You can submit but they won't start the verification process until you have all your transcripts in.
What is the appropriate response tot he question regarding parental education level if neither had a high school degree? Is it no answer?
Can someone please tell me how to find my verified AACOMAS gpas? Previous threads have said the only way I can see it is by looking at the pdf that schools have received but I have no idea how to do this. I was verified last Saturday and have already received a lot of secondaries so I know my app has been released.
Will the PDF show up next to the school?It's also possible for your app to be released to schools before the release date/pdf shows up on your end. If you don't see release dates yet, just check back in a few days!
Yes. It will be really obvious. Mine didn't show up until the Thursday evening after the Tuesday it was transmitted. You will probably see it today or tomorrow.Will the PDF show up next to the school?
Thanks for the response!

Well, first of all, you're not late. DO cycle runs much longer than MD. Late is November or later.Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on applying to about 10-12 osteopathic schools right now.
My Stats:
GPA
Cumulative GPA - 3.61
Science GPA - 3.51
Non-science GPA - 3.76
-I had one C in Gen Chem II freshman year, and 1 C in Neurphysiology in my final semester of senior year.
MCAT - Highest 30; I have taken it 5x times total (I know not the best trend. I'm sure med schools are not gonna look favorably on this. However I did have an upward trend. I really struggled with learning how to take/study for the MCAT)
LORS - I have about 5 LOR's - 2 from physicians (1 MD, 1 DO) I have worked with, 3 professors, and 1 from a PhD I researched with
Work Experience - Office Aide for 2 years. Pharmacy Clerk/Pharmacy Tech-in-training for 9 months; PhysAssist Scribe/Scribe Trainer for almost 1.5 years
Research - 1 summer at Baylor ; 6 months at my university (I didn't get published)
Extracurriculars - I've had various activities with different clubs, and such. I've held 1 leadership position in a club.
Volunteer - Various with different organizations. Nothing too consistent. However for past few months I have been consistent working atFood Bank
Internship - 1 month long (200 hours) of interning at hospital in cardiac outpatient floor.
Sorry for the really long paragraph above, I'm just trying to get a good idea of where I stand. I plan on having my application in within 1 week exactly. 2/3 of my transcripts have already been received.
I know I'm somewhat late on the cycle, but where do you guys think I stand in terms of getting accepted??!!
Well, first of all, you're not late. DO cycle runs much longer than MD. Late is November or later.
Secondly, you obviously have great stats for DO. MCATs of 26+ are generally considered competitive. I wouldn't worry about it. I applied with lower stats with a much later application and got accepted. You'll be fine.
I'm going to SOMA in 2015. i deferred my acceptanceIf you don't mind, what school did you end up going to? I'm not very familiar with a lot of the DO schools, so I'm curious what schools other students got into and what they think of them
Don't worry just yet. I submitted 6/26 and it still took me over a month to get verified. You should follow the verification thread. I think right now, you are looking at to be verified end of August or early sept.I submitted my application July 31st and it is still process. Should I begin to worry ?
I was told to put exactly what appears on your transcript that you willing be sending to AACOMAS.I am still a bit confused. I have both fall and spring semester left before starting med school, I have all the Pre-req done already. Do I include classes that I plan on taking to finish up my degree for both the fall and spring semester or only the ones for the fall that I am currently registered for. Also since I plan on dropping one of the classes that I am for the fall (not allowed till the 28th) should I just not list it...but my transcript that I plan on getting sent soon will still have it on there and I don't want to get screwed with verification timing.
Thanks Guys
LORs are usually sent in with secondary apps. When school receive your primary, they will review it and send you a secondary invite after. They ask you to send in LOR at that time.So I submitted my primary app today, but now I am a bit concerned about my recommendation file. My university says it takes 3-4 weeks once everything for my credential file is submitted to finish my Recommendation file and be ready to sent out, what do these schools do with my primary app if my LOR are not there on time. Also how do I know when to send my LOR to the schools, once my app is verified?
It will take more than 30+ days to get verified after you submit to aacomas. After that, it will say " released to schools".I submitted my primary to AACOMAS a few days ago and it still says "Submitted to AACOMAS" but hasn't changed to "Released." Is there usually this long of a delay? I'm getting kind of worried.

I'm already verified. I was just waiting for MCATs to designate more schools that I wanted to submit my application to.

Not late at allHey guys, going to submit tomorrow after a review. How late am I to the party? Had my app done last week but have been sitting on it for too long. Wanted to rewrite the PS but don't think it'll be worth the time. Going to use the same one I used for AMCAS but modified so its shorter. Didn't mention osteopathic medicine but planning on mentioning it in my secondaries. My top osteo schools are DMU and PCOM.
It's hard to know without knowing what your score actually is. They probably won't send you an secondaries/ii until the new score is in (depending on what your score is.)I asked this question once before and did not get a response. Just gonna try again in case anyone knows. I am currently waiting for my application to be verified. I have a June 2014 MCAT score on the application. It was not good! So I plan to retake the test in January. I added the second planned date.
My question is... will med schools not consider me for admission until they see the second MCAT score? Should I just mention studying again for the mcat on my secondaries (if I am lucky enough to get some)?
Any help would be appreciated
Haha exactly!!!I don't understand this process. I'm getting interviews at schools where I barely put effort into the secondary and I'm still waiting on places where I put my blood, sweat and tears into the secondary. It's so frustrating.
I submitted on 8/14 and I still have not been reviewed. Can you guys tell me how long your primary app took to be reviewed? Thanks. Much appreciated.
