were you guys able to schedule your interview? For some reason it keeps telling me I don't have access to the page??
 
I have a 504 MCAT, complete on 8/7. Feel like I don't have a chance :/
Hey i received my first II from ccom. 505 mcat and was complete on 6/25. Don’t lose hope. It’s still early. They probably haven’t even had a chance to look at your app yet.

I also applied to atsu and dmu and still havent received any II from them despite applying early.

Same boat, still nothing. 504 and complete around 8/10 because of a late committee letter. I'm trying not to worry about it, starting to get IIs from other schools that have been interviewing for weeks (though ccom is one of my top choices). It's still pretty early though! Hang in there

did you do an SMP by any chance or was it just a masters with no linkage?

I just did a regular Master's program with no linkage to medical school. I received my master of science in chemistry.

Thank you! I have a sub 500 MCAT score. Do you think I have a chance?
I don't know the rest of your application so its hard to give you an answer. But maybe you have chance.... You can also call admissions and ask them. They will give you a better answer than anyone on SDN.

Could anyone help clarify the interview format? They use a panel of interviewers but I wasn't sure if the interview would be with a group of interviewees, especially with the virtual format. It seems like its relative low stress so I assume its a combination of traditional and MMI questions?

I had a friend last year apply with a 503 and was rejected. When they reached out to inquire why CCOM said their app was great except for the MCAT which was low. Generally speaking and I got this impression when I did a tour a couple years ago they expect at least their average of 508. So yes theoretically it’s possible but I think most likely not a very good chance.

Okay thank you for this! Maybe I’ll pass on this school then

It’s super early - I’m similar to you in regard to what you mentioned. Just have to be patient I guess!

idential stats. complete 6/30 no II

will definitely keep you guys updated! I saw that some people from early june were getting interviews and the same time people from august were - so was a little confused about the timing

From my understanding, it will be 1 DO, 1 med student, and 1 faculty member from the school and they will simply interview each candidate individually, one at a time.
 
any previous/current students at CCOM have advice on their interview format/what to expect?
 
Complete 8/8 but haven’t heard anything yet. Anyone have a time between complete and II?
