I interview in a few days too and on the email when we received the II it says 10:15am. Look at that email
 
Can anyone comment on the number of interviewees per interview day?
 
For those who have heard back, about how long did it take to receive notice after your interview date?
 
So the verdict is that if you received that status update email but did not receive an acceptance then you are either waitlisted or rejected?

If so either way I will say I loved WVU but I have already been accepted to a school that fits what I want to do more so. I doubt that I will be worried about the verdict by WVU.
 
Wait so does this now mean that decisions will come within 1-2 weeks after interviewing now?
 
Is the Health Science Center is the same thing as the building listed as "Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences" on the campus map? Thanks!

Yeah that's the same thing! There's a north and south building (they're connected though). You will want the north building. Pretty much anyone can point you towards the student services office or at least the north building. Hope that helps!

yes! thank you so much, that helps a lot. I didn't want to end up at the wrong building for my interview
 
Can anybody elaborate on what times the interview takes place from? Somebody posted that it started at 10:15, but I need to know when it ends so I can plan for my departure ticket home. Thanks!

All interviews are in the afternoon and when you interview is luck of the draw. I got the last interview and literally sat in a room for about 2.5/3 hrs doing nothing

They start the interview at 1 pm to 3 pm...if you are the last to go, I would say you will be done before 4 pm to 4 30 pm.

As they said, luck of the draw. I was the first in my group. My interviews had reviewed my app thoroughly before
We met, they asked what they wanted, I had a chance to ask questions, and I was done by 1:15. Really is luck of the draw

Can you confirm previous statements that they just ask you to elaborate on AMCAS app?

They went through the experiences on my application and asked me questions based on it. Really low stress...
 
janebear1 said:
Yes, it was very general. Simply asked about my app and why I wanted to go there.

Awesome! I guess it's kind of fast-paced because of the volume of interviews. Still not sure why they interview so many! Seems like a hassle for them to have to go through this every single day!
 
any activity on the waiting list side? has anyone been offered a seat yet?
 
I just received the letter today telling me that I am on the waitlist. I interviewed on Nov. 3 and I am OOS in a neighboring state
 
I guess I'm waitlisted too. Interviewed on the 6th and received the status update email. oos no tie

I assumed no acceptance email means waitlist or rejection?

Are you certain that if you are accepted then they would send you an email straight up? It doesn't make sense that they would mail a wait list but not mail an acceptance??

No, I'm not certain. But based on previous threads, people are saying that you will get the acceptance email and the mail if accepted. If you only got the status update, that means you are either rejected or waitlisted

Anyone have any last minute WVU-specific interview tips? Mine is bright and early tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

Super chill interview, you have nothing to worry about! They just ask you stuff from your primary and why you'd want to go here.

By previous threads, do you mean previous years or just previous posts for this year, for which we have one data point (and that from a two post member)?
 
dlqo0oplb said:
This year lol

I'm looking through the 2013-2014 thread and I have seen no distinction made between status update E-mails and the content of the letters.
For anyone who just has a status update, I wouldn't give up hope for an acceptance in that envelope, especially since it is unclear whether acceptance is mentioned in E-mail. 🙂

If this is how they're doing it this year, it's new to this year. I have heard the rumor that's how they're doing it this year, but that obviously doesn't mean that's 100% how they're doing it.

If you received an E-mail notification, could you tell us whether that E-mail stated that you were accepted or just that you had a status update?

Email said... Congratulations.... it was a traditional acceptance letter
