But there is still time for an interview. They interviewed well into March last year.

Dumb question, but how naked do girls have to get for OMM? Are we allowed to wear shirts or do we have to get down to our bras?1) there is literally nowhere you're gonna get this information
2) PCOM has a very minimal final trimester at the end of 2nd year so that you can study for boards, as well as ~5 weeks of dedicated board study time, but things are changing apparently so that fact may be up in the air.
3) There are PCOM match lists available, just google it http://www.pcom.edu/Student_Life/Student_Affairs_Main/match_2014.html
4) you have a numerical grade for each class during the basic science years, and high pass, pass and low pass for clinicals. I would assume that there is a ranking system.

They interviewed through March last year. Don't lose hope quite yet!3.68 cGPA, 3.69 sGPA, 31 MCAT (10/11/10). 8 years of military service, 2 years of firefighter/EMT experience, publication, worked all the way through college, complete 8/17. No news from PCOM. I guess medical school admissions is far more competitive than I realized. I really thought I would get an interview
More competitive and higher applicant volume every year, but you're a very strong applicant, and if you've applied broadly- to DO and instate MD- I would be surprised if you didn't get an invite or two to interview. I know for a fact that PCOM does interview pretty late into the cycle, and if by the off chance you don't matriculate this year, don't throw in the towel.3.68 cGPA, 3.69 sGPA, 31 MCAT (10/11/10). 8 years of military service, 2 years of firefighter/EMT experience, publication, worked all the way through college, complete 8/17.

I feel the same way. Worked 36 hours a week as a firefighter/paramedic all through my undergrad. On track to complete my entire Biology degree in three years. Volunteer firefighter/paramedic for almost 8 years. Station officer at my station and head of EMS operations for the entire department. No love from anywhere. I guess we still have a chance though.3.68 cGPA, 3.69 sGPA, 31 MCAT (10/11/10). 8 years of military service, 2 years of firefighter/EMT experience, publication, worked all the way through college, complete 8/17.

You have already got one acceptance, which proves that you are a competitive applicant.3.68 cGPA, 3.69 sGPA, 31 MCAT (10/11/10). 8 years of military service, 2 years of firefighter/EMT experience, publication, worked all the way through college, complete 8/17.

Sorry if I came across as complaining, I know that a lot of folks haven't heard from any schools yet. I am very thankful for the acceptances I have received.You have already got one acceptance, which approves that you are a competitive applicant.

I'm unable to access the portal, too.Has anyone been having issues with the portal? Not sure how I feel about PCOM at the moment, I called last week to say that I was having some problems with accessing the portal from various computers in different places and pretty much got told off by the lady on the other end in a "you shouldn't be calling us" kind of voice.
Where/when are people looking for housing? Any suggestions on some locations I should be looking? I want to live close (walking distance perhaps) to the school!
Someone give me some reasons why PCOM over drexel. and go
Aren't we all...Still waiting for an interview.
I asked the IT department and they're having issues with Chrome and Firefox. Sign on using internet explorer.Has anyone been having issues with the portal?

Last year, I didn't complete my application until January 7th, but I still got an II from NYIT-COM. PCOM is one of the most competitive DO schools, however. If you don't care about the application fees, I would suggest you have a try.How is the secondary like for this school? I know i'm pretty late, but would it be worth sending my primary and completing the secondary with my stats and ECs? 3.94 sGPA, 3.95 cGPA, first MCAT = 32 (12/6/14) second MCAT = 36 (14/9/13), ~150 hours of clinical experience, 75 hours of shadowing an family medicine MD, 60 hours of observing out-patient surgeries (still on-going), about to begin a retrospective clinical research study, 2 semesters of being a lab TA.
There's a Hilton on the same block as PCOM. Just search in the vicinity of City Ave and grab a cab.For those of you who've already interviewed, which hotel did you stay at? I've tried searching in this thread but I didn't find much information about PCOM rates or recommended hotels.

They do not
Thanks for replying! Do you think its worth it to get the $80 subscription for four years? Or will my pages/keynote programs that come with my laptop be alright?
You do not need a cab from the Hilton City Ave it is just up the hill a very ez walkThere's a Hilton on the same block as PCOM. Just search in the vicinity of City Ave and grab a cab.
Aware. Referring to other locations if the Hilton turns out too pricey.You do not need a cab from the Hilton City Ave it is just up the hill a very ez walk
Is anyone interviewing the 17th?
Do you mind sharing your stats?Got an interview invite yesterday
I have a few questions that I wanted to know before making a decision:
1) What is the average step 1/COMLEX score (not pass % rate)
2) What is done for board preperation? Is there a formal class and when/how much time are students given time off to study
3) How many students do DO vs MD match and how many match into each?
4) Is there a rank between each class and are classes P/F?
If anyone can answer some (or all ) of these questions that would be very helpful. I know that some of these questions have been mentioned on interview day/ prior posts but I can't seem to find them!
(tagging @PaddysPub since I know you are a current student)
Sure 3.7 SGPA 25 MCAT 10BS 9PS 6VR. Latin American female. Research experience and years of medical exposure. I also did an internship with an osteopathic physician (that helped a lot).Do you mind sharing your stats?

It turns out to be that MCAT and GPA don't mean everything... Because my GPA is 3.82 and MCAT is 29. However, no II as of now. I am so jealous. I hope you will succeed in your interview.Sure 3.7 SGPA 25 MCAT 10BS 9PS 6VR. Latin American female. Research experience and years of medical exposure.
