Has anyone received a secondary yet? Or if all that was needed to be done (secondary wise) was filled out on the AACOMAS website, has anyone received an email directly from PCOM to confirm the receipt of their primary app?

 

[MedSchoolAspire]

yes confirmation received but no further communication

 

[premed476]

yes confirmation received but no further communication

When did you receive it?

 

[DionnaK]

yes confirmation received but no further communication

When was your ACCOMAS app verified?

 

[MedSchoolAspire]

When was your ACCOMAS app verified7/10

 

[helpmeouthere]

yes confirmation received but no further communication

That’s odd. I never heard back and was verified in may

 

[EArlyBirdGetsTheWorm]

yes confirmation received but no further communication

To clarify you received an email from PCOM and not AACOMAS that they received your application?

I haven't received anything from PCOM. only from AACOMAS that I sent my app to PCOM. I was verified in the first week of June.

GA based applicants, seeking help to get a DO LOR (have several MD LORs) - I have tried to find a DO in the GA area to shadow, but have not been successful. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance!

Are interviews conducted in person or virtually this year?

Does anybody know what the secondary questions are yet?

Does anybody know what the secondary questions are yet?

It is my understanding that they don’t send out official secondaries, but instead they have you answer questions when you select the school on your AACOMAS app and that covers everything. I could be wrong though.

 

[peachstatepride]

Does anyone know when this school typically begins sending out II?

 

[mm05]

Has anybody found any prompts for the secondaries? I haven't found any

I applied from the northeast but have a bunch of family connections to GA. Even without connections, if you're in good shape stats-wise it's never a bad idea to apply.

Just completed my interview. It felt good, but idk. I may have butchered it because I talked so much about primary care and too little about research, which is what the professors themselves are interested in. But I'm not sure why research is necessarily important for a school that emphasises primary care. Not sure

Heard from a current student that PCOM-GA isn't big on research so I think you are good

[zouzen]

I just want to make sure but here was only one 30 minute interview after the 1 hour welcome session right? There wasn't 2 sets? If there were two sets I'm so stupid and missed it
