Presidential is being redone. It's super high end and under construction. It's going to be like 1500 for a single over 2k for a double.
Buy an otoscope and ophthalmoscope! Don't buy a stethoscope you get one for free (thanks poma). Welych & Allen is recommended
It must be a great feeling. I hope to join u for class of 2020!! I'm so excited.I interviewed 10/26 and it took me about 3 weeks to hear back (11/19), OOS (NJ)
I am so excited about attending PCOM. Thank you for these insights! Would you be able to message me this Google doc as well?1. I love the school! I'm a first year and we just finished our first course (SPOM). SPOM was alot of work so be prepared medical school is hard. They helped us out alot though. Tons of resources and the class really worked well together. They also gave us mentors who are great. Pointed out good resources for us (ACLAND Videos, Net Anatomy, Histotime). They also have documents pasted down from generation of Pcom students to the next which are helpful.
2. This really depends on what your looking for. Lots of apartment complexes very close by. Cheaper housing to High end. Lots of people live in Lincoln green and metropolitan bala. Vista, mansions at bala, presidential city, duffield house, imperial towers, greebriar club, Dobson mills, executive house, alden park, rittenhouse hill and lots of others are close by. No shortage of options! There is a Google document about this that I can message you. You can also look for a house close by which might be cheaper. Living in manayunk is popular.
3. It's probably best to get a car. There are apartment complexes and grocery within walking distance but its in a bit more suburban area of Philadelphia. All the necessities are within walking distance (target, grocerry, starbucks, strip stores) If you lived in manayunk or center city you would only need a car to get to school. Manayunk is a mile from campus and over the river. Center city is 7 miles from campus.
ACCEPTED!!!! Checked the mail tonight after a long shift to the best surprise!!!!
Congrats!!!Accepted!!
I got the letter in the mail yesterday. Interviewed November 3rd.
I see you got accepted into KUCOM also. Are you gonna choose PCOM?
I'm not sure. I was pretty set on KCU until this PCOM acceptance. I have some thinking to do...
This makes me feel great.. Just need to get over this last hump and I'm in!!! I felt so confident leaving. It's just a matter of waiting now.According to students who interview PCOM has already received over 5000 applications. Imagine trying to get through those knowing there are probably 5000 more to come just for the DO program (we have 13 programs) as well as everything else they do. Monumental job and they are looking for not just good but for all around great. Patience is the name of the game.
Does anybody know how many application PCOM received last year ? I'm trying to get a good idea of how lucky I am to have been invited for an interview as an instate.
Congrats on your acceptance! when did you interview and are you IS or OS?I'd say no matter what, you're pretty lucky. It's medical school and interviews are a privilege not all are lucky enough to receive
pretty sure I read somewhere (maybe in this same forum?) that a current first year said they were told there were about 9700ish applications for around 600 interviews and 400ish acceptances? Not sure on the exact numbers but it may be earlier in the forumDoes anybody know how many application PCOM received last year ?

Question for those accepted before Nov 15th! The $250 deposit is due December 14th, but is there a deadline for the technical standards form?
Do I still have a shot at an Interview this late in the cycle? Last of my document was received on Nov 12 and I assume my application is complete. 3.7/3.7 31 (p:10/v:10/b:11) MCAT. OOS
They don't take themPerhaps this has already been addressed, but I have been complete since August and this is my top choice. Would it be beneficial to send a letter of interest or is that advised against? I apologize if this info is elsewhere.
My friend has seen people from all over the country including Hawaii and they don't send pre interview reject. You get that at the endHas anyone from the west coast gotten an II yet? Has there any been pre-II rejections?

Basically, it's a waiting game.So you're left hanging until the end?
Oh wow, good to know. Thanks.
Anyone complete around September hear back? Or are they still on July/August people?
Yes a few people (including me) but we were all waitlisted last cycle- not sure if that has much bearing
You were complete September and heard back around this time that you were wait listed last cycle? Did you or anyone you know get off of it? From the looks of it, doesn't seem like they are on the same pace this year..
I'm in nearly the same position as you (I'm from suburban PA) and I'm getting fairly anxious because this is my #1 choice. If you do decide to call, let us know how it goes/what kind of information they give you! Best of luck!Has anyone called recently to inquire about status? I know they don't accept updates, but want to express interest/see if I can find out any additional information. I live in Philly, from rural PA, have been to PCOM open house and my stats should make me competitive. In reading this thread over the past few months people seem to be hostile on the other end - worth calling? or just a wait-it-out situation? Complete since July...
When I interviewed there were 8 interviewees total.Sorry if this has already been answered but how many interviewees per interview day?
thank you. and is the order tour, lunch, interview?
