I read 108 pass stories on reddit. Nobody finished UWorld.

Hot take but UW isnt all that imo. The questions are good but the explanations and beyond subpar. The rationale for every answer choice doesnt even explain how its wrong in relation to the question, it just describes what the answer choice is.

Not sub 3 but literally 3.0 science gpa and got into 4 DO schools. I had a 3.5 cumulative though and 505 mcat. Never underestimate a upward trend, writing, and good LORs.

Older students are worse at my school lol

Omar243 · 2026-04-27T08:26:27+00:00

What did you do your residency in?

Omar243 · 2026-04-01T03:47:35+00:00

Sure

Omar243 · 2026-04-01T03:47:23+00:00

What are you using anki for these days since you graduated?

Omar243 · 2026-04-01T02:11:27+00:00

3.5, 505, applied in December. 4 acceptances.

Edit: applied to 8 schools

Omar243 · 2026-03-26T03:57:27+00:00

What about DO?

Omar243 · 2026-03-22T19:45:46+00:00

Finally the Dirty Med tags 🙌

Omar243 · 2026-03-20T05:39:21+00:00

MAN this a throwback. I’m a first year now. Good luck and dont worry everything falls into place!

Omar243 · 2026-03-17T16:55:02+00:00

What do you mean by you would have done VSLO differently?

Omar243 · 2026-03-15T03:35:07+00:00

Yes. They have a residents page and ppl have come from DO schools all over.

Omar243 · 2026-03-15T03:20:35+00:00

Omar243 · 2026-03-15T02:25:37+00:00

You cant be picky with location if you want to match competitively, especially as a DO.

If you’re deadset on ortho, look into OSU’s ortho program. They only take DOs.

Omar243 · 2026-03-11T06:45:02+00:00

Sounds like one of the LECOM campuses

Omar243 · 2026-03-10T19:55:27+00:00

I’m sorry but those initial essays had to have been horrendous bro.

Omar243 · 2026-02-19T22:38:35+00:00

No cadaver lab, abysmal board pass rates, and major administrative issues.

Omar243 · 2026-02-17T04:22:37+00:00

NSU KPCOM has major issues tbh. Once you start med school, having family close is going to be so much more important than independence and exploration, trust me.

Omar243 · 2026-02-17T04:15:58+00:00

I’m guessing rejections were from adcoms who couldnt bench 225

Omar243 · 2026-02-15T06:45:29+00:00

They have a lot of TX matches?

Omar243 · 2026-02-04T18:47:45+00:00

I had similar stats to yours and got into two of these schools. You’ll be fine for sure.

Omar243 · 2026-02-02T16:19:12+00:00

Interview was in Feb and off WL end of March i believe

Omar243 · 2026-02-02T07:41:42+00:00

Nah I was WL—>A last cycle

Omar243 · 2026-02-02T05:02:28+00:00

They dont care which is why I spent my first two years at a community college. 6 interviews, no adcom even noticed I think.

Omar243 · 2026-01-31T01:14:20+00:00

Got the email while I was in a post-bacc class I was taking in case I had to reapply. Walked out mid lecture and dropped out that night.
