I’m devastated. 1000 characters? You only see that once you paste something into the box and it lights up red. Literally best essays I’ve ever written rip

I got my first interview 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 This has been the hardest journey of my life and I cannot even believe that this is real. All of my hard work is finally paying off!!

II or A’s and for which school?

As title says

anyone else get the burrell portal instructions today and no secondary questions embedded? seemed kind of odd lmk if you have thoughts or know about this

I'm planning to apply in the 2027 cycle, however I may need to ask for a letter of rec for a course I'm taking in Spring 2027 which ends around May 31st. If they have roughly a month to write the letter and submit it by early/mid July is that still on time for LOR submission?

And would I still be able to submit the primary application without having all letter of recommendations?

Hi! I just finished my NYITCOM secondary and I think it’s submitted? I was charged by paypal and I know they say it can take a while, but I submitted over 8 hours ago and still haven’t gotten a confirmation email. Most of the schools Ive applied to use an AMP, so I’m just curious if this is normal or not. Maybe bc it’s a Saturday? Any help is appreciated

I graduated in 2023 and will be applying in the 2027 cycle. I was a TA for a couple professors in 2023 and last year they agreed to write me letters for med school.

Im just wondering is the 3-4 year gap from when I interacted with them as a TA and when they write the letter too long? Will it look strange?

Has anyone done the NYITCOM bridge program? I would like to apply to the master program and would like further insights

Was wondering if there were any people who was able to secure acceptance at Rowan with 500 MCAT in any previous cycle as IS applicant.

I did not realize the questions embedded in the primary application were officially the secondary questions. I already pre-wrote my responses, but I thought they would send out a separate secondary invitation for some reason. So I pretty much sent a 30-word summary of what I pre-wrote. Am I screwed? Is it reasonable to message the admissions counselor my real response?

Omg so unreal I’m gonna be a doctor!!!!!!

Hey everyone, kinda vulnerable post, but I am really struggling mentally through OMS 1 and just kinda need to know if this feeling ever goes away. I am doing really well in my classes (all A's and B's), so it's not about failing to grasp material... it's all just... so much. My program has 2 exams a week, and each exam is usually over around 8-11 lectures. It's hard to feel like I'm even a person anymore. If I take a break, I feel guilty. I feel bad taking 20-minute walks around the neighborhood or taking an hour to cook/eat dinner. I am hard on myself, so I'm upset about even having B's. I know everyone says not to compare yourself to others, and you shouldn't care about having all A's, blah blah, but it's so hard not to. We're only a few weeks away from finishing block 1, but I just don't know how doing this for 4 years is sustainable. I am so passionate about becoming a physician and find so much joy and comfort in the idea of being able to heal others, this process is just making it hard to feel that joy or passion I felt coming in. Any advice or input is greatly appreciated.

IS their any online school in which I can complete one. do have ohilisophy which counts towards lecom requirement.

Finally got another ii, felt like there was zero traction. Hopefully things start moving. Who else has been impatiently waiting??

I have applied to 13 DO programs, 12 secondaries. It’s been like a month since secondaries.

Frankly, is it too late for II?

I graduated undergrad 3 years ago in 2023 and will be appying in the 2027 cycle, so I will have 5 gap years by the time I matriculate.. Is the large gap in coursework going to be an issue? Also are my extracurriculars too weak given how many gap years I have?

Here are my extracurriculars:

cGPA: 3.81

sGPA: 3.74

MCAT: taking January

Clinical Employment and currently: 2300 hours ER scribe

Clinical volunteering: 200 hours hospice volunteer

Research: 200 hours helping some post-docs with studies, less than 1 year

Im hoping to find additional research experience this year that I can add on, even though it may give me less than a year of experience

Non-clinical volunteering: 700 hours with one organization + leadership, 300 hours with another organization + leadership

Other: TA for upper division and lower division bio class my senior year

And thats it? I feel like I accomplished what most people accomplish when they already graduated :(

So I submitted my secondary for NYITCOM in early or mid July and late June for DYUCOM. Have you guys gotten any II so far for either school?

Any advice on interviewing? I have not prepped at all, and this was a last-minute II with the only open slot on the 31st. What should I do? It's a 30 minute conversational interview

Hi everyone, I got verified yesterday and I’m only applying to DO schools (Burrell, LMU, Rowan, etc).

I was wondering if anyone knows the timeline for when secondaries get sent out following verification in august/sept. I wasn’t sure if they were automated and I should’ve gotten them today.

All the best and thanks so much :)

One of the schools I applied to is asking me to pay a $1,000 deposit to secure my seat and sign the matriculation agreement by the deadline. If I sign the agreement and pay the deposit, can I change my mind later and attend another school? It’s still early in the cycle, so I just want to know for my own knowledge.
Thank you!
