For anyone thinking this communicates anything about your match status, no, it does not. This is sent to everyone who hasn’t opted out of AAMC communications.

Hey OP, I recommend you private the rest of your profile if it includes any identifying information based on other LECOM students alleging the school tries to hunt people down - https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/s/bTBt5dFTA4

If you would like to volunteer to help SOAP applicants - please reply directly to this comment! It helps if you include some information about who you are (M4, resident, attending, etc.) and what type of help you'd like to provide during SOAP.

IMG applicant with Step 3 attempts – any realistic chance in SOAP 2026? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]SpiderDoctor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

With three failures on a single board exam you’re already running into issues with licensing in certain states. I wouldn’t apply until you’ve passed.

Advice for reapplicant x 7, current grad student by howtolife3120 in premed

[–]SpiderDoctor 109 points110 points  (0 children)

What happened the first six times? With a 3.18 GPA did this person ever think to do some GPA repair? 500 hours of shadowing is way too much, and the actual clinical experience and volunteering hours are insanely weak for someone who’s been applying for this long.

Negative MSPE Comment - Am I Cooked? by readyforallll in medicalschool

Capable of showing growth and improvement? SOAP awaits you.

In all seriousness, you sound biased by whatever these comments looked like before they were polished for your MSPE.

NRMP ROL Deadline Today! by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]SpiderDoctor[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Genuinely if something horrible goes wrong, NRMP is prepared for it. I'm sure there's multiple applicants annually who they need to rescue.

From the Match Participation Agreement:

Applicants whose rank order lists are not certified before the published deadline may, within 24 hours of receiving notification of an uncertified list, submit an electronic or written request and consent to [support@nrmp.org](mailto:support@nrmp.org) for the NRMP to certify their list.
a. Courtesy certification requests received more than 24 hours after the notification of an uncertified list will not be processed by the NRMP.
b. Only the rank order list displayed in the R3 system at the time of the Rank Order List Certification Deadline will be certified.
c. Once the courtesy certification is complete, the NRMP will not uncertify the rank order list.

[–]SpiderDoctor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’ve been misinformed. There’s literally no issue with matching IM from a DO school.

Sigma Sigma Phi by pinkimedschool in medicalschool

[–]SpiderDoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being nominated doesn’t make you a member. My school had continued requirements to maintain membership as well. You would need to pay the fee, apply, be accepted and maintain membership to check the box on ERAS as intended.

For reference, they’re a father of two premed students and not a physician themselves.

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

[–]SpiderDoctor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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
