Feel your pain! I loved the school and am anxiously awaiting their decisionCurrently dying of anticipation if anyone couldn't tell. I wish I didn't even know that ACOM has such a fast turn-around rate of letting people know where they stand after interviews.... Would be cool to just expect to hear within the next few weeks and then be pleasantly surprised to get an earlier response. Dying. Dyyyyyyyyyyying. Come on ACOM!!
hopefully good for both of us!

I don't think so. I've had interviews where they've asked me whether I've been accepted to any other COMs. They might, but I doubt it.
No. Faculty are still working.
Yay! I was hoping you'd say you got in as well! Congrats!ACCEPTED!!!!
Nope. You can just request to join. Congrats!
Thanks for making this list. As a fellow waitlister, it is very helpful! See ya at ACOMI called the school, and this is the information I received about the wait list. Much of this may be repeated information, but I will go ahead and post it in case someone else is freshly placed on the wait list and finds it helpful.
- There is no ranking.
- Toward the end of April/beginning of May is when they normally see students begin to drop their deposits. As spots become available, they review the applications of those on the wait list. This goes on through July.
- I was told they randomly review wait list applicants. However, they do take into consideration how applicants fulfill their mission statement. If you are from Alabama or the tri-state area, then your application will be reviewed towards the beginning.
- There are *roughly* 100 people on the wait list. I was told to keep in mind that many people on the wait list get accepted to other schools and do not formally withdraw their application. This list has been forming since September. Based on past application cycles, they typically accept ~40 people off of the wait list.
- If offered an acceptance between May and the beginning of June, then you will still have 14 days to pay the deposit. However, if offered an acceptance between the end of June and July, you will have around 3 days to pay the deposit.
And most importantly...
- Stay positive!
Congratulations to all who have been accepted so far, and I hope I will join you all soon in the ACOM class of 2019!

from what I remember they review it and send out invites by the end of the day. So clusters of interviews. You're just complete right before the deadline? Haha that's a bit late
We live off campus in Sweetwater and love it. We have a 3br/2ba and pay $790/month The staff here has been great to work with. My child is a newborn so I've only been doing this for 5 weeks with him but so far it has been good. all of med school is really about learning to balance life no matter what circumstances you have. Feel free to message me any specifics you want to know that you don't find on the Facebook page or on here. Congrats and welcome to the family.
Does anyone know the method of withdrawing acceptance? Email? I am choosing to go elsewhere and I hope that one of you waiting will get my spot. Also, I hope they throw a big pizza party with that 2k deposit
tell them i sent you and they'll do a referral. if it's cash i'll split it with you.
Hi Doug,
