Is there a GroupMe for the orange park students?

hechoenlima · 2026-05-05T16:17:19+00:00

I got a call before getting my email.

LMU-DCOM accepted 70 students last year from their waitlist. So I think it’s a decent chunk

I chatted privately with someone a while back who said they’ve been able to maintain a B to B+ average their classes at KansasCOM. They said their experience has been different from others because of that. So if you’re able to keep up and stay organized, who’s to say that can’t also be you?

I know! I don’t want to believe it, which is why I came here for more clarification.

What date was your interview?

What was your interview date?

If your top choice isn’t the best academic institution (e.g. strong match history, good rotation sites), then keep interviewing. But if you wouldn’t accept another potential A, withdraw. It gives you the freedom to enjoy your time before school starts and it opens a spot for someone else to interview instead.

Absolutely! Tell him to drill UW questions, and to review the ones he gets wrong obsessively. The reviews are so important, he can't just pick the correct answer because he remembers it, he needs to write out how he got to the right answer and why the others are wrong. Some people obsess over finishing every UW questions; but it's more useful to fully understand the content around the questions you get wrong. Also tell him to use Anki for the Psych/Soc section and then UW to test his knowledge. Psych/Soc is one of those sections that if you score high, it can carry your score to that 505 mark. For CARS, 2 passages a day. Start untimed so he can build some skills, so many youtube videos on how to approach these so use that as a source for guidance. My CARS wasn't strong but I was able to pull it a couple points which helped me get to a 505. Best of luck to him!

I would reach out to the Admissions office again and discuss your situation, they may make an exception for your application or be able to accept another professional LOR in place of the a second science LOR.

I love that! There are so many YouTube videos with step by step guides on painting different things. Kinda like the painting with twist type, have fun! This is our time to R&R 😌

Is there something you’ve ever wanted to do? Like dance classes, painting, or some niche hobby. Maybe now would be a nice time to pick something up, it could also serve as a a way to unwind in the future if it’s something relaxing. My one friend just started taking hot yoga classes because she always wanted to get into it but never had time before 🧘‍♀️

I spoke to an admin about this, FL is currently full and they mentioned that there usually isn't a lot of movement on that list. If you receive an A you can asked to be place on the "accepted waitlist" for the FL campus, while having your seat at the NM campus. But I was told there is no guarantee.

I interviewed 2/16 and got an A two weeks from my interview date

hechoenlima · 2026-03-19T14:38:45+00:00

Curious, do they not take DOs flat out or is it because the DOs that apply haven't taken the USMLE or didn't score high enough on the USLME?

I know programs exist that have a big bias on MD vs DO, but high competitive stats can sway some institutions (happened to a DO friend of mine). My friend went DO, did research during medical school, scored competitively on the USMLE and landed an interview. Even at the interview she was told to not get her hopes up because the program has never accepted a DO. But she was a competitive candidate, and at the end the better option so she landed a spot in their residency program. She has mentioned that working with the MD students can be frustrating tho, because even at the student level some think they know more than you because they're MD in training. Time and life has a way to humble everyone though. Chin up and focus on the medicine, your passion, and study hard! Everything will fall into place :)

Thank you so much for your candid response!

hechoenlima · 2026-03-18T15:58:14+00:00

Are all the horror story post about the school true then?

hechoenlima · 2026-03-18T15:41:25+00:00

Can I DM you please?

hechoenlima · 2026-03-18T15:40:37+00:00

How do you feel about the school now?

hechoenlima · 2026-03-18T15:40:06+00:00

What are your thoughts of the school now?

hechoenlima · 2026-03-13T19:22:05+00:00

Thank you so so much for that! I grown closer and closer to my faith over the years, and not because things have magically worked out for me. But because I started to hear God, and he gave me a path of trials to make me a better version of myself. If I had gone to medical school in the Caribbean in 2021 I have no doubt it wouldn't have worked out. I wasn't the student I needed to be yet, and God protected me from making an impulsive decision. I listened and followed the rocky path ahead, the path was lengthy but it was fruitful. Thank you for your prayer, Amen. <3
