I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they call you to tell you or email you?

Lol, that would be a pretty brutal call.I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they call you to tell you or email you?
My secondary was complete 10/15, so I can say I'm truly thrilled to have heard back from them today!
Also, I actually got a phone call and an email from the admissions office within thirty minutes of each other today. The email was sent first, but they called to offer me the interview (I think due to the short notice, seeing as I have 5 days to figure out travel, etc, but I'm not complaining!)
I remember someone on interview day saying a FB page would be made for us, but it hasn't been made yet as far as I knowIs there an official Facebook page for the incoming class?!
Do the interviewers also have access to our secondary essays?
Nope, they only have access to your resume/CV that you submitted.

Sorry to hear that. When were you complete?

I think they have very high standards for II or maybe strong instate preference
Yea it isDoes anyone know if the campus is accessible on the weekends? I think I want to re-visit before making my deposit decision. However, the only time that I would be able to is on weekends since I'm OOS.
Yea it is
I just remember CCOM having pretty tight security, needing an ID card to enter pretty much any building. I just don't want to waste the trip if I won't even be able to check things out.
Electives, yes, but the university has many established sites in all specialties and locations for these months. If you had somewhere you wanted to go specifically and the school did not have a contract with that site then you would have some paperwork to complete. As for the core rotations, you submit a rank list of your preferences and then there is a lottery deciding who goes where.Are students here in charge of scheduling there own rotations?

Maybe next week, since it’s right before finalsWhen do you guys think the next round of acceptances will come out?
Yep!Does CCOM accept pre-II updates?
How does one send these? Do they have to be academic updates?Yep!
If you want to attend CCOM, I HIGHLY recommend sending in updates! Send them to the admissions office email address.Does CCOM accept pre-II updates?
Send them to admissions in a PDF format. The updates can be about anything. I personally updated them with any new meaningful community involvementHow does one send these? Do they have to be academic updates?

Would like to know this as wellCan any current students (that had more than 1 acceptance) explain how they were able to get over the $67,880 tuition price tag? I am on the STRUGGLE BUS. No matter how many "pros" that I write down on my list, I will be forever overwhelmed by the magnitude of that number. I am genuinely wondering: Do most students come from extremely wealthy families or something??
I chose to go to CCOM over other schools because of what it has to offer. Dean Nichols served as the president of the AOA and continues to actively advocate not only for the profession but for the students as well. As such, she always gives us the latest news, especially pertaining the the upcoming merger. The school also has a very established relationship with the different hospitals in the Chicagoland area, which gives us better rotation experiences and a leg up come interview season should we decide to stay in the area. But even if you don’t decide to stay in Chicago, CCOM has a pretty far reaching reputation. Yea, the tuition is high, and we’re all relying on student loans in some way to get through school, but it’s all worth it.Can any current students (that had more than 1 acceptance) explain how they were able to get over the $67,880 tuition price tag?

Not from a wealthy family. Taking out lots of loans. Applying for scholarships when I can. Tutoring on the side for some extra cash. Ultimately, medical school is going to require some form of loans unless you come from a very wealthy family. I wanted to stay in the Chicagoland area for residency and CCOM offered the best opportunity for that out of all the DO schools. Speaking to CCOM alumni attendings about their loans, they all pretty much just view it as another monthly bill. You just accept it and pay it.Can any current students (that had more than 1 acceptance) explain how they were able to get over the $67,880 tuition price tag? I am on the STRUGGLE BUS.

Can echo what @emkayveedee has to say. Fellow MS-4 at CCOM and I view my loans (which are substantial) as just another number. Am I going to strike it rich straight out of residency? Hell no, but I'm ok with it.Not from a wealthy family. Taking out lots of loans. Applying for scholarships when I can. Tutoring on the side for some extra cash.

I've only had to schedule one outside of the school-arranged ones, but people who want to end up in areas outside of the midwest (California, etc) generally organize rotations themselves at outside institutions.Do you have to schedule your own rotation at CCOM?
