2021-2022 Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM-PA)

So I emailed admissions yesterday asking if they were sending interview invites and this was what they said.

"Thank you for your email & continued interest in PCOM! Your application is complete & in the queue for committee review; the committee is continuing to review applications."

Not sure how long they will be reviewing applications, but just wanted to share

Members don't see this ad.

 

[Rose1296]

Well that's a game changer! Could you tell me what you emailed to them exactly? I'm just confused why they are not being transparent

I said : “I was interested in finding out if interview invitations are still being sent out, or if this application cycle has officially ended. I look forward to hearing from you and I thank you for your time and consideration.”

And I titled the email application status inquiry, so I think that’s why I was told my application is in the queue to being reviewed

Are people still getting accepted from the waitlist via the portal? Or are they now calling people?

I’m curious to hear what others say about this too

I thought they only did portal exclusively but I saw some people write they got called?

Also curious. Been checking my portal every day.

*high fives in portal saved login 🥲*

When you get accepted PCOM portal usually shows a deposit requirement in your application requirements in the portal first.
Then it will show an update on your home page in the portal.
Then you will receive an email to check the portal the day after.
Then a letter in the mail.

 

[deleted1111520]

If you look at last years forum as well the last person to get off the waitlist was in orientation week august 5th. Just stay hopeful and enjoy the break.
Ps: always have a plan B

 

[lilcheese_]

Manifesting we get some waitlist movement this week!

 

[deleted979079]

I withdrew my acceptance. I hope it goes to one of your amazing people

Wow, as if this process wasn't stressful enough, we now have to look for mystery clues on our portal to indicate that we are accepted!

It’s not really that bad most schools do the same … updates on portal come a day before the acceptance email

 

[Mimize16]

Just gave up my WL seat! Goodluck everyone !

 

[deleted1111520]

2 weeks of no waitlist movement ! Has anyone heard back ?

 

[AlphaMaleOnBetaBlocker]

2 weeks of no waitlist movement ! Has anyone heard back ?

I believe any accepted students during 5/1-5/15 would need to submit a deposit within two weeks (based on the online deadlines). This means that 5/29 should hypothetically be the last day for any of those accepted students to decide.

We’ve seen at least one other person in this sub so far deny the acceptance so they’re probably waiting for committee meeting or maybe someone isn’t posting acceptance as they’re coming out.

Regardless, starting 5/15, any accepted people would need to do a deposit immediately.

I guess we will all see and wait (more so the latter).

 

[MBS6221]

I'm not sure there's any mystery. I got an email saying check the portal for your admissions decision, and then I checked the portal and it said you're accepted and there was a literal confetti animation.

Was just offering some comedic relief in this process LOL, hope we all see the confetti soon!!

2 weeks of no waitlist movement ! Has anyone heard back ?

Hopefully the committee is just super busy rn bc the DO class of 2022 commencement is next week. Hoping for waitlist movement next week 🤞

[mattbobble]

My son was accepted elsewhere and has pulled his name off the PCOM waitlist. Good luck to all of you. The passion of everyone on here and their hard work towards gaining acceptance to either MD or DO schools is exemplary. Hope you all are successful in the end. My kid got one interview his first year and this year was on 8 waiting lists and ended up getting 3 acceptances. Keep the faith!!

Anyone in here still haven’t even been rejected pre interview?
