I have a friend who had applied to Pikesville and just got a letter that said that the class year for 2004/2005 is now full and he would have to try again for next year. Hopefully everyone got in that wanted to from SDN.

ouch.....no waitlist...no alternative?


thats a little harsh and they should have just said you have been rejected instead of pawning it off on the class being full.

He interviewed late so I know he wasn't put on a waitlist. I wonder if that means the waitlist is full also?

point is...about now classes SHOULD be full.

Now it becomes a game of where people shuffle and move in regards to declining acceptances and waitlist movement.

I applied to PCSOM and I never heard ANYTHING from them other than to say my application was complete. Maybe I'll at least get that from them now. They are the only school that didn't send me a thing out of the four I applied to. The other three were acceptances and I already know where I'm going but I thought it was weird I never heard anything (I did call a few times too).

I had a similar incident from VCOM. I was called by the admissions lady to tell me that they wanted me to fill out a secondary, and I never heard anything else from them. Kinda wierd. Anyway, I am sorry that you never recieved anything from PCSOM. I am not for sure how PCSOM does thier waitlist, but one of the current students there told me that the class was full about two weeks ago. If you get accepted there, they inform you with 3 to 5 days of your interview. They told us during my interview that it is tough to get into PCSOM if you reside outside of the Appalachian region. However, several of my classmates are from places like TX, CT, MS, and MI.

It is hard to get hold of anyone in the offices at Pikeville. I know the financial aid officer is on maternity leave. I guess they stay very busy. Whenever I called the dean's office, they would usually get back to me within a day or so.

Hey Amy, did your friend get accepted anywhere else?

Hey Amy, did your friend get accepted anywhere else?

Hi,

Thankfully yes. He got into CCOM.

Hi,

Well good for him. Where is he from? As Aaron said, it is very difficult to get in unless you live in appalachia.

Yep, he is from Chicago, but has been living in Richmond, VA to finish his undergrad. His residency is in Illinois.
