If you accepted an interview invite and it was on the 18th, did you hear back yet?
Honestly if they’re doing late interviews like how they did it last year, there’s still a decent amount of spots left. I was applying for this current cycle (2024-2025) and did a late June interview and received the A for a Fall 2024 start but turned it down when I was having luck at other DO and MD programs (paid off with two MD As so can’t complain). After talking to some of the applicants from last year and this year, for these late interviews it looks like they’re going to be weighing the MCAT the most for a direct admission (believe everyone last year with a 500+ MCAT got a direct A) for direct As as long as the minimum GPA criteria is met (think it was 2.8 last year and 2.7 this year). The candidates who got WL’d received a guaranteed acceptance for a Fall 2025 start. Don’t know how they’re doing it this year but just wanted to chime in and give my perspective as someone who was invited for a super late interview last cycle. I hope this helps anyone who received this opportunity this cycle as well and if anyone has any other questions my DMs are open.
 
I did not receive it. Did people already interviewed and get WL by LMU and still received this email about interviewing on 6/18?
That is the boat I am in, WL at LMU and received the email to interview at OCOM 6/18.

My mcat was a 504 and gpa definitely met those requirements so idk. Tbh I don’t think schools value the mcat as much as people think.

I am sorry but I meant did people already interviewed and received WL by "OCOM" and still received this OCOM email about interviewing on 6/18? I did not receive it.

I did not receive it.

I was WL a few months ago and didn’t receive that email. I think that is for people who haven’t interviewed yet. I received the email asking if I still wanted to be considered on the WL

Oh man I’m super sorry to hear that :/ Last cycle they literally had a hard cut off of 500 and were scrambling to find anyone that met those requirements. Hopefully after what I think is the last interview day tomorrow, you hear back with good news by this Friday 🙏🫡

So is life lol. Nothing’s ever a sure thing. Still, I really do appreciate the kind words.
 
They got back to me. The admission committee is meeting next week and will have a decision by 7/4.
They’ll def get back to you well before July 4th lol. Can’t imagine people are gonna be in the office on the 4th so calls will probably go out on Tuesday or Wednesday if I had to guesstimate.
 
Depends are you a recent interviewee or a WL warrior? Believe someone said earlier that decisions would come out for the most recent interviewee group before 7/4 (so probably tomorrow because I’m assuming most people will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday). At least that’s how it seemed last year as well) Would assume WL movement would occur after depending on the yield they can get from that interview group. Just my working theory tho and if you want more information call the admissions office. OCOM has by far one of the most receptive admissions office compared to other schools during the whole admissions process.
 
Did OCOM hit their 7/4 projection for any of the 6/25 interviewees? Are we thinking Monday now? Radio silence on my end.
 
Yeah I'm not worried. I know other people who are WL and interviewed the same day though, they haven't heard anything either.
 
OCOM As dropped this morning, I got one and declined and my friend got one and is tentatively taking it unless they get off a WL.
 
I was a 6/25 interview, never on WL. And yes I was offered an A this morning.
 
Not much WL movement? Are we going see any waitlist movement soon?
I’d love to know! I’ve been on the waitlist since my mid November interview! They have always been my number one choice as a Florida resident!
