Is there a facebook group for PCOM PA Biomed 2015-2016?
I'm so confused. Who is going to make a decision after you finish? The school, if so why are they waiting? When you say you heard back exactly what do you mean?!
PCOM PA is going to make a final decision and honestly idk why they're waiting, i guess maybe to see how i do in my finial grades. And when i mean heard back, i was referring to receiving my letters from both schools.
Are you talking about because they mailed letters Friday and that's when the mail should have them there??Do you mind me asking your stats? I'm supposed to hear back today or monday from GA PCOM and I'm so nervous lol

Did you find out?Ya that was my line of reasoning. I'm like 30 minutes from PCOM GA so I figure if they mail it Friday I should get it by Saturday or Monday at the latest.
Yeah no prob, i was the one who went to Penn State for undergrad, 3.4 cgpa, under a 3 science gpa and a really low GRE score (I'm considered educationally disadvantaged since english isn't my first language so i think they gave me some leniency.)Do you mind me asking your stats? I'm supposed to hear back today or monday from GA PCOM and I'm so nervous lol
mApplied to the Philly campus and received a letter today about deferral. Seems to be a common theme with this campus however, they didn't say pending any other documentation but simply stated that the committee will review my application credentials from time to time and I will be notified once a decision is reached. Would anyone be able to shed some light on this?
I'm just wondering if they send out any denial letters or if it's either you get in or you get deferred for right now...anyone know?I just got the same waitlist letter from philly. I don't even know what to do but waiting for the GA letter to see what happens.
Did you find out?
like an actual rejection or the deferred thing people are talking about? I still haven't received a letter yet. Any reason given?Got the rejection letter today
Sorry to hear about the death. My mom passed away March 1st of this year. Very recent. So I understand how hard that can be and how it can affect you. Your MCAT is way better than mine and its strong. Not sure exactly what they are looking for when they choose candidates. My science GPA is a 2.9 I believe, and overall might be 3.0. So we will see how that works out! Good luck to you! I have an interview for another program so I'm hoping that goes well! Didn't know Georgia state had a program! Maybe I'll look into that!No worries... 2.5 GPA, even lower sGPA (extenuating circumstances including death in the family and having to take time off) and 30 MCAT (08 PS, 12 VR, 10 BS). Seems my GPA is just too atrocious. Oh well it's not the end of the world. The way I see it, I'm getting into medical school so if they don't give me a shot it's their loss! Going to apply to GA State's program if they every get it up and running and apply to Barry U and some other programs.

I'm sorry to hear that :/ it's all for the best. What is meant to be will happen!Got the rejection letter today
You got into a program at drexel?I'm very sorry to hear about your mother... They say people who've experienced loss make the best doctors. As with actual med school admissions I'm sure the GPA component is by far the most important. MCAT scores can be improved. GA State has a brand new program they may not even be up and running by Fall. I've heard horror stories about the inefficiencies and disorganization of new programs, but hey gotta start somewhere! Going to apply to Barry U and Hampton and if I don't get in either then Drexel it is! Taping this rejection letter to my room wall as motivation. Good luck everyone!
I'm sorry to hear about this! :/ I'm sure things will work out in some way! This makes me really nervous because I received a waitlist letter and my GPA is around 3.0ish both cGPA and sGPA but your mcat score kicks mine out the ballpark.Got the rejection letter today
You got into a program at drexel?
That depends on your definition of "got into". I applied to the IMS and was funneled into the mandatory 2-year IHS program, which is like the remedial IMS lol. In the first year you take some graduate level science courses to prove you can handle the curriculum (I already know I can, just a matter of being mature and putting in the study hours). The second year of the program is identical to the IMS minus the immunology option and, consequently, the guaranteed interview if you meet a certain GPA req. I feel like it's a program where you get what you put into it but if you bomb out they don't give a ****, still make their money, and don't tarnish the stats of their premier programs. Also I'm currently applied to the drexel DPMS, but seeing as I was funneled from IMS and rejected from PCOM'S program, I seriously doubt my chances.
Still no letter, maybe today... lol
What state are you in?I feel like today's the day too lol
What state are you in?
Lol just because they made decisions Friday doesn't mean for our applications lol because I didn't get mine either and I should have. So yea I think we'll have to wait :/I officially think my letter is lost
Yea I'm just worried because I got deferred but it's not like I have anything else to send in since I graduated last year and won't take my mcat again till the Summer :/ I would rather be rejected than get false hope then rejected lol the limbo period really sucks. Not knowing! :/I'm sorry to hear about this! :/ I'm sure things will work out in some way!

Oh ok yea maybe you could call again? Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday for you! They may have sent it out late Friday and idk how long it would take to get to Texas, you should google it.Well I was told via email it was on review April 1 and would have a decision in 2 weeks
Yeah I am basically in the same boat as you lol except I am taking a few classes this semester so maybe they are waiting on that for me? I have no idea since they didn't mention it in the letter. I'm waiting impatiently too but hopefully things work out for the best for the both of us! Did you apply to other post bacc programs or just pcom?Yea I'm just worried because I got deferred but it's not like I have anything else to send in since I graduated last year and won't take my mcat again till the Summer :/ I would rather be rejected than get false hope then rejected lol the limbo period really sucks.

Well that's good that you have that lol but like you said they said no further action is needed so it's not required but Ateast you have that to help you. And kt to drexel DMPS because those are the only ones I wanted to really go to and saw worth the money but now I'm regretting it. So I think I'm going to apply to some more not to put all my eggs in one basket.Yeah I am basically in the same boat as you lol except I am taking a few classes this semester so maybe they are waiting on that for me?

What about you?Well that's good that you have that lol but like you said they said no further action is needed so it's not required but Ateast you have that to help you.

Exactly so now I'm thinking of calling them (if I can find their number) to see if the waitlist is pending anything or just as they review other applicants. DMPS is a good program from what I have heard! Did you hear back from them? I applied to a bunch of others. So far I got into LMUDCOM PMSP program and waiting on a few others like VCOM, Nova, Rowan (no linkage or anything or sort with this school). We'll see how it all works outWell that's good that you have that lol but like you said they said no further action is needed so it's not required but Ateast you have that to help you.

Got acceptance letter yesterday to GA. I'm in Texas and the mail is super slow here.
For those of whom completed their application at the end of March/early April (or even earlier than march) to Philly campus, did anyone receive a letter of acceptance/wait-listed/rejection yet? Are we suppose to receive only a letter or also an email?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
