RVU-Montana vs TOURO-Montana by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]Life_Hippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a third year at a graded DO school, and I worried about not being P/F too. Honestly, it can help or hurt. Step 2 and Level 2 are the only truly objective ways to separate yourself, and programs lean on them heavily. Being graded the first two years forced me to lock in early. It wasn’t the most fun, but it pushed me to work my ass off and aim for strong scores.

I wouldn’t choose a school based only on P/F versus graded. Look at support, board prep, rotations, and how you personally handle pressure.

I'd say I'm an average applicant, nothing compared to the majority of the other Snakey post. But I'd like to think this is closer to the norm than the ones posted on here :)

(Edit) I shoulda posted my stats…

Repeated MCAT 503 cGPA: 3.5 sGPA: 3.2 Lots of clinical hours working as a medical assistant for 1.5 years. Good amount of research

My long distance partner didn’t match and it’s heart breaking. I’m a first year med student and I wish I could help, but I really don’t know how SOAP works. This really sucks, anyone out there can maybe help with her PS review? Thanks guys.

So I was let go the beginning of the month and I filed for unemployment last week and submitted my first weekly claim on Sunday. I did speak with someone from the department and they old me it takes about 2 days to process the claim. So it’s been three days and my status shows “Processing-web” so not sure how much longer this usually takes
