Thanks! I know how much it sucks to see acceptances rolling in while still hanging on the wait list. PCOM accepts literally until the day of classes so don't lose hope yet. I'm sure the WL is shrinking.

Thanks for the encouragement. Seems like everything's finally been moving since last week :) Staying positive, no reason not to. My name is on that list somewhere. Out of curiosity does anyone know how they select from the list? Do they go through and make a ranking, or is it more like they have 20 slots open so they select 20 people at the next meeting?

I've been told selection is based on keeping the class diverse so they look to balance the class. I don't know about the 20 offers for 20 seats thing though.

Hey all - does anyone know the range of MCAT scores that this school has accepted ? So lowest score and highest score ?

Hi, did anyone get in with a low mcat subsection score but a good GPA? trying to decide if i should apply or not bc I have a low CARS, ESL student but not underrepresented or anything. Please PM me if you guys get a chance! Thanks in advance!

Wow congrats. Great to know they are still accepting. I still don't have word either way. I assume that means there are slots still. Would the Masters still be realistic as a backup plan at this point?

Thank you! I think it’s still realistic, yes!

Thank you! No, I’m in state! They called me to give me the seat. Unfortunately I missed orientation since I was in so late but oh well! Better late than never!

Congrats! What was your MCAT if you dont mind me asking

Lol let’s just say not great. I was a second time reapplicant and I knew I was rejected bc my MCAT score was piss poor. I retook the MCAT and shocker, I actually did WORSE. So I did the masters program got killer grades, worked full time, did some extracurriculars, killed my interview and then made the waitlist despite my scores. We can just leave it at not even a 500.... so I have my work cut out for me to prepare for COMLEX.

That's amazing and it shows perseverance pays off. It also shows MCAT scores aren't everything.

Can you believe I still don't have a decision?

Just to finish that thought, I ended up getting a decision 4 days after the start of class. So I am going international. I wish all of you the best of luck!
