When to expect DO correspondence?

[armaragon]

Hi guys,

Quick question here.

I applied to, and was considered complete, at 8 DO schools right around the end of October. I was wondering when I can start hearing back? I have a 516 MCAT, 3.5 sGPA/cGPA and experience with the osteopathic profession (Shadowed multiple DOs, DO letters, work for a DO). We can assume my hours for clinical/volunteering are high/average.

I know a lot depends on how I wrote and the entirety of my application, but when should I start to panic about lack of interview invites? (have 0 atm).

Thank you!

It's really hard to say when would be a time to "panic," but I would say if you don't receive any interview invites by March, things may not be looking great. However, with your stats, I would imagine you will receive some interview invites.

That's refreshing to hear. Thank you.

It's a very busy cycle and admissions offices have been hampered by COVID.

Hence, you can get an II tomorrow, or in March.

I thought I would let you know you are not alone with the DO school silence. I finished submitting September and have similar stats (just slightly lower). I have heard nothing from the DO schools I applied to then except 1 DO II from a brand-spanking-not-even-pre-accredited-new school I applied to in November. It's been rather surprising considering I have already received and gone to 2 MD IIs.

I don't know what's up with that because I thought I was much stronger DO material. Time will tell!

Hey, thank you so much for your response. That makes me feel slightly better, although an II would be better Hope you have continued success in your cycle my dude/dudette!

Same here, 2 MD IIs but silence from DO schools.

4.0 sgpa and a 511 mcat with similar DO response as a previous poster. (1DO acceptance to a relatively new school) I figure the high amount of applications is just taking its toll on admissions offices.
