I submitted it in the portal and also sent it to admissions. Admissions will also tell you to upload it to the portal.
Congratulations!! What time did you get the email??
Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you. PCOM is a great school. Could you share a little more info? Are you form the area, ORM, URM, research, clinical jobs etc?
and no i did not have any MD/DO letters because it was not a hard requirement as stated on their site. I think they are more lenient because this is still a covid application cycle but might be more strict next cycle.
What are your stats if you don't mind me asking? Congratulations!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm going to be completely honest here in hopes that it will inspire someone else to persevere even if they think they don't have a chance (I depended heavily on reading these threads before applying). Went to a big university my freshmen year and messed around the whole time. 2.7 GPA with a failed orgo1 class. Took a year off and racked up thousands of clinical hours as a scribe in the ED. Went back to school at a small school in NJ (I am OOS in Jersey but heavy ties to Philadelphia area) and am about to graduate this spring-- GPA here was 3.9. My overall sGPA because of my first year was somewhere around 3.2. 503 MCAT. URM. Lots of Covid volunteering in South Jersey and volunteering with minority youths in Philly. 2 years of research in physics. Two PhD and one MD letter of rec. ALSO!!! I submitted my application literally ONE WEEK before it closed. Everyone told me this was donating to the school and they wouldn't even look at me but I knew I was ready!! Believe in yourself!
im proud of you. we had the same journey! all you needed was one YES!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing that is very inspiring!!! Happy that they gave you the chance you deserve
I interviewed 3/30 and still waiting also, just fyi.
I was totally thinking the same time. Guess we just wait until it’s our turn (which hopefully will be good news soon!)
Would not wish this process upon my worst enemy. Very mentally and emotionally taxing
When did you interview? and when is the last day of the interviews?
last week of March. And I’m not sure about the last day. I don’t know if they share that information with applicants (maybe if they ask)
II received 3/30, interviewed 4/5, accepted 4/19. 20 ish day turn around.
I've seen people on here hear back after II 10 days with an A. I've also seen people wait 5+ weeks to hear an A as well! I really don't think there's any rhyme or reason to anything.
It depends on when you interview and when the Committee meets. If you interview the week of Committee meeting it can take 5-6 weeks to hear back. If you interview the week before the meeting you could hear in 2 weeks of so. It depends on the meetings, staff to prepare the files, and they check and double check all decisions going out so no disasters occur like people getting the wrong decisions. It is a work intensive process.
I sent an update in November and LOI in February.
Interviewed 3/18 and accepted 3/30-- so ~12 days
I interviewed 4/6 and was accepted 4/19 so 13 days
It took almost 6 weeks for me to receive an acceptance.
No but I wish lol 🙏🏻
Thats what I want to know too 😩
I don’t think so haha, absolute radio silence since august for me
Yeah I wish they would just send the R now. The silence is beyond frustrating
