Accepted off the waitlist via phone call just now!
Hang in there! I know that they accept a considerable amount from off of their waitlist. Being in the high priority waitlist Is a great place to be! Don't lose hope!I'm on the high waitlist, but still haven't received a call.
Does anyone know if ICOM accepts most, if not all, applicants placed on the high waitlist?
A day for meHow long did everyone’s certiphi background check and drug screen results take to come back? i feel like i’ve been waiting for the background check’s results for a hot minute now
for both?A day for me
My experience in the ER and with my boyfriend who is graduating this year from med school is the Cardiology IV. I personally think it sounds better, it was recommended by most physicians to me as a good quality one to learn on and use daily, and it is the one that I was gifted this year from my parents when I got accepted to medical school so I wouldn't have to use the crappy ones that I used on my EMS rig.Current students:
Any recommendations on buying stethoscopes or any of the required gear? Seeing what you guys actually use so I can save some money here or there.
Debating on whether to get the Litman Classic III or drop the extra $$ for the Cardiology IV
They had emailed us maybe 1-2 Months ago saying that they would extend the deadline. When I emailed them a few weeks ago asking if there was a definite deadline they said not yet and to get things done as soon as possible. Though I would email them to make sure.Hey does anyone know if the BLS & Immunization deadlines are extended? I can't find classes in my area at the moment and my PCP isn't available until late-June due to COVID. Thanks

Can a current student recommend some good private loan options? ICOM lists Wells Fargo and Sallie Mae but I also want to explore others.
I’m class of ‘23, so I can’t speak a lot on board prep (maybe a member of the class of ‘22 will chime in). But I feel like we are overall being well-prepared...like, when I do board prep questions or use board prep resources, I know I’ve been taught the vast majority of the information. The one thing I feel like I don’t know very well is microbiology details, like if a virus has an envelope or is naked, that kind of thing. To be completely fair, most of that info was presented to us in Clinical Foundations and I just wasn’t ready to learn it all lol. But other than that, I feel well-prepared so far.Any current students, can you comment on the way ICOM is preparing you for COMLEX? I guess it's more of a self-prep exam but is the education you're receiving quality? I really really like this school but I wanna be sure.
Congratulations! Were you on the high-priority waitlist?Accepted off the waitlist today!
Thank you so much! That is very relieving to hear. ICOM is my top choice right now!I’m class of ‘23, so I can’t speak a lot on board prep (maybe a member of the class of ‘22 will chime in).

There was a high priority and a medium priority waitlist (not sure if there was a low priority one). I'm in the medium priority group. Just wondering. Good for you!I actually have no idea, I was never told anything more specific than “waitlist”.
From what everyone has told me, you will be fine getting the cheapest of the cheap for pretty much everything on the required equipment list except for the stethoscope. Most people are recommending the Littmann Classic III unless you are really feeling classy and want to throw down on a Littmann Cardiology IV.For ordering the medical equipment, would the bronze option be adequate?
I'm on it too...haven't heard anything.Has anyone heard anything about the medium priority waitlist?
Agree on this. Class of 24 will have a different Micro professor as well so that may change things for the next class and how the material is presented/spaced out. The previous Micro professor retired with her husband.I’m class of ‘23, so I can’t speak a lot on board prep (maybe a member of the class of ‘22 will chime in).

Hey guys, congratulations to the class of 2024! I am an upcoming OMS II and would be happy to answer any questions that you guys might have! Can’t wait to meet you in the Fall.
What size of iPad Pro do you get? Which applications are pre-loaded onto it?Hey guys, congratulations to the class of 2024! I am an upcoming OMS II and would be happy to answer any questions that you guys might have! Can’t wait to meet you in the Fall.
I did not see any other emails, but I figured out the ID is your student ID, and your pin is your birthday in the format of mmddyyFor accepted students, have we been given a link or any instruction on logging in/using sonis? There was an email sent out from the registrar about a few days ago, but I was wondering if there were any other previous emails about it?
Hey!
Was accepted into the c/o 2024 and had a few quick questions -
How's the dress code there? The handbook seems to elude that you need to be in dress clothes for classes; is this the case in your experience?
What was your interest rate for loans (if you don't mind disclosing). Sali Mae approved me at 9% which I though was pretty darn high and am still waiting on WF.
Thanks for being on here and answering questions!

They send another email about payments and schedule and mentioned SONIS again but they failed to mention what the website actually is.
I emailed the Registrar about the actual portal and they haven't gotten back to me yet.
No, if you do student loans you'll be given the semester worth of living expenses on the first week of classes from the school. You'll then put this in your banking account and draw from it whenever you need to pay for rent. Hope this makes sense!Since housing is covered in the COA, will we be paying rent through Sonis?
Hi I had a question regarding tattoos. I might have missed it in the handbook but I have a tattoo that covers most of my calf and another that goes from my shoulder to elbow. I was wondering if I have to cover the calf for OMT lab. Also, when we wear scrubs or the polos should the tattoo on my arm be covered? That bottom of my tattoo on my arm sticks out of shirts right above my elbow.Hey guys, congratulations to the class of 2024!

Do you know if it is possible to trade it in for the 12.9 inch and pay the extra cost?They give you the smaller iPad Pro with the smart keyboard and apple pencil. The applications that are pre-loaded are primarily the ones that you will need to have as a student here (testing software, supplemental learning materials, etc.). You'll get this on your first day of orientation.
As far as I'm aware, this is not possible.Do you know if it is possible to trade it in for the 12.9 inch and pay the extra cost?
