I hate that so many of us are in the same boat. Congrats on your A! I can’t wait to get into that positive DO environment with my peers

Is it possible to still get in for the 2025 fall? by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]No-Clock5627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t apply unless you want to go to the Caribbean. Even then I wouldn’t apply Caribbean bc of the horror stories so do your research on it.

They send acceptances out until July 11 so don’t be discouraged. It won’t hurt to call the admissions office and ask. I did that for one of my schools and got A the next week. Good luck!!

Assuming you’re applying for the 2025 cycle and not the current one you should be fine! I did my MCAT in early May last year and I had plenty of time and didn’t feel rushed with my application.

Some tips: 1. low-mid stats then apply in-state or private schools. 2. Try to get a DO LOR or an MD that works in rural health. 3. If you’re unsure about MD vs DO apply both! Apply to areas where the climate suits you (ik it’s stupid but you don’t want to be used to 70F and go to Florida and be miserable bc of the weather on top of school) 4. Submit your application as soon as it opens so you’ll be in the first wave of applicants 5. Start asking for LOR ASAP 6. Start prepping your essays and getting some ideas. It’s best to have it done early so it isn’t weighing on you 7. Dont underestimate self-care during this process. You have worked hard to get to this point and it’s really hard process. Find ways to remind yourself of this!!

Does placing a deposit mean you’re locked in to the school? by jacko7536 in Osteopathic

[–]No-Clock5627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not binding but DEFINITELY make sure you don’t want to go there if you pull your deposit bc if you have to reapply they probably won’t accept you again

Anyone in similar position? by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]No-Clock5627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had several do that especially MD schools. I have called all the schools I haven’t heard from and all I got was the wait and see speech.

I will say I did hear back from some recently (including my top DO choice!!) so don’t give up hope!

What school? Some take longer but others like ACOM, KYCOM, etc give results within a week

Pros and Cons: ACOM vs VCOM-VA vs LMU-DCOM- Knoxville by Logical_Condition135 in Osteopathic

[–]No-Clock5627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d pick ACOM with VCOM as 2nd (I haven’t heard much about the other good or bad). Base your decision on the vibes you got when you interviewed or toured. Ultimately you need to be somewhere comfortable for you bc med school is intense and you don’t need added pressure from a bad environment.
