It's been a while since I posted, but things are going well. Time management is definitely the key to success. I still get in all my workouts and have plenty of time to study and keep caught up. MSU does block style exams so the amount of information per exam can be overwhelming, but its doable.
I'm also enjoying the opportunity to participate in electives. More later...

Being a Canadian Applicant.....
The intent of this post is help Canadian Applicants make educated choices to which DO programs they should apply to. I will list the Canadian friendly school followed by my thoughts as to what the admissions committee values.
AZCOM- Very Canadian friendly. MCAT 27 and over (however I was interviewed), GPA not as important. Interview was pretty easy going. Overall, I liked the school.
NOVA- MCAT 27 + and as a result did not get a chance to interview in 2 application cycles
Western (Pomona)-GPA over MCAT, was offered interview but withdrew
KCUMB-GPA over MCAT. They seem to interview a lot of people.
LMU DCOM- MCAT/GPA about equal. Ave stats will get an interview. Wanted to go but admitted to MSU.
UNECOM/LECOM/AT STILL kirksville - Probably will admit Canadians only if stats are much higher than their average matriculant.
TouroCom NY- Really only look at MCAT Bio. GPA can be average. My interview was a little more stressful than others as they kept focusing on my career change.
CCOM- MCAT emphasized. 27+
MSU-By far the best choice for Canadians to apply to; especially with the new Canadian Initiative Program. Seem to evaluate the total application. Interviews not mandatory.
