Hi. Does anyone know Angel's e-mail? Could you pm me with it please?
hey mroof1, i was wondering when you sent in your secondary and how long it took to get your interview invite...Im about the end of the third week since sending in my secondary and might be jumping the panic gun! Not sure if I have reason to worry, but I am! Good luck on your interview!
(my nerves)
Wow, I totoally forgot I even applied to Pikeville they are so slow! I guess I should call them and withdraw. Good luck to everybody else!
How funny, got my interview invite in the mail today. I've been complete since late August/early September. They probably had me on hold for a little bit. Probably won't go due to other acceptance deposit due December 14th. My interview is Dec. 5th. I wonder how long the turnaround time is?
Talked to Angel yesterday and she stated that 25 people will be at the interview on 11/22. That being said, if youre not sincerely interested in PCSOM, and you have other acceptances, please, please, please, withdraw so as to improve the odds for the rest of us. Nevertheless, Im pumped about the interview. Angel swears it will be no stress.
I think what I said came off wrong. Please dont take it the wrong way. I mean no harm and didnt even think of the fact that you hadnt been there yet! I recently took a tour at Pike and I can tell you that the drive into Pikeville is pretty rough, so make sure you allow plenty of time for the drive for safety. I cant imagine driving on those roads in rough weather.
Thanks for the match list. Even though it was 2005 it shows that PCSOM can still put out a neurosurgeon! I see a lot of Anesthesiology and that makes me feel good because I have been considering that heavily.
one little bit about the match list: There are many alumni who come back and give lectures in their respective specialties. It's a really cool thing to see how many graduates from PCSOM have gone into many different areas of medicine. I've heard that one rotation place for PCSOM in Norton Va is awesome. Apparently you get one of the best rotation experiences in the nation because there are no competing programs budding in on your patients. I was impressed by the leadership and skill of the recent graduates. They really seem to be shooting up the ranks in their fields. Don't let the rural health in Eastern Kentucky mission discourage you from applying. Many students go into specialties and stay in the area and start really solid practice. Who knows you might be giving a lecture on OB-GYN to PCSOM someday.
I'm really excited since I got accepted. The DO I shadowed over the summer did her residency over at Norton. I was just wondering what type of specialties people in your class are going into and what specialty you are choosing for yourself?
Yeah I couldn't find any other lists for them. If anyone else has one, let me know, so I can add it. Check out the FAQs thread for other schools' lists.
Thank you for the list! It looks promising for the fields I want to consider... but on another note. How is the housing for the med students? I live close but never actually looked at housing and its cost.Hey folks, I was in the class of 2008, here are some of the matches for my class. I am sure the school keeps a list, but I don't have it, this is something a class mate threw together.
No idea about COMLEX pass rates other than to tell you I did fine and my friends did too.
You are welcome to PM with questions, I don't hit this site as much as I did when I was in school so it may take some time to get back to you. I am doing EM in Richmond VA, so if you want to email me you can find the address on line. Good luck with your education! Remember that you will only get from med school what you put into it. All the bitter people on this site that bad mouth schools likely thought they would have it handed to them. Don't be that person.
Cheers,
E-

I MADE IT!!! I GOT ACCEPTED!!!
yes I got the call this morning from the Dean saying he had "good news" for me. I might actually make something of myself after all.
Congrats to all that have got accepted so far and good luck to those that are still waiting.
Congrats mroof1!!!!!
Im happy for you, a little jealous, but happy! So, you know, if you are all done with this process and have officially decided to attend Pikeville, perhaps you can turn your prayers, or wishing or whatever you used personally, to help me get an interview and acceptance! Lol
Again, Congragulation!
Hey guys! I called Angel last week and she said only seven spots have been filled for the new incoming class! So that is great news! That means a lot left to be filled! She also said that admissions will try to let those who got interviews know before winter break. Does anyone know what percentage of interviewees get officially accepted? Seems like a great school, heard nothing but good things. I want to get an interview!

I've been trying to keep my name in their heads. I sent a LOI and I called before Thanksgiving, I dont want to be a nudge but I think I will probably call them again in January. I just want to know if they put me on hold or something. Thank mroof1 hopefully it will help!
