just wanted to make sure for the secondary all you had to do was attach the essay and hit upload after the payment and general questions, seemed a bit too simple to me
 
The interview was great! Super relaxed, and my nerves were gone after 20 seconds in. All my questions were very straight forward. I will say some of the other interviewees said they had more difficult questions, but I really enjoyed my interview. We laughed the entire time and even went over the 30 mins

ACOM was AMAZING! The faculty is super welcoming, and honest about their expectations/goals for the school. The student ambassadors were happy and excited to have us. My interviewers were super nice. Be prepared for ethics, why DO, why ACOM, etc. most importantly have fun, and be professional.

I got a secondary invite on July 7 and submitted it on July 11. I was waiting for the decision but it was taking a long time and finally they emailed me last Thursday but it said I was missing documents (my letter of recommendations). However, I submitted them through AACOMAS, so that's weird. I emailed the person who does the supplemental application and the admissions office, they haven't responded.

I am pretty sure they are busy with the interviews. Should I call them instead?

Hey those of you interviewing this coming week (8/25 interview), anyone want to share a rental car? Im going to grab one. PM me if your interested.
 
Silly question for accepted folks, we are essentially good as long as we put down our deposit by Dec 14th?
 
Got the email saying no interview at this time but I am on a waiting list. I didn't know they did interview waiting lists. Good luck to everyone interviewing and still waiting for that interview!

There is a waiting list for post-interview AND pre-interview?
 
Is there a portal where we can check our application status or do we wait for an e-mail? I am getting SO ANXIOUS! I NEED AT LEAST ONE II :(

Good luck to everyone interviewing today! If anyone wants to talk to a current first year while they are here just send me a PM and we can meet up!

To everyone still waiting for interviews, I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Same here! I feel like at least one interview invite will help me calm down, but ONE acceptance will completely diminish my stress levels! Good luck to you :)

By the way, if anyone had any doubts about this school on a boards-preparation level, the COMLEX first time pass rate jumped up from a 89/90% to close to a 94.7% for the past year.

Probably more attributable to the class average MCAT going from 23 to 27+. Board prep and scores really tends to be due to the work put in by the individual

Where did you get those stats?
