Amy B, I am totally with you. My neighbors don't give me my mail, and I know this because I get their mail and give it back to them, but their are rude and don't give me my mail. I know this since two supplementals were sent and "lost" in the mail. Hard to believe. I called the schools and had them send out to me.
The interview intvites came pretty quickly for three schools, I was rather surprised. I am just curious about those schools that only send snail mail WITHOUT an email confirmation for interviews and whether or not I have been invited. Again, I'll wait a little for those other schools and call them to let them know about my mail siuation.
I know, I have developed an email twitch and obsessive compulsive disorder walking back and forth to the mailbox - especially more possible to do on Saturday since I work during the week. Run or distract yourself when the urge hits you to keep checking mail. I personally turn into Monica and start cleaning anything and everything. Cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, washing my car, organizing and rearranging my closet!
EReze, I had to search for a DO towrite my letter. I met with him once, and he wrote the letter. It's not stellar, but it was a pretty good meeting, and at least I met the requirement. The other letters should make up for the DO letter that I sent. It was difficult for me to shadow a DO and get to know him/her since I work. If you have any other friends that are applying osteopathic, ask them who wrote their letter, and ask for the number and then that doctor will be more willing to help out. The other option is if their is DO school nearby, call and ask about clinicians. These are willing physicians who want to teach. You might have betterluck with them. Good luck in getting the rec! Stay persistent, it will all pay off in the end.
