Does anyone know how independent PCOM Philly and PCOM Atlanta are? Their secondaries are identical, so I'm thinking of using the exact essay, even the part of the question asking why I want to attend PCOM. How different are their curriculums and general school experiences? Thanks!

There is PCOM in atlanta now? Just how many COMs have sprung up while I've been on my away rotations anyway?

Yeah, Atlanta is opening next year... From what I understand from their material, none of their stuff is even done yet. They're still building, still waiting to get final approval. I wonder when they say 'Atlanta' if they mean Athens.... 😀

For those of you with PCOM interviews, are you all state residents? I was told that they start interviewing in-state applicants first. This was from a guy that I met during one of interview sessions (he was from Pennsylvania).

I noticed the people with PCOM interviews here are all from PA wondering the same thing, so that may be a safe assumption.

Is there anyone out there that is going to give PCOM Atlanta a "SERIOUS" look over or will this school pretty much just end up with the leftovers? It would be kind of exciting to be the "first class" of a school (but not so cool of a "branch" school as this will be). I would probably give it more of a serious look but my wife scoffs at such a thought, b/c of it being new and full of unknowns.
