Is the secondary simply a $75 fee or am I missing the questions?!

Hope everyone is ready for the long wait. Based on previous years process, PCOM will most likely start sending out IIs probably mid to late September.

oh man

Should we be expecting "application complete" emails?

curious about this too. has anyone received a complete email after your LORs were marked off?

They don’t send complete emails IIRC

 

[futurexray]

Typically they have not sent complete emails. Applicants check their portal to see what has been received. Dates in all the required items note the file is complete.

 

[raizmedschoolapps]

nah, not on my end

For PA my LOR's are not received but they're marked complete for south georgia and georgia. that's so weirddd and they don't send out complete emails nor do they want emails asking for app updates

 

[foodienerdy]

I'm confused as to why the portal shows the status for my MCAT scores as "Awaiting" but below it also says that my scores are received. Does it show up like this for anyone else?

 

[LuvtoBeADoctor]

The automated system got the MCAT scores . Some one has to manually check it off .

 

[GetmeacceptedAnon]

just got destroyed by PCOM with my inbox blowing up

+1

+1

What did you get?

 

[AvsPearTree]

What did you get?

no one has received a II if that's what you're worried about. Those most likely wont start coming out until late September if PCOM continues their trend from previous cycles.

If I selected both locations, do I still have to explain or no?

 

[drdudedo]

Is anyone else in this PCOM open house?

[Dr. Zezima]

Is anyone else in this PCOM open house?

[drdudedo]

Actually I’m not sure if it was an open house, it was just them talking about OMM

 

[Timeless:)]

u mean on the primary?

yes

 

[drdudedo]

yes

Yes explain for both locations why you’d wanna go there

I know PCOM doesn't send out complete emails but other than LORs + MCAT scores on the secondary portal is there anything else that needs to be received? I didn't see lines for transcripts but assumed there would be a section marked as not received if there was.

Also did it take anyone else 2 weeks for LORs to get checked? I submitted the secondary mid August and the LOR were just marked as received today

My portal updates every day to say that today my LORs were received, really weird.

Same here. I was thinking about calling them to see if it means if they received or if they have yet to receive it.

 

[sw2090]

Yeah but in general seems like a large spectrum - some DOs received my letter like the second day and some took 3 weeks. All my LOR were in AACOMAS by mid July so I'm guessing it's just when the human in admissions gets through it and some of them I got lucky on.

[foodienerdy]

Yes, I just emailed them and found out that my MCAT score is expired . I took it on 7/31/20 and the cutoff for fall '23 matriculation is August '20 so I missed the cut off by ONE DAY. FML

 

[superdesperate]

MCAT bros just posted that someone got an II for PCOM-PA!

 

[taguylla2]

Anyone know the PCOM-PA post interview acceptance rate?

 

[drdudedo]

Anyone get an II on here?

 

[Doctor.apply]

I have become interested in PCOM, is it too late to send an application?

 

[Dr. Zezima]

I have become interested in PCOM, is it too late to send an application?

i wouldn’t say so. they haven’t really sent out many (or any) II yet, so it seems to be early in the process for them still

I was gonna say I never got any sort of complete email lmao

 

[dullprocedure]

Yeah, I never got a complete email either…anyone know about this?

 

[drdudedo]

I don’t think they do. I think they mean the confirmation of paying for the app

 

[internally_brilliant]

Did you guys all get emails for II?

yes email for II and i never got a complete email

 

[sw2090]

I attended one of their info sessions and they mentioned they don't send out complete emails
