How were you notified of your A? Did you get an email, call or a letter through the portal?

I got an email about the portal being updated, and the portal had a letter of the acceptance

 

[nmmmm]

Does PCOM accept Update letters?

Anyone know when they're sending out another wave of interviews? My app was finalized on Oct 16th and my portal still says "inital review". I have a parent in philly and this is my top choice :/

I submitted around then, and mine just shifted to the faculty review phase

Please help! I submitted my fee waiver and it was approved but I received an email saying my application is still incomplete even though I have all materials in. Do I have to manually submit payment somehow even though I have fee waiver approved?

I cannot find the option for that. Website is a bit clunky.

I would just call them. I had a similar glitch and they had to manually approve stuff on their end

With the December 14th deposit deadline coming up, I feel like there should be movement soon

Has anyone else been under "awaiting materials" for months even though in the section below the application status says "All required materials have been received."

I've just been under that "Operations and Applicant Review" since like July. They have flipped me into "Awaiting Materials" once or twice though for a couple days.

Hi yall, recently placed down the deposit and completed the technical standards form. Was just wondering if anybody has heard back yet about completing the background check or if that gets sent out later on.

I deposited over a month ago and still haven’t received anything about the background check. I’ve only received my login for the student portal/email.
