Isn't it weird that you send both secondaries to the same place???

PCOM-GA does not have a separate admissions department yet.

Aye, and I believe decisions are still made by the committee in Philly. I'm not really sure what role the GA interviewers play, though.

I'm going to GAPCOM this fall so I am familiar with the process, and like Elmer said above, they do not have the capability for a separate admissions department yet. They are just now moving into our new campus, so I would give them another year or two to get all the departments finalized. And while you are sending all your forms to Philly, the interviews are still done in Georgia by Georgia physicians and faculty. I was interviewed by a DO and one of the new professors. Therefore, the decision to accept students is coming from the people in GA. Hope this helps...

No, I don't believe it is. During my round we were informed that the interviewers made recommendations and each applicant was sent to the adcom in Philadelphia, where the final decision was rendered.

We were told it was up to a vote. If the two interviewers and Dr Evans all agree, the acceptance was sent the next day. Otherwise, PCOM-PA makes the final decision.
