Around July I got my secondary and end of september I got my invitation for interview for the first week of october.

Hey Bigbody, hope you make it in! Are you pre or post interview?

My file was completed around 11/8; received invite about two weeks later and set date for 12/7; notified of acceptance via phone message on 12/17 (just 10 days due to their push on adcom pre-holidays!); received matriculation package in mail after Christmas; 1st deposit of $250 due 1/21 and 2nd deposit of $750 due 2/18.

My stats:
*** 3.91 science; 3.71 overall
*** best of two mcat scores was 26S, with high sub scores 10P/10V/8B
(still not certain which way they look at this)
*** non-trad, married w/kids, 15 yrs case manager for autistic son and currently private tutor of undergrad science/math, 13+ years previous work experience in medically related fields

Hope this info helps you and others who are hoping for good news from CCOM. It seems like a great place to study medicine. I like everything I saw & heard except for the twice weekly exam schedule (7:30 am M & F) and the loooong daily hours in lecture. Most likely will matriculate at CCOM, but still not certain how I feel about these aspects of the curriculum.
Good luck!

It took over a month after I sent in my secondary to hear from them. They lost my LOR the first time so I had to resend them (only after calling them). After my interview it took less then 2 weeks, and I heard via phone call.

Manifesting,
I think I was one of the ones that interviewed you. Was your husband a lawyer?

I can answer your questions and concerns about the curriculum. It's really not that bad. We don't have exams every two weeks. I recall during my first year we sometimes went 4 weeks or more without anything. You'll have plenty of time for your kid.

Enjoy!

I'm a student on the admin committee, I do the interviews.

At CCOM it's not about your stats. If you get an interview, your stats are fine. Just focus on talking and being yourself. We want personalities not statistics. I know its hard to believe, but we score the interviewees based on personality and character, not numbers. The interview is the end-all be-all of the process. The 3 people that interview you basically grade you in a number of different categories and based on how they normally grade applicants you get a score. Teh admin committee then meets and decides.

Good luck!
