can anyone who has received an interview give an estimate from being complete to the time you received the II? thank you :)
 
Recently got an II here and was wondering if any current students have any input on the school. I’ve heard it doesn’t have the same opportunities as going to the PA campus. Also not a fan of how they report their stats on their website.

It’s close to home tho and would def consider it if given an A

Is the 4-6 weeks decision post-interview accurate? I'm itching to find out but doesn't look like anyone has heard anything
 
Current OMS-1 here. I enrolled because I couldn't get into an MD school. MCAT 504, GPA 3.8. This wasn't my first choice, but I'm here. I know a lot of my peers were re-applicants and many got in super later, like this summer to matriculate Fall 2021. That said, it's a long road so don't give up.

As I stated above, this wasn't my first choice so I'm not gun-ho about PCOM. There's a lot they need to work on. For instance, our class was the first to go through the new curriculum, PCOM-One where they merged all their campuses (Philly, GA, and SGA). GA-PCOM was the last to merge. SGA merged last year. Honestly, most of us - at GA - are constantly flipping through SGA/PA's slides to learn content info ((shared off a student run Google Sheets)) as tests are the same across all campuses. All professors from each campus agree on test questions, but we've had multiple questions dismissed from tests/quizzes because our professor (from GA) didn't cover a test question which was written by another campus prof.

That being said, everyone is still adjusting and hopefully, it will be better next year. To be truthfully honest, I wish I applied to PCOM-Philly as their rotation sites are better and you will have a better chance of matching to competitive specialties (ortho, derm, etc) - look at match lists. I've talked to our Dean at GA-PCOM and she shared that it's because GA-PCOM is new and there is a stigma in the South, so we don't have the best rotation sites - we're also competing with Emory and Morehouse, but this is a goal of hers to achieve - obtaining better rotation sites. However, we do have access to all required rotation sites, just not speciality sites (listed above) you'll need to find those opportunities on your own. On the flip side, Philly does offer speciality rotation sites because they have their own hospital. Not a bad thing, but take it into consideration.

Regardless, medical school is hard. I'll try to respond if you have any questions. All in all, I'm NOT saying don't go here. At the end of the day, you'll be a DR and that's all that should matter.

Hello everyone!! I have seen some people get II and I wanted to know, did they just start sending out invites? Are they a tiny bit slower in this whole process?
Thank you!!

I want to say they started sending invites in early October. I received my II 6 days before my interview, so it's a very quick turnaround! I'm not sure how many IIs they have sent out or how many sessions they've had, but my interview group was small. It was about 12 of us.

What hospitals does PCOM-GA use for their core rotations?

Do they send complete emails?

They send receipt of primary AACOMAS, then a link to log into the portal to view everything they received. Pay the $75 and wait to see if you get an II email basically.

Anybody know where PCOM - Georgia is in the interview process? I thought I might get an interview invite, but haven't heard anything yet. What stats are they interviewing at this time? My friend got an interview and his stats are the same as mine along with similar resumes.

I wouldn't worry too much- I think they're moving pretty slowly this year. I interviewed 5 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back yet
