2023-2024 A.T. Still University (Mesa, Arizona) ATSU-SOMA

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I just received an invitation for an in person interview. I have already paid my deposit at PNW and RVU Utah. And words of advice? I have no ties to any of these areas.
Do you mind sharing your stats? still waiting to hear from PNW

Withdrew my interview here as they mentioned (very nicely) that they are currently only interviewing for waitlist positions.

Lol, just saw this in my inbox: OOS II, but I'm almost an M2. Applied last minuted last year before getting accepted from my current school. Couldn't get a refund from AACOMAS so I just left it as is.

If anyone needs: primary submitted end of May/early June, secondary submitted a day after released.

my interview invite email didn’t mention anything about them only interviewing for waitlist rn so i’m debating if it’s worth it to fly all the way out for it if it really is just for the waitlist.

II today, will be declining. They said in a separate email that the class is filled and they're only interviewing for a WL

If this is one of the few opportunities for an A, I would still go for it. I was accepted off the alternate waitlist 10 days before orientation!

refer to my previous comment, could be worth it but it depends on your situation
 
Got the II today, but with the extra email saying it was for a position on the waitlist. I was hoping they still did video interviews. 😅
 
At this point mid April, are there anymore interview invites to any of the DO schools for a real spot?

Has anyone who interviewed 4/8 heard anything??
I interviewed 4/8 and am still waiting to hear back too! I emailed them on Thursday and they said they met with the committee that week and were waiting on final decisions from the dean. Hopefully we'll hear back soon!

Does anyone know if ATSU SOMA has mandatory lecture attendance??
Yes, they have mandatory problem-based learning (PBL) sessions 5 days a week at 8 am. I think its a couple hours long. There are no traditional lectures though. From my understanding, their attendance policy is pretty strict. I think you are allowed up to 3 unexcused absences for the year, and after that, each absence removes 2% from your overall grade.
