They told me that after the December 14th deposit date, some movement would take place before Christmas. However, I haven't heard of any movement. Anyone else?

same! so i'm wondering if class is full, like if enough people paid the deposit that class is full.

Do any current students use Sketchy Medical and think it's worth it? I'm in a master's program right now & will be starting at ACOM in the summer/fall and am debating on either just paying for 6 months to help me finish out my master's program, or if I should just bite the bullet and pay for 24 months since it'll still be good to use once I'm at ACOM. Hope that all made sense!

Last I heard it was so maybe they are interviewing for waitlist. As soon as the people who paid the deposit get into their top choice then they will withdraw their A and it’ll go to waitlist people.

I doubt they would interview more people if the class was full, doing so would benefit no one.

That’s what the waitlist is for. To interview people for a waitlist in case there aren’t enough accepted candidates who commit to the school!!
 
It looks like they're pretty selective, hopefully there's still a shot!

I’ll have to disagree with you, I think this school in particular extends acceptances to people within each interview group. Like you said they have to account for acceptance attrition so they accept people throughout the cycle. Looking back at previous cycles they have consistently accepted people shortly after interviewing up into April.

This is all speculation, but I think previously waitlisted applicants are reevaluated later in the cycle once the majority of interview slots have been filled. This is why in previous years waitlist movement has started as early as Jan and sometimes goes until the first day of orientation or possibly later.

I was told yesterday that it isn't full, due to some withdrawals of acceptances due to people choosing other schools to attend.
 
So class isn't full but I saw some posts on here of people getting interview for April so there probably aren't many interviews left?

It looks like they don't really over interview for spots, so even if you end up on the waitlist you have a really good shot of getting in

Class size is 210-ish. They interview between 600-800 depending on the year.

Considering some schools are interviewing nearly a thousand or more for 150 seats, thats pretty good!

sketchy is helpful for some and some do great without. There is a resource drive passed on thru students at ACOM **allegedly** :1whistle: so I haven't paid for any of the major outside resources (sketchy, B&B, dirty med, DIT, etc) school provides U world and pathoma

I agree. Your chances of gaining acceptance at ACOM if you're given an interview are better than average.

Hey everyone, I’m on the post-interview waitlist right now and I’m considering retaking the MCAT in March to hopefully increase my chances of getting in. Would that be a good thing to do? I know the results won’t come out till April and I’m wondering if it would be too late to help my chances with coming off the waitlist?

You should really ask the admissions office, they would be best suited to answer you. I would guess that you wouldn’t need to since you already had an interview.
 
Got the call 2 hours ago! I have been ACCEPTED!!!!!

My mother and father immigrated to the US decades ago and worked multiple jobs at a time to make ends meet while teaching me to stand on my own 2 feet. I had low grades at the beginning of my college career and wondered every day whether a single admissions committee would give me the light of day. I always wondered whether the obstacles presented to me were too challenging to overcome. Yet, I persisted. I never gave up on my dream.

I'm going to be a doctor!

Congrats! From one immigrant to another (or the child of at least), I'm so thrilled to see your dreams come true, and the legacy of your ancestors being carried on. Best of luck!!

I believe this is only for current students. They are having campus visit days for those who are accepted! They should contact you if you are an accepted applicant. If not, I'd reach out to the admissions office to inquire about dates.

Heard today that the entire class is full at ACOM. Is that true? I know someone who got in from the waitlist yesterday. They are interviewing until end of March, so why would they if the class is full?
