Just received my second wait-list email today.

yet another waitlist. <sigh>
So, for all those who have been waitlisted, you guys didn't recieve any letters, but rather an email? What about rejections, are those sent in email or in letter form?
Would recieving no email, possibly mean that an acceptance could be on the way???
If you guys don't mind, when did you guys recieve your most recent email/letter? Today, yesterday......

I received the wait list email this afternoon.
Rejections are sent via USPS. I've heard that the rejection letter is sent in a standard commercial envelope with a single sheet of paper inside.
For an acceptance, I believe you're typically looking for a larger envelope, as it would indicate your acceptance letter along with additional forms and papers necessary for a potential matriculant.
Since a lot of people seem to have received the waitlist email today, if you didn't receive one today it probably means you were accepted or rejected, but who knows. I imagine most of us we'll be waiting here at least until May 15th if not throughout July. I've also heard that a majority of students (from past years) accepted were waitlisted.

An email rejection? Damn..
So, rejections are sent by mail and email? Or is it just a one time thing with the email? Does anyone know?
Because if we don't recieve any email (no rejection/waitlist) can we start getting our hopes up for an acceptance?
A friend of mine received his rejection letter via snail mail.
but was it recently (3/15) or was it from a while ago?
No it was back in February, somewhere around the 18th.

Interviewed on 3/5 with 9 other OOS applicants, received waitlist email yesterday afternoon
Does anyone know if acceptances are handed out as people are rejected/withdraw from the list or are they only given out once a month when the admissions committee meets? Thx

Well, I was told during my interview that by 3/15 a "tentative list for AMCAS" needs to be made, so I figured that they will also need to have the right amount of acceptances for their class given out by then too. So, i figure that they would send acceptances during the same time, but then again, I havent recieved anything yet and no one else has stated that they have gotten an acceptance recently.
Thank you so much Felipe23. I haven't gotten an email yet, so 🙂xf🙂, i hope i have an "acceptance coming my way"
Good news for you guys....
I also received the waitlist email yesterday... and received an acceptance letter today. It was in a standard envelope--just one sheet of paper. Totally weird because I got the email yesterday and thought it actually might be a rejection.

received an acceptance letter yesterday! it was a single sheet of paper so in a regular sized envelope. im in-state so maybe theres more to it for out of staters.
Interesting! Did you receive a waitlist email too or just the acceptance letter?
No e-mail. Just got the acceptance letter in the mail on Wednesday.
for those that are waitlisted, i'm dropping off the waitlist due to an acceptance elsewhere, good luck!! (oos)
Hello everyone! Any news?!?!
Nope, and I'm not expecting to hear anything until May 15th and after, but who knows.

Anyone hear anything from WVU lately?!
I've been waitlisted at WVU since about Nov, maybe Dec and have been getting the "waitlist updates" by email. So, I got an "update" yesterday saying I was still on the list, etc etc.
Today, I got an email rejecting me from WVU b/c I have another acceptance. I'm happy going to the school which I got into, but I was so surprised to get rejected from the waitlist! Oh well. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

congrats to you guys too! ya i tihnk i most likely will be attending (im still waiting on a few other waitlists but i am guessing they will not work out since its so late in the game)
yea i checked facebook and couldnt find anything

I'll be attending..I really enjoyed WVU and the area.
Something to ponder: When I was speaking to the gentleman from admissions that contacted me today, I alerted him that I had received an in-state acceptance from a waitlist two weeks back. He seemed entirely surprised, almost shocked..He immediately started asking questions about my likelihood to attend WVU...perhaps if he had known I was already accepted elsewhere, my name might not have been called...much like the situation jevpitt had..

I was just wondering if any oos applicants with minimal ties to west virginia recieved an interview with an MCAT score that had a section lower that a 10. I am considering applying for this next cycle, but I heard that for oos applicants with no ties to the state they are looking for at least a 3.6 gpa and a 10 or better on each section of the MCAT. My gpa is around a 3.7 and I got a 12ps, 9vr, and 10bs on the MCAT. I would really like to go to a smaller more rural school like west virginia since I came from a small town and am interested in rural family medicine. Any reply would be helpful.
I would definitely apply if I were you.
Definitely apply. I have similar stats and will be attending this Aug. Good luck! WVU is a great school.
I will be starting MS2 at WVU in August(soon!!! noooooo!). I might be of some assistance to anyone on here.
Edit:
You should have already received your peer advisor mail. You can also ask him/her for info.
