Hey people, I was at Western yesterday with my pre-dental club. I also got put on the alternate list. So I asked them about the stats of this year's pool. Western told me they accepted all 64 deposits for their seats at the moment and they also have 80 spots on the alternate seats, from over 300 people whom they interviewed. They will start calling people off the alternate list after their second deposits come in on April 17th. So be ready!!! Good luck to those who really wants to go to Western!!!They're going to randomly select, basically pull names out of the lottery for people who are coming off the waiting list.
Interesting fact I learned while at Western. Their accpeted students have lower GPA and DAT than the alternate list group.

What a genius move by the adcom in establishing their charter school ( That's what happens when the Dean is not involved in the selection process!). Will check with them after they took their step 1.
GPA and DAT scores are not everything, especially at western because of their patient centered holistic approach
btw look at ASDOH's stats and then look at their student pass rate for the boards part 1, do they have a problem? no.
and I dont know if Dr. Koelbl was or wasn't involved in the selection process, but even if he wasn't there are plenty of deans at reputable schools out there who also aren't involved in the selection process.
Where were they that you could possibly choose Western???? Thats just stupid
If you guys had to choose between Western and USC, which would you guys choose?

Everyone that I interviewed with that actually got in (including me ), had excellent stats. We were told that our class will be made up of unique, and diverse individuals. Not just book smart students.
Thats not far from the truth. I have two friends that interviewed at Western U. One applied in July, had 22 AVG DAT, ECs to boot, and 3.8 sc GPA- he was WAITLISTED. The other, applied in late October, had 3.4 sc GPA (TWO Cs in both OCHEMs), no ECs, 20 DAT- he got in Dec 1. Needless to say, the 1st one is now at a cheaper school, while the second has no choice.
