Received an II! I think I’ll be receiving the official date tomorrow. It’s on-campus but they said there’s a virtual option too.

When did you submit your secondary? And how long was it until you received a “complete” emailReceived an II! I think I’ll be receiving the official date tomorrow. It’s on-campus but they said there’s a virtual option too.
Congrats btw )Received an II! I think I’ll be receiving the official date tomorrow. It’s on-campus but they said there’s a virtual option too.
I submitted the secondary Tuesday. I didn’t really get a complete email. It was just acknowledging I submitted the secondary and today they asked me to sign and send a technical standards document.When did you submit your secondary? And how long was it until you received a “complete” email
I feel you my guy, no secondary for me either and I thought I wouldve had a good chance at this schoolInterview invites already going out and I don't even have a secondary yet ((
Congrats on the II though

This isn't quite exhaustive, it does ask some other questions, namely these:Prompts are unchanged from last year:
1. Please describe a difficult time in your life and how you overcame it. Limit your response to 2-3 paragraphs.
2. Please tell us about a time you felt proud. Limit your response to 2-3 paragraphs.
3. ARCOM students can choose residencies in a wide range of specialties. If you had to pick today, what top 2 specialties would you be interested in learning more about? A narrative is not required, please simply list specialties of interest.
I did their MSB program last year and I am an OMS-1 here now. I am very thankful for the program right now! ARCOM is a great school and you can succeed here with hard work. Best of luck to you all this cycle!Any non-traditional or 2nd degree students apply this cycle?
That’s great to hear! Thank you for this feedback!I did their MSB program last year and I am an OMS-1 here now. I am very thankful for the program right now! ARCOM is a great school and you can succeed here with hard work. Best of luck to you all this cycle!
Anyone else complete the secondary and pay the fee, but that their site not reflect the changes? Their site's checklist says I am currently at like 50% complete.
No. Some people got it automatically but for the people who didn’t they are just now starting to review those primaries and send them secondaries! I emailed them earlier this week.Should we assume we got screened out if we submitted our primary in June and don’t have a secondary yet

Even if they wanted to fill their classes with only in-state applicants, I don't think there would be enough applicants with decent stats to fill a class of 150.Is ARCOM OOS friendly? Thanks!!
There are still plenty of people in NY, NJ, FL, CA in my class.OOS to ARCOM is nearby states as well so keep that in mind lot of attention from regions nearby

You have the option for either. They are very understanding in their interview invite email and will allow you to choose the one you wantDoes anyone know if they’re doing interviews in-person only or optional in-person this year? On the ChooseDO site, it says optional. But their website and the email following my secondary submission, mentioned on-site interviews.
I am so excited for you!! Good luck, tell me how you like Fort Smith if you have time!Got an interview!!!!! They are giving students the option to either interview in-person or virtual. I chose in-person for the experience. Very excited!! Also for reference, OOS, low mcat but high gpa. received interview same week I submitted II
I actually already interviewed but thanks for taking the time to reply. Congrats on the interview!You have the option for either. They are very understanding in their interview invite email and will allow you to choose the one you want
I have my interview this week, any current student or prospective students mind sharing what they like about ARCOM specifically?
Dean McClain right? You ever see his dogs on campus? Bernese are adorableOMS1 Here.
Med school is tough. Extremely tough. There's no way around it.
But the people at ARCOM are so dedicated. And students are extremely supportive. This dedication makes the inevitable suffering that much more bearable. I don't think many other DO schools has such an environment. Also, don't pick schools based purely on location. Location won't matter. You'll be studying 15+ hours a day anyways. We push though every day knowing that everyone - our CEO, Dean, Professors, and everyone here - EVERYONE is doing absolutely the best they can
Nothing yet for me.anyone get rejected yet?

Thank you! I will I submitted my secondary 8/16 but didn’t send technical standard until 8/19 and then 10 min after I sent it I got an interview inviteI am so excited for you!! Good luck, tell me how you like Fort Smith if you have time!
I was going to ask when you submitted your primary and secondary. I am still waiting for the secondary. But I know they don't give out a lot of secondaries.
Awesome! Congrats, Goodluck!!I actually already interviewed but thanks for taking the time to reply. Congrats on the interview!
For those who are doing virtual, it is pretty relaxed. I heard the in-person ones are the same.
