haleycmaxwell Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Any idea how many people they interview? Pretty nervous knowing there's only ~20 seatsI am unsure of the number of people they interview. I received an email with information regarding the interview shortly after the post where I said I hadn't heard anything.

Program is great, small class number, they really easy you into it and understand that we have people of all backgrounds and skills levels. There is a lot of practice to make you comfortable with whatever your learning, and a lot of resources as well. I am in my first clinical rotation, it is internal medicine outpatient, preceptor is great, and it is 40 mins from where I live but 20 mins from campus, I will be travelling as far as 4 hours away for one of my rotations. Lmk if you have any particular questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidccs Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Got some questions from a applicant, hopefully they can help others as well What is the ratio for the faculty to students? 20 students, 4 full time faculty, and many guest speakers/part-time faculty What is the benefits of having a small class and campus - does it makes the studying progress easier and more focused? Yes, we have our own building where we super rarely see other students (have our own break room, fridge, microwave, lockers) and parking is a breeze How readily is the faculty's responds to students questions and how supportive are the faculties? They respond within 24 hours, usually within hours. They help you as much as they legally can What strength in this program do you like that makes you chose this program over others? cadaver lab, small class, small campus, lots of hands on/practice, doesnt skimp on equipment or maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrader Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 @davisccs How would you describe the relationship between students, and how has the program (faculty and setup of the program) fostered/hindered that relationship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relationship is fine, we all get along well. Everybody has their inner group that they hang out/study with but overall we all do well together, not competitive (no reason to, we arent fighting for residency spots) The faculty/program will hold pot lucks and other mixers in the beginning to get us to mingle not only between ourselves but with other programs too. We've held sessions in which students have hashed out something they disagreed on and whatnots and at the end we were glad to be able to be open about it.

davidccs Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Dont be discouraged if your waitlisted, quite a few of my classmates were wait listed at first (specially the ones in the early interview dates) and then got accepted towards the end of the year. I think the school may do that to build a bank of potential students before making final decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidccs Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Got a question that some of you may find helpful Question: Does PCOM focus on an applicants numbers and which number is the most important? I dont think that is the case with PCOM. For example, in my class we have people with over 10k hours of HCE but very minimal volunteer and shadowing hours. Others have no HCE but have a high amount of shadowing, most do have some sort of HCE though. All the students have bachelors, some had their bachelors for a while, others came straight from undergrad, one has a masters in a science field. So there isnt a set number that PCOM looks at, imho. I would say they look at the person behind the numbers more than just the numbers themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidccs Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Word on the street was that for the class I am in (2018) we had 1500 applications and 100 interviews for 20 spots https://www.pcom.edu/program-statistics/physician-assistant-studies.html http://www.pcom.edu/admissions/apply/physician-assistant.html those pages show some stats that you may find helpful, second link is more current.
