By location alone, I'd have to consider it haha.
Temple = questionable section of Philly
PCOM = suburban bliss 😉
Nope
QUESTIONABLE area of Philly??? Nothing questionable about it. Temple is in the absolute worst part of Philadelphia.
Now THATS true.
LOL I was trying to put it mildly so I didn't insult anyone with their heart set on Temple.
Do PCOM and Temple both utilize Geisinger for clinical rotations? I seem to recall a thread about this... maybe I'll try that search feature haha.
JP, have you ever rotated through York Hospital with PCOM? It's in my hometown and I was just wondering what that experience would have been like... I havne't ever volunteered there, although I did apply for an internship last summer (got rejected... they only selected 6 and 3 of them had doctor parents who worked there..👎 )
This is surprisingly common at PCOM. I know of at least 7 people in my class that did just this. PCOM had the better facilities academics and such.
Didn't mean to imply by my question that it would be an unusal choice. Was just curious as to whether she had already made that decision.
No. Snail mail. From what I've read, a small but thick envelope.

koennen, have you been invited for interview or are we both in the same boat...btw what were your stats again (if you don't mind me asking..)?
See you on the 20th then.
We use some of the same hospitals as Temple students...Geisinger may be one of them. We have several rotations there.
In fact, PCOM has an agreement with Geisinger where a 3rd year student can sign on to do ALL of their core rotations there and basically live there for the year.
Some other hospitals where we interact with Temple students: Abington & Northeastern.
I have not been to York myself but I know people who have. Smaller hospital but I cant recall any bad stories. York has at least one past POMA president that I know of and I think they have a few osteopathic residency programs as well.
We had a few in my class as well.
Keep in mind that there is an osteopathic hospital in York which is smaller and not the regional trauma center: Memorial Hospital. I've gotta say I am not sure whether I would be thrilled to rotate through there, but York Hospital is pretty nice. It's owned by Wellspan which pretty much has a monopoly on health care in the whole area.
hey, my friend had an interview at pcom last week and she got a phone call yesterday from pcom saying that she got accepted. So i'm sure the adcom met within the last week some time? maybe they will be meeting again sometime soon 🙂

Well, I just withdrew my application, so there is one less application you have to compete with. 😉 GOOD LUCK!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I didn't know they called people to offer admission. Seems like everyone else found out via snail mail.
By the way, sorry to hear you had the misforutne to go to Me-cheat-agin.
WE ARE ................ PENN STATE
they generally don't call unless you know someone at the school (faculty or such) and that person wants to give you the information.
yeah they got back to her pretty fast....hopefully they'll be calling more people these days 🙂
hahah, and i'm sorry that your football team isn't even ranked this year 😉
GO BLUE
True, but we don't rely on alumni refs making phantom calls/non-calls or adding non-existent time back on the clock for success.

congrats worier, see you next fall! =)
They do indeed tap the waitlist each year. Not sure how many but I know of people who were originally waitlisted.
I interviewed at PCOM in late October and got a letter that said they would wait to make a decision until my fall semester grades were released. I sent my transcripts from my grad program before christmas, and was told that my transcript was recieved sometime between christmas and new years. Does anyone know when the next Adcom meeting at PCOM will be held. I think the last one was around December 12. Do they meet once a month or every 3 weeks. Any info would really decrease the stress! Thanks!!
