How long after you sent your secondary did you receive an interview?

I contacted the admission office before I saw your post, and I was given the same information. They want the banner application emailed to them.

Are you serious? Well, I already sent the snail mail lol. Might as well do both.
+1
I also emailed and received the same response. The change has been made on the "Banner Application" section of the secondary as well.

Hey guys, I'm a rising second year at WVU. Let me know if you have any questions! I'd probably be better at giving info about the school itself, but I can try to help with application questions too. Good luck everyone! WVU is an awesome med school!

Awesome Congratulations!! When were you complete? Did you receive a complete email? Also are II via email or snail mail? So exciteddd!
I submitted the secondary on 7/6/14, and I did not receive a complete email. The interview invite arrived via email, and they included a link to schedule the interview online. I picked the first date, which was September 4th.

complete? and CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to get my first II!!
No completion email. Just the interview invite.
I meant when did you submit your secondary?
I never got a complete email either but I submitted the secondary on 7/8. Interviewing 9/4, can't wait to meet some of you all!
II! scheduled mine for 9/12!!!!
Submitted last Tuesday, so 7/8/2014.
How quickly did you guys get secondaries/rejections after sending your primary? Mine was verified on 7/8 so it's only been 6 days, but I just wanted to see what their turn-around time was.
Whenever the adcoms get to your application lol. I was verified 6/5, and I didn't receive every secondary on the first day schools could send them out.
lol I know that, just wanted to see how long it was taking them. Some schools have short turn-around and others really long. I wasn't anxious about it or anything, just curious lol
From what I remember, WVU is pretty quick. I think they meet on Tuesdays so you may hear something late tomorrow or Wednesday.
still waiting for my damn HPEC committee to send my letters!!!!!!!!!! congrats to all who got II, WVU looks like a great place to be!
Wow they are pretty quick! I got their secondary today 😀

I would try to turn in AMCAS before August, because it can take awhile to get verified. I'm not much higher than you with an MCAT of 27 but believe it or not a couple points can make a difference. I've seen ppl get in with low stats, even still you have to know its more difficult with scores on the lower end. Your ECs seem fine, although only 5 hours of shadowing is very low compared to most applicants. I would increase those hours too.
Nothing here either. Submitted on the 13th

Haha, I would say that you shouldn't stress too hard about it. Last year, it was about a month until I got the II after submitting my secondary.Did any of you who submitted their secondary on or after 07/11 receive an II yet? I submitted on 7/12 nothing yet. SDN is making me neurotic
. I just want my interview please!
Is it too early to freak out? lol
I also submitted today (received 5th as well), I think that they would include today as well. I submitted everything online and then sent them an email as well with all of that info. They sent back an auto reply saying they received all of my info, so hope all goes well! Does anyone know if they discriminate people based on how late you turn in your secondary though?
Trying to submit now. On the secondary application page, I keep getting this message "The entered values cannot be saved. Please see the fields below for details." Did you guys get an email after you successfully completed the first section "secondary application". I have been able to submit every section and receive confirmation via except for the first one you're supposed to do =/. I got 56 minutes until the deadline.
Please help some!

Unfortunately, I think that might mean you are closed out. 🙁
It might be that you have to enter in information in a different order though. I entered in essays first then banner, then secondary app, and then signature and payment. That just made sense to me. The biggest thing is if they send you an email saying they received your information.
So there has to be a bug with their application... I finally was able to submit the application as of 11:54 =)! But there is an issue...
So for the past two hours I have literally tried to submit on three different computers. I have used every single browser possible from Internet Explorer to Chrome. I reset my computers, reset my router, I did everything. I was getting desperate so I began messing with the fields on the application. On the application it asks "have you applied to WV before," "If so when". I am a re-applicant so I answered yes and said 2013-2014 for the when. On the try that worked, I answered no I am not a re-applicant, removed my answer from the "when:" text box and sure enough it finally submits...
So good news I have submitted the entire application before the deadline! But now it isn't accurate =/
You can always send them email or call them to explain what happened. Good luck btw!
Already did! Thank you, good luck as well!
Did all of you guys that got interview invites have your letters in all already? I just submitted the secondary but my letters won't be in until maybe the end of this week, is there a chance I hear from them without my letters being in?
Sent via email. Didn't get no confirmation email.
EDIT: WVU has changed the method of submission for the banner app to electronic.
