Got the complete email July 14th and no word since...c'mon CCOM!!

Same here! CCOM is driving me nuts!

 

[DrMeows]

Haha thanks, Pusheen is the greatest!! I saw someone else on SDN whose avatar is a R2D2 Pusheen hahaha

If I could find a "Doctor Pusheen" I'd switch my avatar right away 🙄 🙄

This has been me checking for communication from CCOM for a week now:

+1!! For real. 🙁

 

[mommy2three]

i know it is easier said than done but take a deep breath and relax - i interviewed in late january and i think i am in a pretty good spot right now 😉

 

[BabyDoc86]

Just got my new MCAT scores, and they're higher! Already sent the update to AACOMAS, so it'll be a week before they're released to schools. Hopefully I'll get an interview from CCOM now!

 

[kes1320]

I was complete 7/9 so I doubt I'll be getting an interview : ( But now that I think about it, I think I accidentally uploaded the wrong resume that doesn't match what I wrote down on my primary application. Guess I was a little too excited...

Congrats!

I know what this feels like. CONGRATS!

Hey thanks! I could barely contain my excitement yesterday. 😀

So Amy at CCOM is the nicest person I've ever dealt with at an Admissions office. And the quickest to respond to emails/questions. So nice to deal with people who aren't snarky!

Agreed. She rocks. I probably sent her five bagillion emails and she's honestly never taken more than an hour to respond. Gotta love people like that! 👍

I had some convos with Amy too.
She is awesome!

I was complete in mid-July but still nothing from CCOM. 🙁 I have a feeling they're interviewing all the high GPA people first. While I wouldn't say I won't get a CCOM interview, I think it will come later in the cycle (like next year).

Yeah, my feelings exactly...

 

[BabyDoc86]

I've been complete for one month today & nothing from CCOM yet. But they did email me yesterday that they got my new MCAT scores, so I'm hopeful. Maybe they'll send out another batch of II's soon.

 

[kmb8]

Does anyone know how "closed-file" the interview is at CCOM? I've heard conflicting things. I've read that they only have your cv. Then I read that they have your cv and personal statement. Then I read that they have your cv, personal statement, and secondary essays.

Just wondering...

They haven't sent any out in over a week so there's gotta be a new batch soon!! 🙄 😳

Seriously.

That's what I'm hoping! My OCD portal-checking has reached a record high....

SAME I try to keep myself busy but for some reason my mind always comes back to "When's the last time I've been on the portal?". I think I'm going insane...

 

[zloy88]

I might do the 5th but I'd like to do it in the middle of the week if possible, does anyone know if they do interviews on days other than Mon and Fri?

I have one scheduled for Tuesday 9/25 so they do use other days.

 

[BabyDoc86]

Yep! I know it's bad when I check SDN again & it's only been 10 minutes. 🙁

 

[toxicwombat]

Need... Interview.... Invite.....

To add on to this insanity, I actually get a little nervous when I see someone new has written on this wall and I have no new emails. It makes me think for that split second new IIs are out and I didn't get one!

Like I said. I'm going crazy.

C'mon CCOM, please send another round of II's! *sigh*

Are they testing our patience? I know how to wait! I don't need a test!

 

[WorldChanger36]

Dont worry guys and gals she maybe slow to commit but she will warm up to us soon.

Has anyone, anywhere, heard anything from this school recently?

Been complete since mid-July with no love 🙁

Almost two weeks with no IIs given out (according to sdn anyways). Something has to happen soon!! 🙁

<---------- This.... Its coming ... We shall get our interviews

 

[toxicwombat]

So.... CCOM vs DMU? That is the ultimate question.

 

[NekoBeats]

The last invites to come out were on the 7th and the 8th 😕. If we go by the 2 week thing, then it's either tomorrow or the day after when we'll get some news, hopefully

I feel like that's a question a lot of people battle over...


Make a pro/con list I guess 🙄

I like your neurotic thinking Neko - makes me happy I'm not the only one 😀

The one that accepts you first is the winner... Hard choice though

Well said 😀

Of course I haven't been offered interviews at either school so I really shouldn't be talking...

 

[ModernAlchemist]

I don't appreciate CCOM trying to make that decision for me. I'm excited for my coming interviews, but an interview here would be awesome too.

Oh, you have no idea haha

True. Story. Mehhhh. 🙁

Absolutely. That would be tough.

 

[MedPR]

No love yet from CCOM 🙁 3.28s/3.26c/33Q OOS.

Yeah I've pretty much given up on this school.

 

[DrMeows]

Maybe we all should. THEN the IIs will come when we stop wanting them so bad. Reverse psychology 🙄 🙄
