Are you IS?

 

[Premedt123]

Are you IS?

OOS, midwest

 

[Dr_to_be]

so they require a DO letter? well I don't have one, should I even continue to apply? I just finished their super long secondary...

Yes you should. They will offer you a waiver. You have to write a one page essay about what you know about osteopathic medicine and why you want to go to DO school. I turned one in and had my interview today.

 

[EzMac365]

Secondary received on 8/19 around 10am CST, submitted later that afternoon.

II received on 8/19 around 3pm CST. OOS Midwest

Congrats! What were the dates available to interview, do they provide options through Sept?

I had a same thing, where instantly after sending the secondary I got the invite. Not the case for some others. Curious why that is?

 

[EArlyBirdGetsTheWorm]

The post Interview wait is killing me. The more I think about it, the more I keep going over things I said and if they came out the way I said them.

I actually got a letter from the school thanking me for interviewing and they wrote something personal from that day which was thoughtful. They keep moving up on my list.

 

[premedhaa]

Is there any word limit to answer secondary prompt?

 

[EzMac365]

Congrats! What were the dates available to interview, do they provide options through Sept?

Thank you. I was a little shocked as the only dates provided were Aug 23 and Aug 26. Tried to refresh and mess with the interview sign-up page to find more options like the page said, but could only get those two dates.

I'd be curious if others could find any Sep. dates because I couldn't get that to populate for some reason.

 

[EzMac365]

Yeah, a really weird deal. The time from when I submitted secondary + technical standards to the interview invite was 37 minutes...

 

[EzMac365]

Is there any word limit to answer secondary prompt?

Didn't seem like it. For reference, my longest was ~250 words and the shortest was ~130 words.

The handwritten note is super cute!

[raizmedschoolapps]

Finished applying to all my schools and this school is the only one I got a pre secondary rejection too 🥺🥺 I have above a 3.5 gpa and 500 MCAT so I’m kinda confused 😅 does this school take a lot of in state residents?

No, most of the matriculants are out of state.

I got it as well! I have an MCAT retake scheduled for Sep 10th, maybe that's why?
Also I've seen you in so many of the same school threads that I'm applying to.

+1. Super confused as well. Should I send an email or call tomorrow to express my interest or is that bad?

If you got the same email as me that isn’t a rejection at all

Literally made an SDN account just to come on here and see if this was considered technically a rejection (even though yes, it says it's not a rejection). I've submitted all my things but waiting for a committee letter to be submitted

Yeah it says it's not but it sure feels like one

 

[drthedude]

To ease some minds, this is from last cycle's thread:

 

[omogedoctor]

Well hopefully I hear from them later in the cycle. I'm still very much interested.

 

[raizmedschoolapps]

Same here.

Yup got put on hold too. I took it as a rejection lol
