Summary of Application Experience
Non-traditional career changer with an unrelated master's degree. 3.0 undergrad GPA with dual major meant GPA improvement was limited even with solid grades in informal post-bacc courses. Took courses at both 4 year and community colleges. Applied very broadly, but knew DO programs were my most likely bet.

Summary of Experience:
Did not meet some of their LOR/pre-req requirements. Did not complete secondary.
Summary of Experience:
Got to the part in the secondary with the non-resident student contract requiring repayment of tuition if I chose not to practice in Ohio following residency. Did not complete the secondary.
Summary of Experience:
Went through a lot of trouble as a non-traditional student to get quality letters of recommendation. PCOM would not accept two of the required letters because they were not on official letterhead (despite confidential submission via interfolio). Withdrew application.
Summary of Experience:
UNECOM was my top DO school headed into the cycle, but it would have been a major move for my family. When I got the interview invite in January, I had been accepted at LECOM for 3.5 months and just couldn't justify the relocation.
Summary of Experience:
Interviewed in Mid-September. Had a great group of applicants in the group interview and the experience went much better than expected. Opted for early decision and received acceptance by mail on 10/5. Will be attending LECOM Erie.
