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!

Summary of Experience:
No secondary given. Withdrew my application.
Summary of Experience:
No communication at all from this school. Its advertised as Canadian friendly, but I wouldn\'t recommend Canadians applying here.
Summary of Experience:
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:
I really like this school but couldn\'t justify going to the interview after MSU acceptance. I would have went if I had the interview early september.
Summary of Experience:
Not expecting this since I was complete in august. I would have went if I was invited back in september/october. It was in my top 5.
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.
