Hey guys, quick question, even if everything else was submitted prior to the MCAT, my complete date would be the same day my scores were received yes?

As in not complete before that date?

Hi,

I have a question about PCOM's application and materials deadline - On AACOMAS it says "All required application materials must be received and processed by the Office of Admissions no later than March 1st, 2021."

Does anyone know if this includes In-Progress Coursework? I have a remaining physics credit that won't be complete until 3/24/21 because the college doesn't offer physics 3 (quarter system) in the Fall so I had to wait until Winter 2021 to take it. It's indicated as In-Progress on my transcript.

Also, if they accept any physics credits for the prereq, I have an Intro to Physics (semester credit) and General Physics 1 and 2 (quarter credit) completed, so that would technically fill their physics credit requirements.

Thanks!
 
Hi guys! How long did it take to receive a secondary application fee email?

It took about 3 weeks after submitting for me to get it from PA but only took a day after submitting for GA

I had a similar problem. If you call them they’ll fix it.

I called and was told he can't confirm or deny status of my application or change my status on their end even after he pulled my account up and looked at it. Maybe I'll shoot them an email with a screenshot

In the row labeled: Pre-Health Advsr/Committee it should say the date that they have reviewed and accepted your LORs once they are all in, and no they will not send complete emails.

I guess it depends on who you get, I’m sorry! That’s a good idea!

You have all the requirements noted so you are complete. Fee, MCAT score and the three LOR's.

Hey guys, what's up. Submitted my secondary here a few days ago (Should have sent it waaaay before, but decided not to, just recently got deferred by my Early Decision MD school, so I submitted all my DO apps). I was going to ask, because there are no recent threads on cycle earliness or lateness (all of them are from 5+ years ago) -- what is considered early or late in the cycle? I know people usually say DO cycles go for longer..but still. I'm mostly a DO applicant right now, and I just got complete at most schools earlier this week. Unprecedented times, yadda yadda, also got deferred from my early school -- is it still early? :(. What's the average secondary --> interview turnaround time? :( stressing out.

If you have great stats (MCAT/GPA), you can expect to hear from them within a couple weeks to a month...if you’re kind of average in that department then It may take several months but they’ll keep sending II’s through April so you’re probably fine!

What’s qualifies as “great stats”? I have a 509, 3.5 cGPA, and 3.6 sGPA. I was complete here 8/3 and haven’t heard anything yet

Hi guys! I got an interview in the spring last year and was waitlisted. I ended up having to withdraw (for various reasons) and am reapplying. I had a great interview experience last year and they truly made me feel like they wanted me to be at their school, which was a really nice feeling. Be patient though, expecting the interview invitations.

Does anyone know if the campus choice on the application portal is arbitrary or indicates which campus you're being more heavily considered for? My campus says South Georgia, which obv I'm open to, but Philidelphia is definitely the campus that is my #1.

Is It possibly based on the answer that you gave on your primary?
