Joining DO school is worth if I don’t get into EVMS ?

That's a question only you can really answer. Do you already have a DO acceptance? It's getting much more competitive to get into DO schools and some require DO shadowing as well so it's definitely not a sure thing if you apply DO next cycle.

Trust me, I totally get it. You really shouldn't have applied to DO schools though if you weren't willing to attend them if they were your only acceptance. There is also no guarantee that you'll ever receive another acceptance from any school. I'm not saying that your application isn't good, but nobody can predict the future. Also, I'd consider the potential for blacklisting from schools on the basis of turning down an acceptance without a legit reason. Personally, if it was me I'd take the acceptance in your shoes if I didn't get off the waitlist. I also don't know your stats though and if you have like a 3.8 and a 515 then it's probably a different story lol.

Congrats on the awesome MCAT score! That's a tough call tbh, but I'd still probably take the DO acceptance unless you're willing to do a post-bacc to up your GPA some prior to reapplying. Unfortunately, your GPA is a bit on the low side and unless you had an epic upward trend you may run into the same issues if you decide to reapply. Hopefully, that won't even be a concern though because you'll get in off the waitlist! Wish you the best of luck.

I’m not sure yet. Fortunately I have 7 days so I can have time to factor in a few things, but I definitely loved this school when I visited

Ouch ... I guess I should wait then . You mean it took you 22 days since acceptance????

Yup! 22 days after the acceptance comes the login credential for me. It might be different for you though but rest assured it'll be there.

5 days here!

hmmm.... maybe i would wait till next monday (it would be 12 days since acceptance) and call them if i dont receive it till then. I do not want to bother them too much, i can only imagine how busy they are, but i just have to get a lot of paperwork together and it takes time. I wanna make sure i am on top of things

This might seem like a dumb thing for me to say, but did you check spam/junk? Another schools first email was from a different email address and went to junk.

How long did it take for you to get an email from certiphi about the background check? I got accepted 2 weeks ago and haven't received anything yet

Yeah , that’s exactly what I thought too ! I’ve been checking spam folder hourly :). I was accepted last Tuesday , so it is probably too early

Is the commit to enroll button under the choose your medical school tool? for some reason I don't have the option to choose CTE yet...
Click to expand...
yes, it is there. go to "choose your medical school", then "edit selection", and when you select edit, it will give you an option to choose CTE instead of PTE

Yep, figured out that the first time I checked was before 9:30am. Oops!
Officially clicked CTE - can't wait for august!

There is no need to think about hitting "commit to enroll" today if I have already selected "plan to enroll" for EVMS and it is my one acceptance, right?

Right. If you’re still waitlisted somewhere you want to go, you remain PTE, but you’re supposed to be pte for one school only

Before hitting CTE did you withdraw from all the schools you applied to? Or just the ones you were accepted/waitlisted at? The wording on the amcas site is a bit confusing.

Just the ones I was accepted at!

Since the interview season in my schools is over, i am assuming all of them are rejections. I have already narrowed down to one acceptance a week ago, but after being accepted to EVMS on Tuesday, i immediately notified that school and withdrew. So, as of today i just have the EVMS acceptance and one waitlist. Today after hitting the CTE button for EVMS i emailed the school that i am waitlisted at to ask them to remove me from waitlist.
