It all depends on how many students are interviewing, how many interviewer rooms there are, and in what order you are called. I luckily was first so I interviewed from 2-230 and left right then. But you technically be last. If you have a plane to catch, they will interview you first. Hope that helps!
Is that seriously all the day consists of? An interview? Or is there lunch, and info sessions, a tour, etc?
Lol same timeline as you. Not really sure what to do at this point
We're all in the PCOM silence boat together bro.
I'm doing pretty well. Already in at a great DO school, but I really wanted to see PCOM and NYCOM so I could decide if they were a better fit for me.
You would have done really well. Definitely chances at top 20 assuming ec's are in line.
Yeah, I've been struggling with that a bit. But at the same time, I'm an older student, and every year I wait will make residency more difficult on my body and mind. I figure I'm not going for any super-competitive residencies (I plan on either IM and not specializing, anesthesia, or EM) so DO should be fine. Plus, if past results are any indicator of future success, I should do well in school and hopefully on the boards, which will open my options up a bit.
I am pretty set on UNECOM, as I really love the school and it's close to home. But I have never seen NYCOM or PCOM, and they are both fairly close to home as well, so I'd like to compare the three if at all possible and decide which school fits me the best. I'd love to hear your views on NYCOM though, for sure.
I didn't get my MCAT score till mid August, and didn't think it would be competitive enough for MD school. I didn't even start an AMCAS application, and my essay was very DO specific, so I would have had to go through the whole process of sending my transcripts to AMCAS, rewriting my essay, and getting verified, likely adding a month and a half or more. I likely wouldn't have had my primary completed until mid-to-late October, then would be filling out secondaries in late October and November, would have my secondaries complete in November or December. But like I said, I'm perfectly happy going to DO school. The only reason I would even consider MD is because I'd like to practice outside the country eventually and it's easier to do with a MD than a DO. I really like UNECOM, a lot, and can't see much that an MD school would offer me that I can't get at UNECOM in relation to my long-term career goals.
Yeah, had no idea I would score a 35 MCAT. Figured I'd land like a 28 at best. I have consistently underestimated my own abilities my entire life, should've known better and just filled out the AMCAS. Ah well.
Nice, congrats! Do you mind sharing your starts and if youre OOS or IS?
I would just write a general email to admissions, the email address is in the folder, thanking them.
Same, I feel many of us are in the same position. If you have not heard, you are still in the running. I dont think they necessarily do silent rejections (although it feels like it). You will be notified - it just takes time. Keep in mind they interview until April. I know first years that have said they were not interviewed until March. This whole thing is a waiting game and a true test of patience... that being said, I feel your pain every day I dont hear a single word from the remaining 10 schools I have not hear from in 4+ months!
Congrats! I am just curious, does Delaware have a deal with PCOM or something? Glad to hear that your wait has been just about as long as its been for me... this gives me hope!
Congrats! when were you complete?
I was complete at the end of August! IS, 3.2sGPA/3.4cGPA, 29 MCAT.
