Hello Debbie! Could you speak on how far in advance the interviews are being scheduled at BSOM?

We are scheduling early to mid November. If invited for an interview you may pick any date that is available that fits your schedule. At times we may have an opening from a cancellation or more interviewers signing up for a certain day. We will give you our next available date and go from there.

Hi @macdeb59 Debbie, in your experience, do interview invites go out more quickly after the first day decisions are released as some people may turn down interview invites since they have been accepted at a school they would rather attend elsewhere?
 
@macdeb59 Hi Debbie, is WSU releasing acceptances to students from a particular interview date range? For example, at least one school that I know of has communicated that they are releasing acceptances for students that interviewed up until 10/3. Is WSU Boonshoft in a similar situation?

No, not really. We have to do interview invites paced, because if we made all the interview invitations at one time we will be booking February interviews in September and schedules change in that large of a time frame. I know it is hard, but be patient with the system. 🙂
 
Sounds good. Thanks for the reply!

Hi @macdeb59 does WSU do interviews based on stats or based on first come first serve basis? So would applicant A who had maybe a 505 mcat and say 3.6 gpa and submitted his secondary in early august versus applicant B who had maybe a 512 mcat and say a 3.8 gpa but submitted his secondary app in October; who would WSU give preference to for an interview invite? I am curious because I have submitted my app in late July and have not received any communication after that. Thank you!

Applicants are reviewed as quickly as possible. In state is started first and then out of state a week or so later. We have committee members working on both. Since we are a state school our most interview invites will go to instate. Out of state are interviewed as well, just less of them. We accept about 30% from out of state. With that said....when reviewed if a decision was not made to interview you may be looked at again later in the process and invited for an interview. That is why rejections are not made after the first evaluation. Decisions to invite for an interview are not solely based on GPA and MCAT scores. Volunteer, leadership activities, clinic experience etc is taken into consideration as well.

I hope this helps. I know this is long process for y0u....as well as on our end.

Congrats on the retirement and I hope it is fun and fulfilling. It can't be easy dealing with us neurotic pre-meds... thank you for your kindness, I definitely made this secondary a priority because of you

I'm slightly nervous that my application is not complete. I received a receipt for the secondary fee but I don't think I ever received a complete email after I filled out the secondary back in August.
 
IS here, complete mid-July but haven't heard anything yet. I remember waiting quite a bit for my secondary app too, I received it after e-mailing admissions to ask about my status. Should I do the same now or keep waiting? As an IS student this school would be a dream come true for me!

Hooooly ****! My parents randomly call me out of nowhere with some good news. Apparently they got a letter from Wright state with my acceptance! I didn't even expect to hear back yet! !
My God this feels good after getting waitlisted at one of my top choices.

Congrats!! when did you interview
 
Rejection came in the mail yesterday, post-II. Oh well, wasn't really in love with the school when I interviewed there anyway. Hopefully all of y'all get good news!
 
Rated by mail yesterday. Interviewed mid October. Still wondering how a rated status is different from being placed on the waitlist

They email those who are accepted to let them know to check their mail for their acceptance letter. Those who are rejected or put on the waiting list only receive a letter in the mail.
