How did everyone get shadowing. Every podiatrist near me wont let me shadow due to covid
If you haven't looked over past interview questions I'd check Dexter's link in the first post on this thread they are a huge help. Other than that you're solid. Kent State is usually one of the most laid back interviews but they may ask about grades/mcat or why did you switch if you were pursuing a different profession before podiatry a little harder than the overall interview which may catch you off guard. You can also practice mock interviews with friends/family using those questions if you feel you get nervous easily during interviews. Good luck you'll do fine!Hi guys, I have an interview coming up soon. Does anyone have tips that I should go over before interview? I’ve been reading about the school and going over my application in case they ask about my grades etc. anything else I should do before then?
I interviewed on Wednesday and was accepted yesterday. Interviewed with Carla and Dr. Petrozzi.Hi guys, I have an interview coming up soon.

Before you do anything I highly suggest you shadow a few DPM's to truly understand what you're getting into.I very recently learned about the field of Podiatric Medicine, I thought podiatry was a speciality that MDs/DOs went into as a specialty, which I now know is incorrect. I am looking to apply to now and for possible acceptance for the August 2021 class, but would it be too late, considering I don't have actual experience working with a DPM? I assume I have no chance of getting in without experience.
I agree with ballislife.Before you do anything I highly suggest you shadow a few DPM's to truly understand what you're getting into.
This isn't an MD/DO, you are locked into foot and ankle from day one and can't change. Make sure this is exactly what you want to do and would be okay doing for the rest of your life.
That being said it is not too late. What are your stats like? If you're competitive for programs try to get some shadowing done as soon as possible and apply afterwards. Most programs will still interview you without a letter of recommendation but experience with DPM's is necessary. They will also most likely require a letter of rec from a DPM before starting in August 2021.
I would call around local podiatrist offices near you in order to get shadowing. Also you can find some through this link:

Good luck!
My guess would be that they may waive the LOR requirement considering the current circumstances but do not hold me to that...however no, you probably still have some time before schools start interviewing solely for waitlist spots.Before you do anything I highly suggest you shadow a few DPM's to truly understand what you're getting into.

The virtual student panel for me was the day before the actual interview date. I received the email invite for the panel a few days prior to the date.Hi guys,
In my interview invite, they said they would connect me to a student panel. I was wondering how many days prior to the interview they normally send out the virtual student panel?
Thank you for all your help. Really appreciate it!
Premeds/prepods don't understand this until they get their ass kicked 1st semester.I say this not to scare you guys but as a reality / word of wisdom.
Podiatry school may be easier to get into but you will be working your ass off to STAY in.

Hello guys,
When will the school tell you the exact time of the interview?
Same. How long was your interview? Did they say they will get back to you next week?Finished the interview today, I felt like I did okay. How did you guys feel right after the interview?
The interview was about 20 minutes long. They said they will let me know either tomorrow or first week of January on the decisionSame. How long was your interview? Did they say they will get back to you next week?
A five day turnaround for interview decisions? That's pretty nice. There are a lot of MD/DO applicants not hearing back for months.

Been awhile since I have posted on here. Things just keep changing for me. The Army keeps jerking me around and screwing me over but thats a longer story for a different time. In short, I will be going to Kent starting this fall and graduating in 2026. Again, it is a long story as to why it will take me 5 years, and the military has to do with that. I talked to countless people at Kent and was (somewhat) assured that when it comes to residency interviews, they will see that I had to take 5 years because of service obligation to the military and (probably) be understanding.
But anyway...yeah, here we are. Third school in 8 months. Oh well, Kent was my second choice and I am from Ohio so it doesn't matter really. I am just fortunate to get things settled and excited to get started!
