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 todo 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.
 
Recent ICOM graduate here. Happy to answer any questions future applicants have about my experience here through all 4 years. Starting residency soon though so might not be as quick to respond. @DoneDone3451 summarized everything going on at ICOM perfectly!
 
@FireBirdie curious if you can share more about your interview experience? What made it challenging? Did they say anything about turnaround time for decisions?
 
@greenvines4035 @A Cell on Sun Congrats! Sounds like the Accept/Reject answer is also super fast...if you applied in May was there any discussion about starting this Fall or was it purely for Fall '26? Thanks!
No discussion yet about starting Fall 2025. I’m still going to see how my cycle goes and Fall 2026 works better for me.
 
I'm feeling so behind compared to you all lol. I got the notification that my application was verified by AACOMAS June 13 and just yesterday received the email from ICOM that my app was fully reviewed and that interviews are between September 2025-April 2026

Me too - my email also said interviews are Sept-April

They only had select summer interviews for early, strong candidates. Now they’re just on the normal admissions timeline. TBH was crazy to hear from them and interview in June. Don’t fret— the waiting is the hardest part.
 
Do we have until December of 2025 to pay that deposit after receiving the admission? Will my seat be reserved until I make that deposit by December or should I go with deposit right away to reserve a seat. Thanks
 
Accepted! Class of 2030. 😀

@underdog170 less than a week from interviewing to hear the decision.

@A Cell on Sun I'm a bit worried about that as well. It's probably fine to wait that long but may be worth emailing to verify that the acceptance is "safe" until the December deposit deadline.

@svanderbleek Congrats and good luck with starting so soon!

If you email them, report back your findings. I’m curious as well
