Not really a surprise. Was complete Late June and didn't hear anything. I knew it would be harder to get an interview here than AZCOM. Overall, very happy I didn't retake the MCAT for 1-2 points. Also, would not go to this school over MSU.

Summary of Experience:
Day was very well organized and jam packed with activities. Interviewers made the experience very comfortable. It's the only interview I attended once I received the MSU acceptance. I like the organization of the curriculum. I was kind of surprised to get the rejection, but I don't think I would have chose this school over MSU.

Summary of Application Experience
Very happy with the out come of this cycle. I applied last cycle late and was limited. I was wait listed at TouroCOM-NY and AZCOM. Reapplied early with a much better outcome. I contemplated retaking the MCAT because I know I could do better with more content review and practice questions, but I work full time and it would not be possible to put in the required time I would want to. Therefore, I decided to improve my EC's. I increased my exposure to the DO profession by taking CME and shadowing. I attended the MOAFP summer meeting and met a lot of MSU alumni. Also, I learned that because I have a DDS degree I am able to take DO CME courses through MSU. I will be taking Intro to Manual Medicine this December!
