"The PCOM students were very friendly and positive about their experience at PCOM. I interviewed with the director of admissions and a D.O. physician, and the interview was more like a conversation. I felt relaxed and comfortable. The school is perfect for me, and I could really see myself as a student there which is important to me. The anatomy labs are state of the art, and the mock-clinic where they bring in patient actors really impressed me, as did the robotic S.T.A.N. " Report Response
"The amount of time students had to wait between breakfast and interviewing negatively impressed me. I was lucky to be one of the first candidates to interview. But, the other students were just sitting for hours and getting more nervous by the minute. After my interview, I had 2 hours of free time before the student tour began at noon. They said we were free to sit in on first and second year classes, but we didn't see any open seats and also didn't want to interrupt the class by trying to find an open seat." Report Response
"Beware of the Philadelphia traffic, and allow yourself plenty of time to get to the school on the morning of your interview. It's so much better to be early than it is to be late. " Report Response
"To break it down: Breakfast 8:15 - 9:00 AM Student Interviews 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Student Tour 12:00 PM Overall, the experience was very positive. PCOM students are very upbeat. The admissions staff is very friendly, and the facult want to see you succeed. Spend as much time as you can talking with the PCOM students. Come with many questions prepared, because you have a lot of time between your interview and the student tour to talk to students. I learned so much, and left PCOM feeling very satisfied with my experience. I'm really hoping that I'm accepted to PCOM, because it is my top choice!" Report Response
