Anything?
Haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully soon.Anything?
Hiya. It's hard to give you a concrete answer since ICOM is new. They likely have accepted many more OOS students than they normally would have to fill up their inaugural class, since they are starting this August.Hey guys! I'm applying this round for a lot of D.O. schools and am wondering if ICOM is OOS friendly?
Yes they are. I'm OOSHey guys! I'm applying this round for a lot of D.O. schools and am wondering if ICOM is OOS friendly?
Dont forget to join the ICOM c/o 2022 Facebook page. Mrs. Martin is moderator.Hey guys,
Please don't lose hope - I was accepted last week!
MCAT 504
Kinesiology major
Post-Bacc program - GPA 3.71
Working in research now, prior xp as scribe and lots of volunteering
This is my experience... Asked a DO colleague from my hospital for a letter of recommendation after applying to ICOM. After interviewing on 4/2, I wrote personal handwritten thank you letters to my interviewers and the admissions director. After a week, I sent in a LOI. After a couple of months on the WL, I asked my mentor (who also wrote me a LOR) to write another letter of support, which helped tremendously.
I don't have any info on how many seats are left but please do not give up until the cycle officially closes.
Wishing the best of luck to you all and hope to meet you during Orientation!
I used to check this thread at least 5x/day and I felt obliged to post haha... I hope this was helpful!
Best of luck everyone!
Try requestatest.com I don't know if it's necessarily cheaper, but many people (from the ARCOM fb page)said that's what they used. I made the mistake of going to my primary care doctor, only to learn later that my insurance wasn't going to pay for all of it and get billed 1500.I didn't know titers would be so expensive! Do other incoming students have any suggestions on where or how to get these cheaper? The lowest I could find near me for everything is $340

If your insurance didn't pay for the vaccines, that's BS. I have crappy insurance and it covered the Tdap Hep B etcThat happened to me too! It was convenient but spendy. I also have to get my vaccines AND titers redone for Hep B, MMR, and Varicella because I wasn't immune at the time of the first titer. None of which my insurance paid for either. ):

Get your vaccines at Walgreens. It's cheap, convenient, and your insurance will cover it.That happened to me too! It was convenient but spendy.

I think they've announced that they're full haven't they?Anyone got called today???
Yes, that announcement was made on June 4th.I think they've announced that they're full haven't they?
Even if they announced they're full, they'll still be filling in open spots if people drop, right? At least, I'd assume so.I think they've announced that they're full haven't they?
got the call thursday , there seems to still be some movement happening.
sure Ny resident cgpa 3.2 , sgpa 3.0 mcat 498. Standard ec's research, volunteering at the hospital, shadowing a pcp. I recently had the doctor I work for send over a rec for me and sent over a loi dont know if it helped much though. good luck to everyone still on the list !
Congratulations! And thank you for the for the information. When did you interview?
Is it just me or all the people getting in are those who interviewed for the wait list and not earlier in the cycleend of April
Its basically to review the past weeks lecturesCan anyone explain what curricular review is in ICOM’s curriculum description? Also, I noticed Anatomy is 20 weeks long. Is this typical??

So I just got into William Carey COM, and am seriously considering going there because of the loan situation at ICOM. At the same time I have read many horror stories of WC regarding abnormal amount of students failing classes, bad match rates, school being on probation, etc.
Smh. Anyone know anything else about WC?
William Carey seems like its in a nightmare situation right now. Their attrition rate looks horrible recently, and I think only 93% PLACED. Those are bad signs.So I just got into William Carey COM, and am seriously considering going there because of the loan situation at ICOM.

Sorry, know nothing about ICOM. It's a black box.Given the fact that WC has been around a while, I would second guess going there. After reading about the plans at ICOM, I really think Dr Hasty knows what he’s doing and has some really innovative ideas for ICOM. Maybe @Goro can chime in.

I heard they said they already filled all the seats. The only movement left is only if 1 or 2 students drop their spot in the next month or so.Any movement?
If normal EC, interview skills, and LORs, definitely YES. Apply elsewhere too. in fact apply to all DO schools. You WILL end up somewhere.506 MCAT with a 3.55 GPA; is it worth to apply if OOS ?
