CCOM Interview Discussion thread
Started by mshheaddoc
Midway is FINE.
Make that three votes for midway. O'Hare is a monster. Even though it is geographically closer to Downers Grove, it would probably be a little easier finding your way around the airport itself. The hotels near Ohare are a little better though.
After the admission people talked and the dean talked, and so many students walked in to wish us luck, I honestly had no more questions. They answered everything before I got to the interview. I saved a few for them tho 👍
sorry for posting what you already said.
Saw yah... I think. Did you interview right before me?
It's all good. I was talking about another school anyway. I am still hoping for a CCOM interview.
You're not late, they're just starting their interview season. I haven't even gotten my app out yet (waiting for AACOMAS now), and I'm really hopeful for CCOM!

The I-88 Construction has gotten much much better! You know once that they finish, it will be time to start again though, that's just the cycle out here! Now, it's 294 that is a wreck! I had to go to park ridge, and it took me over an hour to go about 6 miles in that crap!
So, those of you coming in from O'Hare (or Midway really), plan some extra travel time for our crappy construction. Also, stay at a hotel near the school! There are a ton to pick from, and you can check out the area!
I just wish there would be a time, even if it's just a week, that there was no construction on I-88. It's bad now by Naperville since they're widening the road.
When people ask me about the harsh winters living up here, I tell them we actually have only 2 seasons here - winter and construction season 😱
Lol Sooooo true!
I just want to verify - interview decisions are going to be made mid-Oct. right?
"You should hear back mid to late October"
Thanks guys. I thought so, but when I went to check my notes from the interview I didn't write it down.
Now, come 10/15, I'm going to be sitting in front of my computer biting my nails all day.

Yes they do notify via snail mail, but they do call some people each time. Last year they called a few of us in my group and mailed others, so you never know.

Dear Lord let the post not be delayed and my phone working properly.......
Acceptance decisions will be made mid October for those who have already interviewed. I don't know about the non-SDN world but I don't believe anyone on here has posted an acceptance for CCOM yet.
Ditto...and megboo, zipmedic, and myself were there the first day of interviews. No one has been notified as of yet. The waiting game continues. tick-tock.
I was on the third day.
Thanks Marcia!
I'm getting more and more nervous now that Oct. has finally rolled around!

There -should- be a scary face next to St. Bernard's. We call it "The barnyard" for a reason.
It is all D.O., and it's the nurses -- not the physicians or students -- that worry us. From a medical student's perspective, especially those interested in EM, it's a great rotation. They see a TON of trauma and interesting medical cases.

😆 I was trying to not go there. You never know who's reading these post. I really want CCOM to call me in and the last thing I want to do is to insult an affiliation.
I was going to use "The Barnyard" nickname but unlike you I was too chickenbleep to say it.
Good Stuff
I'll take anything CCOM throws my way!
Anyone know when the adcom meets yet?
Can you tell I'm still neurotic about CCOM? 😱

Back atcha!
I vaguely remember them saying tuesday of this week...but by no means quote me on that.
They told us at the interview that it would be at the end of the month and that we could expect a letter the first or second week of November.. Just what we were told
When did you interview???
When I interviewed at CCOM on the 9th of October, they told us that we will hear back by the end of October the latest. They said that they were meeting this week for decisions. I also asked Mike if we could call and ask. He said they weren't sure if that would be allowed, but trying wouldn't hurt. So, I am going to call them this week on the Wednesday or Thursday to ask. GOOD LUCK to you all.
Sounds like a plan... I think I'll do that too.
I interviewed on Friday (the 12th)
