No portal change and I use USPS informed delivery so I know there's no letter in the mail yet as of now :/
YepHas everyone who interviewed on 12/1 received a letter yet?
Haha right, and I don't live that far away so that wouldn't be a factor.Same here. I'm pretty sure I double checked my address when I wrote it down on the slip of paper during interview day.
I have an interview here coming up and am really nervous about the 30-minute writing assignment. :/ I've always been a slow, meticulous writer. I do really well on writing assignments except when I'm not allowed to take my time on them. Then I just kind of fall apart. Knowing that I'll have such a short period of time to finish and cannot pre-prepare any way because all the email says is that it's a "writing assignment" is stressing me out.

The writing assignment was really straightforward, and through preparing for interviews you probably already have an answer in mind for most if not all the questions that they ask. Thirty minutes was plenty of time, and they said it wasn't an issue if you couldn't answer all the questions.
Thanks, both of you! It makes me feel better to hear they said it's alright if you don't have time to finish them. Does anyone know if your answers on the assignment factor into admissions decisions or if they're just a tool to help guide your interview?I wouldn't worry so much about it. The writing assignment is to give your interviewer talking points.
A lot of people focus on getting quality answers and leave some questions blank. Be prepared to answer any of the questions posed on the writing assignment though.
It’s more of a tool to guide the interview. Basically, the interviewers can only ask you questions about things you have talked about in your writing piece. It’s a closed file interview so they don’t know anything about you except what you write in that writing piece. They do get to see your MCAT and GPA and your application as a whole before making a final decision but they won’t be asking you any questions from that stuff if you don’t write about it in that writing piece.Thanks, both of you!

Thank you so much for your insight. I feel a bit better now knowing that no one (at least hopefully!) is going to be going through my written assignment thinking, "This isn't a magnificently articulate, polished essay. Rejected!"It’s more of a tool to guide the interview. Basically, the interviewers can only ask you questions about things you have talked about in your writing piece.

I'm having a bit of difficulty knowing where to look to find information about the school. A lot of the descriptions on the website are loaded with the typical buzzword-y stuff about holistic care, a commitment to the success of our students, treating the whole person instead of the symptom, fostering diversity, encouraging preventative care, etc. There is a bit more about specific programs on the general PCOM website, but it's hard to know which, if any, of these are also available at the GA campus. While I am really drawn to this school for a lot of these reasons in addition to its great location, I'm worried any answer I provide to "Why PCOM?" will sound very unoriginal.
has the class of 2022 ga-pcom fb group been created yet?
Has anyone gotten an II recently? Getting kinda nervous here..
what do u all/students do for the health care INS., since they don't offer anything? I wish they would have at least a medical center or something for students.Not yet that I know of but last years facebook group was made around this time.
At first student affairs sent invites to emails you provided on your contact sheet.Once I see the facebook group, I'll post on here.
I can't login to mine...When is the medical health questionnaire due? On Nucleus, it says 6-8 weeks after the PCOM login has been received. I ask because my PCP's office is pretty booked for the rest of January and it's been 4 weeks since I received the login info.
I personally recommend googling 'aacom pcom georgia' for this summary sheet about the school. It's the pdf link.I'm having a bit of difficulty knowing where to look to find information about the school.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just get it done before orientation. If you don't do it in under 6-8 weeks they won't rescind your acceptance or anything like that but it is a good idea to get that stuff out of the way as early as you can so you're not scrambling in July for it.

Where in the nucleus portal can you find these questionnaire. Is there any other requirements that needs to be submitted?When is the medical health questionnaire due?

I haven't heard back from them either. I interviewed 11/10. Nucleus won't let me log in and haven't received any other correspondence from them.Haha right, and I don't live that far away so that wouldn't be a factor.
Yeah I've been getting PM's from people who interviewed on 11/10 and 12/1 who haven't heard anything. It just seems strange to me.I haven't heard back from them either. I interviewed 11/10. Nucleus won't let me log in and haven't received any other correspondence from them.
I'm going to try calling them this afternoon, but I don't know how much information they will be able to provide over the phone.Yeah I've been getting PM's from people who interviewed on 11/10 and 12/1 who haven't heard anything. It just seems strange to me.
Will you let us know what they say? I also interviewed on 12/1 and haven't heard anything. Thanks!I'm going to try calling them this afternoon, but I don't know how much information they will be able to provide over the phone.
Yeah! I tried calling a couple of times but nobody is answering. I hear there is a winter advisory in effect so campus is likely closed.Will you let us know what they say? I also interviewed on 12/1 and haven't heard anything. Thanks!
Yeah, Gwinnett County schools are closed. A lot of counties' are, including mine, even though absolutely nothing has happened outside lol... I was born and raised in Maryland before moving to Georgia and the reactions to winter weather here always amuse me. I do understand Georgia's not as equipped as Maryland/other states in the north though.Yeah! I tried calling a couple of times but nobody is answering.

Closed fileII received on 1/5/18 for 1/12/18 LizzyM is 58 hope this helps. Also will the interview be closed or open file?
Closed file
For my group on Jan 5, they gave us 30 minutes to answer ~6 questions on a Word Doc (in the library computer lab, before the tour). Then you print out 2 copies for your interviewers. It's a blind interview and the responses to those questions tend to lead the interview. The interviewers are permitted to ask follow-up questions related to any information you provide in your written responses.
Lol probably shouldn’t have written that while I was sleepy. Just thought the info would be useful to know.That sounds like some frenzied typing, lol. Thanks for the info though!
congrats!! my lizzy is similar; do u mind sharing your actual stats? im just trying to see if i have a chance here. I've been complete for like ever.II received on 1/5/18 for 1/12/18 LizzyM is 58 hope this helps. Also will the interview be closed or open file?
