Still under review since August, should I give up hope at receiving an interview (I was accepted to KCU in December but wanted some more options as well)
Would really appreciate this, thank you!To my knowledge, the drastic change is due to our new curriculum, which is referred to as PCOM ONE. Sorry in advance, but I am not familiar with how things were previously taught. I too wonder why it is considered data for 2023-2024, but that is something that I can certainly look into.
Thank you so much for your responses, fr.It is a centralized systems-based curriculum across our three campuses, with a more board-focused second pass during our second year. Unfortunately, that is the extent of my knowledge, but I agree with you.
EDIT: with in house exams
No offense, but while I appreciate your responses I don't want to make a decision based off hearsay from a student. And I don't really think admin would appreciate a student blasting unpublished data all over the Internet either but that's just my opinion. Until I see actual figures from admin I'm going with that 83%. But that doesn't change the fact that PCOM was lower than a lot of other schools pre-curriculum change and pre-covid. It's just concerning and idk why no one ever mentioned it before.Congrats future doctors! For your information, our COMLEX level 1 pass rate is ~96%. This is different from the rate that is currently reflected in our program data. According to one of our curriculum deans, it is subject to change pending the results of a small number of remaining exams, which is why our program data has yet to be updated from last year. I hope you all keep this in mind when deciding where to commit!
I will chime in on this as it was a shocking situation that caught a lot of us by surprise, but I will say that I heard this secondhand so I do not know a lot of the details of this event. The response to this by the management at Meta Christy House has been pretty silent and a lot of the residents were rightfully furious after finding out about it. I do hope that this situation is addressed and action is taken to make sure that something like this does not occur again to not only students, but also to anyone who comes to PCOM's campus. For now, it might be best to look elsewhere for housing for the time being.I was looking to sign with Meta Christy House but then I stumbled across this on google reviews. Does anyone have recommendations for other places to live in?

I’m not entirely sure but, I knew the admissions counselor from an event so they remembered my name and called (according to what they said on the phone to me lol)I interviewed same day and only got an email with no call, anyone have any idea why they only call some
Agreed on this as well. I hope this doesn’t get buried in the thread. ‼️No offense, but while I appreciate your responses I don't want to make a decision based off hearsay from a student.

I will say that the school is trying to deal with this internally and it now looks like the review has been deleted. My guess is that since his account is identifiable, they probably talked with him about the public review and also that he probably does not want to say the wrong thing on here that could cause him to get in trouble. And I personally had learned about what had happened until the news started to spread on campus.
They indeed do. If I recall correctly from last cycle, they were sending out IIs up until April. So there's still a chance to receive oneI’ve been in the 4 bar purgatory since September. Does PCOM typically send out II later in the cycle?
Thanks!They indeed do. If I recall correctly from last cycle, they were sending out IIs up until April. So there's still a chance to receive one
I got an II yesterday so apparentlyThanks!
Yes!Is there an accepted student group me?
Yep same here, kinda accepted my fateBeen at 4 bars since June...getting a little worried. Anyone else?
Same!!!!!!Been at 4 bars since June...getting a little worried. Anyone else?
+1. Really hoping for an II considering I had some ties with Philly.Been at 4 bars since June...getting a little worried. Anyone else?
Each bar represents your application status. Here is what they mean:What do the bars mean?
But you would get the II before the 5th bar because you would be notified via email right?Each bar represents your application status. Here is what they mean:
3 or below: Application incomplete
4: Application complete
5: Interview invite
6: Awaiting a decision from the admissions committee following the interview
7: A decision has been made (A, WL, R)
You would be notified via email of an II, which will lead you to your portal and show that it has reached the 5th bar. In other words, the 5th bar won't show up until you get an II email.But you would get the II before the 5th bar because you would be notified via email right?

In-housedoes anyone know if PCOM has in-house exams or NBME style exams?
mine was closed and i was interviewed by two people from the admissions office actually (non physicians/non med students), they said the people who do the interviews rotate each time, so it could be faculty, a student, alum, physician etc.Just got an II!
