This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Secondary received and submitted today! Received the complete email a half hour later. How long did it take you guys to hear back about a potential II? The secondary email said they'll be starting interviews in mid-August

I got mine 2 and a half hours after my complete email. It seems like they're pretty quick!

Congrats!! This is getting hard to keep track of, do you think we could just like this post if you get an interview? Not sure if will catch on but might be easier to understand how many people are getting them...
 
Is there match data for ICOM out there? I could not find any and wanted to see where their graduates ended up doing their residencies.
 
Does ICOM screen out harshly for under 3.2 sGPA? Mine is just below the cutoff and I haven't gotten a secondary yet.
 
Mine's 3.18 and I have an II, so no they're not harsh about it (that being said, who knows if it'll matter post-interview). IIRC, it took them a couple days to send me my secondary, so if it's been longer than that shoot them an email?

Has anyone heard back about interview dates yet? I am starting to feel that good ol' fashioned pre-med neuroticism creeping in.

Good luck everyone!

The email offering the interview said that they will begin virtual interviews in mid-August. Guess, with reasonable lead-time, we will hear soon!
 
AACOMAS verified 7/20
Secondary Received 8/5/20

Yup, scroll to the bottom of their main page and there's a link.

ETA: hey @voppp do you know if the info session is formal (as in, should I wear a blazer -I'm a girl btw) or can I just wear a nice blouse/button up shirt?

@let-me-take-my-mcat tbh once I wore a pink bro tank to one so... no hahaha. And as for Ellie, I’ll attend a session maybe tomorrow while I’m driving from Des Moines and ask then!

I attended one last month. I wore a collared shirt, but they won't let you turn on your camera or chime in via microphone, and so I would not consider it formal. You can ask questions through a chat box! It is a very structured webinar.

Yeah I’ve been to like 2 or 3 of them, they don’t mind one way or another haha.
 
Has anyone else who was selected for an II received any follow-up info from ICOM regarding scheduling, format, etc.?

They said theyll start in mid august for my email so im not surprised they haven't released details yet
 
i'm guessing we'll hear more about scheduling interviews sometime next week
 
The ICOM website says that the next info session is 8/14. It also says that info sessions are held on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Are info sessions held every Tuesday and Friday?

Can they actually see you during the webinar?

Is the time range specified MST?

Thank you for mentioning about Mountain Time because I assumed it was Eastern Time...
