Why do the secondary questions have to be so overlapping? =_____= ugh its like's theyre sorta asking for the same thing
Hello. I'm a second year at CCOM. Let me know if you have any questions about the curriculum or the school. I'd be glad to answer any questions! Good luck all
No. Each student is interviewed separate with a 3-person panel. My interview had a professor, a doctor, and a 4th year student conducting itHi there! I'm interviewing at CCOM in mid-Sept and had a question about the interview process!!!
The website says "they join several other interviewees to meet with members of a three-person interview panel, which is selected from a volunteer group of basic scientists, current students, administrators, and clinicians. Team members question applicants about their academic, personal, and health care preparedness for medical school..."
Does this mean its a group interview, where there are multiple interviewees with the 3 person panel? Or is each interviewee separately interviewed by the panel?
Thanks!
Looks solid to me. Our class average was about 3.65 GPA/29 MCAT, so you're right there. Good luck!Question about my chances here. 31 MCAT (12/6/13), 3.65 cgpa according to AACOMAS, 3.7 sGPA. Shadowing, volunteering, plenty of other sport related EC's. I already sent in my secondary. Thank you for your responses!
E-mail.no one answered this before, but ill ask again, does the school extend II via email, mail, or phone?

no lol just copy paste and change around the slight things needed.It seems like the AZCOM and CCOM secondary questions are identical. I will change them up a tad so that they may reflect each of the school's strengths but I am left wondering if AZCOM and CCOM talk to each other and will they see that my essays are nearly the same. Has anyone done this with their secondaries fro AZCOM and CCOM?
Sure. I chose CCOM because I have a lot of friends who went to Midwestern for medicine and pharmacy. I had heard only good things about the school from these friends.I was wondering.. what exactly made you choose to attend CCOM? Every single other school I've applied to, I know someone who's going there, so I've been able to hear about what makes the school so great, etc, but I don't know anyone attending CCOM. So if you don't mind, I would love to hear what makes the school so special in your opinion! Thanks
It's not. Some of my friends had an MD letter and received acceptances, but a few were asked if they had shadowed a DO in the interview. Have you?How detrimental is it to have a LOR from a MD instead of a DO? Would really like to interview here! Recently submitted my secondary.
Seems like CCOM is on top of technology. Do they video lectures or do you always have to go to them in person? I actually like going to lectures, but if I miss something or want to refresh, I'd like to be able to view the lecture, or part of it, again later.Sure.

The anatomy lab is awesome. It's newly renovated and located on the 5th floor so the formaldehyde smell is handled a bit better. Each station has a computer for easy access to electronic books and atlases. The faculty are very willing to go above and beyond to help you if you need it. There is also a new building under construction that will have an ER simulation room. On top of that, the school is well known for having abundant rotation options. I have no complaints
Unfortunately not. Several of the anatomy professors will put recorded lectures up but that's it so far. That's a newer thing that they began doing to see how it worksSeems like CCOM is on top of technology. Do they video lectures or do you always have to go to them in person?

Congrats! It has been wayyyy to quiet on this thread! hoping I get some good news as well. Would you mind saying what our stats are? Thanks!
been waiting almost a month to hear something...is this a bad sign?
Over a month for me. I would like to know the answer to this as well!
Hey everyone! I'm so excited to be interviewing here on the 23rd! Is anyone else interviewing on that date? I'm flying from out west so I would love to hear from someone who will be there interviewing too

Rent a car?I am interviewing here on the 22nd of sept! I'm flying into chicago from nyc and wondering about the best way to get to downers grove. Taxi? Seems to be $40 flat rate each way though (ouch)!
Has anyone interviewed yet? If so would you want to just give us a brief overview of how the day goes?
Thanks so much for the info, @ananasmed! If you don't mind sharing, how long after you submitted your secondary and were considered complete did they send you an II?
I was complete July 9th and invited July 30th.
What is your stat....may I ask?Is it safe to say I should expect a rejection from this school? I was complete in late June. =(
This school seems to be unusually quiet on the II front...
Does anyone know exactly what the portal change will be...I cant tell if mine changed (probably not).
Under the 'Post-Accepted' area there are two tabs 'Matriculation/Payment' and 'Acceped Student Checklist'...both are click-able but when I click there is no info just says 'We were unable to find your information.' or 'This checklist is available to accepted applicants.'
So Im assuming this is how it is before it changes and info under these tabs would show up if I actually was accepted?
They will only have access to your secondary application and your resume, I believe.Is interview here completely open file? Does your interviewer have your application and numbers both?
No. Just your resume and secondary essays with scores redacted.Is interview here completely open file? Does your interviewer have your application and numbers both?
