Had a 3.6 undergrad GPA but ended up getting my masters and had a 3.9 GPA, MCAT was not great I ended up with a 497 with each section around 50% (some higher and some a little under) but have excellent ECs to make up for it.

Thanks for sharing. We're probably about equal then all things considered. Are you also OOS?

Guys, is there a way to see the PCOM Philly app? I submitted my essay and I cannot find it. I don't want to re-type it since the questions is the same. I wanted to copy and paste.
How did y'all do it? (for the people that applied to both campuses)
 
I just emailed admissions declining my II and hope that one of you guys gets the invite. Here's hoping one gets sent your way @getfat .

Unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve your application once you submit it. You can only see a blank version of the secondary application. Hopefully you had something saved on your computer? :/

I had this problem and it was because my scores on aacomas were not official so PCOM did not report them. They have to be official to be on your portal. Once they are official it can still take time for them to receive them from aacomas.

Thanks guys! I emailed them and they had not received the official scores yet, so I re-requested them. Fingers crossed I did it in time! :)

Does anybody have an idea how many interview groups have occurred already?

The thread suggests three but that seems really small (even if they are interviewing >30 applicants)

As in those that have interviewed or are medical students at PCOM-GA.

I just interviewed here on Nov 4th. I was impressed with how welcoming the the staff was and think the campus is very pretty this time of year. I was glad to learn that their anatomy lab uses real cadavers , which is something LECOM-B told me they have moved away from. Definitely my number one choice.

Stats: OOS, AACOMAS Gpa undergraduate cumulative 3.65, MCAT: 504, 514 (retake) , strong clinical experience as scribe for 1.5 years and with a MD letter but pending a DO letter, submitted secondary in late September.

It's been four. They skipped the week of the 14th because I think Pharm was using the computer lab and the week of the 21st because of the white coat ceremony. So the Nov. 4th group was the fourth group.

Any idea what days the admissions committee meets and if it is a once per week thing? I have a new letter of recommendation and interfolio is saying to wait 3 business days. :(
 
Well my deposit payment link appeared on the portal, assuming I'm accepted! :)

Pretty much every school meets once per week. As for sending updates right after your interview, I'm pretty sure it might be a bit too late for that. :/ I would contact admissions immediately and ask if you can bypass that 3 business day window.

Has anyone received an invite into the fb group or is that for after April 25?
 
Also interviewed on the 28th and after seeing your guys's response I checked online and see a link to pay the $250 deposit. No letter yet (California so as far away as possible) but fingers crossed it's real! Just got waitlisted at KCUMB so some good news would be nice ^_^
