How did you prepare for the interview?

"I already had 7 interviews before I had my interview with PCOM-GA, so I didn't do anything further than 1 mock interview with a friend." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"I live in Suwanee, so how close this campus is to my hometown is a compelling convenience factor for the school. They are very welcoming of non-traditional applicants. They also do a lot of community outreach activities for the Lawrenceville-Suwanee area like teaching students about healthcare careers at local high schools and doing mobile clinics in malls and public squares." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The campus looks a lot like a warehouse and the facilities and architecture seem industrial. PCOM's affiliated hospitals aren't great relative to the MD schools in Georgia. They do in-house exams rather than NBME style exams. The tuition is expensive." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"They offer an Open House that prospective applicants can register for, I advise attending one of them to get some info on the DO program they offer." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"As a private DO school, PCOM-GA in Suwanee's tuition is expensive, though if you have a exceptionally high GPA and MCAT, PCOM randomly offers generous full-tuition scholarships which is an incentive to get a high GPA and MCAT. The affiliated hospitals aren't that great compared to other established med schools in Georgia. One nice thing that they are improving on is that they are transitioning to pass/fail grading."
