I think we are all on Facebook! 🙂
 
Hi all,

I was hoping to get your insight on VCOM vs. PCOM.

Pros and Cons, I am making a list.
Also, does anyone know if the VCOM and PCOM deposits are refundable and if the PCOM deposit is put towards Tuition?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hey everyone! I just got my acceptance so I'll see you all in August! Is anyone doing the summerstart program? I don't think I'll be going, but who knows!

👍 Welcome... a year from now we'll be wondering why we were so happy when we're getting our asses kicked as MS-1's (or OMS-1, w/e)

Looks like they saved a good amt of acceptances for late in the game. Doubt there will be many spots at the next adcom meeting...

Sending in the 250 as soon as I get home this weekend to read the letter! Then I'm taking a trip to Philly next week to check out housing... this is so friggin awesome.

Definitely sweet..
enjoy this and good luck with the apt hunting.
 
So where is everyone from... originally and undergrad...?

I'm a Penn Stater - I've been at UP for all four years - and I grew up near York (just south of Harrisburg).
 
i live in wilmington, delaware...but i've been in beautiful tampa, fl. for undergrad! i'm not sure how i'll like dealing with snow again!
 
i'm from baltimore, md. grew up in the philippines. i'm an island girl so the weather scares me. living in baltimore doesn't help, everyone panics when we get an inch of snow (like today!). when i went to the last luncheon, i almost died walking from the garage to the building. c-c-c-cold!
 
Hi I have a favor to ask of any MS1 or MS2 student who is reading this thread. I am currently an MS1 at NJMS and my gf was accepted to PCOM, "dockris", I am going with her on friday to see the school for the first time. She called the admissions office and they said they only offer tours are interview days and there will not be one this friday march 9th. If one of you is going to be around any time between 10-2ish on friday and are willing to give us a short tour please send me a PM. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
 
Hey!

To the MS1/2's out there, a mini tour would be greatly appreciated. I went on one on my interview day but am deciding on two schools right now (I think i'm leaning more towards PCOM) which is why I would like to visit the school one more time just to make sure. Thanks!

hey guys

For those of you who can access nucleus, could you do me a favor of looking up how many acceptances they have so far?? I have an interview coming up next week, and I wanted to see if if there is a likelihood to be on the waitlist than get accepted.

Thanks much and I REALLY REALLY want to be part of this class!!😍
 
I want to take it so I can try to place out...anyone know of classes in the philly area?

Does anybody know where I can find my student ID #? I looked every where, the binder, the Financial package, and Nucleus, couldn't find it.
 
Max: Business casual is perfect for the luncheon. That's what everyone was wearing at the last one. Have fun and eat lots of good food for me! Make sure to take a piece of cheesecake.. it was good 🙂

Worier: On nucleus, click the Blackboard icon. A new window pops up and there's a table on the left called "Tools". In this table, click the last link (Personal Information). Next, click the top link "Edit Personal Information". This brings up a new window with lots of personal info on you, including your student ID. Don't ask how I found this.. I must have been pretty bored one night 😳

At the late date its harder to get a spot just because there are fewer available. That being said they have a habit of overbooking the class so that they get all the people that they feel will fit well and then figure the rest out later. Its worked for them. Just go and do your best and things will come together.

Yeah I heard that they urged late-accepted students to seek deferrment last year...
 
what does that mean - seek deferment if accepted late?
 
hey guys! I applied to PCOM but I haven't heard back with an interview invite OR a rejection yet! It's starting to worry me! I go to Penn State and sent my deposit in at UNECOM but I'm still waiting to hear anything from PCOM... Does anyone know how late interviews are being held/how full the class is?
 
hmm so they have 40 spots available and this is the last week for interviews?! I guess its safe to assume that anyone who hasnt been invited yet isnt going to pcom right? Im going to nycom but a few friends were waiting on pcom so im curious..

hey sue1027, i'm kinda in the same boat. i have a deposit at another school but I still haven't heard from PCOM even tho i completed the supplemental around december. i've spoken to the dean of admissions and they did say they would complete interviews at the end of this month. a PCOM recruiter did come to our school today and she said the last time she was in the office (which was awhile ago) there were about 60 spots remaining. i guess 40 spots open now sounds about right then. she did say that there were quite a number of applications that still need to be looked at and that things are going quite slow and she doesn't think that they will be finished interviewing by the end of the month. anyway best of luck to you. hopefully we'll both hear something soon.
 
sorry but pcom claims that they end interviews this week.

Unless this is an exaggeration, I strongly doubt that they will be sending out further interview invites this application cycle... They already have a backed-up waitlist from what I've seen on SDN.

I hope this is misinformation and its untrue... best of luck with all of your applications.
 
Got in today! Was a delayed decision on December 20th and recieved the good news today!

Looks like I'l be joining you all. Can't wait to meet you!
 
Well, I went onto that facebook thing and I dont see anyone talking over there either. Maybe I broke my facebook.
