I've been stalking my mailman these few days hoping to get a letter from PCOM! We're just being neurotic premeds!

Do we know what the acceptance vs. rejection envelope will look like?

My acceptance envelope was pretty big, think like the standard 2 pocket folder size

I wasn't home when it came and I told my husband if a letter from PCOM comes to please open it and text me the contents. I got the text when I was in my night lab! I was so excited, happy, and relieved. Thank you!

[Philotic]

Congrats on the acceptances, everyone! Don't freak out if Nucleus doesn't update right away. Last year it took about 3-5 days for it to update so you could pay the deposit! 🙂

 

[hammy2016]

Accepted! Interviewed at the end of October!

 

[Delco91]

Sorry to hear that 🙁

But how did you get an acceptance package if you were rejected?

Got my letter, on hold, anyone know how that process works? Is that like getting waitlisted?

They weren't rejected. They have a row to put the date of a rejection if they were to be rejected. So rejection should be N/A or something. I misread it at first too lol

 

[deleted244469]

Congrats to everyone who received an acceptance!

I'm REALLY hoping I hear back from PCOM. This school is in my top 3 (probably #2, at the moment) of programs I would like to attend. I was complete on Nov 8, so it will be a little while, unfortunately.

 

[MADD!!!]

Anyone interviewing here on Monday?

 

[festarz]

Hey there I got my letter yesterday and my portal changed today and I was able to make the deposit payment. 🙂

Thanks 🙂 I just checked and it was updated. I just paid the fee

 

[YayPudding]

Originally offered an interview on 10/10 but I am a DO/PhD candidate and will be doing both on 12/16

Sorry, I copied and pasted from another person's acceptance post, so I actually meant the rejection date I received the small, regular-sized envelope in the mail. Good luck to everyone else interviewing! Does anyone know if there's any way to get feedback about our application?

 

[FutureDO_1988]

Last year I was given a "delayed decision" letter as my first notification after my interview. I am not sure if "on hold" is similar to this. I would call/email to find out on Monday, however! Best of luck.

I am sorry for silly question, but I got a bit confused! So portal will allow you to pay the deposit $250 only in the case of acceptance? TIA

 

[FutureDO_1988]

Yes of course. Usually (not in all cases) the acceptance letter will precede the portal change to pay the deposit.
