Summary of Application Experience
I applied to 6 schools (PCOM, WVSOM, KCUMB, CCOM, PCOAT, and PCSOM). I was invited for an interview at WVSOM immediately, because they will interiew students after their primary applications are submitted. And, only students invited to an interview are given secondary applications to submit. So, I found out I was accepted at WVSOM about 2 weeks after my interview. Then, I was invited for an interview at PCSOM, KCUMB, and PCOM. I interviewed at PCOM, which was my first choice school, and I found out the very next day I was accepted. So, I then withdrew my applications to all the other schools, and forfeited my interviews at PCSOM and KCUMB. I am really looking forward to attending PCOM in the fall!
