My guess is that because they need such a big class for FL campus (around 100 people) they need as many back ups as possible. I can’t imagine that going to FL with no financial / federal aid will be everyones first pick, from a financial standpoint at least (unless it is their only acceptance or they are paying out of pocket). Private loans are killer in the long run. They can’t be forgiven like with PSLF and super high interest rate + high monthly payments regardless of income. I unfortunately went through it so I know. Just my two cents!I’m confused why they’re still sending out II when there’s already a good size waitlist and not a lot of movement
Awesome, congrats!
What date do you have selected and were there different interview date options?
Do we think there’s still spots at NM? I put no campus preference and obvi I’ll take what I can get and ultimately just hope to be pulled off the WL, but I think NM would be greatMy guess is that because they need such a big class for FL campus (around 100 people) they need as many back ups as possible.

Is BCOM able to fill up the class in Florida campus yet? There is another new school OCOM near Orlando who had to extend application deadline from March 1st to April 12th and having a MCAT cutoff of 500. Why would a school extend application deadline this late in the cycle? Not sure if they may be able to fill up all 97 seats with that rigid requirement and No access to Federal loans. With a MCAT score of 500. folks can get an A in other DO schools with access to Federal loans I believe. I agree with futuredoctor918's statement "I can’t imagine that going to FL with no financial / federal aid will be everyone's first pick, from a financial standpoint".My guess is that because they need such a big class for FL campus (around 100 people) they need as many back ups as possible.

Agreed. with the financial issues and the fact that they are a new school, there is no reason for them to have an MCAT cutoff.Is BCOM able to fill up the class in Florida campus yet?

OCOM is ridiculous for having that 500 MCAT cut off… I guess they learned their lesson that it made absolutely no sense to do that as a new school!

there are 149 people in the FL BCOM discord. That includes a few staff and current med students (probably about 7-8), so closer to 141 students in the discordAnyone by chance know based on Groupme or FB accepted group(s) how many people are in the NM and FL campuses? (I know it actively changes, but I also can't find it unless they don't exist)
what is the class size for Florida?there are 149 people in the FL BCOM discord. That includes a few staff and current med students (probably about 7-8), so closer to 141 students in the discord
what is the class size for Florida?
Wait are we not expecting waitlist movement then?100. If there's 140+ on there then it's probably close to if not all filled already (the FL one, idk about NM)
I’m scared that they’re going to over accept and there won’t be as much movementI don’t think they would keep interviewing if they weren’t expecting movement. I get they need backups but the waitlist seems pretty decent sized already. It’s also odd that they have a class size of 100 but have ~140 students accepted. 🤔 Maybe they’re taking in more?
Wait, how do you know that the FL class is a 100? Did they state that during your interview?100. If there's 140+ on there then it's probably close to if not all filled already (the FL one, idk about NM)
I agree! It doesn't make sense that they have 140 students accepted if they anticipate to only matriculate 100 for the Melbourne, FL campus. Their NM campus size was around 170~ last year.I don’t think they would keep interviewing if they weren’t expecting movement.

Thanks for mentioning that! It’s sounding like 100 might be their minimum number of students to be able to inaugurate the new campus. At least I hope 😂I agree!

NM!Congrats! Was it FL or NM campus.
You should shoot your shot! Doesn’t hurt!Is it worth sending in my secondary this late in the game? I saw that they extended the 2ndary date till May 31st. I also called, and they plan on interviewing until May 31st. MCAT ~496
