Cancelling my interview here after an early acceptance at DMU. Good luck everyone!
When did you interview?
You interviewed this week? What was your mcat score?
Congrats! That's so exciting! I'm a non-trad myself, hopefully I'll end up at WVSOM too!I'm a nontrad with a few years working with what could be considered "underprivileged" communities. So our applications might not be a direct comparison. But 27, ~3.8 post-bacc GPA.

Wait I interviewed Monday too & my applicant status says "Accept Applicant" as well. Does this mean I'm in
It is still early in the cycle and this school is very receptive to non-traditional students who are changing careers. I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as that MCAT comes back with a decent score.Can anyone give me a clue? I called the school to ask about my application and was told they won't download it because I don't have my mcat scores yet? is it something I should be worried about? I really want to attend the school for 2017. I just took the test on Sept 10th and expecting the result in couple of days from now.
Am I still on track? I am an old school foreign graduate trying to change a career.
Any hope ?
I interviewed Monday as well and also was accepted on Wednesday. 2nd interview, 1st acceptance. Very excited! This is a great school, beautiful campus, nice people, quaint town.
Very fast process too. I received secondary last Monday the 19th and submitted 3.5 hrs later. I was called 9/21 for interview. I scheduled it for 9/26 and by 9/28, I had my acceptance. They're on the ball!
Interview was very laid back and surprisingly fun. It was a 25ish minute panel interview with 3 committee members, the 2nd part was a teamwork exercise, and the 3rd part was an individual role playing activity with one of their standardized patients. Basically, if you know why you want to go to WVSOM, and you know why you want to be an osteopathic physician, and you have a good story, you're nice, you can work in a team, and you're an ethical person, then your interview day is going to go swimmingly. You don't really need to prepare for anything. Just go in and be yourself.
Some tips: the Hampton Inn was very nice (mention you're interviewing at WVSOM and you get a sweet discount and bring a swim suit bc the pool and jacuzzi are awesome), Fujiyama restaurant was delicious Japanese food and sushi, wear comfy clothes and shoes bc you will be walking a lot during your interview day.
Overall, my trip and experience with WVSOM and Lewisburg in general were very positive. I feel lucky to have been accepted.
Is it possible to get the resident tuition after 1 year residency? Anyone know?
SAE (standard applicant encounter) has already been mentioned in this thread, and nothing I have said here is more than what I knew going into the interview. We cannot mention any specifics. We cannot elaborate.
I won't argue or keep this going, and I do appreciate your feedback because we do need other people to keep us in check. I appreciate your principles. It's a great quality. Before signing, I know what we were told, and I am abiding. There are no specifics here. Again, thanks. I do appreciate your concern.While it has been mentioned, in none of the posts has it ever been described as specifically as you have stated. I have no stake in the mock secrecy of it, however, acceptances can be rescinded because of something like that. I hope that it doesn't happen for you, but it's something to be aware of. Non-disclosures are non-disclosures, and the school is aware of this thread.

Thanks. I pray so.It is still early in the cycle and this school is very receptive to non-traditional students who are changing careers. I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as that MCAT comes back with a decent score.
Do we need a DO letter or is a MD letter accepted?
[email protected]Anyone have an email I can use to reach admissions?
Thanks!
Has anyone heard anything recently regarding interviews/decision deferred? Turned in my secondary on the 18th I believe; no updated status yet.
Staying optimistic though!
Me too!! I hope that means we got oneI just logged into my portal and a new item that says "interview date:" popped up under my name. Is this just a normal thing that they add or should I be expecting to receive an II by email soon? Really hoping it's an II lol

Did you get ahold of them today about it?
Yes I did and the admissions counselor seemed puzzled about it. Said he was going to check into it and give me a call later today. Will let you guys know when he calls me back!
