my letters are in, where do we send them? I'm using Interfolio.
Click to expand...

Log into Interfolio and click on "New Delivery". In the "Institution" blank, start typing Campbell University. A selection for CUSOM will pop up below, so click "select" on it. Then click "add document", and add all your letters this way. Click continue and on this page make sure you select to associate an ID with your delivery. Enter your AACOMAS ID. Then pay for it. From my experience, they sent it to the schools the same day. :luck:
 
Is there a word or character limit for the secondary questions? Thanks.

Half a page.

I ended up with about a page for each essay last year, so I guess it is not a hard and fast rule. It probably would be wise to stay within the guidelines though unless you are really having a hard time cutting it down as I did.

Hey guys,
did anyone receive an email saying they were going to bring your application to the Pre-Screen committee for an in-depth review? 😕

I just got that email a few minutes ago. I wound up with a 3.13 sGPA and a 3.44 cGPA. MCAT was a 23 initially (10V/6P/7B), to a 24 (10V/8P/6B). Guessing the sGPA caught me.

Does anyone know the ranges of MCAT/GPA of accepted students last go round? Like 10-90th percentiles? I wish AACOMAS had a set up like MSAR

Pre-Screen committee? hmm... i didn't know Campbell has such a thing. I guess they are really evaluating candidates holistically.
 
I got my complete email the 19th, which is about a week after I submitted the secondary
 
Yeah, i'm excited...my wife is so pumped about the chance to live near hear family during school that she drove by the campus while on vacation.....she's in love and says it's pretty much exactly the setting I like

I love it here! North Carolina is one of the best states in the US to live in, and the campus is one of best ones I have seen. The faculty and administration here are so nice and always willing to help! All the classmates that I have met so far are cool, and they all love the area as well. I could list positives all day, but I won't. We start class here soon, and I can't wait!

Sweet!

Got my letters in, finally complete!
 
I'll add some formatting info too....basic one day morning to midafternoon schedule. It looks like the basic tour/meet and greet/presentation style stuff and 3 seperate short actual interviews. I read through last years thread and people were getting accetance calls two days after the interview so they apparently are very efficient about not leaving us stressing for long 😉
 
Once you get an ii, they also give you an online form so you can give a few quick blurbs about any additional shadowing/grades/info you want to add since submitting aacomas

Yep, this is true. They usually let you know within a week and sometimes less. For me, it was about 4 days.
 
Congrats to those receiving IIs and to those waiting, be patient and your time should come!

Just wanted to let you know that already this cycle CUSOM is up 40% in their number of applications in compared to last cycle. They are working hard to kick this cycle off smoothly but also keep in mind orientation starts in a week and lectures in a week and a half so things may temporarily slow down little bit. I tell you all this just to chill a little bit (I know this is hard) and remind you not to read into the delays 🙂
Good luck to all, we hope you come to see in CUSOM all that our class does in joining this young but exciting and strong program

What dates were you offered to interview?

Mid august....I'm not sure if that's the first week or if their will be others prior, but with the fact that they are about to start classes it's probably not before then

I am wondering the same thing...same vague answer he gave when he was coincidentally also the first one to get the VCOM-CC secondary (poor description too, by the way).

Haha, sorry for not meeting your standards of details...if you have a more specific question for me, feel free to state it
 
From the email I received it sounded like they were not sending them yet. But as one person has an ii I must be wrong. Hoping to hear from them soon! Seems they sent them out on this day last year.
 
Hmm I was hoping for a bunch of iis this week. hopefully we will have more luck next week :xf: :luck:

You're not wrong. Early August is what they told me.
 
Rejected. First of the cycle. 🙁

Really bummed, as I have good stats and extremely close ties to NC. I would have really liked to go to school here.

Hey, at least I received 3 II's before my first rejection. Good luck everyone!!

How did u find out?

Bummer well with so many iis so far I have a feeling you will end up having a great cycle

Thanks!! The rejection does sting a bit though, lol. I hope you have a great cycle as well!

I sent a reply to the email asking when I could call to find out more about why, so we will see what happens.
 
Got my complete email today. My mcat scores apparently weren't released to them so it was held up a bit. Hopefully get the invite soon, it's only an hours drive south of me.

I got another email today saying that they have reviewed my application but they have put it on hold pending my summer course grades. Weird, considering it's no science, just a couple of electives for my major.

Wow? Sorry to hear this but it sounds like you will be just fine with 3 iis already! Would you mind PMing or posting your stats? Just curious if they are at all close or higher than mine I'd be concerned (bc I haven't had any iis yet still completing secondaries)
