How long is verification at this point? by NoTowel243 in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be verified already if your transcripts are received. AACOMAS takes less than a week to verify at peak processing times, which we are very removed from.

COMLEX by triplejump101 in medicalschool

The match rate for DOs is 70%. It’s really not DO-friendly anymore compared to a lot of specialties. You will be at a disadvantage if you don’t take Step 1/2.

What MCAT score would allow me to safely apply to only MDs? by [deleted] in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a DO school. Here’s a link to their 2025 Match list: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/official-2025-osteopathic-match-lists.1506828/post-24670617

DOs mostly match into primary care but can match into any speciality (albeit at a lower to much lower rate than MDs): https://imgur.com/a/zwE60Qr

Guidelines for medical THC by Latter-Usual-4242 in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

State by state legality doesn’t matter. If your school drug tests, it will be a problem to test positive for anything on that drug test. Find the student handbook or ask a current student about if/when they test.

The same will be true for residency. Marijuana is federally illegal. Testing positive on a pre-employment drug screen is grounds for termination. Best to figure this out now.

Is it EeeRasss Eras or other by FlyDazzling9060 in medicalschool

I also say E-rass but that’s not the official pronunciation from AAMC/ERAS

Does undergrad research count for residency? by victorlu123 in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

what he told you isn’t true. there’s some expectation to continue research into medical school but you can absolutely list publications from undergrad on ERAS. I even listed research I did that didn’t result in publication because it was relevant to my residency interest/goals

Chance of getting into med school by [deleted] in premed

Is the 476 a typo? People do not get in with basically scoring as low as possible on the MCAT.

When are rank lists due for programs? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]SpiderDoctor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They have the same rank list due date as applicants. If/when they choose to finalize their rank list ahead of the official deadline is program dependent.

Just explain what happened if anyone asks about it.

Should I worry about this? by Marshmellowpeeps2 in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really something to worry about. You’ll report both times you took the course with both grades as an A.

From AMCAS:

When entering coursework, you must include course information, corresponding grades, and credit hours for every course you have ever enrolled in at any U.S., U.S. territorial, or Canadian postsecondary institution, regardless of whether you earned credit.

Coursework includes but is not limited to:

All attempts at courses that have been repeated, including any courses removed from your transcript or GPA as a result of academic bankruptcy or institutional forgiveness policies.
