I’m trying to send thank you cards but having trouble finding address for the community member that interviewed me. Should I just send it to ARCOM?

Yes, the admissions office should be able to forward it to them

Accepted! Interview 11/17. Does anybody know if ARCOM gives out merit scholarship offers before the deposit is due?

 

[stayhopeful2020]

Accepted and interviewed 11/17! Did y'all get an email for acceptance after the call, they said they will send it later, but I haven't received it yet?

ARCOM does not have merit scholarships

 

[Vrooosh]

I was wondering if ARCOM has need based scholarships/grants in addition to the federal financial aid you receive? Does anyone know?

Hi everyone! hope you all have been doing fantastic. I just want to make sure that the Matriculation checklist should only have the last 3 tasks "Login to Castlebranch," "Polio Vaccinations," and "Standard Immunization Forms." (after we turn in the matriculation agreement form and the $2000 deposit).

Thank you!

That’s what mine is showing.

 

[Dr Meow]

Same. But what's castlebranch?

 

[YNWA_Kuro]

Will be turning down my acceptance here. Hopefully it goes to one of you great people!

 

[Vrooosh]

Same. But what's castlebranch?

I think it's the background checking service

 

[zucchini_bread]

Withdrew my A. I love this school and it was my first acceptance so it was hard decision for me but I know it will go to another great applicant, wish you all the best!

 

[m1microglia]

Same. But what's castlebranch?

It’s the service we use for background check, uploading immunizations, and the physical exam.

 

[JustSomeRandomGuy]

What’s with like 15 people giving up seats in the last week or so? Is there some awful press release I missed or something?!?

 

[zucchini_bread]

What’s with like 15 people giving up seats in the last week or so? Is there some awful press release I missed or something?!?

I think it’s probably because of the upcoming deposit deadline so people are withdrawing other acceptances. I haven’t heard anything awful about this school, for me i would have loved to come here but I decided to go to a school closer to home.

 

[Jeanne d'Arc]

What’s with like 15 people giving up seats in the last week or so? Is there some awful press release I missed or something?!?

First deposit deadline soon so all the people with multiple acceptances would probably decline this school for another school closer or more established. Schools without a match-list usually have a lot of people declining, and if anything shady did happen to occur that would cause some movement as well. Expect a handful of people to drop after each deposit deadline listed on traffic guidelines.

it’s normal, and it happens with every school. I withdrew my acceptances and IIs from other schools today

 

[CO Tent Pitcher]

Just withdrew my acceptance. Best of luck to you all!

 

[deleted872555]

[GeicoCaveman12]

Declined my acceptance today. Hope it goes to one of you guys before Christmas!

Did anyone get a confirmation email after paying the deposit?

 

[Yourfavpremed]

Did anyone get a confirmation email after paying the deposit?

Hey, where did you pay your deposit online?

 

[DOstudent20]

Hey, where did you pay your deposit online?

I logged into the place where you scheduled your interview and did secondary, i think it is called PURL. I clicked on pay the deposit online and it then redirects you to student portal where you have an option to make a payment. You can download the matricualtion instruction document from your PURL to find out how to pay as well.

 

[MCAT-boy]

Did anyone get a confirmation email after paying the deposit?

Yes, I got a confirmation email after a few hours from making the deposit. As long as it shows that you paid the deposit in your student portal, you should be good

 

[t4fam]

Are you supposed to get an email after you submitted the matriculation agreement?

 

[yaymeMD123]

[KWMed21]

Interviewed 12/4 and just got the call this am! I’ve already accepted a seat somewhere else so hopefully the spot goes to someone here!

 

[Drsecondchance]

My seat in this class was released yesterday. This was my first interview and acceptance, so it was bittersweet, but I'm choosing between two schools that fit me better (PLFSOM and CCOM). I will continue to hang around here because this is a really positive group, though. Good luck to all.

 

[MedandMoscato]

Waitlisted just now. Interviewed 12/1
