On my interview day back in December, an administrator said they only had 60 students deposit so I don’t know how accurate that is. I highly doubt that they would fill up the class this early. That would imply that all interviews from this point would result in a WL or R.
They gave us a number of seats available, I honestly don’t remember the exact number but it was a substantial amount
They were incredibly kind, very conversational. Relax and be yourself. I personally used the SDN questions about ACOM and I felt prepared. It was open file because they asked me specific points in my application.
Meh it’s because threads get buried. When I was a student there was a lot of comments on the school. I was even vocal myself. Looking back, ACOM is not great (paternalistic to a fault) but having many DO students rotate through my service as a resident, it’s not the worst by any stretch.
ACOMs advising was absolute trash when I was there and I don’t expect it to be better.
My class had a decent number of competitive matches. Only one had connections (optho) the 5 orthos had none. They just busted their tail.
You’ve seen almost half of what ACOM has to offer. Their preclinical rotations are sub par for sure but their clinical rotations are better than most new DO schools. Most ACOM students that rotate through our service have good reviews. There are a fair few other new schools (and more established than ACOM too) that can’t even present a patient, make a ddx, or have a decent management plan. Even though ACOM is preceptor based, they do a decent job of preparing a student for audition rotations.
advising is still bad haha
Not from what we have been told.
probably both?
Does anyone else know? I know lots on the waitlist hoping to get in here.
congrats! that was a fast turn time. Mind sharing stats?
I just wonder how late is later in the cycle. I have to look for housing at the place I plan to attend and I was hoping to hear from this school and a couple of others before I started paying for housing other places.
I think everyone who gets waitlisted somewhere they'd like to attend is in the same boat. While I am quite happy with the acceptances I do have, I am on waitlist for my top choice. I think once May/June comes around we should have a better sense of where we're going and just have to scramble to get housing. If you have an acceptance though, I would definitely look into housing around april at least casually.

Fellow waitlister. Don’t sell yourself short! You did your best and there will be plenty of movement/turnover in the coming months. Best to stay patient and remain hopeful!
Just send them an email at admissions!
yup and not sure if they are still interviewing.
When I went to the open house. I believe they said they are interviewing till April but they might have sent out all the interview invites a while ago….
I did see someone get an interview in like December for April so I do think they might be done sending out the invites.
Probably too low for acom
Congrats! Mind sharing stats?
My one tip is to be yourself! Show them why you would be an excellent contribution to their medical school. I had a great interview day experience and am sure you will too.
Students that run the Facebook group add people as the administration updates the list of accepted students, so it can take some time. It took me a couple weeks when I was accepted 2 years ago
Yes.

Got the A call this morning!
I emailed them and they told me they were out of 1 bedroom apartments, it may change closer to the semester
Summerfield typically fills up pretty quick, but in my opinion if you don't mind a 3 minute drive to campus there are much better housing options, and cheaper
