Members don't see this ad.

Well I have 3.7 undergrad GPA, 3.8 grad GPA, thousands of hours of community service and 2 first authored publications. The only red flag is perhaps my nationality.

Are you international or? What do you mean? Also what did you go for in graduate school just curious

[Thenigeriandoc]

Yes, I'm a non-citizen. Sorry, I don't feel comfortable sharing my research topic in public - makes me easily identifiable. Please send me a dm if you are curious.

I’m international too. Complete around the same time you were. Got II. Don’t lose faith. I’m pretty sure they take international students

 

[medstud16]

R today - sad about it. Do they give pre II R feedback

 

[Thenigeriandoc]

How long are the interviews?

 

[tsktsk28]

How long are the interviews?

30 mins for the actual interview, but theres a group session before and after, each about an hour long. total time was 8am-1pm but there's breaks

Mind sharing stats? Sorry to hear :/

Is there an accepted students group?

 

[doctor-J]

I finished my application on 9/9 and I haven't heard back at all (not even a confirmation). Anyone else in this boat? I'm a little perplexed by this

I received an email with subject "CCOM at Midwestern University Application Status Complete" almost immediately after submitting my secondary, on the same day. You might want to check in and see what's up.

Oh yea I did get that one - just nothing after. Is this still abnormal?

I was done in July, thankfully no rejection yet... so it's not abnormal.

My friend, that IS a confirmation lol. But no I haven't gotten anything after that either.

Is the CCOM interview closed file?

 

[applesauce200]

Is the CCOM interview closed file?

The interviewers have your supplemental application only, so yes partially closed.

 

[applesauce200]

Got that A, interviewed 10/10

Please let me know if there is a chat for accepted students.

Congrats everyone, this is a humbling process. Others that are still waiting, keep your head up! There is still a long time in the cycle. Stay motivated! Stay hard!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! How did you feel after your interview if you don't mind sharing? I interviewed today and am praying I somehow didn't drop the bag.

 

[MagicTurtle1410]

The interviewers have your supplemental application only, so yes partially closed.

Is it supplemental or CV that you send into the school? They told us CV only, but I could be mistaken.

 

[smolbean]

current student, lmk if y’all have any questions! good luck with interviews and the rest of this cycle - still lots of time left!!!

 

[doctobe20234]

Anyone know if CCOM has PBL or team based learning?

 

[smolbean]

Anyone know if CCOM has PBL or team based learning?

not in a super structured way - for biochem, we have "workshops" where we are in groups/teams and work through cases together for ~2 hours every couple of weeks or so. similar situation for physiology. but for the most part, it's very lecture-driven

 

[trihard4523]

If I pay the $200 and sign the matriculation agreement is that like a "commit to enroll" which is binding or a "plan to enroll" which just lets you hold on to your acceptance spot?

not binding! if you decide not to attend, I believe you can get either your full or half the deposit back depending on when you withdraw.

506 / 4.0 here... I signed up for a tour of the college next week, hoping to speak to someone about it as well to get more insight. Been sending in updates / interest letter as well. No R yet so let's have faith 😀

 

[username1999]

It really does feel like they’re working down the MCAT score ladder tho

Definitley are lol, since the beginning it was just 515+ then slowly going down.. Their average 2 years ago was a 507, now a 510, whats next lol.

 

[TiramisuLover99]

No! What are you talking about! MCAT SHMEMCAT! They review holistically of course! It is a PURE coincidence!

Hi! I had a 506 and was interviewed/accepted in October. GPA was about 3.35 undergrad and 3.58 grad. But I am IS and have an engineering background.

Congratulations! I am also IS as well.. Interesting background!! Hopefully all of us radio silence people hear something soon. Can only hope for the best and not be depressed all the time (depressed as I'm writing this LOL)

Does anyone know how core rotation sites are assigned at CCOM? I know most, if not all, are in the Chicago area, just not sure if it's a lottery, application, mini match, etc...thank you in advance!

It's lottery with rankings. You pick your sites first, then your preceptors after sites are picked. Historically, 100% of 3rd years get one of their top 4 tracks (12 tracks total with half being very similar to another track just with some rotations flip/flopped).. Meaning 2 tracks are close to identical but like flipping peds/ob in blocks 5/6, for example. So if you rank your top tracks together you've got a very good shot at getting what you want.

4th years have gotten top 3 tracks (100%) for the past 7 years. 4th years have priority and schedule before 3rd years so that they can setup auditions/sub-i's.

This is super helpful. Thank you!
