Anyone else still who interviewed 2/1 still haven’t hear back? It’s only been 4-ish weeks. Should I send an email?

I would hold off. They said it could take up to 6 weeks so I would wait until then before reaching out to them. But I interviewed the same day and got waitlisted last week. I would guess your letter will be coming soon. Please let us know what you hear and good luck!

Do you have to send anything back to let them know you are still interested in being on the waitlist?

You could send a letter of intent but I chose to send mine the day of my interview. So basically I’m just waiting. If I haven’t heard by the end of the spring semester I plan on sending grade updates. But I have no clue about how to reach out to them to express my interest.

Just got an interview request. Do we think they’re still seriously interviewing people or is this just a stat pad (interviewing more and accepting the same so their acceptance rate is lower and they come off more selective)?

It is highly likely the class is already full or almost full. You may very well end up on the waitlist. However, it seems like in the past that a large portion of students do come off the waitlist. I think the school interviews so many students to ensure that they will have a full class. This year is different with the South GA Campus opening. There are more spots if you applied and are willing to attend that campus. Good luck on your interview and I hope you get in!!

Honestly, that’s more notice than I received ha.. I personally enjoyed my interview day experience, but I would say if you have already been accepted to another school/already made your mind up about what you are looking for and know what school you want then you may want to skip. It wasn’t a bad experience for me and I think some of the comments on SDN can be exaggerated..

I know it’s difficult to keep up the pace when you’ve gotten a rejection from another school, but PCOM gave you an interview invite for a reason and so I think they see potential. The interview is closed file so the interviewer won’t know about your MCAT score and you don’t have to tell them. Tell them about how awesome you are in everything else you do! If you have the time and ability to get to the interview, then it wouldn’t hurt you to go and see. If anything, you will learn more about yourself and interview days for the next application cycle! And keep up the motivation on the MCAT studying! I am currently also studying for the MCAT in the event that I’m not accepted to a school this round and I want to be ready.

I spoke with PCOM rep the other day. Attendance is mandatory. They directed me to their policy manual on the website for specifics, but that document just said that the details of attendance requirements are determined by the individual professors.

There does not seem to be a Facebook group as of today.
