I’ll be real, their interview process was a bit messy. The interviewer names were not given ahead of time and they even changed slots for people the day of. They didn’t have slides or anything just kind of showing us general PDFs when discussing curriculum and things like that. All the staff were super low energy and didn’t smile much. The student ambassadors were distracted a lot by I guess maybe their friends who were sitting with them as they were on the call. The whole process was super unprofessional. I asked where to find emails for thank you letters to my interviewers they said they don’t prefer that/give that out and that thank you notes are not required but if you reallyyyy want to you can email general admissions. Overall, bad impression of the place to be honest.

I personally didn’t think it was that bad. They’re not required to tell us who we’re interviewing with and the student ambassadors sitting next to each other and having fun showed me the students seem happy. I was more weirded out by the two interviewers in the same breakout room because it was really hard to make it conversational and felt very much so like a Q&A

Yea my interview wasn’t that bad. I was lucky and I was the only interviewee while I had two interviewers. It was very chill and idk if it’s because match results just came up when I interviewed, but my student ambassadors were really passionate and excited talking about what they did. Actually, the med student who interviewed me matched into anesthesia so idk if it was a marketing tactic but it was really exciting to speak with a student match who matched into a competitive speciality. I wouldn’t say disorganized but it was definitely very chill.

I interviewed 4/10, and I believe they said the committee only meets once a month and that we would hear back after May 1st.

Same I interviewed 4/9 and they said either last week of April or first week of May

 

[flightparamaybe]

Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent post-II?

 

[brachial plexus44]

Does anyone know if they accept letters of intent post-II?

During my interview session, they said they do.

[wonglife5]

This is going to sound so silly but does anyone know if CCOM gives a freebie bag for first years? Like for example I know western COMP gives an iPad so I just wanna see what this 85k tuition is paying for

MCAT 510 GPA 3.7

 

[aspiringphysician100]

Just withdrew my A here. Kinda bummed because CCOM is a great school but a little far from home. Hoping my A goes to one of you.

Someone here said they explicitly said they’re not interviewing people just for waitlist spots and that’s keeping me going

I recommend checking your portal. When I got my acceptance I didn’t get an email or any sort of notification. I just went to check my portal because I’m neurotic and bam there was an update letter.

 

[wonglife5]

Hi does anyone know if this school accepts AP credits for prerequisites? I couldn’t find anything on the website on if they accepting AP credits or not.

 

[aastudent]

Checked my application portal and got waitlisted today

 

[flightparamaybe]

IS WL from April 18th interview.

 

[monkeythief]

got waitlisted today as well

 

[aralynn0]

IS WL today too

 

[berryberryblue]

OOS WL +1. Has any one gotten off the waitlist?

 

[brachial plexus44]

+1 OOS WL

 

[monkeythief]

damn my heart sank with that update :/

 

[fluffyquail]

+1 OOS WL

 

[aastudent]

do they normally have a lot of waitlist movement? Doesn't look like it from last year's threads

 

[Premed Phanatic]

OOS WL just now

 

[doctorduke]

I thought this school ghosted me and I never received an interview, but I just received a rejection email (worded in a way that honestly hurt my feelings LOL). I wish everyone success and good luck!

 

[monkeythief]

does anyone know if committee will continue meeting once a month or more often since they are ending interviews on May 12th or 15th?

Hey! I was wondering how you knew interviews are ending on May 12/15. Did they announce that somewhere? Thanks!

 

[mcatvirtualstudy]

Yea, the day after receiving an interview I got an email that said that their last day was the 15th

did it say that you weren't in the competitive range of applicants? that's the one i got...

 

[doctorduke]

Yep, and told me to “take appropriate measures” to make my application more competitive

 

[tenma_dr]

If that's what they send everyone, it's a weird template to use for rejections... my MCAT score is far beyond average for DO

 

[Dully]

Does anyone know if being waitlisted is the same as being on the alternate list? Bit confused with all this admissions terminology lol

 

[flightparamaybe]

Yeah for CCOM, they call their WL the alternate list!

 

[MChivs]

Does anyone know when the first day of classes starts for accepted students?
