Does anyone know based on previous threads/this years thread about how many people get out on the waitlist and the number that typically gets accepted? Sorry if this is repetitive or silly question, the waiting has me going slightly crazy over here
I called and asked this exact question when I got put on the waitlist and they wouldn't give me a real answer. They said they don't have a number because it changes every cycle. When I asked what the number was for the previous cycle, they couldn't disclose that information.Does anyone know based on previous threads/this years thread about how many people get out on the waitlist and the number that typically gets accepted?

I've talked to admissions from another school, and they pretty much say nothing as well. They've mentioned that some years, they went through all their waitlist while some years, no more than less than ten. I think it really just depends on the people that withdraw, which they really cannot predict how many.I called and asked this exact question when I got put on the waitlist and they wouldn't give me a real answer.

The PCOM website says last cycle they accepted 512, but 270 matriculated. In my opinion, I don't think 242 people were pulled from the waitlist. I think they gave out acceptances during the cycle, and if someone withdraws their acceptance, they keep interviewing and fill those spots up. Not sure why they can't just tell us the waitlist movement tho
Just got off of the waitlist and got the A!!! It’s been so tough waiting this one out but I guess miracles can happen!

Yes, I was waitlisted in February and sent an application update/LOI in early March.did you send in any letters after you were waitlisted?
congrats!!!! manifesting the same good news for myselfjust accepted off of waitlist! so shocked i literally just submitted my reapplication last night 😭😭
Hello I saw your thread from a year ago, could you help me the primary questions?Hello, future doctors! I applied last year (as a reapplicant) and was accepted! I will be starting at PCOM-PA in less than a month
I am happy to answer any questions and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll try reaching out to an upperclassman! I’m most familiar with the application process since I haven’t actually started yet but I have learned a lot about classes from upperclassmen already.
Here are my stats from when I applied:
cGPA: 3.77
sGPA: 3.61
MCAT: 499 (123/129/123/124), 502 (126/126/125/125), and finally 510 (126/128/126/130)
Volunteering: 70 hours
Shadowing: 114 hours
Clinical experience: 6,510 hours (this is probably way above average for my class, do not panic if you have less)
Primary submitted: 7/27/2021
Secondary received: 8/24/2021
Secondary submitted: 8/24/2021
Interview invitation: 10/28/2021
Interview date: 11/17/2021
Decision date: 12/17/2021
I am also happy to edit any primaries or “secondaries” (the question is embedded in the primary, the secondary is really just a fee to pay) and help with some mock interviews. I would love to be able to provide these services for free but time is a commodity in medical school. Reach out to me if these services would interest you and we can discuss a price that is comfortable for both of us.
Finally, congratulations on making it to this point, stay patient, and don’t lose hope during the cycle (some of my classmates were only accepted in the last couple of weeks!). You are so much more than just your statistics so don’t forget to share your story with med schools!
LM 72, interviewed late april, WL 6/9, and never sent an update. good luck!congrats!!!! manifesting the same good news for myself
Do you mind sharing stats? Also when were you WL and did you send update letters at any point?
During the Accepted Students Campus Tour they gave us a tour of the Meta Christy apartments right on the PCOM campus and they looked nice.Hi! I was accepted last week off the waitlist as well. I was placed on the waitlist in May. I am just having a hard time finding safe areas to rent in. Does anyone have suggestions, like zipcodes and neighborhoods? Where do most medical school students usually live at? Please, any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
Yea that’s an LOI!Would it be recommended to send a letter if I was accepted somewhere else but I'm still really hoping to get off the waitlist at PCOM?
I sent an LOI back in february telling them I'd take their acceptance in a heartbeat. this would be more of hey are you going to take me or not because there's another place waiting lolYea that’s an LOI!
ahhhh, yea idk about that then hahaI sent an LOI back in february telling them I'd take their acceptance in a heartbeat. this would be more of hey are you going to take me or not because there's another place waiting lol
+1, could anyone DM me the discord/groupme please, thank you! 🙏Got accepted off the waitlist about 5 hours ago!!! Interviewed 5/15!! 3.7 and 500-505 range MCAT score, OOS. Does anyone have a link to a GroupMe or Discord?
Orientation starts August 7thDoes anyone know when orientation starts? I'm still waitlisted and I'm assuming they accept up until the day of orientation so I'm trying to get an idea of when the last day would be to potentially get a call from PCOM.
been rooting for you!Just received my acceptance.
Going from being completely defeated and working on reapplication secondaries, to crying in the middle of work after seeing the email/portal.
For those who may be like me combing through previous years threads:
