When were you complete? I'm complete and still waiting... :/
We have completed the review of your secondary application and your application is being held for interview consideration by our Admissions Committee.
ok, that's the same one I got... doesn't everyone get this one?
I'm wondering the same.... ?
What were your stats if you don’t mind my asking?
Consensus on this seems to be that it's more or less just a confirmation that they have things (and probably that you didn't just get screened). Most of the posters both this year and last year received some variant of this message, although the one sent out last year had more stress inducing wording.
I can't speak to this year's application cycle, but what I did last year was look at some of the common questions (e.g. why this school/program, why osteopathic, etc) so that I didn't really have to think about the answer. If you have something unique in your application/statement it may come up. For example a large portion of my interview was just chatting with the faculty about how I saw my graduate work integrating into education and future practice. Overall it was pretty laid back and conversational. They'll tell you this on interview day, but the admissions committee typically meets on Fridays to discuss the interviews for the week with decisions being sent out later that afternoon.
Signature says 509, 3.83
Interviewed there and I now tell others how that was the worst interview I had of all 6 that I accepted when I applied.
where are you going?
congrats. when did you interview?
Congratulations! When did you interview? Im interviewing this week so wish me luck.Also Accepted today! Hasn't hit me yet, but so relieved I don't have to apply a third time
Thank you so much, I am so so excited. I interviewed Sept. 22! No luck needed, you'll do great! Just be yourself, show your passion, and have a few questions to ask.
It took them a bit to get ours up and running. I went and made our year's Discord in the meantime and honestly we all use that more.

Do you know if you guys will be able to do clinical rotations within the hospitals in Idaho? I heard something about the hospitals not allowing ICOM students to do this for some reason. Thanks!
Not sure where you got that information from.. ICOM students do their clinical rotations at all the major hospital systems in the Boise area. St. Luke’s, St. Alphonsus, the Boise VA, and West Valley Hospital. If you go on the ICOM clinical rotation website you can see which hospitals are affiliated with the school. The majority are in Idaho with a few sites in the surrounding states.
Current 3rd and 4th years are rotating thru Boise hospitals and those thru out Idaho. Many will rotate thru ICOM and our OPP lab.
Yeah, as mentioned above, ICOM students have multiple sites to chose from in Idaho. There’s hospital systems in the Treasure Valley, Magic Valley, and Eastern Idaho that 3rd and 4th years do their rotations through. The majority of spots are actually located in Idaho.
The other program I got into is UIWSOM and they won’t make you leave the area if you are married or own property in the area (supposedly lol).
As someone who also has a husband, I can understand your concern. When you are assigned to a clinical rotation spot, you will do your rotations there during your third year. Fourth year you can complete rotations at your hub site, or complete rotations at other locations. ICOM does allow people to apply for hardships (to try and stay in a certain area), but family (spouses, children) or property in the area do not qualify for hardships. You are guaranteed to stay in the Meridian/Boise area during your first two years or medical school and then are guaranteed to stay near your hub site during third year (minus some rotations that may have to be completed at other sites depending on what the hub site offers.) Fourth year is pretty much up to you.
yes they do
Believe so. I haven’t seen any recently but I also haven’t been on campus at all.
I haven’t ever seen it released but honestly I got disconnected halfway thru mine and I got in.
What day did you do your interview?
11/2
You should hear back tomorrow.
