This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
do we know the consensus on emailing in pre-interview updates?
I just called and asked and they told me the only updates they accept are new mcat scores and transcript updates. I just submitted a paper for peer review for which I'm first author so I was really hoping that could be added to my application, but they said they won't do it. 🙁

If I follow correctly, you have an interview.

Why are you worried? You'll have the opportunity to bring all your new research up during the session and the folks interviewing you will make note of it upon committee review.

Cool your jets.

Ah no -- I didn't realize the person asking meant they had an interview -- my fault! I don't have an interview yet, so that's why I'm bummed that they won't accept that update.
 
How many people ended up coming off the wait list?

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. Maybe someone else on here does. I do know that people were given acceptances off the wait list as soon as one week before orientation started in August.
 
Like I said -- they told me a few days ago the only updates they will accept are MCAT scores and transcripts.
If you didn't do your AACOMAS update yet, you might be able too - look into it? Not 100% sure when the deadline is but if you want to include your research, its an option.
 
In what form have people been getting interview invites? Email or phone calls? I want to know what form of communication I should be checking my phone for every 5 minutes 😵
 
Did it take a long time for MCAT scores to be uploaded? I submitted my secondary a couple of weeks ago and my letters were added shortly after but my MCAT still hasn't been loaded.

It took me two weeks when I submitted my mcat to aacomas in May. They were having a glitch in their system. Hopefully it's faster now.

E-mail - you reply to confirm

I have heard they usually send them on certain Tuesdays
 
Secondary received 11/5. Secondary submitted 11/8. Complete email 11/10.
 
Any idea when the committee usually meets? My hunch is at the beginning of the month just going off of last's years thread and from the dates people were accepted on here.
 
Secondary received 8/4, submitted 8/5, complete sometime in September, just got an II by email 11/12. Hang in there, everyone!

congrats! when is your interview btw? I got the email today too and its scheduled for next Friday. Didn't expect it would be that soon.
 
I got a secondary on August 4th and submitted it a few days later. Woke up this morning to an II for this Monday, leaving me little time to prep :scared:!
Have hope everyone! I have three good friends that currently attend PCOM and they said it took them forever to get their II, also they said that the interview itself is very laid back.

Very laid back. Good people. Good school. Honored to be a student! Good luck and yes, it took me forever to get an interview also! Maybe they save the best until last???? Just making a joke to placate myself!

As an OOS'er, I'm hoping I don't get boxed out from the PCOM fun. 2 months so far...

Mine's scheduled for this Thursday the 19th. Thankfully I live close to campus 😉
 
Also have an II on Thursday the 19th! Any advice from people that already interviewed?

Obviously, know your application (what you wrote for your primary/secondary). I remember that I mentioned a hobby and my interviewer remembered that I wrote about it in my primary, but I completely blanked on what I wrote.

You should also probably have an answer to what differentiates DOs from MDs. You might not be asked the question, but there's also a possibility you might.

Otherwise, the whole day was really laid back so try and relax! The interviews are the last part of the day, but try and take a deep breath.
 
My friend is an ambassador and mentioned that they have missed a lot of interview dates because of the pope visiting, the PCOM president was inaugurated and next week is break so they are missing almost two weeks with Thanksgiving coming up. They have to catch up on interviews and it may not be until next year. Patience is the name of the game
 
Submitted primary early/mid-October, received secondary yesterday (11/12), will have secondary submitted tonight (11/13).

3.6 GPA/ 3.65 sGPA - 511 MCAT

Fingers crossed.

What is a II? Does that mean interview? (Don't make fun of me haha)

Yes, II = interview invite

Thanks for the info! Patience is tough when it's your first choice, you work for a PCOM grad, and he asks often if you've heard yet 😉 But this whole journey of becoming a doctor is a really long one, so patience is something I could definitely afford to work on!
 
Would anyone know what the acceptance rate is like earlier on in the cycle? Didn't feel particularly great after the interview early October. My interview didn't feel conversational at all. More like question and answer and my interviewers all had straight faces the entire time.

I felt the same way after my interview :/ Definitely nervous to see the result

I have a question for applicants that have submitted more than one MCAT score .
On you application summary to PCOM, for the "MCAT scores" line, does it say the test date for your first test date or most recent test date?
 
Would anyone know what the acceptance rate is like earlier on in the cycle? Didn't feel particularly great after the interview early October. My interview didn't feel conversational at all. More like question and answer and my interviewers all had straight faces the entire time.

If it's any consolation mine felt the same way and I was accepted.
