I sent in a secondary to PCOM and never heard back from them. I know they have finished interviewing, however, I recently found out that a family friend graduated from there and she has agreed to write me an letter of recommendation. I'm not too sure how close she still is with the school, but I'm thinking it couldn't hurt. Do you still think they would consider me even though they've technically finished interviewing?

I just got an email from PCOM saying they are done interviewing. Sorry to disappoint. (hmm, maybe it's just me they don't like 
)

My advice to you would be to focus your energy for next year, unless your family friend has some serious connections or affiliation with the school. Focus on your weaknesses and improve your app. Also, you are offered the opportunity to meet with an admissions counselor to find out what needs to be improved in your application. Like others have said it can't hurt to send it in this year, but dont get your hopes too high. Good luck.
