Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM) Discussion Thread 2016-2017

Hey guys, how soon after having your application verified did you get a secondary from ACOM? My application was verified on 7/12 and I still have not received a secondary. I have received some secondaries from other universities.

I got the secondary like 8-9 days after I was verified.

I submitted AACOMAS to ACOM on the July 10th, received secondary on 11th, submitted it on 12th and received "secondary received email" on 15th. Waiting for "your app is complete" email.

any recommendations on which car rental company is the most affordable/least hassle at ATL? I almost pressed the button to rent through hotwire, but I've heard some bad stories regarding Budget and didn't want to chance getting them as a company. ):

I grabbed a good deal through Priceline. Sign up through USAA to waive the under 25 fee!

You're in the right state of mind to be seriously considering living in this region for a couple of years!

One day, perhaps! My 3 y/o and I are staying with family in Birmingham so I wont have much (any) time to hang out post interview. If we end up in the Class of 2021 together then definitely count me in for some gator tail!

 

[cjcarter]

All this talk is making me so excited!!! I can't believe we interview so soon. We could possibly know in like a month whether or not we will be doctors in 4 years. So unreal.

Highly recommend reading "The Medical School Interview: Winning Strategies From Admissions Faculty" by Samir Desai and Ranjani Katta. It was recommended to me by another SDNer and it is extremely helpful!! Definitely going to be referring back to it when preparing for this interview.

Lol if anyone knows the answer please share.

It's not roman numeral 2, it's two capital I's, standing for Interview Invite. Technically, it should be I.I. to be slightly less confusing.

Ditto this. I just emailed them to see what this means... perhaps it was actually supposed to be a secondary invite? I am very interested to hear what they have to say...

I received it as well! I emailed them and they replied back stating they were checking into it and will respond back soon. Glad I wasn't the only one!

Any one know what the post interview acceptance rate is?

 

[femmegoblue]

Any one know what the post interview acceptance rate is?

I believe I read on last year's thread it's around 2/3 accepted per interview day.

 

[Midom]

For those of you who got an interview congrats! When did you guys submit your secondaries?
