Question about PCOM

Members do not see this ad.

So I just finished my secondary for PCOM, but I was also thinking of applying to PCOM-GA. My problem is that they ask almost the exact same question so can I write an essay that is about 75% identical? The thing is since both applications go to the Philly campus, I'm not sure whether the admissions board is the same for both schools (and I get caught sending the same essay to both schools). Any thoughts on this? 😕

haha Boner and Doc G got it right, those were the questions. However, since no one is REALLY sure whether or not it's the same admissions committe, I might as well call PCOM tomorrow and find out. Thanks guys. I will let you know what they say. If anyone gets any other info, please do share.

So I called PCOM today and they said that there are two committee, one for PCOM and one for PCOM-GA. Yesss, now I can use the same essay 😀

The admisssions commitee are entirely different for PA and GA.

Why osteopathic medicine?

Regarding the why DO and why PCOM, it states to give a brief statement. Anyone know how long can it be? I'm going to assume by brief they just want 5-10 concise sentences and not multiple paragraphs. Could anyone please clarify this issue.

Thanks.

DRKUBA so it seems that you beat me to admissions, eh? Why didn't you apply to WVSOM?

Congrats on NSU!

Here's to hoping we both continue to see interviews rolling in... maybe even the MD ones 😱

[disclaimer: not that they're superior to DO interviews, just typically harder to obtain]

WVSOM=$$$$$$$$$. I would have applied to MSUCOM if it were not for this factor also.

THanks. I hope we get more interviews and acceptances also! Good luck to you!
