Is there any additional information relevant to your ability to complete the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine program and/or be certified for licensing that the school should consider?

I mean should i answer "yes" or "no".

Also @Goro , would you still advise against applying to Touro - NY?

Goro is away on a month-long break, but I can assure you that he would advise you not to apply to Touro-NY (or LUCOM).

Does the question give you plenty of character space to respond? If so, I would think it's a section for applicants to mention anything pertinent to their application that wasn't already mentioned on their primary and secondary applications.

For example: RVU had a section like this on their secondary application, and I mentioned how I was interviewing for a job as a medical scribe and talked about my future plans for the school year. I also talked about a backup plan in case I didn't get in on my first attempt at applying to medical school. This section was brought up in my interview too and they seemed to really appreciate it.

Don't quote me on this but I think LuCOM has the highest attrition rate for DO schools. They are a very conservative religious school so many qualified applicants get turned away in favor of mediocre applicants that score 132 in the faith category. I imagine your average applicant has this school last on their list from a combination of location and strict student conduct policies (some call it a no fun policy).

Fundamentalist religion and medical education don't mix very well...

Gotcha guys, so any other school that i should stay away from? And i also kept Touro-CA, unless someone wants me to remove that as well.

Touro-CA is fine.

Some folks on SDN have been saying negative things about UNECOM's new administration, but I think it's still worth applying there if you're interested in schools in the Northeast.
