Just got application update: WL. Interviewed 10/25. Honestly, I thought the interview went really well and was thinking I’d get the A. Disappointed… really hoping to get off the WL here! Anyone know the odds? Any advice for trying to keep yourself high on the WL?

Have you tried sending them LOI? That might help…I also interviewed on 10/25 but haven’t heard from them 😞

FWIW, I interviewed on 10/15 and was WL on 11/8. Like you, I also thought I had good shot at an A, though I was definitely a nervous wreck during the first portion of my interview before slowing myself down and ending on (I think) a strong note. I am IS with strong ties to the community PCOM serves, and I got an II within 1 week of submitting my app to them, which made me think I did something right. Maybe it's just copium, but everyone I've encountered who interviewed in mid October and later seems to have been unilaterally WL or R with no As. My guess is the class already filled up and they've been interviewing for the WL since there's reportedly a ton of movement as some candidates choose other schools and don't want to pay multiple expensive deposits. N = 1, but I submitted a letter of interest/update letter a few days after I saw the WL. Whether or not that does anything, I have no clue. My stats are very strong for the program, so that may ultimately hold more weight... I honestly have no clue what crazy mental calculus adcoms use to evaluate us. Honestly, I just sent the letter to give myself peace of mind by knowing I did what was in my power to keep the door open.

I just withdrew my A, best of luck to all on the WL and those waiting for an II, you got this!

Congrats on your As future doc! Your support means a lot, and I definitely appreciate your generous decision of withdrawing your A instead of simply waiting for the deposit deadline to elapse. I know not all folks with multiple As do that (for various reasons, some of which are totally valid!), but those who do withdraw their A sooner rather than later are real ones for shortening the agonizing wait for those in limbo to receive that final decision. Out of curiosity, are you IS are OOS for GA?

OOS, applied because a Doc I shadowed had gotten their degree from there and said it was a great school. I really did enjoy it and was considering it, but I got an IS A and felt like it was a better decision!
 
So I got an II from the Suwanee campus, but since the PA/Suwanee application was two-in-one, is the interview just for the GA campus or for both?
 
Anyone who interviewed on 10/25 heard from the school yet? I'm so anxious because some folks interviewed on 10/25 have heard from them already...btw, do yall know their post interview rejection/acceptance rate? tia
 
How long were your personal interviews? Mine starts at 10:40 but the interview day email says i should be done at 12:00 but does that mean my interview is going to be an hour??

If you are interviewing in person (as in my case), you do a tour of the campus, Q/A session, some campus information lectures, and the interview
 
WL 11/19 -- > A 12/19 OOS
withdrawing, hope this seat goes to one of you out there

Does anyone know when the waitlist is going to see more movement? I interviewed with PCOM-GA on October 4th, but was waitlisted November 18th.
 
I've been at 4 bars since August....Should I be concerned? Is anyone in a similar spot?
 
I've been at 7 bars for a couple days now and interviewed back in November. It's been well over 6 weeks, so idk when I am gonna hear back from them. I thought 7 bars usually meant a decision was made, so idk when they'll formally send the decision to me.
 
Also, is it too late to apply? I retake my mcat this week and want to attend PCOM. Just unsure if I should just wait until next cycle since it's so close to February
 
does anyone know about PCOM scholarship? When the information will be released?

Do you pass the deadline yet?

Application deadline is February 1st and app has to be completed February 28. But it feels rushed now for my LORs, even though I will reach out to my previous letter writers
 
Can someone who did a virtual interview describe how your experience was? My welcome session starts at 11:45a while my personal interview isn’t until 3p. Is the welcome session/q&a portion really that long? And is the personal interview just one faculty interview? Thank you!!
 
I just applied two weeks ago. I thought I submitted my secondaries (the single question) and paid the fee. Is it something else? I never got a confirmation email from PCOM.
