I wonder if anyone got accepted after the interview.
 
Hey all! I got a call from ACOM today I believe to be moved off the waitlist. However I am on vacation overseas so barely get any reception. Do they send an email confirmation too or should I call back as soon as I can? I also don’t know if they left a voicemail or not because if they did I have not received one yet.

I'd try to get ahold of them by any means possible (email or phone) and inquire about why they contacted you.

I got a call from ACOM as well saying some students have dropped and offered me a seat in this years class. The dean said they were going to contact with more information regarding accepting and desposit via email but I haven't received anything so far.

II 4/13, waitlisted 5/16, verbal offer 5/18.

Just received a confirmation email. Email with deposit instructions coming later.
 
I interviewed on 4/29 and haven’t heard any admission decision yet, should I contact someone?

I was waitlisted 5/16 as well, did you happen to email them back or anything after you got the waitlist email?

I just checked and it says status: Waitlisted…. 🥲

I wasn’t given any email confirmation or anything though, is that uncommon?

I also didn't receive an email but am waitlisted. I called and they said they weren't sure why but that I am definitely on the waitlist.

Do you think I should call to confirm or would that just be redundant and annoying to admissions?

Nope, I didn't do anything after receiving the waitlist email. I was just planning to wait it out.

That's up to you. It definitely won't hurt- I just let them know I didn't receive an email and wanted to make sure that everything was okay. They were really nice and helpful.
 
Just got an acceptance off the waitlist here! It was definitely stressful with 3 WL's this cycle. Here's to hoping more of you get off the WL!

Does admissions typically call at a certain time of day? (morning, afternoon, evening?)

On my microsite, it says that there is an interview date for 6/17. Would that be for this cycle or next cycle?

Should be for this cycle! Interviews for next cycle should start in July.

That's what I was thinking too. I thought it was way too early for next cycle. Hopefully we will still see some waitlist movement if they are scheduling more interviews.

I see that on mine as well but I already interviewed and got waitlisted. It’s telling me I can register again which I haven’t been able to do since before I interviewed. I would bet that either they are going to interview more people or that it’s probably a bug in the system. It’s weird to be interviewing so late but we shouldn’t have the ability to interview again…

1. Describe how specific attributes of ACOM’s mission and core values align with your professional goals and personal attributes?
2. The Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine promotes values and equity from various cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. Discuss the role that diversity played in your decision to become an osteopathic medical school applicant.
3. What are your personal attributes that demonstrate the osteopathic philosophy?

This is what I saw when I logged in and then I just copied the prompts onto a google doc to work on later. There is a 500-word limit on each!

Did you ever find out why you had different questions than everyone else?
