Anyone else interviewing February 18th and flying in to Pittsburg???[/QUOTE
Hi s2thindi, I'm interviewing on the 18th. However, I'm taking a rental car from Columbus to Morgantown. So I'll see you there🙂 ...Are you planning on taking the bus?

I think I'm just going to rent a car... seems easier. See you there!
I just interviewed on Monday. i was told that the admission committee meets once a week. Everyone is waitlisted at first, and your file will be considered until acceptance. the class is less than half full, but they are expecting to fill the class by March 15, tentatively. In the month of January, they only accepted 4 ppl... hope this helps.

On the 18th how many people were interviewing? All OOS? Was your interview for MD only or for a combined program?
Applicants for MD program only. After leaving, I wondered about the DO students. I'm curious if they have a separate school or if they come in contact with the MD students at all. Do you happen to know the answer to this question, docgirl?
Thanks Golf Shoes. Did they still have snow in Morgantown?
If March 15 is the big day, next two weeks should be busy for the Admin Committee if class is less than 1/2 full. Seems like all those ?marks will magically disappear soon. At least those of you who interviewed recently won't have to wait months like Felipe.

DO students as in students at the Osteopathic School? Or am I just not familiar with the abbreviation? I may be able to help 🙂
s2thindi, I am planning to send a short thank you letter to my interviewer. I am putting it in the mail today.
redbud, I interview 2/18 and Beth Ann said the class is now 3/4 full! So its getting fuller and I'm getting more nervous haha
As far as I am aware, the only osteopathic school in WV is WVSOM, which is in Lewisberg and is not related to WVU.
Yes, I'm curious about the location of the osteopathic school. Is it separated from the undergrad and medical school campuses? Do osteopathic and allopathic students ever interact?
Are you sure you interviewed on the 18th? That's when both s2thindi and I interviewed and I'm pretty sure I didn't see you there (all OOS applicants). 🙂
You are absolutely correct Golf Shoes, I interviewed the 2/19. My mistake 🙂
Has anyone who interviewed the 18th or 19th gotten an e-mail regarding a background check? I got one on Wednesday.

hey docgirl, I also interviewed on the 19th. Where you the other WV resident there?
I have not gotten a background check email yet, but I'm surprised that you received an email, because up to now I have only been notified mostly by mail (other than the secondary request). Does the email specifically say its from WVU, or is it a background check request that AAMC asks for?
I believe the CBC (criminal background check) signifies an acceptance. Can anyone confirm this? It is sent through AAMC and not the particular school. If this is the case, congrats Docgirl! I predict you'll receive an acceptance soon. Either of you know if acceptances are sent through standard mail?
Yes, I am the other in-stater from feb 19th interviews. I was accepted at Marshall Medical School a few months ago so the CBC could be from them. WVU is my first choice however so I hope it is the result of an acceptance from them, but I'm not getting my hopes up! It didn't state a school, it was just the generic CBC from amcas.
WVU sends their acceptances through the mail. I have a few friends who've been accepted already and they all received letters via snail mail. It would be nice to receive a phone call or an e-mail just to expedite things. We should be hearing something by the end of this week since the committee met today and will probably send out letters tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!
just called beth, they are 25 short of a full roster and are hoping to fill them up until "after next week"
Has anyone been rejected from WVU? Or do they just put everyone they interview on the waitlist/alternate list. When do they give out rejections?
I got the impression that they either accept or waitlist. Then they have a pool of applicants to select from when someone withdraws. Beth Ann said this list is not ranked, but arranged in alphabetical order so calling to get your rank will do no good.
thats not how it works at all, they put you on the list in alphabetical order but they look through all of them each week and pick out the ones the they like the most
Docgirl - what you said is exactly what I was going to say. WVU is also my number one choice, and I too was accepted by Marshall back in November. I also did the same AMCAS CBC. I totally forgot that you were docgirl during the interview. How did your interview go, because i thought mine went so-so and was extremely short (only 20 mins)? Well best of luck to ya, and hopefully I will see you at WVU this fall 🙂xf🙂, but like you, I also am not keeping my hopes up. Let us know if you receive any good news in the next couple of days, as i will too. Best of luck again, and hopefully the committee has made their decision yesterday, and not pushed it back another week. The wait is horrible.
A friend of mine interviewed yesterday (WVU's very last interview day) and his interviewers told him that they weren't promising anything, but that he would probably hear something by next Friday. Soooo maybe that means we will all hear something by next Friday. I would assume so at least. Let's hope this means the wait will be ending soon!
