For those with interviews, what are your states? IS/OOS?
I received an interview for Oct 1 as well. Problem is I have another interview in Florida that day! Not really a bad "problem" 😀 But I will have to reschedule this one. Left a message today...
Does anyone know if pennsylvania falls in the area that pikeville actively recruits from? the area on their website???

OvGPA-3.22, ScGPA-3.17 MCAT 28R (8V 10P 10B) My EC's are competetive but nothing outrageous. Iv'e applied to 7 schools and have interviews at 4 so far. I will end up applying to nine if my October interview dates dont turn out good haha. Best of luck to all who want in at Pikeville. I want to be in somewhere by Thanksgiving!!!
all the best OneTripAcross. You have very good MCAT. I am sure you will get something before thanksgivings.

promising for me. I just have to get that mcat a little more competetive. Re-taking again Saturday, but my app, with current scores are already in.
those who've received interviews, have you been successfully able to confirm them? i received one a couple of weeks ago but the date they offered doesn't work for me so i emailed them and left a voicemail to ask about other possibilities but still no response from them.
Just hang out there. After secondary and LOR, you have to just wait.
Hope you will hear from them soon. If you have a very strong reason, they should be able to give yo another date.
Any one who got an interview invite willing to share theit MCAT score. Thanks in advance.
I am interested in knowing stats on those who've already rec'd interview invites, if you don't mind. TIA!
Hello, I have an interview on october 1. I am looking for a current student to answer a few questions perhaps. What is the interview like(open/closed file)? How many interviewers? perks about PCSOM? the style of teaching and testing formats? things like this that will be pertinent for the interview.
Thanks

Thanks

Congrats on the interview! Where are you staying?
what address do i send my letters of rec too?
It doesnt state it anywhere and the lady isn't in her office!

First, congrats to all those who've already received an interview invite. You've successfully accomplished the most difficult part of the process (filling out all that paperwork). As a first year student here at PCSOM I have yet to hear of any information detailing this year's interview process. Unfortunately I can't remember if it is an open or closed interview; however, I can say that for the most part they can be likened to more of a conversation, rather than a question and answer session.
It was interview day that sold PCSOM to me. As you will see on Oct. 1st, the faculty here not only care about the reputation of their osteopathic program, they care about their students. Most importantly, they care about making their students into great doctors.
Again, while being here now only for a month, I really do see that PCSOM does everything for a reason. With the end-point of transforming great students into great osteopathic physicians.
Now you know where I stand...let me know if you have any about the secondaries or interview process.

How does one go about updating their MCAT scores AFTER they have submitted their secondary application? I just got my new scores, and while it did not improve as much as I wanted, it did go up by 6 points to a 29.🙂
There's three of us in my class from Indiana.....Some from Kansas, mississippi, and WV just to name a few. While Pikeville might take a majority of students from KY, I do believe they do look at your full profile, not just your scores and where you're from.
With regards to updating your score....I'd send Angel an e-mail and give her a call and leave her a message (when she doesn't answer). But you might also have to resubmit it through AACOMAS for verification purposes, I'm not exactly sure.

I am having the AAMC release the scores to AACOMAS and I will try and call Angel. For sure, I will email her.

How much could things potentially change from 2007 to now? 1 or 2 points on the MCAT?
I put why I should be considered and emphasized why I wanted to go into rural medicine. If you look at the first pages of this thread other people discussed this as well.
Yeah, I'd say a couple points on the MCAT. As for class size, the class of 2014 is around 83, we lost 2 after the first couple of weeks. With regards to applicant numbers, I don't know the exact, however, at out White Coat Ceremony a couple of weeks ago they mentioned that each member of the class had beat out 30 other applicants for their spot. PCSOM is growing fast and producing great physicians; pre-med students and many great hospitals throughout the country are quickly taking notice.
I heard from Dean Dunatov yesterday that the numbers were about the same this past year.
MCAT----- 23
GPA--------3.3 (Sci and Overall)
I really hate that I haven't gotten an interview here.
Seriously. Has anyone spoke to the lady in the admissions since an interview invite? I have a scheduling conflict as well (another interview that travel arangements had been made prior to this interview invite) and have called everyday since and left numerous messages with no response. I have emailed as well with no luck. This in unreal.😱
I talked with the admissions office yesterday and Angel Hamilton will be out of town until Thursday 9/23/10
thanks! right after i posted, i went back and read everything starting on pg 1

I am really glad this school looks for more than high MCAT stats, hopefully I get the opportunity to attend Pikeville.
I still haven't gotten an interview, does anyone knows until what dates do they usually send out invites?
Grats to all that got interviews, this seems like a fantastic school.
Thank You =)
last I heard from this school was an email stating that my application was downloaded by the admissions staff. this was on 9/13. my new mcat scores came in on the 14th and where then updated by aacomas. so im still waiting here lol. i really wanna go here! cmon!😳
I am in the same boat. I got a copy of my new MCAT scores and e mailed them to Corrine Bolt "[email protected]". I explained that I had just gotten my new MCAT scores and I wanted to make sure that they were in my file for evaluation. I received a reply stating that she got the scores and copied my email to Angel Hamilton.
