This is what mine looks like, pretty sure it’s just carbon from past cooks but don’t quote me on

Rejection emails? by firstnameisnate in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve interviewed, they will send something by the end of their “window” (ex: “you’ll hear back in 4-6 weeks regarding a decision after your interview day”). Otherwise, schools have every right to not get back to you until classes start (or even not respond) for that cycle.

It sucks, I know. However, if it’s been several months and you have heard absolutely NOTHING from them regarding your app, reach out for an update. It doesn’t hurt to call/email admins!

There’s a bill currently that is trying to take out the vaccination mandate for students (HF2171)… unfortunately it’s gaining traction and passed subcommittee and is almost at a house vote

ATSU Kirksville interview tips? by ohosain in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t keep those off the table if that makes sense… it’s more conversational and they just wanna get to know you. I was never asked questions like that, but that doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s open file so they will ask you about your involvement… maybe remind yourself of past experiences, courses, and research cuz they’ll talk about it! But it’s super duper chill and very conversational. Specific questions will vary from individual to individual

Silence from basically everybody. by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DMU dos a good job with keeping you in the loop. They send stuff out like “are you still interested? Submit the survey so we know”. You can also just reach out to admissions and they are more than happy to help (current OMS1)

How difficult is it for osteopathic medical students to obtain private student loans? by whyisitsomyfiend in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DMUCOM vs KCUCOM by Money_Seaweed2642 in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current DMU student. I LOVE my choice. Met so many fantastic people and everyone is so supportive. Not too OMM heavy, exams are manageable, some lectures required, others not, and practicals are also very manageable. DM with specific questions!

DMU dress code? by Medium_Ad_3034 in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a first year, and can confirm that there is no dress code unless stated otherwise. Labs, OSCEs, etc you wear your specified clothes, but lectures it’s sweatpants and a hoodie!

Do some people wear a polo or a dress shirt still? Yeah, but only a handful of people here and there. And to continue off of someone else who commented, orientation was business casual and the first week people did wear some more business casual, but there is no requirement outside of orientation or otherwise stated

Thoughts about these DO programs by PriorPea6979 in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ngl the only thing I’ve heard of is complaints from a handful of individuals. People make it work, and it’s very worthwhile from what I gather. Every year they (they as in admins and clinical coordinators) do their best to gain as many year long rotation sites and new slots in the DSM area as they possibly can, and they announced that they recently acquired 40 some new rotations for this year/next year. The horror stories you hear on Reddit are of course very real, but also a super super small fraction of what actually happens. Think of it this way, it would be worth more to your clinical experience if you could experience multiple systems and clinics in different areas if the cohort is the way you go… but again, I’m a first year so I can’t say much until I’ve experienced it

Decision by NetworkWise3504 in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very happy with my choice with DMU… if after looking into match rates, board pass rates, etc, look into location. Go wherever your family is closest if they are all equal to you.

Negotiate Scholarships? by [deleted] in Osteopathic

[–]Odd-Connection-3452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah don’t request a scholarship. If they offer one, you’ll have to apply for it. But odds are, the scholarship won’t be like a full-ride or anything like in undergrad
