II just now!
Just wanted to add to this that while Hague Club (EVMS housing) is not the only rooming option, if you are hoping to live really close to campus (ie. across the street) it is probably the best option (I have friends who live in the other two really close apts Pembroke Towers and Hague Park and based on their feedback, Hague Club is probably the most preferable). I do live at Hague Club so feel free to message me if you would like more info or are in the area and would like a personal mini tour!
Also as an applicant who is from the Hampton Roads area, there are plenty of great places to live in Norfolk/ VA Beach that are in the vicinity of EVMS!
Does anyone know when those how interviewed on 1/20 will hear back?
Your best bet is probably to email one of the three emails listed on the admissions site: https://www.evms.edu/education/medical_programs/doctor_of_medicine/contact_us/. (I came off the waitlist so I didn't do preview weekend and I think @mcatjelly was in the same boat as me)
I could be wrong about this but I recall them saying that last year they got through the entire top third of the list so I would say our chances are good!
I might be completely wrong, I just really thought I remember them mentioning that. I could be mixing up schools though! Hopefully someone else with a better memory than I or more recent interview might be able to confirm or deny! Either way as an OOSer in the upper third I'm feeling pretty good about my odds!
Were they only talking about the OOS waitlist?
I think so.. Although I might honestly be mixing up schools so take everything I'm remembering with a large grain of salt. If anyone else heard anything concrete one way or another that would be helpful!
I can say for certain that EVMS did NOT get through the entire upper third waitlist since I personally know someone who was OOS and placed in the top 1/3 and didn't get off the waitlist. As it was previously mentioned, EVMS will take people off the waitlist based on similar demographics to the applicant who declined their acceptance (gender, OOS/IS, experience types, etc.) and they will start with the top third. If they don't find a match, they will move to the middle third and so on.
I think the 2-year MCAT rule is to primarily homogenize MCAT scores across all applicants since the previous cycle included a mix of the old and new MCAT test takers--you can always confirm by calling our admissions office since they're super friendly and helpful
Best of luck with your application cycle!Do you know which third you are in?
