I would call their admissions office and just ask directly. They have been pretty open and helpful when I have spoken with them in the past. Asking for their assistance likely wouldn't be an issue imo.
They are waiving the DO letter for this cycle because of COVID.
Yes if you have taken the GRE or SAT or ACT they ask you to report the total score!
Is it required?
From what I could tell it was, it first asks you to respond whether you've taken each of those 3 exams or not, and if you mark yes then you need to report the score in order to have the section completed.
i got accepted w only an MD letter so don't sweat it
I also got admitted w/o a DO LOR. I emailed an admission officer before submitting my AACOMAS application and they said they were waiving it this cycle due to circumstances.
Not yet
I know that the first half of accepted students will have to have our deposit and background check turned into VCOM by 12/14. So, maybe after that date they will know how many students they need to accept/decline for admission. I would expect to hear back probably after that date.
They just told us in my interview that we would hear in 3 weeks so I was getting a little concerned since it’s been 4 weeks.
I called on Friday, and they said due to COVID the docs on the committee never met because they were all busy. They said they would be meeting this week and we should hear by Friday!
Same here! Submitted mid-July and only received the "application pending review" email so far... should I be worried?
i have two different friends (one of whom was waitlisted) who went to school here who said that they move people off the waitlist frequently-ish! it is a ranked list, so fingers crossed!!
I've heard that they are open to people calling and asking where they stand on the waitlist. Have you heard that?
i haven’t heard that but i’ve spoken to a couple different admissions counselors and they were all very nice, i mean i doubt it would hurt to call and ask, the worst they can say is no
VCOM as a whole has an acceptance rate of ~3.6% and ACOM has an acceptance rate of ~9.5% (source: DO School Rankings: The Best DO Schools in 2020). I think both ACOM and the Carolinas branch of VCOM were founded in 2010, although VCOM has been established as an organization since 2001. I don't think there is a large difference, but from the acceptance rates, it seems that VCOM may be a more competitive program. Personally, I withdrew from ACOM when I was admitted to VCOM.
when was your interview?
thank you for sharing this about your metrics! congrats!!
I submitted my secondaries 8/4, but I don’t think I got the official completed email until 10/26, I got an interview invite on 11/5
I submitted my secondary on 6/26/2020, II on 9/4/2020, and was admitted on 9/22/2020.
