[TSMD(DO)]

Also waitlisted 3/13, interviewed 2/24 as well.

 

[FarmerMed14]

Were any of y’all in the 1:45pm interview group that day? There were cool people in that group, and in the rest of the group in general. Would be awesome to see y’all in August

I was, yeah! I feel the same way, I'm pretty sure I know who you are, if I had to guess, haha.

Haha, I’ll send a PM

I’m hoping there is good waitlist movement here, it’s the closest school to my family, and I was really impressed with them after my interview.

Same here on all points. There seems to be pretty decent waitlist movement

 

[HopefulDrCrean]

I'm anxiously awaiting to get off the waitlist. Has anyone WL prior to 2/16 received any updates? The last I saw was 2/2.

I'm in the same boat and have the same question!

 

[aspiringphysician2234]

Has anyone waitlisted here received their acceptance recently?

 

[TSMD(DO)]

Nope, not me. I assume we might see some movement next week, and possibly alot around April 17th. That's wishful thinking, though.

 

[zenmaster34]

From what I can tell, the class is nowhere near full!

 

[TSMD(DO)]

Yeah, I hope that's the case. Were you accepted?

Nvm just saw your previous messages. Congrats lol

 

[Floridian929]

I’m hoping after they finish interviews, they get back to us waitlisted with offers. It’s so stressful waiting!

 

[mangosalsa]

Rejected just now. Interviewed 02/27

Sorry to hear that; I hope you're accepted at another school, at least.

How many students does PCOM South ga accept for each class?

 

[TSMD(DO)]

How many students does PCOM South ga accept for each class?

I believe it's around 60. Not exactly sure though.

 

[whaleintended]

I believe it's around 60. Not exactly sure though.

Thanks I was trying to figure out how many students were accepted to the inaugural class. Because I wanted to compare that number to how many Matched this year and it sounds like 51/55 which is pretty good!!

I would assume that there were at least a couple students who weren't able to complete all 4 years, so I bet the match rate is even better than 51/55.

That’s a good point! I forgot that two students in the inaugural class took a leave of absence their second year which caused them to change class. There might be more but I’m not completely sure.

 

[Lieutenant_Dan]

Are there any current students willing to share their experience at this campus? I don’t know much about it. Would you recommend this school? Just received an interview invite.

 

[aspiringphysician2234]

Any new acceptances off the waitlist here?

 

[Lieutenant_Dan]

For those that have interviewed, do you recommend in-person or is virtual okay?

 

[swimwreck]

For those that have interviewed, do you recommend in-person or is virtual okay?

I interviewed virtually and got accepted. So that's probably fine.

 

[fuzzypeachesdoc]

What are you guys stats like? I’m wanting to apply next cycle but I’m not sure if I’m competitive for this school. I’m in state and close to Moultrie.

I did the Biomed program here. Met many students whom were accepted with MCAT scores below 500.

I was not in the DO program but I did meet many med students while attending the Biomed program. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

I know people who have gotten in with MCAT in the 490’s

Wow! Incredible I’m gonna shoot my shot. I just took it the 11th and my gpa is okay 3.4 sci and 3.5 cum. From rural Ga so let’s see.

 

[premedjourney2020]

For those that have interviewed, do you recommend in-person or is virtual okay?

In person and I got accepted. I felt I did way better in person compared to other schools that I did virtual. Ppl can remember us way more when is in person because it’s longer and you get to talk to everyone. I highly recommend in person if you can go there.
They are extremely nice. Just enjoy every single moment and you will rock it.
Best of luck

We matched 100% of our inaugural class who completed all 4 years Inaugural DO Class Achieves 100% Match Rate | PCOM South Georgia

This is not 100% true. There were several students who did not match into the specialty they wanted and have to reapply next year.

 

[futuredoc7138]

That same statement can be true for many schools. Some of those students applied to competitive specialities. Those students at least matched into a transitional year.

Transitional year? I saw that on the list and I didn’t understand much about it. What does it mean? I was a little confused because it shows the hospital they matched but no specialty. Do they need to apply again?!

A transitional year is like a one year long residency. Students that applied to specialties like surgery or radiology and didn’t match can do a transitional year and reapply the next year.

Current M1! Feel free to DM me

Hi! Current M1. I applied with a 495 MCAT and a 3.6 undergrad GPA. Still apply! The school looks at a lot of other things besides the MCAT and I can definitely say your score isn't a full reflection of how you will do in the program. Myself and other classmates who didn't score high on the MCAT are doing pretty well for our first year!

 

[aspiringphysician2234]

Any recent acceptances off the waitlist?

+1, very curious. I suspect we will start seeing waitlist movement the closer we get to April 17th

Can you explain why to wait for that specific date?

 

[TSMD(DO)]

Can you explain why to wait for that specific date?

I think end of April is when applicants have to really narrow down where they're going. And I think either 13th or 17th we'll see movement, then again sometime in May alot maybe. Who knows though, just speculating lol

 

[swimwreck]

Can you explain why to wait for that specific date?

If you have an acceptance, you have to pay a $500 deposit by April 15th to keep your seat I believe. Not 100% on the date. I already paid it since I know I'm going.

Yep, you were right about the date. Just found it on their website. Additionally, if you are sent an acceptance, you have 14 days to send a $250 tuition prepayment, in addition to that $500.

Interviewed 3/20, WL'd 4/11 :') OOS (from Florida!)
Fingers crossed for everyone seeing WL movement!
