thank you so much for your feedback! How likely do you think it will be for WCUCOM to move through the entire alt list?

highly highly likely ;) each year since i've been here they've been pulling people up to interview up until 2-3 weeks before classes start.

how safe is the downtown Hattiesburg area? I know the loft apartments there aren't as recommended for students due to the noise but besides that, I was curious to see what the area is like and if the apartment complex itself is decent

Is the AnKing deck suitable study material for exams at William Carey ? I heard that older students may pass on some decks down to OMS-1 students-- or at least thats what I'm hoping for haha

I've used Anking exclusively in OMS2 and done very well, supplementing with lecture slides of course. I used class decks in OMS1 pretty liberally, especially for anatomy. Anking was useful for biochem!

I got a secondary 03/21 and submitted 03/24. I emailed them letter of interest on 4/15 and no response. Any chance of receiving an interview? I saw something about high interview invite rates post-secondaries, but not too sure how true this is.

I am still waiting from WCUCOM but working with College Ave for a different school which also does for WCUCOM

Thank you for the info. What interest rate is College Ave giving you? And do you have a co-signer? I am currently working with Sallie Mae but their interest rate is 15%.
 
Just got an interview invite! Also, I took casper last year and tried to add this school to the recipient list today but I wasn't able to. Will this be a problem?

Dont think so. I got an A before my casper results were sent. But maybe you should book casper for this year regardless.

I got an A and haven't taken my CASPER test yet so I don't think so.

Are there any current students who can talk about their experience with clinical rotations? Do they provide assistance in finding rotations for 4th year or is it completely on you to find them?

i'm a second year almost 3rd year, but I will say 4th year rotations you find on your own, which is a GOOD thing. most people will do a few rotations at their 3rd year hubsite, but especially if you want to go to a competitive specialty, you can audition at any place you really want to. Most audition rotations are applied for and scheduled through VSLO, sort of like AMCAS etc.

i know some people that live there and they really love it, minus the noise! downtown is safe enough during the day but i wouldn't walk about after dark!

Thanks for the info! I'm currently weighing my acceptance and that was something I was really concerned about. Can you describe your experience living in the area?

You have to do at lease 2 rotations at your 3rd year hubsite which are EM and Rural Med. But if you manage to do EM during your 3rd year then just rural med for 4th year. VSLO and clinician nexus are there but honestly I feel like it's a scam. I'm a 3rd almost 4th year student at carey and yoloing my money on this VSLO thing. It's kinda sad to see a few acceptance and a bunch rejections when I apply to 30 programs lol.

yeah the OMS3 and 4 curriculum that we got this year said we have to do EM and rural med but that we could do it anywhere... who knows if that'll change though... and yeah the financial part of it all definitely feels like a scam hahaha
 
Do any one know what is the status alternate list at WCUCOM mean? Placed on AL today, interviewed 04/18

it means if someone drops their acceptance they'll pull you (or whoever is next on the AL) up!

Does this school have both a waitlist and an alternate list? I know some schools that have both which pull from the alternate list only after they go through the waitlist.
 
is there anything on the AACOM website that we have to do to officially accept the offer after paying the seat deposit to wcucom?
 
Was put on AL yesterday, but got the A email today!!

after you paid your seat deposit, will more info be sent in an email or something? I paid my deposit this week but have heard nothing back other than confirmation that they recieved the payment.

Hey, I just got an A, and seeing as we have similar backgrounds I wanted to reach out just to ask a few questions.

I tried to PM you but its not letting me, would you be able to start the conversation?
 
Got my interview invite for last cycle 1 year ago today and today I'm studying for finals and almost through my first year at WCUCOM. I got WL then accepted on 6/9. Friendly reminder, it's not over till it's over. Keep your head up and message me if you need anything. Good luck with the rest of the app cycle y'all. :)

By WL do you mean the "alternate list?" Also, do you know if everyone is guaranteed to get off the alternate list?

As per WCUCOM, they have three status AL, Defer( no decision untill AL is exhausted, and then ranked), Reject. AL is ranked, since the interviews goes till the end, the ranking might ascend/descend. It doesn't look "guaranteed to get off" unless application has better ranking. There might be movement after final deposit deadline on May 9th
