I have not received anything either. Submitted and verified as of yesterday. Judging from last years thread, applicants didn’t receive confirmation/links to supplementals until about the second week of June, so this is normal.

AndrewsOkay Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hey everybody, I was interviewed by PCOM last cycle but ultimately was not offered a seat. I'm applying again this year and happy to talk about my experience with the interview process, and what I would have done differently.

AndrewsOkay Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Erskinesimone38 said: Yes please do share!! So, interviews consisted of what was around 2 hours of tours and an informational session, followed by the actual interview. I was actually shocked at how short the interviews were. They only spoke to each student for about 20-30 minutes each. As for what I'd do differently, I think my answers were too rehearsed. They were really good at side stepping the typical PA school interview questions, and asked a lot of personal questions I wasn't quite prepared for. The best advice I can give is be flexivle ans answer the questions they ask, not the ones you wish they asked or prepared for. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osakanohime Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thank you for sharing that. I didn't apply to this school last cycle and only applied to 1, and got an interview, however your experience is exactly what I experienced as well. Hopefully now with that in mind, we will get accepted the second time around! Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCPA23 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hey everyone! I'll be submitting my application this upcoming week. Good luck to everyone this is so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccole13 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I am a first time applicant and only an upcoming senior in college, PCOM is my top choice, but I know my PCE is limited, I am waiting until beginning of August to apply, as I heard from an admissions employee that they start interviewing in August. I know it’s late in the game to be applying, but I would like to have as many PCE hours as possible. I will have about 500 at the time of app, hopefully more. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions if you have already submitted or are a reapplicant. Best of luck to everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewsOkay Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 46 minutes ago, AlexisA said: Hey, I was wondering if you could share your stats and what do you think impeded your acceptance last year? Of course! B.S. in Medical Laboratory Sciences and Biotechnology cGPA: 3.47 sGPA: 3.60 PCE: 8000+ Hours (EMT, Urgent Care Tech, Phlebotomist) Healthcare: 1500 Hours (Medical Laboratory Scientist) Shadowing: 80 Hours (ER PA / Preceptor) Leadership: 20 Hours (Developing Alumni Program) Letters of Rec: 1 MD, 1 MD/PhD, 1 PhD, 2 Academic Comparing myself based to others who were offered an interview last year, my GPA is actually a little on the lower side. But, I think the main reason that I wasn't offered acceptance is that I gave a very weak interview. Since they only interview students for 20 minutes, you really have to make sure that yours is all killer no filler. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work in the best parts about me as an applicant, and I flubbed a few questions because I wasn't prepared for them. PCOM is VERY good at side-stepping the usual PA interview questions, and asking questions you aren't prepared for. I hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
