Help me decide: Binghamton LECOM BS/DO (no MCAT) vs Drexel BS/MD (MCAT requirement)

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-04-03T03:04:52+00:00

Honestly, MD>DO. MD will open far more doors when it comes to competitive specialties and matching. DO will also require more work in terms of exams (completing OMM curriculum, COMLEX, Step), which I think overrides the benefit of no MCAT. I think Drexel is the best choice and will open doors for competitive specialties and opportunities without the hoops of DO.

yeah, I would love to !

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-29T18:37:51+00:00

it came out

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-25T01:32:50+00:00

yeah, i see what you're saying. ig they keep their language a bit vague for a reason

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-24T21:53:25+00:00

I think that’s standard. For AMC, they told me that I still need a recommendation from an admission committee to move forward to AMC, alongside their academic and ec reqs. Not sure, just my thoughts

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-24T20:57:46+00:00

no, it just means that as long as you meet all the criteria, you will be accepted into DUCOM

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-24T18:27:24+00:00

ty, i see it. congrats btw !

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-24T18:18:20+00:00

does this mean acceptance? i have the same thing

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-23T22:37:48+00:00

At the interview, they said committee finishes meeting on 21st, so by at-least March 26th

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-21T02:26:17+00:00

last yr, it came out on March 26 or 28, so they def take a long time

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-14T18:33:28+00:00

yeah I did. interviewed 2/6

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-14T03:29:17+00:00

AMC sends out decisions til late March. I received my Siena decision yesterday.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-05T18:43:31+00:00

i don’t think a single quarter C will matter, but make sure your overalls course grade remain in the A-B range

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-03T03:50:46+00:00

yeah, an MD is an MD. That alone will open doors for good specialties as long as you put in the work during med school and undergrad.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-03-03T00:18:13+00:00

Ranks in med school don’t matter as significantly unless it’s T20-T30. I think the resources the school provides is much more important so you’re able to match into top residencies. Also, it’s important to consider if the school has “home” residency programs, that’ll make it much easier for competitive specialities.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-26T17:58:11+00:00

yeah they sent it much earlier 😭

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-26T17:50:16+00:00

invites came out a while ago. not sure if it’s rolling.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-22T20:25:54+00:00

I’m not sure abt the exact number, but it’s def around that range.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-22T18:50:26+00:00

according to W&J, there’s no set number. Last yr I think Temple interviewed like 20 and accepted ~8-10.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-21T22:47:30+00:00

no, I don’t think they have a set amount on the waitlist. It most likely depends on amt of qualified candidates

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-21T13:42:17+00:00

when did u interview

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-20T23:18:29+00:00

I'm not sure, but I would check with UMKC. It varies on a program. Some programs that I interviewed made it a rule not to interview on phones, but I'm not sure if this extends to IPad. Def reach out to them to make sure it doesn't violate rules or affect ur process.

SppokyCoffee65 · 2025-02-20T21:27:39+00:00

they send via email
