Congrats to everyone! How long did it take you guys to hear back after submitting your supplement app ?
 
I've been complete for over a month and have heard nothing. Still listed as decision pending. So I think their timelines vary greatly between applications

unfortunately it really varies, some heard a day after, for me it was 4 days, for some people it took a month. So no exact number of days.

Yes, congratulations everyone!!!
Also good luck to those who have upcoming interviews. The interview is very relaxed! Just go there and have fun, be yourself, and enjoy the day! Also you might noy have enough time to have all of your answers answered by the faculty, make sure to ask them med students during lunch. They were all super chill and nice.

I really want to practice primary care in rural areas and WVSOM along with ACOM (Alabama) seem best for what I want to do. WVSOM is known to be #1 in rural primary care, however the tuition for someone out of state like me is very high. ACOM seems for affordable and has great facilities.

Any advice from current years or any other SDNers why I should choose WVSOM? I am guessing most people will say it is a well known and established school. Just looking for your enlightened perspectives.

Thanks!

I am a 1st year at WVSOM. I don't know much about ACOM, but I have a lot of good to say about WVSOM! The staff is excellent. They care about you as a student and are willing to take the time to answer your questions if you need clarification. The campus is clean and beautiful. Lewisburg is a classy small town that provides way more than I expected as far as businesses, and is a comfortable enjoyable place to live. There are farmers markets, bread shops, plenty of chain food and specialty food, and many activities hosted by the community. The students that WVSOM accepts are great people. There is a strong feeling of comradery and everyone does what we can to help everyone else succeed and do their best. The school is well established as you said, and has ties to the area that have been long lasting. The community members love WVSOM and the students. It is a very safe campus and town. Students often leave their computers and backpacks unattended without concern. The curriculum is integrated so you get overlap between subjects. The anatomy lab is top of the line, and was so impressive when they built it that other MD and DO schools came to check it out to improve their systems. There is constant improvement going into the school, so although the tuition is high, the money is well spent. There are all kinds of clubs to get involved in, more service opportunities than you have time for, research opportunities, out of country medical missions, and simply good energy on the campus. This is without a doubt the most family friendly school I have seen. I am married with one son and another on the way. The school basically told me that any activity that significant others are invited to, kids are invited as well. They even have child care provided at some events by the pediatric club. If you like the mountains, there is hiking, rafting, rock climbing, camping, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, skiing, and basically every outdoor opportunity within an hour (most within 30 min or down the street). Great education in an amazing environment!
