If you are waiting to hear back from a school you've been waitlisted on; Should you wait to fill out FASFA?

Absolutely not!! Fill that baby out ASAP. You can list multiple schools on the FAFSA (I think up to almost 10?) with no penalty. The information will be forwarded to schools and they will only create award information for accepted students! You want to get this done soon because GradPLUS loan applications will be starting soon, and require FAFSA related award information.

Yeah if you are wait listed at PCOM it doesn't hurt to fill out FAFSA considering they're known for letting people linger on the wait list far into the summer and sometimes picks you off right before classes or during orientation week. Better to have all that out of the way.

Anyone receive a decision recently?

 

[KaioKaizen]

Anyone receive a decision recently?

Nothing yet but they said by the end of the month we'd either hear A, R, or WL so fingers crossed

 

[mc29012]

Just a reminder for everyone that the gradPLUS loan application opens today

 

[Centrak Root]

Wait, did anyone figure out how to pay the deposit with a VISA -.-

 

[Charlie1921]

Wait, did anyone figure out how to pay the deposit with a VISA -.-

[mc29012]

You can't, they don't accept VISA which was really bizarre to me. Had to use an eCheck

 

[justalittlestar]

[ajx5000]

DD thread?

 

[justalittlestar]

DD thread?

I made a PCOM delayed decision thread. I think it’s posted on the last page.

 

[soontobedoc123]

anyone know how to withdraw at this school?

 

[justalittlestar]

anyone know how to withdraw at this school?

An email to admissions will work I’m sure

 

[mc29012]

anyone know how to withdraw at this school?

Did you pay the deposit on the 15th?

 

[Charlie1921]

Any recent interviewees hear back?

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Is there a portal update for WL or DD?

 

[DOTOBE2022]

Is there a portal update for WL or DD?

nothing for DD not sure about WL

 

[nydr]

nothing for DD not sure about WL

No change on the portal for WL.

 

[RAFneuro]

I seemed to have lost my program from the brunch and can't find it anywhere, but does anyone remember if we were told how to sign up for TISSUE/get more info? I'm considering it pretty strongly.

 

[Medicalhopeful2k19]

Is there a portal update for WL or DD?

What is the website for the portal? Is it the bannerweb.pcom.edu? All I can see when I log on is my application summary. I interviewed a while ago

 

[Locddoc]

That’s the application portal.

 

[Medicalhopeful2k19]

That’s the application portal.

So thats the portal everyones talking about?

 

[Lopero3]

No portal change yet, does that mean I'm for sure getting a waitlist or rejection since they said all decisions will be mailed today?

Medicalhopeful the portal link should be in your email u recieved when u first turned in your primary

I don't have the email anymore so I guess I cant check :/

 

[justalittlestar]

Contact admissions and I'm sure they can give you your user ID and PIN

 

[Medicalhopeful2k19]

Can any accepted students reply with their stats?

 

[Kiwi95]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

 

[JohnSmith123456]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

They sent you 2 rejections?

 

[kuzy]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

+1


Thanks PCOM, I get it

 

[Locddoc]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

Post interview?

 

[Kiwi95]

They sent you 2 rejections?

Yeah about a couple weeks apart.

Post interview?

Nah pre-interview. Thought I actually had a decent chance here but never heard back from them

 

[justalittlestar]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

E-mail?

 

[Kiwi95]

E-mail?

Yup

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Just received a second rejection from them because apparently 1 wasn’t enough

They must’ve sent you my post interview decision by mistake. Still waiting to receive one

 

[kuzy]

They must’ve sent you my post interview decision by mistake. Still waiting to receive one

I mean they did say they were having "technical difficulties"

 

[underqualified_applicant]

This is frustrating. I have a deposit due tomorrow for another school, and it's been 7 weeks since my interview and nothing. I even called yesterday to see if I could at least expect to know my decision soon so I wouldn't have to pay another school for no reason, and they wouldn't tell me anything

 

[Centrak Root]

Were you just accepted?!! I’ve been waiting for anew weeks now lol freaking out!!!!

My bad I'm super late, but my app was sent in December, interviewed in late January, accepted 3/5.
GPA 3.47, MCAT 513

 

[thatoneguy3]

It’s bad enough I was ghosted 9 months just to get the standard “thank you for applying, but we’re done interviewing”, but now they’re sending the same email over and over. Can’t a guy catch a break?

 

[kuzy]

Thanks PCOM, I get it

Lol I just got a 3rd rejection email..keep this up PCOM and you're getting blocked

 

[Kiwi95]

Lol I just got a 3rd rejection email..keep this up PCOM and you're getting blocked

Lmao just got my 3rd rejection too. They must really like me

 

[HaveAnOsteoblast]

I haven’t gotten a rejection email yet. Do you think I can request one? Other people have gotten multiple, and I haven’t even gotten a single one. Unfair.

 

[kuzy]

I haven’t gotten a rejection email yet. Do you think I request one?

You can have one of mine if you want

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Anyone else from ~March 7th not hear anything yet?

 

[justalittlestar]

Anyone else from ~March 7th not hear anything yet?

Have you not received a decision at all?! If that's the case, you should definitely contact admissions.

 

[underqualified_applicant]

Have you not received a decision at all?! If that's the case, you should definitely contact admissions.

I called yesterday and they refused to give me any info. All I asked was when I could expect a decision by, since I have a deposit due today for another school. Nothing I might email admissions
