PM’dFrom what I understand she wanted to focus more on clinical practice.

Aww congrats to you!! I’ve been watching your journey silently from this thread. I was sad to reject my ICOM A as well, but I got in somewhere much closer to homeWill be withdrawing my A here as I was accepted to another school at a place I could not refuse. With that being said, I went to two admitted student events for ICOM, and I will say that those who enroll here are in good hands, despite it being a private school. I posted this on another thread and will post it here as well:
About to start school here, I am very bullish on the school and its future, at least for a DO. The building is awesome. The culture at admitted students day was tight-knit and had a sense of community feeling.
The anatomy lab is amazing!!

Also, there is steam gaining about ICOM becoming a public med school, which would mean cheaper tuition, eventually a teaching hospital, and likely residencies, so if you are trying to buy stock in a school while it’s low…….
Here are some articles on the purchase. The state seems very invested in making ICOM a state school.

Lastly they placed decently this most recent match: 2 Urology matches (one at the Mayo clinic in AZ) 1 ENT match, 6 Anesthesiology matches, 3 DR matches, 1 vascular surgery match at UC Davis, 1 dermatology, 2 Orthopedic surgery matches (one at the Cleveland Clinic Akron General, and another at Colorado).
Meridian/Boise has a lot going for it as well. The area is growing, lots to do outdoors, and nice restaurants. I had preconceived notions about the school, but they have and are taking lots of steps to improve. Very little/no competition for in-state hospital sites. Throw an app in and give them a shot. I’m happy I did.
If anyone has questions, feel free to message me.
Congrats!! Did they say if the Fall 2025 class was full yet?Wow I just got an interview here next week. I was 2026 cycle but OCOM surprised me with an interview for Fall 2025 so I reached out to a few schools.
Congratulations! Did you mean 6/23? 6/30 hasn’t happened yet hahaOOS A from 6/30 interview! They do have seats ha
Haha no worries, good luck on the ACOM interview! That’s amazing that you had such a quick turnaround with your ICOM acceptanceThanks I have an ACOM interview 6/30 and got confused lol
I got an OOS A and wanted to join the ICOM GroupMe, does this link still work? It has said pending on my phone since yesterday so I wasn’t sure if I just have to waitYou're invited to my new group 'ICOM Class of 2029' on GroupMe. Click here to join: ICOM Class of 2029

I think it’s moving pretty fast now. Just declined my A from the WLWhat are we thinking for WL movement? I know someone who was told they were #1 on the WL so in theory they would just need one seat to open up.
Hi! I interviewed late in the cycle (June) and I’m on the WL. At this point would you say there is still good movement?All seats for the upcoming class have been filled at this point. There is A LOT of waitlist movement at ICOM though so you’ll most likely get the A later in the year. Being on the WL this early is a great place to be. Keep your head up.
