Are mock interviews worth is

6 Upvotes

Basically the title, I have a couple interviews in August for Nova Patel and ACOM. I’m only really seeing mock interviews that cost like $399-$500. Should I spend the money or ask a physician to do a mock interview with me?

Take step 1 as a DO student?

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Making this post because I just found out I passed comlex level 1, and was wondering if I absolutely need to take step 1. My school required a certain score to sit for step 1 and I didn’t achieve that score in the time period they gave me, so I had no choice but to move on to clinical. I am now on rotations and taking my shelf exams, and I am having second thoughts. Should I try to study for step 1 at this point or just leave it as is and focus on my shelves? I plan to take step 2 for sure, but I am kind of stuck on if I should take step 1 during rotations. To add on, i am interested in anesthesia, pmr, and em, if that makes any difference. I am a bit overwhelmed on what to do so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

issue with professor LOR date

2 Upvotes

hi everyone, I am applying to this current cycle. I have been trying to get in contact with my organic chemistry professor who wrote my science letter recommendation three years ago to have him update the date to this year. I reached out to one of the schools that I did not hear back from who prescreen for secondaries and they told me they would prefer an updated letter with the updated date to be sent to them. I told them I was having issues contacting the professor since I have been out of school for over a year and the Admissions person told me that they can reach out on my behalf. They reached out today and within 30 minutes he sent the updated letter of Recommendation with the updated date. I’m not sure what to do because I’ve been contacting him for over six months and he has not updated my letter of recommendation through Interfolio, but he sent it to the medical school as they emphasize that they needed an updated date on the letter. I tried calling Interfolio and they told me that they can also send an email out to stress to him, but again I’m not sure what to do if he does not update that letter onto Interfolio. I’m honestly so annoyed because I’m not sure why he has not been responding to me, but he was able to respond to the medical school that needed him to update the date. They told me that I was then good for getting the secondary but some of the schools that I apply to require it within two years so I’m not sure if I should individually reach out to them. I do have another science letter recommendation that was updated with the date, and I have already reached out to some programs who told me that it was fine, but I would rather not have this be another thing stacked against me and just update it.

And does anyone know if you can send schools individual letter of recommendations through Interfolio instead of sending it through AACOMAS. please let me know thank you

RVUCOM Portal

3 Upvotes

Hi! I submitted my secondary for RVUCOM (colorado campus) a few days (a week and a half or so) back and have noticed that the "My Application Checklist" in the portal isn't updating/didn't update even when submitting my secondary. Is this happening to anyone else? Just wanted to check before I reach out to troubleshoot because I've heard about issues with the portal. TIA! :)
