Has anyone who was waitlisted in December heard anything?
I feel you on this. It stings especially when you legit felt good about your interview experience. I just got a post-II R a few days ago, and I interviewed a week ago. Guess it wasn't meant to be, but on to the next. I'm holding another A somewhere else too, and it makes me appreciate how much they liked me to accept me. Wishing you all the best!post II OOS R today, interviewed mid-march; honestly shocked because I thought i knocked that interview out of the park. Happy to hold another A, but w/e...
As far as I know, there hasn't been a lot said about the new start times. However, I would assume it would be very similar to how most med schools schedule their classes throughout the year. In other words, PCOM should have two semesters (classes are currently given in trimesters for DO students) and a summer term that would be for students in other programs and other classes that DO students can take. I believe that once they begin using the new schedule, it should make the first day of classes be sometime in late July or early August, but that's just a prediction based on what has been said about the schedulecan any current PCOM students explain how the new trimester schedule is gonna work in the 25-26 academic year? does that mean you start in may??
I interviewed last week, but I'm still stuck at 5 bars: "interview scheduled". Anyone else have this experience?
i had this experience as well, it took about 4 weeks for it to move to 6 bars. currently still at 6 barsI interviewed last week, but I'm still stuck at 5 bars: "interview scheduled". Anyone else have this experience?
Although it is generally recommended to have one, you should be fine if you don't have one from a DO. One of my letters was from an MD and it didn't cause any problemsFor those who were granted interviews/accepted, did you have a letter of rec from a DO? I have three from MDs, as those are the credentials of the ones I work for. Is it the end of the world if I don’t have one from a DO? Trying to plan for the upcoming cycle haha.
None of my letters were DO and I still got an interview! (They were all MD or PhD)For those who were granted interviews/accepted, did you have a letter of rec from a DO?

You should absolutely reach out to them! They told me at my interview to reach out if I haven't heard from them in 6 weeks.If I interviewed on Feb 27th and am still at 6 bars, would it be ok to email admissions about an update, or should I just wait it out? I know they said a decision is made about 6 weeks from the interview date.
Yes, bar will move to 5/7 when you are invited for an interview and then to 6/7 when you complete the interview and are under final review.My bars have been stuck at 4 (complete and under review) do the bar move right when they invite you for an interview?
Congrats! At this point are all invites for WL spots? I'm also in the 4/7 bar purgatory like others on here lol for agesIS II earlier this evening!! The earliest dates available were the second week in May, but they had dates available through the end of May
I was looking through last year's forum and everyone who got II's were being considered for A's, even the people who got invites as late as JuneCongrats! At this point are all invites for WL spots? I'm also in the 4/7 bar purgatory like others on here lol for ages

Usually, you get a decision the next day through your portal. However, since tomorrow is a weekend, your official decision may not be given until next Monday. Nonetheless, the two dropdown boxes should indicate what the decision was7 bars today with two dropdown boxes now! Does anyone know how long it usually takes once you get to 7 bars to get your decision?
see the two dropdown boxes, too! congrats!! 🥳7 bars today with two dropdown boxes now! Does anyone know how long it usually takes once you get to 7 bars to get your decision?
You get an emaildid you guys get an email saying you were invited to interview or did you have to manually check the portal?
I heard it usually comes the next business day. When did you interview?7 bars today with two dropdown boxes now! Does anyone know how long it usually takes once you get to 7 bars to get your decision?
They said decisions take 4-6 weeks so I wouldn’t worryStill at 5 bars from a 4/4 interview .. anyone else?
I also was accepted with only an MD letterFor those who were granted interviews/accepted, did you have a letter of rec from a DO?

You should definitely prep yourself on having the answer for the most common questions asked in any medical school interview (e.g., Tell us about yourself? Why do you want to become a physician? Why do you want to come here? Do you have any questions for us?). Furthermore, as PCOM is a DO school, you will also need to have an answer of why you want to be a DO.anyone have tips for the virtual interview here?
are they still sending out II?
Doesn't their interview season run to june?
I thought I remembered something about June, but I could be wrongIt does? Their website said until March, and I know people here said it could run through April but I didn't realize it was June.
I saw last year's thread that someone got an II late May.Doesn't their interview season run to june?
are they still sending out II?
Kari said that they expect interviews to run through May.Doesn't their interview season run to June?
