Hey everyone,
So i finished interviewing at PCOM and wanted to know whether the acceptance letter is big or small? I know this sounds kind of trivial, but I was just curious. Thanks!🙂

If I remember correctly from my letter last year, it was in a small envelope but it was thick.
 
small, you can't really tell. don't be too nervous though, i thought my interview went bad but it was all good
 
From what I've read, it's a small but thick envelope. A waitlist/rejection letter is going to be a single sheet of paper. If the envelope is thin, bad news ...
 
Are you in-state or OOS?

drmax: PCOM has interviewed and accepted a number of people from OOS. I've seen people from OK, NJ, CT, DE, RI, and NY post that that they were accepted. So, I don't get the impression that they do primarily in-state interviews first, if that's why you're asking.

BTW, the OP here is from South Carolina.
 
I was lucky enough to get my letter a couple of weeks ago, it's a regular size letter but kind of thick. I think they took around two weeks or so to get back to me too, in case you were wondering what their wait time is like. Good luck!

thanks, yeah, I hope mine isn't thin, im suppose to hear in the next few weeks.
 
i am oos, from oklahoma actually, so they were a little surprised that i wanted to come to philly.
 
Another silly question:

Why do they say P-C-O-M, instead of P-COM?

I don't know to be honest. Just one of those things. 😕

A certain instructor put it this way (also one of my fav quotes): The name of the school is P-C-O-M, not P-COM. You dont go to mit (M-I-T) or u-cla.

I still perfer p-com
