For now, choose the earliest date available just in case admissions can’t provide an earlier date. I would imagine that they would be willing to accommodate an earlier interview time, but it all depends on what they say. Good luck on your interview!
Interviewed on 1/10, still at 6 bars
you did their biomed program?
Yes. I am currently in the second year. We are almost done with winter term.
They are still actively sending out IIs/As. I wouldn’t expect any waitlist movement until the beginning of May when people have to start reducing the amount of As they’re holding. Even at that point it will be a slow trickle off the waitlist most likely until classes start in august.
Biomed at PCOM GA??
nope. MCAT bros is an organization that helps people with the mcat, but idk this year he wants to start helping incoming students connect so he created a fb group for every school!
STAY AWAY FROM THEM
haha you definitely caused a rise out of reddit
What happened?
somebody resurrected a 2-year old reddit post.
I don’t want to cause a major distraction from the point of this thread so I’ll try to cover it in one post…this is a good example for all of us on what NOT to do.
Why doxx yourself here by posting your LinkedIn?
I respect that but I still don’t see the point in further doing it with your LinkedIn! You’ve already been transparent!
Damnnn you a real one. Thanks for calling and askingHere, let me call them and ask
)Well, me personally, I’d commit arson probably, if they asked me to. Maybe even treason for an A.what do we gotta do to get a ii from this school
Thanks for sharing! Do you remember if the dates were until beginning of April or through the end of April?
What exactly do you mean by “a while”?
Once you're on 7 bars, it usually doesn't take them that long to provide an official decision. It would be a good idea to give them a call to see where they're at in terms of releasing your decision.
Yes, feel free
The interview is indeed closed file. They’ll just know your name and that you’ve been selected to be interviewed.
Congrats can I ask your stats
I don’t, unfortunately. But there were at least 10 interview dates open and I saw earlier in this thread that they may extend into late(?) April to offer more interviews if needed!
While it won’t hurt you to submit a letter of intent (apparently in some very rare cases it actually has hurt them), most adcoms on SDN agree that they dismiss LOIs since you can just send them to any school. Also PCOM states that they only accept updates for GPA and MCAT scores.

Thank you for that link. I just looked at it, I appreciate the help! I have not been officially waitlisted which is why I was unsure if sending a letter of intent could help when a decision is made. However, that stat makes me feel better!While it won’t hurt you to submit a letter of intent (apparently in some very rare cases it actually has hurt them), most adcoms on SDN agree that they dismiss LOIs since you can just send them to any school.

Here is an interesting take on LOIs that received Goro approval and some other interesting discussion on the topic, basically only send one if you have acceptances elsewhere to schools that are more “prestigious.”

EDIT: Now updated with a Spring Supplement!
Also for my fellow waitlisted, just try to find some calm in the fact that PCOM-PA has about a 64% post interview acceptance rate, which includes waitlist acceptances. So while everyone without an A needs to start preparing for reapplying, there is still an incredibly good chance of getting that A from PCOM.
You definitely seem to have a good chance just based on your stats and seeing as you’ve had other successful interviews already (any As?), I think you have a high likelihood getting an A and I really wouldn’t worry at this point.
Yes I have had 4 interviews to DO schools beyond PCOM all of which resulted in As. I am hoping you are right about me getting an A here. I greatly appreciate the advice!
