II just now. Most likely going to withdraw. Complete 8/3.
Complete since first week of October; for those of you who have just received II's, when were you guys complete?
Hey all, I'm interviewing tomorrow. Any last minute advice?
Interview invite today. I believe they interview into April from what I have heard in the past. Best of luck to you!do you know if they still interview this late? I really want an II
it's really either or...It's P-C-O-M, not P-COM. Say the latter and automatic axe...

Look at their youtube channel, Instagram, any social media. They all pronounce the school's name the same way. Would it be a deal breaker I'm sure not but it doesn't hurt to play the game on interview day.
My friend told me he said P-COM and PEE-SEE-OH-EM.
FWIW I shadowed a PCOM graduate and even she pronounced it P-C-O-M.This is classic SDN. Arguing about pronouncing a school's name. Our neuroticism has reached new lows.

"Pee-see-oh-em"

Know anyone who went to U-CLA? No it's U-C-L-A. As for the recent change in pronunciation, apparently they changed the way they wanted to pronounce it a few years ago when they did their rebranding after they did a survey about what the public thought about the school in Philly. This is what they told us on interview day. They also said it's not a deal breaker if you say P-COM but it would just look good if you did your research before hand. Hope this helps!

yes. it's not an impending snow storm...more like impending snow doomDid anyone else get a call about their interview needing to be rescheduled because of the impending snow storm on wed/thurs this week?
Haha this is interesting. I grew up 15-20 minutes away and everyone where I'm from calls it P-COM. I've shadowed doctors who graduated from there who also call it P-COM (they were also people born and raised in the area). But all their videos say P-C-O-M.....now I'm wondering if my whole life has been a lie....

gotta get the bread and milk!
The snow wasn't that bad in my opinion. But I got an email from them again this afternoon thanking me for coming to the interview. Was this by accident? I'm so confused.
I can confirm that they send out post-interview thank-you emails, which I think is kind of them to do!
Haha yes! It's very nice that they send them. But, I was concerned that they sent me the interview-thank-you email because they cancelled my interview due to the snow on Feb 9. I thought they still held interviews and that I missed mine.I can confirm that they send out post-interview thank-you emails, which I think is kind of them to do!
The entire campus was closed except for evening classes, so you def didnt miss anythingHaha yes! It's very nice that they send them.

Were you waitlisted or delayed decision (put on hold)?Put on post interview waitlist today. Anyone known what the waitlist movement is like at this school.
Delayed decisionWere you waitlisted or delayed decision (put on hold)?
I got my letter that I'm also on hold yesterday. What is the difference between being "on hold" and "waitlisted" at this school? I read last year's thread and saw that people have gone from being on hold to the waitlist, but not completely sure what the difference is...?Delayed decision
When did you interview?Put on post interview waitlist today. Anyone known what the waitlist movement is like at this school.
When was your interview?also received delayed decision letter yesterday...... I would also like to know what this means and how it is different from the waitlist? does anyone know how many people go from delayed decision -> acceptance?
EDIT: I emailed PCOM to find out what the difference is. The email said that a delayed decision means that a decision has not been made. The wait list is for someone who is accepted but no more seats are available. I am still a bit confused about WHY someone is given a delayed decision rather than a decision at this time? Any insight appreciated! This is my top choice
Thank you for emailing them, I was really curious. I wonder if this means we'll have a chance to be considered again before the spots fill up, or if the best we can hope for now is a spot on the waitlist. I'm really disappointed tooalso received delayed decision letter yesterday......

1/31When did you interview?
Also interviewed with 1/18 and delayed decision. Curious why so many delayed decisions.
+1 regarding the delayed decision. I think there are so many because they are nearing capacity of the class and want to step back, look at the last few months of interviewees and offer acceptances to only the best of us. The rest could be waitlisted then possibly pulled off the waitlist once people take other acceptances. This is all speculation of course.
Interviewed 18th, also given a delayed decision.Do you think pretty much everyone was given a delayed decision? Or were some people also accepted or rejected at this point??
