Did interviews end Monday or do they go through this week?
My portal works, and there won’t be any significant waitlist movement until after may 1st when amcas requires those to reduce the amount of acceptances they’re holding. Even though DO waitlist movement may not pick up until after the AACOMAS may 15th deadline.Is anyone elses application portal not working? I was trying to add an update but my portal won't load. Anyone else experiencing this? Also has anyone gotten in off the waitlist yet?
Thanks for the reply! Im hoping my portal not working means they are taking me off the waitlist as we speak but in reality it's probably just my bad WIFI lol.My portal works, and there won’t be any significant waitlist movement until after may 1st when amcas requires those to reduce the amount of acceptances they’re holding.

definitely let us know if anything changes when you get access back. Maybe it will give the rest of us on the waitlist a hint on what to look for when movement starts. I know I keep checking every day to see if there are any changes.Thanks for the reply!

Hi, can you give me two contacts of your doctors in Philadelphia? I tried cold calling but it did not go well. Thank you very much.No :/ i don’t think i’ve come across any official resources. I shadowed one who was a family friend. I’ve also shadowed a DO through my pediatricians office, worth it to ask your personal doctors. Your best bet will be cold calling private primary care practices. I’m from the philly area and I’d be willing to give you two doctor contacts i’ve shadowed here. However I don’t know anyone in GA.
Did the second drop down option appear for you?Just hit 7 bars this evening. oh wow freaking out (interviewed 3/27)

also can someone resend the discord? The most recent post with it has an expired link
It's a social platform/group chat. It looks like it's also going to be used to organize resources for classes and whatnot. It's not too hard to navigate but there are always people around to help you figure it out.Congrats! What's the discord for? I feel too old 😂. I know it's a social platform but I've never used it. Also congrats to the new admits! Has anyone heard back about scholarships?
Even though my FAFSA estimated family contribution was $0, my financial aid package only offered federal loans to cover half of the COA… Does that mean if I don’t get any scholarships I have to take out the rest in private loans? 🥲🥲🥲

Yesare they done with interviews?
I just got off the phone with admissions and they said they are still sending out II's
Did they say if this is this for waitlist spots or regular spots?I just got off the phone with admissions and they said they are still sending out II's
This late? damnI just got off the phone with admissions and they said they are still sending out II's
I feel a little skeptical since quite a few people here said they could only see interview dates going into the end of April. Like I don’t feel if I called PCOM-GA that they’re just going to admit to me they’re no longer interviewing and about to send out the big R wave.This late? damn
Yes, a few people I know have received II's from here as well as PCOM-GA about 2 weeks ago or so, which is quite late into the cycle, especially with it being almost over.This late? damn
I would assume its for waitlist spotsDid they say if this is this for waitlist spots or regular spots?
Holy moly!Welp. I just got an II this morning so
Welp. I just got an II this morning so
I believe that’s the case. Some DO schools are still sending invites as of late April which is great for those that haven’t received it yet!Seems odd to me how they’re still sending out IIs when the cycle supposedly ended in April according to AACOMAS. I wonder if they’re experiencing higher than expected turnover this year. No other year seemed to of sent additional IIs in May.
Many other DO schools are also apparently still sending out IIs. I spoke to an admissions committee member from another DO school and they said that since many schools are doing virtual interviews (aka applicants don't really need to spend money on flights/travel to interview), a lot of applicants are attending many of their IIs and just paying deposit. So they are interviewing more students as they expect 30-40% of confirmed seats to go somewhere else.Seems odd to me how they’re still sending out IIs when the cycle supposedly ended in April according to AACOMAS.

how were you notified?I just got an interview this morning too..
I interviewed on 4/17.. still waitingHas anyone heard back recently post interview?
Just received an II for next week? Didn’t think schools were still doing interviews…
How likely do ya'll think it is to get pulled from the waitlist if you have been on it for months? I got waitlisted in February. I got accepted to the Ga campus, which is where I did the biomed program. I really want Philly though.
Good luck! I understand your situation lolThere really is no good sign of how waitlist movement will work. I looked through the past few years threads and each time every single person who said they got off the waitlist posted how they were waitlisted sometime after February. Someone even asked if anyone ever got off the waitlist who interviewed before February and no one ever confirmed it. Who knows though, this year is obviously different since they are still sending out interviews in may.
I was WL in January, I keep checking every day hoping but honestly I’m not optimistic.
