Do you know what their screening standards are? I'm OOS and haven't heard anything from them since submitting my application back in June.
Just got rejected too. I'm totally confused by this, the email didn't even specify why, just that either i don't have 3.5 GPAs, 30 mcat or haven't completed prereqs. But, I do have over 3.5 cGPA and over 30 mcat. I've already graduated and I should have the necessary prereqs for the school.
Maybe it's because my sGPA is alittle low (3.47)? I looked it up and it said they do accept AP credit. I'm beginning to think it's because I took some prereqs my first semester of freshman year, in which all the courses were pass/fail by school policy.

Oh well ssdk, thanks for letting me know that I've got some company. WVU ain't gonna slow us down
haha happy to join the club, nelly. i called the school and they said i got rejected cuz my mcats were too old (7/08), they want to see scores from sept, 2009 and up. i hope she misspoke and meant 2008 rather than 2009 b/c otherwise a lot of good candidates might get screened out this way.

Haha. I just got screened out too. Their screening for OOS applicants is pretty rough. At least I have one less secondary to fill out.
I did. AMCAS received them about 2-3 weeks ago.
maybe you will pass the screen because your 29 is so close to the cutoff, and your GPA is way above? IDK but good luck either way

Haha, same here.. getting my first rejection blows 🙁 but we still have to keep fighting everyone! Good luck to you all!! =]
Dang, screened out too! Didn't want to go here; but man, it's my first rejection too. That's cool, I knew my crappy MCAT score would bite me.🙄
I think its nice to know your rejected right away rather than have schools give you secondary and you work ur ass off trying to write essays and pay like $100 and 3 months later you find out, ur rejected.
Anyways, I applied here 2 days ago. have 31 (8 verbal) and above average gpa. Think I ll get screened out?

I feel you! except Physical Sciences is my killer... good luck.. don't feel bad.. we're not the only low MCAT peopel on this site.. even though it probably feels like it when ya read about all the 35+ people being like, "OMG where should i apply?!?!?" pfft.
I have a 28 too 🙁... what's your GPA if you don't mind me asking? Are you in-state? Is your 28 balanced?
bpost137 or jadealer...are your LOR's in at WVU? Mine are not and I havent been rejected yet (29 mcat)...it seems like the people who have gotten rejection letters from WVU already have them in. As opposed to the people who have yet to send them in are still in it.

All my LORs are in... maybe they are easier on people in bordering states or from rural underserved communities or non-traditional.. cause I am all three.. and no rejection yet.. who knows..

public ivy? that wouldn't happen to be in NJ would it??
i ask bc i just graduated from a school in NJ that is a 'public ivy'
No, not NJ.
So I guess hearing nothing from WVU is a good thing at this point..

No, my LORs aren't in yet... I'm still waiting for one more (I can't send in my letter packet until they're all in).
This is the school I'm interested in. Have moved here from NY, was told I'd still have to apply as OOS. Average 3.4 and yet to take MCAT, but practice tests looking in the high 20s.
However, I am a nurse practitioner currently working in the state. Does anyone have any insight or direct info as to how the committee views NPs applying?
Thanks.

It's probably good if you haven't heard yet... I'm still waiting too... sigh.
Last year's thread seems to indicate that secondary = interview. Scary. O_O

My LOR have been in for 2 weeks now and my AMCAS was submitted on 6/5 so it was verified long long ago.. I didn't get a secondary yet or a rejection.. I think they are using my app as a paper weight or doodling paper for ad comm meetings.. because I can't imagine they are going to give me a secondary with my 29...
i got an email from the admissions office saying that after processing my app, i apparently don't fulfill WVU's English requirements. so i sent an email back to tell them about the writing courses i've taken. even though i already have interviews at other schools with the same English requirements, they told me my courses still don't fulfill the requirement. i guess this is my first rejection?
I would say so.. Looking at last year's thread, they seem to be quite strict on the pre-reqs.
Just received secondary.
I just got the secondary as well. I'm at work, though, so I haven't had a chance to look at it.
Just thought I would give a little hope to the sub-30 OOSers..
I got a secondary with a 29P and I am OOS from western pennsylvania. I had an 8 in PS! 3.8 cGPA, 3.73 sGPA... so there is hope for those who might not be perfect OOS applicant. p.s. I did not attend UG in WV either and am not URM... but am a little non-trad (been out of school 3.5 years)
