Letters of Interest vs Intent - no IIs
hi everyone. i am a second time applicant and have applied to 7 DO schools this cycle. i submitted primaries in mid July and submitted secondaries by early/mid August. unfortunately, I haven't heard anything from any of the schools - other then the LMU DCOM email that others have posted on here saying I'm still being considered for a potential interview (received it yesterday). Should I be sending letters of interest or intent to any of my schools even though I haven't received any interview invitations? Or just continue to wait and not do anything else on my end? ** I'm a lower stat applicant, sub 500 MCAT with average GPA but 3.86 in my current masters (MS) program, 300+ hrs direct patient care, 3000+ hrs research, 300+ hrs shadowing, 300+ hrs volunteering, great LORs, etc. several schools i also have state ties to (undergrad/masters/home state etc) .... losing hope :')
