One last question. Where exactly do we register in the morning?
As you walk through the front entrance, you'll see it on the right. Someone will be at the front desk to direct you. Good luck to all tomorrow!
Here is what I sent to another applicant.Congrats to you all! my interview is tomorrow any last minute advice?
Here is what I sent to another applicant.
As far as interview tips go, the first one is know why you want to do osteopathic medicine. If you are applying as a fallback but don't know what sets a DO apart I'd say do a little bit of research. They WILL ask you why you want to do osteopathic medicine.
RELAX- i know that's easier said than done but your interviewers here are going to be your advocates in front of the admissions board. If they think you are a good fit for the school then they will argue for you so know who you are.
Be able to explain any weaknesses in your application. Low MCAT? why? Low GPA? Why? Did you start college with a party life and then get it together sophomore year? Excellent. It is more important that they see growth and ability to overcome adversity than you just cruising along your whole time. Don't give excuses for things but reasons.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD FIT- You may just not "feel it" at one school or another. That's ok. You want to spend the next 4 years somewhere you feel like you belong.
The interview process at ACOM is pretty laid back. You will spend the morning hearing from some faculty and administration then you will head upstairs for interviews. Your interviewer will come get you and you will go to their office and have a conversation with them and one other faculty at the same time. Usually it is one PhD and one DO in each room. Be real. Don't give them the answers you think they want to hear. I believe it is more beneficial to be genuine than to pretend, and the professors will be able to tell the difference.
After the interview you will take a tour of the school followed by a lunch with some of us current students. This is the time to ask things you wouldn't ask with faculty or admins around. After lunch you go back for a few more sessions about the school and financial aid, etc. then your day is over.
Good luck tomorrow
yes it was good luck to youInterviewed today, and it was awesome! Great experience here
Interviewed 3/13, ACCEPTED today!
when did you receive the ii?Anyone else here interview next Friday 3/27??
Hello all! I just have a few questions about Fall 2015. Does anyone know what the dates for student orientation will be for the Class of 2019 and when the first day of classes are? Also, can anyone give some insight about what the class schedule is usually like for the first semester?
This is the info that was posted on the FB group of the Class of 2019:
Orientation: July 22-24, 2015
Fall Term: July 27 - Dec 13, 2015
Spring Term: Jan 4 - May 29, 2016
The person only asked about the MCAT and not about both. If you don't have either a 26 MCAT or 3.3 GPA, you are put into the second tier pre-interview. These people are not usually given an interview unless their is an update in the grades or MCAT that will put them over in either category. I know this because I am extremely close in both and have not gotten an interview in months. They told me this is the reason over the phone. All schools have threshold stats that they want before an interview. The "looking at the whole individual" truly applies once the interview is given.
is that GPA for overall or science?
Thank you!!Lecture starts at 8am - 12pm. After that, it varies, sometimes you have Anatomy lab, OMM lab, Clinical skills lab.
Interviewed Friday, Accepted today!
Anyone else here interview next Friday 3/27??

Accepted today! Had a little dance in the middle of the street.
Interviewed 3/13, ACCEPTED today!
also accepted today and interviewed last Friday! they said maybe 2 weeks to hear back so getting accepted after one week is awesome! Good news for you guys waiting to interview since that means there is actual seats still, and they are not just wait-listing everyone.
Also, has anyone updated the "interview feedback" section lately?
is the class full?
Interviewed and waitlisted in September! Sent an update letter Sunday and got off the wait list today!!!!!!
No, they will not. I was told this by an admissions committee member at CESCOM.Does anyone know if M.D. schools receive a notification when you accept a spot at a D.O. school?
No, they will not. I was told this by an admissions committee member at CESCOM.
I may be wrong, but that's what he told me. He's been in the game for a looooong time.
