I got this and unecom to finish and even if they have a state bias, This schools isint nearly as bad as nyit or ou-com. Gotta maximize the chances of acceptance so I'm still gonna end up submitting the secondary here .
There are quite of few peeps in the OMS1 class with zero biochem.
Yes check last cycles thread for that. Dont forget as a DO school we have more than the two standard match lists. Expect three the AOA, the military and the AMGME.
If you do receive a secondary here, it means that the school is very interested in you as a person and will likely give an interview. This is, of course, not 100% true, but it is generally. WCUCOM doesn't send out automatic secondaries so it's a good sign of you get the opportunity.
Again check last cycles thread. The data was good.
I agree with jbuc all the way. As additional advice i would say follow how our class does this year. The facts are the adcoms here are not stupid and they will pick the incoming class in a way that will make up for our short comings. That being said we have a great class so you have your work cut out for ya.
I would also like to add that where you match isn't as important as what you match, and what you match is completely based on personal preference and hard work. It's a simple fact that the majority of those students interviewing at DO schools say they want to do primary care of some sort, but it changes when they're not under the microscope. It's okay, though, admissions committees know this. All that being said, however, and you get schools like WCUCOM that do have a heavy percentage of primary care oriented people. Numbers will always be skewed in these situations, and not in a bad way. If I remember correctly the school had someone match at Mayo Clinic last year, as well as having one match into dermatology somewhere. It's possible here!
Texas resident , received secondary about a week ago. Haven't even started on it .
Give it a couple weeks and see what happens. The secondary comes via U.S.P.S so it's going to take a little bit. Plus, school started this week and everyone, faculty included, are just getting back into the swing of things.
The adcoms are like heinz ketchup, the send out secondaries and IIs when they are good and ready. You have tons of time to deal with Carey when and if they time comes. Work on other secondaries for the time being.
Secondaries are not distributed regionally. Apps are processed in the order they are received and seconardies are sent to desirable candidates.
I don't know what the exact number is, but if you are offered an interview then there is a high probability that you'll get accepted. The interview classes are typically small.
Congratulations man! Do you mind telling us around what time you sent in the secondary via mail? Thanks
