I know, I just noticed, too :/ That's kind of a bummer. Oh well, guinea pigs aren't always the best thing to be...there will be glitches and what not with the first trial of anything. The only thing I would be wary of is if you are a 2014er who is adamant on PBL--you may want to reconsider this now that you will have a complete flip in curriculum for your 2nd year. Just something to think about...
"Next fall they are getting rid of PBL for the incoming class, but not introducing the case base learning method until the following year."
From what I take, they're getting rid of PBL according to schedule (that we were under the impression of, aka for this Fall), but the whole "integrated curriculum" we were anticipating also for this Fall will not be in affect until Fall 2011, a year later than what we were thinking.
right, but will we get it as second years?
I was at WVSOM yesterday and loved it. School was beautiful and people were so nice.
Today I checked my status as Annette suggested and it says "Accept Applicant." No congrats or anything, just that and info on some of the other forms. Is this what it said for everyone who got accepted? I want to get really excited but still kinda holding back just in case. Please let me know if that's what it said for you.

Yo so I have a interview in about two weeks any advice guys? I know this is a not good question to ask, but what are the chances of an acceptance if I seem like a likeable person?
I suggest looking over the interview feedbacks for WVSOM. It's open file, so they ask question specific to you. Here's what I was told by the students we ate lunch with. They start judging you as soon as you park your car on campus. (No pressure) So, be polite, be positive, and be yourself.
And I agree with phillies09, Angie and Annette are both wonderful, and about the friendliest people on earth.
I have an interview on 2/24 in the morning. Anyone else??
when did you get the invite?
Received a phone call last Thursday.
I interviewed here on 1/22 and was accepted 2/2! I am so excited, I totally am in love with this school and can't wait to start in the fall!
Hey everyone. I sent my deposit in today. I joined the FB group and I'm excited about meeting you all. Best of luck to anyone left to interview and I'll see you in the Fall!
YAAY!! accepted!!!
Congrats!! And....canes....as in, Miami Hurricanes??? I just graduated from the U this past May.....
yeah!! I graduated 2 years ago... took some time off did research and worked and now getting back to school. so i'm super excited
Can someone tell me how often the adcom meets? I have an interview in early March and was wondering how long before I may get an answer.
That make's THREE of us now! What a small world. Whodda thought 3 canes would end up in rural WV for med school! I think it's best we don't have the distracting invitation of the grove on a Thursday night or Key Biscayne on Saturday afternoon to drag us from our studies, though However...being in northern WV right now...the snow is KILLING me. I could go for some Miami vitamin D right about now. Congrats, again!
hey guys!
does anyone know about how long it takes for the school to mail out the acceptance packet? and how long from the time that we get accepted do we have to put the first deposit down?
I was just wondering...i don't think it'll sink it fully that I'm accepted until i get that packet lol
I've been trying to log on to the checklist to see if my supplemental info and check have been received but have been getting an error message since last night. Anyone else having this issue?
I've had a problem viewing my checklist since yesterday too.
call the office
Ha ha, yeah I might in a couple of days, but I already know they got both of my deposits, so I'm satisfied for now...
Just curious..is a LOR from a DO mandatory for acceptance or can it be from an MD?
I just got a email saying decision deferred. What does that mean? Before I called because my status has been decision pending for a while and they said they would pull my file now. After, that they emailed me and asked for more info. about my grades. I emailed them a letter and now I a got decision deferred. Can anybody offer help?
