[Sasuke_Uchiha]

Dropped my A. Good luck yall.

When did you receive your A? Was it recently?

 

[wayshegoes]

Withdrew my A from January just now via the portal and received automated confirmation. Hope it goes to one of you. Good luck everyone regardless of what is next.

Anyone have any idea of waitlist movement? Seems like there hasn't been any all month

 

[chipandputt]

Any waitlist movement? Waitlisted 2 weeks ago

 

[mochicat]

Does admissions send out any responses on weekends? Have an acceptance at a different school due this Sunday 6/1 and it’s already nearly the end of the day today with no news of WL movement. Wondering if I should wait it out and take my chances to see if I get off the WL this weekend lol

 

[heythere222]

Has anyone on the waitlist tried calling admissions for an update? How did it go?

Wondering how this played out. Such an unfortunate position to be in; what did you do?

Had to put in my deposit and acceptance for the other school. Might be wrong but heard PCOM starts classes June 30th so I assume orientation is the week before which is three weeks away 🥲 Too short of a time crunch

Is that start date for new students or continuing students? Online it’s confusing saying continuing students start early summer while “many new students” start fall 2025?

Just got accepted from the waitlist! so so happy

So so happy for you! Did they call email or was it on the portal? Also did you do anything to speed up movement?

^^ congrats! Also wondering if emailing or calling helps

I got an email like an hour after checking my portal and seeing nothing that I had an update and it was there! they also called me shorty after that. I sent two letters of intent, one before I was waitlisted and another after being on the waitlist for a few weeks because I had accepted a seat at another school in case I did not get into PCOM and wanted to make sure they knew it was still my top choice since they can see when you are holding another seat.

No idea I was also confused. I think I saw someone say the June 30th date on reddit

Congrats! How quickly after you sent the letter did you get accepted and when did you get waitlisted? Thanks

Also, second-year students are returning at the same time despite starting much later last year, so they are missing out on most of their summers.

I interviewed 4/2, sent first letter 5/5, got waitlisted 5/14, send second letter 5/26, accepted 6/3.

did you do anything that might've fast tracked this? Like email or call

 

[livvy567]

WL 5/14, just checked my portal and my status bar has changed from having all 7 bars filled to a completely different bar that is color coded and now has an extra tab not filled in that says “Confirmed! Welcome to PCOM”. wondering if the site has just done some updates or if this actually could mean something?

I sent two letters of intent (one before I was waitlisted and one after the waitlist, when I went for a campus tour). I just expressed my interest (repeatedly) and made sure to connect with AdCom reps on campus

Yea, it looks like they have updated the site.

 

[Futuredoc2792]

Yea, it looks like they have updated the site.What do we think it means? Did it happen to everyones portal?

 

[Sasuke_Uchiha]

Good question. Did everyone get an updated look?

 

[drbajablast]

IT'S OVER </3 hope my fellow 4 bar warriors got in elsewhere this cycle. congratulations to those that are starting in a few weeks!! y'all worked hard to get to where you are today

LM 80?

 

[mochicat]

Yes! Still on the WL so I don’t have the last bar highlighted yet as “Confirmed Welcome to PCOM!”

 

[MasterOogway]

LM 80?

81 specifically. I think I needed more non clinical volunteering from what I understood so I’ve done a lot of that in the past year.

 

[Sasuke_Uchiha]

Yes! Still on the WL so I don’t have the last bar highlighted yet as “Confirmed Welcome to PCOM!”

Same.

 

[mochicat]

Same.

Are you committed anywhere else?

 

[Mr.Robot]

Anymore waitlist movement?

 

[Sasuke_Uchiha]

Anymore waitlist movement?

Not yet. Hoping we get positive news soon!
