I applied to PCOM and CCOM in December. Do you know the estimated date/month of when I should hear back from them?

It's impossible to tell. The cycle doesn't end until May-June. I suggest posting on the school specific threads and asking whether anyone knows if classes are filled and calling admissions to ask.

You applied a bit late so now you just have to wait until the last day of interviews which typically is around end of march

I'm going to be a little brutal here. Most people usually hear back in a 1-2 month period. If you have not heard back in 3 months, the chances of getting an interview decrease drastically.

Also you're talking about two of the DO schools that get the most apps. Unfortunately that means you can easily be "lost" in a big pile of apps, even if you're a qualified applicant, especially with a late app. I don't know about PCOM, but CCOM accepts update letters. You could try sending something and see if it sparks an interview invite.

Hm... In August after you apply again?

Yeaa with PCOM and CCOM you are SOL. People with good stats apply June 1st and still only have a 50/50 shot at even hearing from those schools. PCOM in particular is just absolutely random in who they bring in. Better luck next year, apply earlier.

Yeah, at this point, it is too late. At least you submitted so all your AACOMAS stuff will be saved for next year. Even if you are 3.9/3.9 30+, two schools is not enough. After doing this process, there is enough randomness where applying to many more schools will be in your favor.

I applied PCOM way back in July, have not heard back a single word since. In fact if i do not hear anything till May, i plan to call to ask for the refund of my application fee since they obviously did not look or bother to reply back
