M1 student here. Congrats for those who got in!+1 on the same day! sorry for the late post
They typically turn around interview --> decision within 4 weeks. I think secondary --> interview is much more variable thoughAre people hearing back from this school or???

M1 student here. Congrats for those who got in!
We just completed our FIRST block (very hectic one). My feedback so far
* Be ready for some rigorous testing (some times 3 on same day). Some times a 7:30AM testing. Weekly testing for OMM. This is one of the original DO schools so they take pride on OMM. They even have the "Chicago" technique on few. (You can google)
* You will have classes on the days of exams too
* Professors are very caring. Nice environment. All students are supportive of one another.
Cadaver labs are fun.
* You will hardly have any free time for anything. This is likely true for any school.
I heard about 20 students dropped out (M1) due to academic reasons (remember this is a rigorous program). Attendance is not mandatory but finding time to watch the missed class is also not easy.
You will hear that the first block is the "weed out" period from couple of professors (in a good way).
Good luck for those who got the IIs.
20 M1s dropping out is WILDBig yikes to openly “weeding” students out. Was getting in not enough proof we can a handle rigorous academic curriculum?
I'd choose the one that isn't 82k, personallyBetween this school and NYITCOM which would people choose?
20 M1s dropping out is WILD
I'd like to know this as well! and are the exams each week really full exams that take hours worth of time or is it shorter quizzes?Incoming first year here! Can any current or former CCOM student tell me how they managed to have any time for themselves or what their school and study schedule looked like? I saw a schedule from 2017 for the ms1 and ms2 winter quarters and I feel as if I would always be either studying or going to class. I also feel as if there’s no free time for anyone on the weekends as CCOM consistently has 2-3 exams per week and several quizzes. I’d like to think that im a very studious person but I also value my mental health more now. Thanks in advance!
Hi! Current M1. I’d say the testing schedule here is a little too much, can be intense at times. Despite that though I definitely have free time. Most of M1 year we have Fridays off for “studying”, clinic time, whatever you want basically. I use this as my catch up day and don’t study Friday night or Saturdays. This is my preference and I’m also not the gunner type of person. I think valuing mental health is super important and it’s something as a class we have been more outspoken about! We got some tests and quizzes moved this quarter to “better” our schedule, which I thought was nice of them to move for us. The weekly OMM quizzes are annoying ( everyone hates them) but there’s nothing they can do about it ( I guess). There is good and bad, but overall I feel like I’m learning a lot and in a positive environment to do so. Yes the school definitely needs work when it comes to listening to students, but I think they are making head way. We started focus groups with admin to talk/discuss changes. I feel like my class has been super outspoken and we have changed some things. Feel free to DM me for any more questions!Incoming first year here!

Not sure where this information came from but we definitely did not have 20 people drop out. I know of two at most and one is taking a temporary leave of absence. We still have 200 signed up for our winter quarter!20 M1s dropping out is WILD

A stethoscope will be provided during orientation! You can buy scrubs, highly recommend two-four pairs because you wear them twice a week for OMM and clinical skills lab. The color for your class is Navy Blue! You have to buy scrubs in that color FYI for the mandatory class stuff.What supplies should we start getting? Are scrubs and a stethoscope provided/necessary?

A friend of mine did this all the way until march and got in. Try aligning it as an update if you canDoes anyone know they accept letters of continued interest?
