Wow. I flopped that SO HARD. None of the questions I prepared were on it.....welp....no acceptance for me

Did you guys go to the optional Zoom? I am unfortunately working at that time but I am hoping it doesnt affect my chances. Also, how many days after the II did you guys record your interview?

I am def applying and currently filling out my secondary, but their mission is heavily based on religion. I grew up catholic but it is not a big part of me, and I am not a super religious person. In their prompt asking about what part of DUQCOM's mission fits w your application, it is ok to not mention religion at all?

So I finally got my physician LOR sent in to aacomas. I already turned in a bunch on secondaries, do i need to send update letters to those schools, or do they automatically get added?

For example, for NYIT, they never ask why DO. Unsure if I should throw in the word osteopathy in my secondaries. Rn, I didn't include it, but since it is an osteopathic school maybe I should?

I am shadowing a doctor mid June, and meeting w my advisor for my letter packet mid-June as well. I will be able to submit right after that (probably June 12th/13th). Or do I submit now, and send in my letter packet later and not worry about shadowing (i only have 16 shadowing hours which is why I am thinking of waiting). Unsure what to do. Also my letter packet meeting will be reviewing my application, so I am completely unsure what to do.

I have 4 letters stored on PrivateFolio (sister to interfolio i think, its what my undergrad uses). I am meeting w my premed advisor for my letter packet in beginning of june, and will submit my primary a few days later (by June 8th probs). How do I go about LORs? Do i send in the individual letters, or only the letter packet? Also, I am shadowing a physician in june and he said we would write me a letter. How do I add another letter post letter packet? Do i add it directly to amcas and aacomas, or do I request him on privatefolio and add it that way? And this will be seperate from the letter packet yeah? And how do i exactly send in the schools my new added letter, if I will have my primary already submitted? I am a non-trad w no guidance in applying so I am pretty lost ngl.

How do I add in hours? My one activity is popup clinics, where about 5 weekends out of the year I attend a clinic for like 22 hours in one weekend. Do I put # of wks as 5 and # of hours per week as 22, or average it out over the past year I have done them (like 52 wks and 2 hours per week)

Hi all,

I am applying to MD and DO bc of mid-stats and no research (gpa 3.9, mcat 508), and I am absolutely okay going DO. However, I do not have a physician LOR. Has anyone had DO success w o one? I have 3 academic and 1 RN.

How do u do this? there is only one slot for a contact.
