Admission troubles.

So I applied last spring (super late) and got an interview with pco without takin the oat. I asked them at that time if I would reapply next fall if I would have to come back for another interview (5 hour drive) and they said probably not since I lived not too close. My app was sent to pco on 10/4 and I got another interview request through email. I called and told them of what I was told and said I would come interview again if needed. They told me the admissions commitee would look over my file and decide if they wanted me to come for another interview (this was on 10/12). I haven't heard anything from the school since. I called them this Wednesday and they told me to email their admissions. I emailed and have yet to get a response, so I am kinda nervous...

My stats if anyone cares

GPA: 3.7
OAT: 330 TS 330 AA

Your stats are pretty solid, why don't you try applying to other schools too? It's still pretty early in the cycle

PCO admissions does not seem to be very friendly... IMO, I would keep at it, if that is the only place you want to go. With your stats you can probably get interview elsewhere.

Thanks for the advice, I know you can add more schools for optomcas to send too but can you also add more LOR after I submitted my app?

I was able to.

I would think you should hear back soon. I am also a re-applicant. Applied late last spring. Interviewed at PCO in early April and was waitlisted due to the class being full.

PCO received my application on 9/27. Offered me an interview on 10/3. I emailed back to schedule the interview on 10/6 as I was out of the country. They replied on saying I did not need to interview again 10/8. I was officially accepted on 10/18

I have tried to call them approximately 7 times, but never got through. I find they answer emails withing 2-4 business days.

My GPA is lower than yours, and my OAT was a bit higher.

Hope you here back soon!
