What date did you interview?Accepted as well!!
What day was your interview?I got accepted as well guys!
I interviewed 12/12 and still says "decision pending" Hope that's not a bad sign....accepted! interviewed 12/12. congrats everyone who made it, and good luck whoever is applying here. great school from what I could tell at the interview; did not expect to love it as much as I did
Does anyone know if WVSOM offers tours for prospective students?
Not yet, but the deposit details are in that yellow sheet we were given at the end of the day!Anyone gotten their acceptance letter in the mail yet? I wanna know the details of the deposit and such.
Did you just email Angie? I have my final fall grades and am unsure how to make sure they get them.Good to know. I was just happy I didn't get outright denied. My hold may have been to due to the fact that I haven't taken Orgo II or Biochemistry. I made sure to address that point in my email and also told them that I would be taking them both in the spring.
Yes.Did you just email Angie? I have my final fall grades and am unsure how to make sure they get them.
500 in state, 2000 out of state if you were accepted between 11/15 and 12/15 you have thirty days after acceptance to turn it in.Anyone gotten their acceptance letter in the mail yet? I wanna know the details of the deposit and such.
I interviewed 12/12 and haven't heard anything. They told us at the interview that we should know within a week. Since I hadn't heard I called admissions today. I was told that they met this morning but she couldn't give me the results. Said they had gotten really busy and she didn't think they would have time to update everyone's results before Christmas.Has anyone who interviewed 12/19 heard back today? I know it's soon but it looked like last week's interview group heard back the following day.

So, we just keep waiting. It's not a rejection. I'm hoping for good news. I really liked this school and the area and would definitely attend if I get accepted.
Good luck to you as well! Hoping we both get good newsOk thanks! I don't feel like they're the type of school to do silent rejections so I'll be anxiously waiting as well good luck to you!
Congratulations! May I ask how low your MCAT score was and what your GPA was? My MCAT was pretty low as well, but the rest of my application was good. Bummed I didn't get accepted.ACCEPTED! I really thought I had no shot with my low mcat score. I'm so excited! Interviewed on 12/19 and found out today, such a quick response
I got "decision deferred by committee" Does anyone know what that means? Is that a rejection?
So is that a bad thing? I'm guessing that means my chances of acceptance are low?All that means is that they haven't made a decision on your app and will look at it again the next time they meet!!

Easier said than done. I loved this school and was really hoping for an acceptance. But I guess at least it's not a rejection. Hard to feel optimistic though when so many have been accepted.Not necessarily, more than likely they just want to look at your app vs the next group before making a decision. Plenty of people have been accepted this cycle after being deferred so keep the faith!

Thanks! I'll send oneIf it's a school you truly want to attend you can send in an LOI showing that interest and it could be enough to put your application over the top.
Sure my mcat was only a 23 (I never took the new one) but I have a decent amount of rural medicine experience (EMT/firefighter in a small town for 2 years, medical mission trip to Ecuador,150+ hours shadowing MDs and recently DOs) and in undergrad I created my own major centered around health and cultural studies (cGpa 3.6, sGpa 3.45) then I took a year off, then got an MS in Biotech and health sciences from Johns Hopkins and got a 4.0. So they didn't bring up my low mcat but they did notice a significant upward trend on my grades (sophomore year I think I only had like a 2.5 gpa). But I have heard students getting deferred and then accepted later on! I think they just reevaluate you during their weekly meetings, so stay positive! Best of luck
Thanks for the response. My MCAT is the same as yours and GPA is very similar, but I do not have an MS, I will just be graduating in May. I also have many hours of patient care in a hospital setting, and lots of shadowing hours as well as a medical missions trip to the DR. I am going to send a LOI as someone suggested earlier and pray! Hopefully we will be classmates.

Hmm. The only thing I can think of is that I've heard from several different people and current students that this school admires non-trad applicants (people who took time off after undergrad to explore their interests) and older students because they are more certain about why they want to become physicians. Not sure how accurate this is lol. It's all I can think of (i'm 26). But definitely send a letter of interest/intent and individual thank you cards to your interviewers if you haven't already . I will be sending positive thoughts your way!
I called and that's exactly what he said. Since I'm 21 and a traditional student they wanted to take longer to decide. He asked for my fall grades as well. I feel better after speaking with them but I really love this school. Still hoping for acceptance!Hmm.

Anyone interviewing on 1/13 here?
Hello,I am!
Hello,
I have also applied to this school and filled out the secondary application in late October. Here are my stats sGPA: 3.3, NonScience GPA: 3.64. MCAT ( 128, 120,125,123), second attempt MCAT ( 128, 122,126,124) ; in your humble opinion, given my stats, do you think I may have a chance of getting an Interview Invite.
I got accepted with a 496I'm a non-trad student with a 3.64 s/c GPA who has a lot of volunteer hours (+2500) and clinical hours (1000+). I've always wanted to go here, but I am sort of struggling with the MCAT. I'm slightly discouraged to apply to D.O. schools now, however I've always wanted to go to this school and pursue a D.O. degree! What would be the lowest MCAT score that WVSOM will accept? Any tips and tricks for those of you who struggled with the MCAT to keep going?

Yes, they do. Stay busy! I sent them a letter of interest after my pre-interview hold talking about my interest in rural medicine and my experiences seeing the fall out from lack of PCP in my UG town (my university was in a rural region). It was received well by the admissions department (I received a nice email back). We shall see if it helps!What advice do you guys have for being placed on the alternate list pre-interview. Does this school take updates well- what kind of updates have you guys sent in? Any advice or information helps! Thank you!
