There's a BBQ joint I've been told is good

 

[southflorida1107]

It was very chill! I enjoyed my interview quite a bit. This interview was very cool and the docs I interviewed with were VERY cool. I'm glad my application was considered and I can honestly say that interviewing well and being able to communicate with numerous people is a skill that takes practice and I'm glad that I went and I can keep going on and on.

BTW... that was a HUGEEE run on sentence but IDC. lol good luck everybody else.

How long did the interview last?

How long did the interview last?

My interview went by so quick but I believe we were capped at 20-25 minutes since there were more than 15 of us interviewers I believe.

I spent more than 35 minutes with my interviewers cause we lost track of time lol

Some people got less time and some got more. I guess it just depends on who interviewed you and if your responses led to more meaningful conversations which is pretty much how mine went.

Comfort Inn that is located a mile down the road, ACOM discount, great breakfast, and nice rooms.

Does anyone have a list of rotation sites?

 

[Oh_Gee]

My flight back to California is cancelled-_-... Stuck at Atlanta.

Interview was laid-back(which can be a good or bad thing because you don't know how you did). Dr. Hayes was so passionate and awesome about OMT, I was about lie on the table and let him demonstrate on me. we hear back in 7-10 days.

Faculty was friendly, housing looks awesome, school seems perfect.

did you fly spirit

 

[Oh_Gee]

Hello everyone, I have lived in Dothan my entire life. If you have any questions about the area just ask and hopefully I can help. I submitted my supplemental application today and anxious for the invite.

can we have a sleepover at your place lol

 

[deleted665733]

did you fly spirit

American Airline.

 

[john_stamos]

Well damn it guys, they canceled my flight yesterday so I will be coming down for my interview the 28th of this month. Good luck to everyone today.
Ill be staying at the la'Quinta hotel so if anyone is staying there or nearby feel free to hit me up.

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

Today is supposed to be the earliest the interviewees from 8/14 hear back from admissions so I am excited.

I was told that admission committee already met this week, and we should hear back this afternoon or by Monday!

 

[Michander125]

Kind of glad our clinic is getting slammed. Means more distractions to keep me from sitting around waiting.

 

[Apk13]

I guess it is not happening today.

 

[deleted665733]

Or we all got rejected

 

[deleted665733]

Just kidding!!

 

[Apk13]

Wave 1 defeated! Send more.

 

[OverlyRomantic]

I thought that no school is allowed to send out acceptance letters until October 1st (unless you applied for early acceptance).

 

[Dr_Country_Boy]

Call or email?

 

[Michander125]

Nope no call or email. Looking like it may be a long weekend.

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

I'm really hoping to hear Dr. Reynolds' voice on Monday.

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

Call or email?

Our group was told some acceptances would be emailed and some would be via phone. I think it is random who gets which.

Ok thanks, I was August 14th as well but @Apk13 message today threw me off because it seemed like he heard a reply.

 

[Apk13]

I was going with alottedportion's joke that we were all rejected, hence wave 1 defeated.

 

[Laito]

I'm hoping that today will be an exciting day for all of us!

 

[yvi101]

Accepted! Just got the phone call!!!!!!!!!

 

[riptide55]

ACCEPTED VIA PHONE CALL TOO!

 

[KO_TV]

ACCEPTED

 

[Dr_Country_Boy]

[OverlyRomantic]

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! Now I'm even more pumped for my II on 9/4!

 

[oceanman]

Accepted via phone call about an hour ago! So excited!

 

[TUVIX]

Congrats everyone! Early acceptances are amazing. Enjoy not being stressed out for a year.

 

[Apk13]

Accepted!

 

[Laito]

Congratulations to everyone who got their acceptance! Unfortunately, I've waitlisted. Does anyone know how their waitlist system works?

 

[jsasser]

can we have a sleepover at your place lol

Haha sure you can squeeze in the bed with my 3 or 6 year old. The little one still has accidents sometimes, hopefully your ok with that

 

[jsasser]

Congratulations to those accepted!!! I hope I can join you soon

 

[Michander125]

Congrats guys. Anybody from the first interview still waiting to hear on their status?

 

[realfruitjuice]

Is there a facebook group for c/o 2020?

 

[Oh_Gee]

those accepted have 30 days to accept (pay deposit) or decline right? how much is the deposit

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

I haven't heard back. This isn't looking good

 

[Dr_Country_Boy]

those accepted have 30 days to accept (pay deposit) or decline right? how much is the deposit

We have until December 14 according to the email they sent us today - they go by AACOMAS guidelines and its 2 grand

 

[DrPatriot]

I'm excited for 9/04 now that I have seen all of these acceptances. Congrats! For those of you who were accepted what were your stats? Did ACOM impress you?

 

[Michander125]

I haven't heard back. This isn't looking good

Feel like we should have heard back no matter what our status was, kinda wondering what happened

 

[QueenJames]

Got the call around 10:00 AM this morning. This was a great interview practice and I'm glad to have received a seat at ACOM. Seems like a great program!

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

Did you end up hearing back from ACOM? I guess my answer will come sometime this week.

 

[Michander125]

Nope. Id figure they would let all of us know the same day since there wasn't that many interviewees but maybe tomorrow or later in the week.

 

[Buzzlightyear33]

Its not all bad. After months of job searching I got 2 IIs this week so I can put more $$ in the bank before school starts.

 

[hsk013]

So even though the school website says the interview will be from 9am-3pm, we are actually done before noon?

My interview went by so quick but I believe we were capped at 20-25 minutes since there were more than 15 of us interviewers I believe.

[Endorphins98]

II today!! Very excited about the school! Looks like an excellent program with a ton of potential. I've never really been to the south, so I am also looking forward to that
