Still haven't gotten any love from PCOM yet 🙁 complete early September. Anybody have any insight they could give me? stats are 3.5/3.5 28O OOS

[skargylejohn]

Thanks! I hope so too.

 

[shibby1111]

I am non-trad OOS 31L 7v11b13p 3.5/3.5 bio/chem major, honors research, teaching experience, chemist for pharmaceutical testing company. volunteer in 2 clinical settings, non-medical volunteering. I am serious, reserved, and humble rather than bubbly, gregarious, and cocky. I don't know which set of 3 characteristics is better to have. The 7 in verbal is haunting. but i make up for it will a high level of scientific knowledge, common sense, good judgement, and an ability to have an intellectual conversation with someone. What do you all think? Do i have a shot, how can I impress the committee pre-interview and during interview (if i get one)?

I would follow up with them if I were you. It doesn't hurt. I have worse stats than you, and I've received and submitted my secondary (no word about an interview yet, though).

 

[PurpleMist]

Nov 19th anyone?

 

[aburnet2]

anyone interview on the 9th!? 🙂

I will be there and I am pretty damn excited lol. I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted by 3 schools thus far. However, none of these schools are in Ga which is where my entire family is. Needless to say, I believe this is my number one. Followed by a close second with KYCOM.

Plus I having an early thanksgiving with the family the day after my interview so I hope I can tell everyone how well it went instead of just moping around all day.

 

[Caitlin0206]

ii FINALLY for nov 19! i live in the area so im super excited! anyone else on the same day (9am)??

havent posted in this thread but ill be there on the 19th at 9 also! so excited! congrats!!!

[PurpleMist]

9AM as well! Excited, and nervous 🙂 Have you decided yet where to stay? I found the closest and cheapest to be Courtyard by Marriot, just 2 miles away I believe, haven't booked yet, but apparently they give you a discount if you tell them you are visiting PCOM

I got an interview for the 19th too. I booked at the Courtyard a few days ago. If you mention that you're interviewing at PCOM it's 75 for the room + 10 in taxes. I'm also taking Superior Shuttle to and from the airport unless I find a ride on here.

 

[hstone6]

I have an interview on Nov 9. Just wondered how long the interview process takes. I know they said it lasts approximately four hours, but wondered from those who have already interviewed, how long did the whole thing take?

 

[Night Hawk]

.

 

[hstone6]

How long was the whole day though? Including the tour and everything from the time it starts until the time it is over. Wondering what time I will be heading home if I start at 12?

 

[Poliscidoc]

.

 

[hstone6]

And you started at 12?

 

[Night Hawk]

.

 

[hstone6]

Ok great. Thanks. Looking forward to it.

 

[DrBumblebee]

I was done leaving at 2:15

Man, isn't it great!
But, we were told in the ii email that it would take 4-hours.
Did I know this, I'd have bought my return flight ticket at a little bit earlier time.

 

[aburnet2]

are you at 9 am or 12pm?!

I will be there at 9am. Got to drive like an hour and 45mins that morning from my hometown. I hope I don't hit much traffic lol

 

[Poliscidoc]

.

 

[DrBumblebee]

Well it can take that long if you were the very last person to interview, took a other tour, asked 101 questions, and stayed for a lecture. When I left at 2:15 there were 4 people left to interview.

I am thinking they say 4 hours so people don't get in a bind with traveling and getting tickets out of ATL so close that they miss the flight.

Did you envolve all of these and still were able to leave at 2:15pm?
