These are some really good questions. Unfortunately, it seems like no one here can answer the APS status ones and only the admission committee can at this point.
There is still something I need to get off my chest since my last little update on this thread.
I would like to say that when I attended the webinar Q/A, the two individuals representing the DO school were really rude and a bit fed up with questions. I remember at various points where one of the representatives literally said that "this answer can be found on the website" to almost every question they didn't have an answer too or were tired to answer. When I asked a question about something serious, one of them rolled their eyes. They didn't seem like they wanted to be there.
Being a Colorado native, this saddened me alot. We Coloradains don't act like this. Maybe I caught them on a bad day.Maybe they are burnt out! IDK man.
I have been to so many virtual events for DO school and not one of those schools reps behaved like this. So, I have decided I will not be reapplying to this school next cycle (since they already closed their cycle) based off of their non existent empathy for prospective students.
I would highly encourage all the reapplicants to take their time researching the real environment of these schools. For me personally, I can't give my 400K tuition money to a school thats gunna treat me like ****. Only during rotations will I allow the residents and physicians to do that lol
P.S. this was my number one choice for DO. God I was so wrong
