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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Current M1 (almost M2), let me know if you have any questions regarding PCOM! (or DM me).
 
Members don't see this ad :)
Lol finally got the pre-II R, meanwhile, I've already been accepted to an MD. Surprised since I thought this was my top realistic choice. Welp, good luck to everyone else haha it's a great school
 
Haven't seen any reported on SDN, but their class fb grows everyday. I'd assume there's been some movement.
been noticing that too. Trying to not let it make me go crazy lol. There has to be some WL movement eventually

Just throwing it out there because I went ahead and looked on the previous year thread:

Those of you on the fellow WL, expect some movement after 06/04.

Reason: PCOM post-bacc term ends and in the previous year, there was some *notable* movement on the coming days after then.

Happy Thursday y’all!

The Facebook group might be growing every day but the official email group has not. The number has been slowly decreasing and no new members have been added this week except one person on Monday. There will most likely be movement soon as those seats get filled!

Waiting is the hardest part...

Sending some hope, but the FB group has a lot of current students trying to sell us book/ supplies. So it’s not all* incoming M1s

This school ghosted me two years in a row and am still salty lol. Just barely received a Pre-II R. Thankfully I have multiple MD acceptances. Really annoying how some schools treat prospective students.

Anyone know if PCOM ever accepts people who were waitlisted earlier in the cycle?
 
Yesterday at the South Georgia campus someone was accepted after waiting 7 months … don’t lose hope

This may be a stupid question, but for those of you on the WL are you reapplying now for the next cycle? I’m worried that my app for the 2023 cycle will screw up my current app/WL spot in the portal.

It shouldn't. If you recall the portal wasn't up and running for payment until late August. You should be fine.

I don't think putting in a new app for the 2023 cycle will screw it up, but you can always call admissions to double check.

It won’t

I applied to their Post bacc while doing the DO app and it lists as two different spots under the same portal. At any moment you can withdraw one for any reason. It has no bearing on your current WL.

Hello, I'm a future applicant for the 2022-2023 cycle and was wondering if anyone knows if PCOM takes AP credit for the pre-requisites (like exemption out of the first semester of physics?)
 
For those that received decisions and got off of the waitlist, did you all notice changes to their portal before seeing the decision on there?
 
I have noticed a change to my portal but do not know what to expect
