I think this cycle it has been around 4 weeks (1 month) to get a decision. The fastest I have seen was 2 weeks for a decision, but that was last cycle.
All emails from PCOM usually come in the morning to early afternoon
I got my A in a little under 2 weeks post-interview.
PCOM itself has limited clinical research opportunity but it’s location in Philadelphia is tremendous for research. All the nearby academic hospitals have research in nearly all specialties and are more than happy to take on PCOM students if you put in the work to email them and network
Receipt of decision is totally dependent on when you interview and when the Committee meets. If you meet the week of Committee meeting it can take 4-6 weeks to hear, if it is the week before the meeting it can be 2 weeks. Committee typically has met on a Tuesday then decisions are processed by the staff and emailed or mailed. If it takes longer than 4-6 weeks it could be your decision was shelved because the Committee had questions and your interviewers were not present at the meeting when you file was brought up. They are very diligent on this process and they really put alot of positive energy in file review and decisions.
Thank you so much for your detailed response! I interviewed on 3/2. My anxiety is through the roof lol.
Based on previous year threads, they send till early-mid April. April ones are more leaning towards WL.
Here’s a link GroupMe
Thank you!
.I haven’t heard anything either! And that’s how I feel. The silence is killing meAnybody else hear anything this week so far on II? I see/heard of A/R/WLs but nothing for II yet.
I find it so comical that every time I think I pinpoint the date for which they might release a batch of IIs, I am sooooo wrong.
killlingggg me omg. trying to remain hopeful despite this waiting game
can’t believe I wrote this less than 24 hours ago, but finally got a II today. Teared up at the invite :,) the longest waiting game of my life but I’m praying it’s all worth it!
Congrats! Do you mind if I ask your stats? I was really hopeful about this school but I haven’t heard anything so far
thanks!! and 3.73 cGPA, 3.55 sGPA, sub 500 MCAT, 1500+ clinical hours as a med scribe for MDs, some research and 3 internships. I also have a committee letter w 2 MD letters. No DO letters or DO shadowing. Oh also OOS and URM
lol I definitely did! and next Wednesday. I heard they have more slots within the upcoming weeks! hoping you’re next!NIIIIIIICEEE! Lilcheese had some lilTears
What date is your interview?
seems like they send ii only in the morning.
I heard back on Tuesday and was waitlisted. Interviewed 03/03. crossing my fingers to get off of the waitlist soon
I interviewed on 3/4/22 and heard back on 3/22/22 at around 10AM. It seems like it really depends on when the committee can get together to review your file/interview. Also from what I've seen, it seems like most things go out on Tuesdays.
This kind of thing happens when someone who had been slated for an interview drops it.
MCAT 503. 3.0 Undergrad, 3.9 Grad. OOS but I am from the Northeast.
You can message me as well! I'm a current second-year Biomed
Linked it below:
I think we have concluded that it doesn’t mean anything significant. PCOM probably just removed it from everyone’s because it’s not on the portal for applicants that have been accepted, interviewed, or still waiting. Unless the counselor is still on someone’s portal then I don’t think we can say anything for certain
I uploaded mine to my portal in early March. got an interview invite last Thursday for an interview tomorrow. Hope this helps.
