congrats!!I was accepted with a 499
Thank you! I was incredibly worried being in this position, but I was lucky to receive multiple acceptances, so if you’re in this position definitely don’t lose hope or give up! D.O. schools generally have a much more holistic approach to looking at your applications anyway, so if you have a otherwise strong application you should be fine! This was my favorite school I interviewed at by far, each interviewer seemed like the genuinely wanted to get to know me and learn about the experiences I had- no one asked about my score. If you have any questions along the way feel free to reach outcongrats!!
Been complete since Aug 23. Haven’t heard anything since. Anyone in a similar boat?
Congrats! I received one as well!Just received the acceptance call!

How long did admissions tell you it would take to be notified? They told us 2-3 weeks to hear back.Just got my acceptance call! Interviewed on 10/11.
They told us 2-4 weeks. I was really surprised to hear back so quickly from them.How long did admissions tell you it would take to be notified? They told us 2-3 weeks to hear back.
I was accepted to the KCOM campus but got a very early hold from the SOMA campus. If it helps, many students I’ve talked to at KCOM didn’t interview until late winter/spring.Hi all, just wondering if anyone here has sent an update letter/letter of interest to ATSU? I haven't heard back from them and I've been complete since 9/28 and my R's from everywhere else are piling up. Is that too soon? Also, has anyone here gotten an II or A from one ATSU and an R from another? Any advice would be great!
oh nice, congrats! did you ever send a letter of interest or anything?I was accepted to the KCOM campus but got a very early hold from the SOMA campus. If it helps, many students I’ve talked to at KCOM didn’t interview until late winter/spring.
No I did not, I got a very early II from the school. Likely because I’m from a rural area in the midwest.oh nice, congrats! did you ever send a letter of interest or anything?
I just received this email as well...not too sure what to think of it?Has anyone else who interviewed on 10/22 received an email that says their decision is coming out on January 28?
Not at all. I submitted 10/30 and got II this week!Too late to submit secondary at this school? Above average stats but no DO shadowing
just know your app super well, and be yourself. They are super friendly and just want to get to know you!Just got an interview invite, does anyone have any advice?
Three 30 minute one on one sessions. I had one interviewer who asked your standard interview questions like strengths/weakness, ethical dilemma you've faced etc., the other two were super relaxed and they really just wanted to get to know you. Know why you did things with reference to your med school application and maybe what you took from that experience. Overall, it was just a great interview experience. Good luck!Just got an interview invite, does anyone have any advice?
Just bring a pen, mask, and a water bottle to the interview. They’ll give you a folder with plenty of information. For the reception, I wore business casual (Dress Shirt, Tie, Slacks). Not sure what that entails for girls, but maybe a dress shirt/cardigan and slacks. Good luck, you got this!My in-person interview is this week and I'm super nervous. What did you all bring to the interview? It's open-file, so really not sure if bringing my resume/app is necessary. Also, for the reception the night before, what did everyone wear? Is it formal just like the interview or more casual? It's my first interview this cycle and it's in-person as well... really unsure what to expect :/
Did you bring a backpack or bag to carry things in?Just bring a pen, mask, and a water bottle to the interview. They’ll give you a folder with plenty of information.

I believe that the accepted pending seat (APS) status is an acceptance but for the next year, so in this case, it would be a guaranteed acceptance for the class starting in 2023. If there are openings for next year's class, people on the APS list can be offered a seat for class matriculating in 2022. The alternate status is just a waitlist I think.I interviewed recently, and they let me know that I was "selected as an Alternate to the first year class beginning Summer 2022. An acceptance may be possible should openings arise." Is this a waitlist? I looked through the SDN 2020-2021 forum, and people were saying that there was an alternate status and an accepted pending status. What is the difference between these two positions and what does it mean for the position that I am in?
Just noticed this question went unanswered. Last year, one of my letter writers got my letter in very late (December), I got an II in January and was put on the waitlist. I think there were still people getting A's when I got my answer. I am still seeing people with II's and some A's so it might be worth your time.Too late to submit secondary at this school? Above average stats but no DO shadowing
Am I in a worse position compared to those on APS in terms of those who they take off the waitlist and get accepted?I believe that the accepted pending seat (APS) status is an acceptance but for the next year, so in this case, it would be a guaranteed acceptance for the class starting in 2023.

How long did it take them to give you your decision after the interview?
I really can't say, sorry I only know about this because my SO was on the APS list last year.Am I in a worse position compared to those on APS in terms of those who they take off the waitlist and get accepted?
It took them 2 weeks.
