I'll hold off for awhile too. I have 3 interviews coming up and I just have a feeling I will like ACOM more for some reason.

Just got the waitlist letter in the mail. Hopefully my Sept 1st transcript update pulls me off this thing.

You will, and if for some off chance reason you don't, you'll be outright accepted at another school no doubt.

Congrats to everyone that got acceptances! And for those waitlisted, you guys are really early in the game so your chances are still great:) I have my interview here this Friday Aug. 26. and it is my number one school!
Are the interviews really as chill as everyone says they are (so basically "get to know you" questions like why DO and stuff)? I am kind of in freak out mode right now haha. I am just going over my app and the school's info, is that sufficient?

Also, does anyone have insight into the type of community service projects they do (I know they do trips to Ecuador but some other things)?
Thanks in advance!

The answer to your question about a "chill" interview is a resounding yes. Although it didn't happen to me, one of my fellow interviewees said that his interviewer told him to remove his suit jacket and get comfortable.

So far, I've been a lucky spectator on this thread, enjoying all of the positive energy and ACOM applicant and acceptee camaraderie. So, I would also like to request entry (fist pump into the air) into the @getfat fan club!!!!

Guys. I know I am a such a neurotic premed. So I just gonna put this question here.

I had speeding ticket in the past, it was infraction in the state of California.

There are no places on ACOM supplemental application + AACOMAS application say to indicate traffic infraction. ( I have read these applications again thousan time, they only has misdemeanor and felony, which I never had).

Should I inform the school guys?

Well, I don't know what the differences between Michigan and California are, but I have had 3+ speeding tickets and I did not report anything to any schools.

I highly doubt it matters if they didn't specifically ask for that information but if you're concerned, there's no harm in calling to let them know. I have a speeding ticket too and I'm sure many many applicants do as well.

If you paid it off then you are good to go, don't worry about it. I believe that section is for things like DUI, manslaughter, etc.
 
Thanks guy. I did call and Ms. Linda say to email Dr. Reynolds. I did emailed him. I think I'm just going to be honest with them even it sounds like a stupid question that keep getting on my nerve.

@femmegoblue lol. How come? That's alot of money, mate.

Because I was (am) dumb. I have also been without a drivers license and been pulled over for something else, which was a double whammy

I was pulled over for taking my girlfriend home late during college lol (no idea why, we were above 18). But I did not get any tickets beside the verbal warning. Sometimes, police just like to pull you over to check...

I tried to request an uber several times and there was no available drivers.

You might wanna schedule a pickup with yellow taxi or a similar company

what is the interview like here? I'm scheduled for 10/28 and I'm nervous as heck.

Is it just one interview?
How many people are interviewing you?

2-3 faculties will interview you. One of them will be a physician or clinical faculty.

Interview is very conversational. Relax, be yourself, and go with the flow.

I believe at Comfort Inn there is a ACOM shuttle that will take you to the school and back to the hotel. But you have to email them in order to get on the shuttle list. Maybe change your hotel to that one.

I emailed Mr. Willis the Monday before my interview when he sent out the reminder. But I am sure you can still email him now because he is pretty quick.

Yeap. Mr. Willis was SO NICE and extremely quick at e-mailing back. He waited for students too :) The shuttle to and from the school was so good, saved a good amount of taxi money.
 
Wait you email Mr. Willis about having a shuttle service to and from the comfort inn?
