Thank you so much for that. I got the delayed letter after my interview and was really bummed.
I think the comittee may be meeting today (or Wed?). We might hear back at the end of this week.
Good luck to those of you waiting!
Also, there was ample parking.
anyone hear back from the 3/5 interview day!?!?!?
will you please let me know on here if you hear from them!?!Nothing yet....from 03/05 morning session....I live in South Florida so it might be tomorrow....
Got an interview on April 2nd!
Congrats!!
Did you apply late or were they waiting for your updated MCAT scores?
I interviewed on 3/13. Still waiting on my mail... Ishhh. This is nerve wrecking.
What type of curriculum does PCOM-GA use? just lecture or a mixture?
Interviews end on the 2nd. Next Monday. They told me that they should be sending out everything within three weeks, so we should all know by the end of April. Good luck guys!
Will you please let me know when you get your mail?... Its tuesday and they mailed it early last week. Hopefully if we get accepted we have enough time to "accept" it. Ugh snail mail!Amen. I'm with you, broseph
From my understanding, they have an integrated curriculum taught through system-based learning. It's predominately lecture with some problem-based learning and clinical study. Hope I'm not too off track, but it's not 100% lecture for sure...thank goodness!
what do these mean?First year sections are:
1st term-SPOM
2nd term-CMBM
what do these mean?
It's systems-based, but it is mostly lecture with the exceptions of OMM lab, primary care skills lab, and anatomy/neuro labs.
How did you receive your mail so early? I still havent received mine and I interviewed on the 13th. Live in tampa, FL. Contemplating if I should email Trena soon.Something should be coming to you soon. I received a delay, postmarked 3/19. Received 3/20. Interviewed 3/12.
They are on spring break this week, so I was going to call back Monday to see when interviews end since they're still sending invites.
Thanks for elaborating and for the heads up! I kind of fell in love with the curriculum set up and 3-terms calendar. I hear they are enforcing their attendance policy for lectures. If you don't mind, what's the student consensus about that around campus?

Well they had told me that all letters were sent out, and that I should be receiving something, either a delay or acceptance I guess. I did email her today, and she said she would wait until Monday, so that would be two whole weeks I guess. Lets see, I just wanted to make sure I do not miss the deadline to "accept" it if I do get accepted.The only explanation is that I'm IS, and mail travels at lightning speeds in the metro area . I feel your frustration though, however, it's only been two weeks...that's not bad at all compared to most schools.
If you don't want to feel like you're hassling Trena, you could call the general line to the Admissions Office...maybe someone else around there knows when letters were sent out?
Thanks,just a little curious. When I was there I got the feeling that people don't attend lectures regularly and was then informed about the "change" in policy. I mean, it is super convenient to just play the lectures back at a later time, so it was no surprise that students often play hooky.
But yes.... man this process taught me how to be patient lol. You said you got a delay? Good luck! Hopefully it will good news for all soon (Even though that's too much to ask for)
Nah, it's not about skipping or being convenient. Some people go, some people don't. Students should do what helps them succeed. The students that just skip class to skip class and don't put in the time, don't do well. You have to be disciplined and do what work whats for you. Don't be mislead and think anything is easier...med school is tough
Woof! I will be stalking the mail man.... Do you know how the delay works? I read that interviews are over the 2nd, so hopefully everyone will know a few weeks within then. Yes, I am anxious, I feel like my interview was not that amazing as I had hoped it to be.. it was sooo short This is my first choice, so the wait is getting harder by the second :/Lol. I feel you. When you are expecting it, the wait is much harsher. It's a good thing she let you know something. They've been on point about that.
A certain school I applied to, which will remain nameless (ha!), hasn't sent out anything to anyone since January and gives the same generic response to any who call/email/visit to check in on their status.
But thanks for the luck! It's welcomed by the caseloads! And I most certainly wish the same for you! Let us know when the snail truck finally arrives!

hahahah... I hear you. Sanity? What is that? I lost that a long time ago when I started this process! Yeah, its kinda like you over analyze every thing that went "wrong." I dream about it too!!!!! hahahhaa poor subconscious! Yes!! I know!! can't wait till its all over, and we are ACCEPTED! #StaypositiveI have the same info as you on the delay situation, and I've decided to take the letter verbatim to maintain my optimism and sanity! lol About your interview, I'm sure you did fine. We were told from the start not to stress if it was short & not to get all excited if it's lengthy....that doesn't necessarily mean anything...they're trying to get a feel for who truly you are.
Thank goodness it's only a matter of time before all of this is over! Sigh..I'm sure going to miss dreaming about envelopes of varying sizes and colors and contents...NoT!
I spoke with Trena a couple of days ago and she mentioned that the decisions that were suppose to take place in the last couple of weeks had been delayed. Those people who received a delay/hold should be sent a decision towards the end of next week. Add in the fact that it may take longer for a mailed decision to arrive, I am guessing it'll be 2 weeks till we hear back. I think the reason for the delay might be that they have fewer seats left in the class and want to take into consideration all the late interviewers and the people that were put on hold way back at the same time as well as people who have been accepted but may not attend (to let seats open up).
Sigh, who knows what goes through admission committees' minds anyway?
you do mean the ppl who have gotten no decisions yet right? jwI don't pretend to have any insider information, but I will say that deposits (the big one) are due on April 15th. Some people will simply not pay them, without giving any written notice to the school beforehand that they are declining their seat. I'm sure the admissions committee anticipates this to some degree, so it might benefit you all that the decisions are being delayed. My logic would follow that more spots will open up after April 15th (when they have a clearer idea of how many people are currently planning on attending in the fall), and therefore seats can be allotted accordingly.
The waiting is terrible though. You guys definitely have my sympathies! Just keep your head up and plug along until this terrible process is over. Good luck everyone...I hope those that know this is really the school for them get that letter soon.
This is worse than the MCAT wait. I've been praying so much, I thing God is tired of hearing from me, lol. For the others that are waiting, do you have other acceptances or on waitlists? Does it make it any easier to wait, you think? My lease is up next month and I have to give notice by the end of the month. Wondering what to do.
Something should be in the mail by Monday. Keep praying. He is listening.
