what's the average turn around between application complete and interview invite or rejection here?

Can't hurt. Plus, in the off chance that you get rejected, give them a call and ask why, then you can focus on that for next year's app.
Submitted Aug 18th
Complete e-mail Aug 24
Interview invite Aug 30
Online, the earliest I could get the interview was Oct, but I called and rescheduled for late Sept.
Accepted 2 weeks post interview.
But that's just me, not sure how representative it is overall.

Looks decent- obviously your ECs, etc play a huge role here as well. Worst case scenario: you get rejected, give them a call to ask why, and know what you need to work on for next year's app.
i was complete way back in July. still havent heard anything

Keep in mind that some schools fill most of their seats earlier in the cycle, and CCOM is a true rolling admissions class, so your best bet is to apply asap. An acceptance is always a possibility, but keep in mind, as you progress further through the cycle, more and more spots are filled, and even though you are a great applicant every month of the year, by February, they are looking for those GREAT people with fabulous stats that-lets face it-we all hate 
Some of my info:
Submitted Primary: 6/12
Submitted Secondary: 7/23
Invited for interview: 8/16
Interview: 9/16
Accepted: 9/30

The pen midwestern gave me just died. Horrible pen, horrible school, I've made my decision not to go.
JUST KIDDING!!!
JUST KIDDING!!!
Question for anyone who has time:
I see from CCOM's website that they request two LORs, with one being from a science prof if there's no committee letter.
I have a letter from a science prof and a letter from a DO but I really feel like the best and most helpful letter is one from one of my law school professors. I've known him for three years, I took four courses with him, etc. Is there any way that I can send 3 letters or will they automatically junk the law school letter because it's not a DO letter or science letter?
Thanks.

DMU's pen was by far the nicest I got....plus, they give you a nice folder, but Midwestern gives out rubber brains and hearts.....

hey, mommy2three, where do most students live? I would like to be around alot of students, but I refuse to live in the dorms.....do most students live in apartments nearby or do they commute from Chicago? How long do they spend on the road? (I know you said you have 2 places

Take a look at the Class of 2015 thread - Daisydukers did a nice spread sheet of the larger apartment complexes and also posted about some apartments in Downers Grove.
Some students live in the dorms, some in apartments/houses nearby and others live around Oak Park or Downtown. I think many like to live downtown during their third and fourth years.
The Metra train nearest to campus would be from Downers Grove if you want to head into the city on the weekend and don't want to drive.

Check out the DO for Canadian forum and compare your stats with some of us that have been accepted this year or previous years. Maybe that can help you find any weak spots.

If you don't send it in, bring it to the interview (sealed envelope, signed across the seal by the prof). I think that's the round-a-bout way of getting a letter in, but don't take my word for it. But *call them,* they are very friendly and will help you
I was rejected for two years. Third time ended up being a charm. If this is truly what you'd like to do, don't loose hope! Call them, find out why they didn't like you, fix it, and reapply!

Something about Accepted Student Checklist. It asks for deposit. Also makes the matriculation agreement available.
i was wondering if i had a semi-decent chance or no chance at all for getting an interview/potential acceptance to CCOM. I already submitted my secondary but havent heard anything as yet (its been about 2 weeks) how long does the process take from them receiving your supplementary materials?
i lived in the midwest, and i think i have okay extra curriculars, but im worried about my gpa and mcat score
cumm GPA: 3.6
sGPA: 3.37
MCAT: 26P (7V 10B 9P)
i volunteer at an osteopathic hospital.. currently im working on my masters and also working in a lab. i also have a primary authorship publication that was published in 2010
i would really appreciate any advice from anyone about this.. and also am i late in the application process? ive met people that have already had their interviews and people that are just getting their primary verified

Average MCAT score for students entering CCOM in 2010 was 28 and the avg. cGPA was 3.56. This will give you an idea where you stand in terms of numbers, although I'm sure people with lower stats get accepted every year. No one can tell you what your chances are for a particular school but you might want to call the admissions office and talk to an advisor.
For all the schools I applied and received interview invites, they usually got back to me within 2 weeks after submitting their secondary but this was back in mid-July.
Application season is defintely in full swing, people already received their acceptance, so again, your best bet is to call them and ask. Good luck.

I interviewed 10/23. Found up about acceptance online, and then like two weeks later got a letter (not sure the dates on these).
Yup, that's pretty much it.
Do you remember how long after you interviewed that you found out you were accepted (through the online portal)? I'm interviewing next week on the 25th and thought maybe my timing on finding out their decision might be similar to yours?[/QUOTE]
What I've heard from other ppl on here is the adcom meets the last Thursday of the month.. which would be the 27th for October. So potentially you could find out around then.. best option is to ask when you interview.
At AZCOM they changed the portal the same day the adcom met for ppl accepted, so maybe CCOM does the same.

This is how it worked for my group: Interviewed Tuesday, the adcom met on Thursday (the last Thursday of the month), and I found out via portal change on Friday morning.

I'm not sure if I should be amused or worried that CCOM keeps sending me reminders to send in supporting documents...

it might be worth a quick call to the admission office. it could be they have them and do not realize they have them or they could not have filed them yet. if you know they should be there, give them a quick call and inquire.
