Interviews

I have officially scheduled 4 of my interviews. I will be interviewing at DMU on November 15, BUSPM on November 22, NYCPM on December 1, and CSPM on December 8. I couldn't be more thrilled! I also received a letter in the mail from Barry with just some basic information attached. There wasn't really anything mentioned about the interview day. My letter of recommendation from the podiatrist I shadowed has officially been sent to my advisor, so I should be good to go now for interviews!

Des Moines and California and a Letter from Ohio... Oh my!

I got an email today around noon from Des Moines University's College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery inviting me to come in for an interview. :) Then about four hours later I received another email, this one from California School of Podiatric Medicine, also wanting me to come in for an interview. Pretty exciting stuff! I also received a letter in the mail from OCPM. It included a formal letter inviting me to interview along with lodging information.



I honestly wasn't expecting to hear back from so many schools. I applied to all 9 schools with the hopes that maybe 2 or 3 wanted to have me come in for an interview. It is so wonderful to have so many options! It feels really good to finally see all of my hard work the past 4 years or so paying off!

The Ball Has Started Rolling

I'm a recent college graduate in the middle of the process of applying to Podiatry school. I initially thought I wanted to be a DO doctor, but upon further thought and after shadowing a podiatrist, I have decided that Podiatry school is the right choice for me. I will still be able to perform surgeries, write prescriptions, and have my own practice. I can do all of this and still have a family life. You get the best of both worlds. I really think it is medicine's best kept secret.

I have received four invitations to interview at different podiatry schools this week. Monday I received two emails. One from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and the other from New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Tuesday I received an email from Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. Today I received a phone call from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine. I also got a packet in the mail today from Temple University. Inside the packet there was a formal invitation letter, FAQ's about Temple, a student's guide to Philadelphia booklet, and information about lodging in Philadelphia. All in all it was very professionally put together.



I'm VERY excited that this process has officially started. I need to schedule interviews still, but I'm waiting to see if I hear back from any other schools as well so I can set them all up in the same two week time span.
