Since like May last year I've been meme-ing them and calling them out on the MCAT's discrimination towards lower SES students. What I said to get blocked? No idea.Sad to see they silence your voice, what did you say exactly?

Yes, the process will cost a few cause you also need to do that training which costs a handful and testing/vaccines.sooo.. we have to pay around $50 for the background check and $26 for the myrecordtracker right?...
blehhh. ok thank you for the heads up hahaYes, the process will cost a few cause you also need to do that training which costs a handful and testing/vaccines.
You find any third years to talk to?Some miracle happened and I got accepted! I was wondering if there are any students, more specifically third years, that are willing to get in touch with me so I can ask some questions about the school and rotations.
i saw that on twitter lol iconicccccThe AAMC MCAT Twitter account blocked me for speaking up about the high cost of the MCAT. How's y'all's day?
I talked to a few, they only made me confirm this A over my other oneYou find any third years to talk to?
Super excited to do this MPH later.My interview with ICOM went very well. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Much of my interview focused on what I have been doing since undergrad, some of my research, and my MBA degree. I felt like they took the time to really go through my application and that they put thought/effort into their questions. We ended up going almost 10 minutes over our allotted time. I am hoping that's a good sign.
During my interview we talked at length about the concurrent MHA program ICOM has set up with Idaho State University (ISU). This was brought up by my interviewer as they thought I would be a great fit for it. For those of you considering doing a masters while in med school, I encourage you to look into this. The classes are split up over 2.5 years so there is no additional time beyond your DO degree. Also, because you're working towards a medical degree, some of the courses are waived for the MHA degree. You will have to apply to this program separately after your 1st semester at ICOM. And, if you have a MBA like myself, there's the potential for even more MHA courses to be waived.

MHA-DO Concurrent Program

No but if it’s anything like last year, July 26Anyone know if the start date has been announced?
70ish people came off the waitlist last year - that’s what they said during my interview.I’m so confused about this interviewing for the WL. How many people end up on these waitlists, and how many actually get off? I feel like there must be hundreds on the waitlist now. (This goes for several programs, not just ICOM)
ICOM was my only pleasant interview so far. They made me feel 100% at home and this low stress environment allowed me to be genuinely myself. So refreshing, but it did nothing to prepare me for other interviews, it’s been brutal since - haha.My interview with ICOM went very well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I might be since that is my minor and I want to do some public health stuff alongside being a normal physician.My interview with ICOM went very well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

They have an MPH they’re doing as well. Not just the health administrationI might be since that is my minor and I want to do some public health stuff alongside being a normal physician.
They offer both a MHA and MPH concurrently. I’m really interested in the MHA as some of my MBA courses can also be transferred over, which would cut out 3-4 coursesI might be since that is my minor and I want to do some public health stuff alongside being a normal physician.
It’ll probably just be a info session.Does anyone have more insight into what the ICOM ShaDOw event is tomorrow? I just got a text for it and I want to attend but I will be at work /:
First day of class will probably be August 2nd, the first Monday of August. Your orientation will probably start on Wednesday, July 28th. The first day of classes has historically been the first Monday of August. Last year the first years started on August 3rd.No but if it’s anything like last year, July 26
Oh you’re right my bad. I said the orientation day haha.First day of class will probably be August 2nd, the first Monday of August. Your orientation will probably start on Wednesday, July 28th.

my interview invite explicitly said it was for a WL position so I am assuming thats the case for most interviews at this point.WL today
My interview went well. There probably wasn't much of a chance I'd get an A given how late it is.
Mine didn’t say that :/my interview invite explicitly said it was for a WL position so I am assuming thats the case for most interviews at this point.
On average,18% more people applied to med school this year. Some programs are seeing an increase in applications of 20%+. Because interviews are virtual, many more are being granted and attended. This results in students hoarding II and acceptances. Add this up and you have one of the most competitive application cycles on record, if not in history.
Being waitlisted feels like you're ALMOST good enough but you're just an inch short of crossing the finish line.
I’m at 4 WLs post-II and 5 WLs pre-II....some may call me the WL KingI’m with you - all WLs so far.

Ranking for waitlist emailed to me this morning with a HIGH ranking. Hopefully some movement happens soon!
I remember hearing that in the 2019-2020 cycle 75 or so students were pulled off the waitlist. And I highly doubt every student that was extended an acceptance offer took it as they likely had other options too - so I wouldn't lose hope!!Just got my waitlist ranking.... I've been placed on the medium waitlist The email says there are 3 levels (high, medium and low) and they expect to have 150 students on the waitlist so 50 per tier. I would need at least 50 students to give up their seat and 100 at most to get an acceptance. Realistically do i even have a shot here? I can't see 100 accepted students giving up there seat between now and the summer... especially with how competitive this cycle is.
That’s only for rent!Y'all current admits who plan on going, how are we planning to pay for food? Technically you can only take out on loans what the COA gives you and last I checked, 14,416 is not enough to eat/live with??
Then food?? I feel like I’m missing something 😂That’s only for rent!
That just sounds like a flex 😂My rank was "Highest tier of the High Waitlist Group". Does that mean top 25?? 😶
That just sounds like a flex 😂
I’m over here in my measley middle tier like 🧐
Probably under “personal expenses” lolThen food?? I feel like I’m missing something 😂
Congratulations! I think it's likely we'll get an acceptance offer on the HWL! As looking on previous threads, plus what they shared on II Day, they accept more or less 70 people off the waitlist and there are 150 of us. In any case, wishing you luck!High WL rank!!!! Feeling super thankful but also a little anxious. What do you all think about chances this year of moving off the High WL? I’m trying to be optimistic here but I know things will probably be different this year and am hoping to hear back sooner than later!
