Just looking at the stats of those with IIs, it looks like they're pulling the people with high GPAs first.

I really want to apply to this school, but I have a D in organic II lab and they have a no grade less than C rule. . Other than that my stats are good
3.45 sgpa
3.4 gpa
28 mcat
URM
Should I apply to this school? I have a full time job a retaking organic lab would be a hassle.
Almost all schools(if not all) have a no less than a c rule

I think most have a no less than 2.0 or 3.0 gpa in all pre reqs rule.
Either way I'd still retake it. But that's just me. I don't think CCOM will be very forgiving considering the large pool of competitive applicants that apply each year
For those of us interviewing in September, we should probably hear back about our acceptance status by beginning of October right?
I got an II yesterday and have a DO letter from an alum of CCOM.
I have an alumn LOR too, but no II 🙁 3.25s/3.22c/33Q.
...sigh....
story. of. my. life. 😴
Oh my goodness, yes. CCOM is tied for my top school, I keep checking my portal to see if an II has popped up.....
Same. Top choice for sure - I interviewed last year and absolutely LOVED it there. The portal has a permanent window on my computer (as does SDN) and both get refreshed quite often#OCD

whats weird about CCOM is that they sent out an interview request pretty much right after I submitted my secondary. I am thinking that maybe they don't screen out their interviews that carefully.

I think you're right. After checking out last year's thread, it seemed that they hopped around a bit... not really going by GPAs/MCATs or submission dates.
then it maybe not so good since it costs a lot more to interview around than to just submit the 2ndary and letting them decide from that..
i wonder if that means they interview more people than other schools that screen the 2ndaries.
Good to know. The first round went out last Thursday....maybe it's a Thursday thing? Trying not to psych myself out to soon 😳
This is the type of neurotic thinking that keeps popping into my head. I keep checking that portal every hour...sigh...
Officially on hold for interview, "Due to the large volume of highly competitive applicants, we have placed your file on hold. This simply means that while you are not invited to interview with us at this time, you are still under consideration for a possible interview later in the application cycle.""

Interview invite today! Scheduled for September 24th. Complete on 7/25/2012.

They interview about 600 people for about 204 spots. I don't know how those numbers compare to other schools though....
Congrats! You keep getting so many 😱 I'm jealous!
does anyone know how many acceptances they give out of the 600 people they interview?
Interview invite today. 27, 3.45c, 3.35s, 2 CCOM Alumni LORS. Sept 25th
Congrats! When were you complete?
7/14. Thanks, I'm ecstatic!
Sweet! Congrats! I'm still hoping they just haven't gotten to mine yet, complete 7/16. So happy for all of you that have invites already!
Crossing my fingers we're in the next batch of invites!![]()
FYI I booked a room at the Hyatt Place Chicago/Lombard/Oak Brook, a few minutes from CCOM, for my September 24th interview... it was about $130/night with tax included. I'm driving from Iowa and will have my car there so I would potentially be able to drive other people who end up staying at that hotel to the interview in the morning if anyone needs it. Let me know!
Good choice I've stayed at that place numerous times. Has a great continental breakfast! 🙂 👍

*squak of a loud speaker* ATTENTION. ATTENTION. This person rocks.
That's really awesome of you. With all the interviews you've been getting, I'm glad to know that you'll be admitted to a few places this year--because with that attitude, I know you're rocking those interviews. Way to go!
+1 I offered the same for Bradenton and Nova... why not, I have plenty of room in my car, plus makes it a little less nerve wrecking showing up knowing someone else (even if it's just been 10 minutes)
