont.
Congrats! Too bad you lost the 500, but it's no big deal in the long run.

Oh I see... I still think you should have at least tried. One of my best friends had a 29 MCAT and was accepted there last year. And they do not have a in-state preference.
Well, but what really matters is that you are accepted. More importantly, you are accepted to a great school. 🙂
Yeah, I should have waited a bit more to pay the 500. But I will lose if for a good cause!

Does anyone know how to communicate a decline of acceptance to UNE? It doesn't say anything about it in the letter.

I don't remember the specific dates they were meeting, but I think they might have been behind for a little from the storm and stuff.
@rcheech, Thanks. Wish we could be classmates. Alas, we will have to find another occasion to hang out. 😀

Give them a call. They will most likely accept a letter. Definitely Lisa Lane will be the go-to person for that.

Is it a bad sign that people who interviewed after me have been accepted, while I have yet to hear anything? Has anybody been accepted after more than several weeks of waiting post-interview?

I interviewed 10/2 and was told I would hear back withing 4-6 weeks and was accepted 11/12.. If they gave you a timeline on when you should expect to hear back and that timeline has expired I would send Lisa Lane an email or call the admissions office to see where you application is in the process.

A lot of the time, there are procedural reasons for why there is a hold-up. Such as, the admissions committee is scheduled for this day, but your application file wasn't complete before someone goes on vacation. So you may be stuck waiting until the next committee meeting.
Or maybe they waitlisted you. Another possibility.

I was complete over two weeks ago...is it a bad sign that I have not received an II? Has this school sent out rejections or do they silently reject?

Does anybody get rejected post-interview at UNECOM? Also, has anybody been notified of their acceptance via snail mail before receiving word via email?

I received an email 3 days before I got my letter.
I found out by email, but I know they said they would send a letter as well so I could see that being possible. I would politely contact them if you haven't heard within 4 weeks because that is the time frame they gave. I don't think that falls under the category of badgering the admissions staff.

It's unfortunate that you think about an entire profession that way.

Alright, maybe I shouldn't post comments before I have my morning coffee. Good luck! Hopefully, you get to study medicine in the upcoming year 🙂

Thank you. Yeah, I understand what was on your mind. I forgive you.
What I meant to say was that my hopes, interests, MCAT score, GPA, personal experiences, ECs, Community service, and research will make me more likely to get accepted into DO schools and also succeed as a DO. A DO's holistic approach to medicine and additional osteopathic manipulative techniques provide advantages MD schools do not have. I totally understand that Osteopathy medical education is NOT something to underestimate. It is a profession that is selective and has strict ethical roles and high expectations. Becoming a DO physician is as rigorous as becoming an MD physician. I know what I am getting into and have weighed everything about the realities of pursuing the DO path. I still want to do it and go all the way. The sky is the limit.
Besides, my MCAT score is a big drag for getting into allelopathy schools (average MCAT is 31-32 with 10s and 9s being deemed as minimally competitive). I have a 26 (10-8-8). 8 in BS for MD schools really puts me out of reach (according to MSAR)

Again, sorry about that... I understand where you are coming from. Let's bring research to the DO field and give it more visibility.

Hi!
Don't know if these were asked already but for all those who have interviewed, do you mind sharing your interview experience and also how long the entire process take?
I am trying to book a flight from atlanta and some general idea about the logistics on the interview day would really help a lot.
Thank you so much!

Hey, I interviewed in early October and the process was pretty straight forward. If i remember correctly the day started off with one or two presentations taking about 45 minutes a piece and then you spend most of the day waiting for the interview. During that time you sit with students who tell you about their experiences and field any questions. (They were extremely helpful I thought) After about half the people interview one of the students who was fielding your questions will take you on a tour of the campus. I think the day started around 730-8 and I got out about 11 11:30) You will know when you get there as they tell you at what time and in what order you all interview. I think I was the third to interview with my particular faculty member. I'm sorry I cant be exact on everything it happened over six weeks ago. Hope this helps.
Same boat as you - I've been complete since July and have heard nothing regarding a status update from UNECOM.

Interviewed 11/15, accepted 11/21.
For the people who are asking about the interview day:
It is very relaxed. You will show up and get a folder and then sit at their cafe until they are ready or you. After that you will have an hour long information session. Following this session you will have on interview with two people. This is very relaxed and conversational. They will ask you about why you want to be a doctor and might through in an ethics question. During the time between the information session and the interview, you will be waiting outside at the cafe or taking a tour. There are two sets of interview teams, so if I was second on my team I would wait 30-45 minutes for the first person to go, and then the thrid person in my team would go and interview with those same people. During the day you are welcome to any food they have in their cafe. I interviewed in the morning and was out around 12:30PM. Hope this helps.

Fantastic. I am still waiting to hear back. I love DO schools and their mission

I was complete on the 14th as well, but I haven't heard anything from them yet. I'm OOS though.
My feeling was that they are trying to figure out if you are applying solely osteo or using as a backup for allo. I applied to an equal number of both, they asked me a bunch of questions about it in my interview, but I was accepted.

I applied equally to both allo and osteo as well. I was a little put off that they asked for that info on the secondary. I haven't seen that from any other school. I was honest but I don't see how it has any bearing on whether you would be a good fit for their school.
I am sure it has been asked at some point but this is a very long school-specific thread. How long did it take to receive a secondary after your aacomas was verified and delivered? Mine was verified on 11/13 and delivered on 11/22 and have yet to receive any sort of confirmation email. I received my DMU secondary right away on 11/26 so I am just curious. Thanks!
