Can you tell me what DO schools screen pre-secondary?

None

Kansas City screens for their GPA and MCAT cut-offs, or at least they did a few years ago.

 

[Goro]

I believe PCOM screens out MCAT categories < 8, and AZCOM MCAT < 29. For my school, MCAT < 24

 

[Major]

I think Campbell screens for gpa less than 3.2

AZCOM will send a secondary to someone with a MCAT <29 but they were not inviting them for an interview. Read last years thread OP if interested.

Hi Goro, do you know if AZCOM screens out the latest, highest or the average if we have multiple MCAT scores?

Thanks!

 

[Goro]

Alas, don't know. Best to inquire in the school-specific forum for that.

Know of a couple of people who go invited with under 29s last fall from there.

If you're going to make a statement that "bold" at the very least include a source and good explanation.

 

[vlazlo]

Read last years thread. Lot of people who had less then 29 MCAT received a pre-interview hold letter.

I have no idea where to find that. Could you help me?

It's under osteopathic school-specific discussions. Here's the link to last year's thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...na-azcom-discussion-thread-2014-2015.1069728/

100% of schools will send you a secondary regardless of your numbers. They may throw it directly into the trash once they get it and cash your check, but no school screens before checkondaries.

Not true, I know for a fact CUSOM will not give you a secondary if you have a GPA below 3.2. Several people have already been rejected.

I dont even know what CUSOM is.

I assume its a new school? Because schools with provisional status (AKA less than 4 years old) play by very strict rules regarding class size. I would bet that this screen goes away when they are off provisional status

It is a new school, with the inaugural opening class in 2013.

I was just countering your point in that 100% of the schools will send secondaries when that is simply not true.
