Waitlisted OOS. IIRC one of the med students mentioned they pull ~50 people off the waitlist yearly.
Ouch.

[/QUOTE]Waitlisted IS. Are IS and OOS waitlist treated the same or does one have a better chance at getting off than the other?

How is that ouch? 50 people is ALOT to pull off of the waitlist..Ouch.
Rejected IS. Very confused. Interviews went great, etc, etc....
Sorry to hear that 🙁Rejected IS. Very confused. Interviews went great, etc, etc....
I agree with this sentiment to contact admissions. They accept the majority of IS applicants so if I were in that position I would be trying to figure out any possible red flags.Sorry to hear that 🙁
I suggest you contact the admissions office and ask what went wrong. They usually tell you what led to their decision and it'll be something you can learn from.
Probably not since they wont tell you.Has anybody reached out to admissions to find out where you sit on the wait list?

True, but it's also one of the biggest waitlists of any school. We'll probably see 50 people waitlist just on SDN by the end of the month
accepted yesterday as well 🙂 took me about 24 hours to realize this was real life
OOS, Sept II, LizzyM 67
It seems like they waitlist hundreds of OOS for around 50 acceptances or less. I am taking my WL as a rejection. Holding out very minimal hope for WVU.
nope, from the northeastAny ties to the state/resident of a neighboring state?
Rejected just now :/
why I wanted to move there from a big urban city when I had no ties to the state.
Does anyone know how the interview waitlist works? I would like an earlier date but not having much luck switching to earlier ones I can see are available
Do you have high MCAT?OOS, 3.97 GPA, Waitlisted..... Does WVU SOM even consider extracurriculars?
I know this is more of a rhetorical question, but I'll comment anyways. I would say they definitely consider extracurriculars, considering they are pretty much all we talked about in both of my interviews. I don't think they would waste their time if those things weren't to be considered.OOS, 3.97 GPA, Waitlisted..... Does WVU SOM even consider extracurriculars?
Its Okay.... from what I can gather, I limited myself with a 124 in CARS even though all other subsections are above 75th percentile.... (Biology 99%)Do you have high MCAT?
Yeah it was both rhetorical and actually a question...When I asked for feedback it seemed they are more focused on the statistical aspects of the applicant.....even though I was above average in those fields it seemed they were looking for exceptional statistics. I guess such as life....I know this is more of a rhetorical question, but I'll comment anyways.

Don't be surprised by getting waitlisted. As many have said here, most OOS applicants get waitlisted initially. Having a high GPA doesn't necessarily grant you admission anywhere. Anectodally, I think MCAT is weighed more heavily since it somewhat controls for how rigorous your undergrad institution is. Even then, it's all about the interview. Stats just get you in the front door.Yeah it was both rhetorical and actually a question...When I asked for feedback it seemed they are more focused on the statistical aspects of the applicant.....even though I was above average in those fields it seemed they were looking for exceptional statistics.

Honestly, thank you! I guess I just got pretty PO'ed when I first heard about it. But I appreciate the comment.Don't be surprised by getting waitlisted.

Would also like to know.When does WVU begin pulling from the waitlist typically? Towards the end of the cycle or constantly through out?
