Hello wondering if there are any practicing Muslim female students at the campus?are exemptions made to the OMM dress code? If so, how did you request it? Also would appreciate if I can speak to a current student

I have moved your post to this school-specific thread for PCOM GA so that you can best interact with current students.

Anyone who interviewed on 10/17 heard anything yet? Trying to figure out why I haven't heard an answer yet.

Current Biomed student here! There are many Muslim female students on campus and they all have exemptions to the OMM dress code. They wear a long sleeve shirt underneath the shirt and black bottoms instead of the shorts. Hope this helps!

Best advice I could give is to relax, which sounds cliche but truly is the best thing you can do. The interview is so low stress, and they definitely just want to make sure you're a real human being. Just make sure you prepare for basic med school interview questions because that's largely what they'll ask. Just look at the SDN interview page and you'll find some questions you'll likely get. Also, don't freak out about your interview if you feel it didn't go well. My interview had major technical difficulties which ended up cutting my interview short by 10 min. As a result, I felt like I rushed through my answers and really didn't answer them to the best of my ability. However, I do think I conveyed my humanity and who I was well. I kept replaying it over and over in my mind afterwards and was sure I'd be rejected. But I still got the A. So obviously there are many more factors involved than just the interview.

 

[afpain123]

Just got my A. Interviewed on Oct 25th .

Does anyone know if it is possible to get interviews for different PCOM locations? Or do you just interview for one?

 

[Doctor.apply]

Are interviews in-person or online?

My interview was virtual

 

[Doctor.apply]

Do you guys think its too late to send an app. to this school?

You can interview at different locations. My interview was virtual, but I had the option of an in person interview.

Recieved II, schedule on 12/13. 🙂

 

[No Bread Pre-Med]

I wonder when they will notify ppl interviewed in early Nov. For those that got a decision, was it more around 4 wks or 6 wks?

It was exactly 1 month for me!

I have an interview next week, and I've been doing some research on reddit and SDN on how GA conducts their interviews. People from previous years mentioned having to write short answer essays prior to the interview. Are they doing that this year as well?
This is my first interview and I feel extremely grateful and nervous! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

i think so. im still at 4 bars at the 3 campuses.

 

[Miyaki]

i think so. im still at 4 bars at the 3 campuses.

I think once you got an interview, the bars at other campus will stop to progress.

 

[GetmeacceptedAnon]

I think once you got an interview, the bars at other campus will stop to progress.

wait all 3 campuses cant interview you?

 

[No Bread Pre-Med]

This isn’t true. Each campus evaluates you independently so you can progress at other campuses in addition to the one you got an II for (this was the case for me in both S-GA and GA campuses for this cycle)

Hi, are there any secondary prompts for PCOM-Georgia's secondary application publicly available that somebody has? Just looking out for it, I'm working on PCOM-GA's secondary this week.

Yes, we have a number of people exempt from aspects (not completely) of OMM due to religious beliefs and medical conditions. At orientation or closer to start you can contact the OMM department and ask about their procedures for exemptions.

 

[Dr.Janitor22]

Do you guys think its too late to send an app. to this school?

Someone in my class sent theirs in the very last day possible, so technically, no it is not too late.

 

[Dr.Janitor22]

wait all 3 campuses cant interview you?

Yes, if you submitted for all 3, they are all 3 separate admission committees.

 

[Syriano]

Does anyone know if this school sends out scholarships or when they might start doing that?
