After personally visiting the campus, current students, and with administration of this school: I'm genuinely impressed. Lots of research focus, tons of untapped resources in the area waiting for med students, absolutely GOAT campus and tech. No pushy "primary care is best!" stuff; they're pushing hard for historically tough specialties for DOs.

Noorda is new, but I can easily see it becoming highly regarded in the osteopathic world in the near future. This post is my "I told you so" record for future generations lol

I submitted my secondary back in Oct and still haven’t heard anything back.

Is NOORDA still sending out II? Should I just expect an R at this point? I don’t think calling admin office will offer much guidance.

They sent this out to all Waitlisted applicants: “As we near the final stages of the 2025-2026 application cycle, we’re anticipating some movement on our waitlist. With that, we are reaching out to verify your continued interest in Noorda-COM”.

I just withdrew from the waitlist.
