2024-2025 Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I've been on the WL for ACOM since March and I recently got an email that says the following:



Did anyone else on the WL get this email? Does "Highest tier of our waitlist" actually mean something?
I also got this email on 05/27 and I don't know if it holds much weight, but it would be great to hear back soon!
 
Is there an accepted student group thingy? Additionally, I've been searching for housing, but I'm unsure which places are suitable. Any recommendations would be nice. Would y'all recommend calling their office and asking if they have any general idea of where students stay?

Friend of mine said students stay in Magnolia, Dothan Farms, Arborgate, and Now193
 
OOS A from 6/30 interview with option to start 2029 or 2030. I turned it down for another early start school (2026 applicant). 517, 3.2 (3.9 DIY post). Hard decision, great school.

Hello ACOM Alumni and current students,

I understand that for each course/module/block, there are exams, quizzes, and homework assignments. All of these contribute to your overall passing grade. Will a research paper related to this subject also be factored into the final grade for that course/module/block?
Thank you for your input.[/QUOTE]

Most courses are purely exams. Others involve exams and TBL’s which as similar to quizzes (never more 2 TBLs per course). The only homework is in foundations, however that course has been changed to some other name but functions the same. The only other thing that foundations has is a research project. I saw someone else say it was easy however we got a new research director this year who has been much more articulate and in depth. Still not a horrible experience. And you get a research presentation out of it whether it’s a poster or a podium presentation.
