Members do not see this ad.

I just received my letter in the mail today saying that they are "extending an offer of acceptance" !!!

It actually came by 2-day rush FedEx! Has anyone else heard from them yet?

Well congratulations! I got my acceptance to NECO last week, but I decided to go to ICO instead.

If you don't mind me asking...What did you like better about ICO?

Well a major part of my decision involved the fact that I live in the Chicago-land area. Beyond that, I found ICO to be much more convenient and had more "bonuses". At NECO, they do not have their own clinic, and depending where they place you your 3rd year you may have to commute up to an hour away. Also, relating their clinic system, you really don't know what you're going to get. On the tour they show you one clinic (which also happens to be their newest and probably nicest), but I have no idea what any of the others look like, and there are a lot. I did think that the actual school and location of NECO was much better than ICO, but that's really all I found to be better. ICO has the residence hall and meal plan, which I consider "bonuses", and also a fitness center. Granted, NECO does pay for a YMCA membership, but the students I spoke to said they don't really take advantage of it because it's out of their way.

I guess those were the main factors in my decision. I think the cost-of-living in Boston is slightly higher than Chicago, but that didn't influence my decision. In terms of level of education, I think both ICO and NECO are comparable institutions that both have excellent clinical experience.

I applied the last weekend in September and received a letter in mid-October when they first started sending them out. Hope this helps. Good luck!😀

I applied the first day the app was working. I received my interview invite in mid-october. The interview dates were the entire month of Nov. They may have a second round later on. I would call them to make sure they didn't lose anything. I called and they told me my invite was in the mail. Good luck!

Yep.... I got accepted on the 22nd as well... but I also got into SUNY and am anticipating PCO ..... and I just got an invite for an interview to Indiana... I dunno what school to go to... ideas/comments anyone?

 

[optEXTREME]

i just called NECO and they said they sent out an invite! woo

 

[JackCM]

Did NECO call anybody? I didn't have my phone today but they called and left a voicemail for me to call back and now I want to know why they were calling! I have to wait until tomorrow to call them since they are closed. I guess they probably wouldn't reject someone on the phone, but I don't know what it means.😕

 

[charmed]

Hmmmm....I don't know why they would call you! Maybe if your application was missing something? Do tell, when you find out! Good luck.

They wanted my AP scores for calculus... I didn't realize they needed that and they had originially told me that my application was complete. Oh well! I did well on that test so hopefully that's a good sign! 😉

 

[KASALAPIC]

they called me two days ago to ask if i took my OATs yet.

 

[mtrlOATgal]

wow that`s so great! they can`t wait to accept you! They called!!!

 

[KASALAPIC]

Actually i had like 3 missed phone calls, about 10 min apart and a voicemail, i was very suprised. They really must have wanted to talk to me.

 

[JackCM]

I hope they accept me! Then I'll have to make a decision, crap.
