I interviewed after that, so does the next adcom meeting happen 2/15?? Is it only once a month??
who knows...damn it. i should of lied on the size question in my aacomas app. hahahaha
Any feedback, advice, and shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. ANd how long it took for you to hear about decision. Thanks.

any interview invites recently??
How are the 3rd and 4th years structured at PCOM? Are you on your own or do they set things up for you?

i haven't heard anything back from pcom...should i give them a call or just keep quiet for now?
Does anyone know if PCOM would let a student take leave for 3-4 years after the second year to get a PhD? I am looking into different DO/PhD programs, and I saw a DO/PhD program for Health Policy, but I want to get one in a hard science, which they don't offer. I want to go into medical research, and I know many of the MD schools encourage and let you do that for a PhD (if you're not in their MSTP program already). Do you know if they have done that in the past or what their policy is?
They have a hard science PhD? I couldn't find it on their web site, can you provide a link?they now offer the hard science phD you actually have to apply for it before you get in to pcom. Pcom also havs a 7 year graduation policy (you must graduate in 7 years).
Bump... I'm hoping I can beat the odds for that 3% out-of-state interview chance...
wow I had no idea it was that low...is that 9% of all who are interviewed or 9% of all applicants?
I am confused about this too. They are a private university, and there is nothing in the mission statement about specifically producing physicians for the state or local area. However, the instate acceptance rate is about 42%. Perhaps a current student or PA native could clear this up.
PA has a big problem retaining doctors in PA. Due to ridiculous malpractice costs, a lot of doc's (even local ones) are packing their bags and leaving. I think it's something like 6-8% of the doctors that go to school in PA (2nd highest number of medical graduates per year) stay and practice in PA. It makes sense that PA schools, private or public, would want to train those who are most likely to stay and practice in PA. Check out the house bill 1093 for something interesting to talk about in your PCOM interview.
Dear sir (or madam) you speak lies. Accordding to our beloved govenor there is no crisis of doctors in PA. The number of doctors has remained the SAME the last two years because we are graduating more doctors than are retiring or leaving and just because we have the oldest average age of doctors in the country means you get more experience. I mean how can Ed be wrong, i mean trail lawyers are his biggest campaign contributors not like they have a stake in this.
it's in jest i believe.
Does PCOM give out interview invites once a month? I have been complete since mid November and have not heard anything from them yet!
Has anyone been invited to interview recently? And if so, when were you complete??
I was complete in early september, and didn't interview until mid january. The admissions office seems somewhat slow in offering interviews, so just sit tight and your invite will probably come within a month or so. Best of luck to you!
So.....How YOU doin?
Sorry bored at work today
i believe people begin to lose their sense of humor the further into application season it gets...hang in there crew!!
p.s. PA malpractice laws suck. I won't be staying in the state if i can help it!
I knew malpractice was a huge issue in our state, but not as large as it really is. I got this site from a fellow user's sig: http://www.fightingdocs.com/.
Its digsuting the amount of physicians we have lost.
hey I have a interview at Jefferson in Philly on Wednesday. Anyone have luck calling the adcom office and saying they are going to be in the area to request a interview? I know i am complete and "should" have the stats to get a interview neways imho.
Be CAREFUL throwing around stuff about the admissions office being slow. The average DO school receives between 2 and 3 thousand applications. PCOM received more than 5300 applications last year, and has surpassed that total this year, making it the most competitive, applied-to osteopathic medical school in the United States (and in the world). Combining the applications to PCOM and PCOM-Georgia, the two schools receive approximately 8000 applications total. They have a big job to do. Be patient and update them frequently with letters of update or even a letter of intent if you would attend PCOM over any other school.
Just got a PCOM invite today!!!
