My status is still "under review" and my letters have been uploaded for 2 weeks. Now under my status it has a link that says "e-pay supplemental application fee." Although, I have not received an email about an update at all. Does this mean I get an interview if I go ahead and follow that link and pay? Thanks!

I just called them about it, and they said it should not be happening. They said to watch for an e-mail. I just got off the phone with them.

Just got a II!!!! It came through email. Also, my portal hasn't updated at all (still says under review), and my lors weren't updated on it (must be techincal issues)

I'm so excited! The Admissions staff has been the best and so amazing!!!! I can't wait to meet everyone!

Hey all, new to SDN. Just got a II to WVSOM on Tuesday! First one of the cycle. Scheduled for 10/5! Figured I would hop on here to stay in touch with everyone. Trying to stay calm and not get my hopes up, but US news report graph places their estimated stat of students getting an acceptance if offered a II at around 90-95%. Not sure how accurate that is but...good luck to all!

Stats: 3.5 cGPA/ 3.6 sGPA/ 499 MCAt
Notables: 27 year old non-trad OOS applicant / ER technician with ~800-1000 clinical hours

Good morning, and congrats on your II. Our stats are very similar for the most part, except a couple! Here's to hoping they interview me soon.
Notified through email?

Just FYI, WVUSOM and WVSOM are two different schools. Make sure you don't say WVUSOM in your interview lol.

Yup! I don't know where you're coming from, but I'm OOS and staying at a nearby hotel the night before. Many have reduced rates for interviewees, so I would mention that if you need a hotel.

From what I've read, it's a 30-minute interview with two faculty members and the director of admissions or admissions program administrator.

Those with interviews, when were you complete

How do you know if you are complete?
 
Complete 8/11 and have yet to receive a decision from this school. Status on portal is "Application Under Review." Is it too early to call admissions to ask about my status?
 
Letters uploaded to portal...says prerequisites still needed but they know they are currently being fulfilled. Do you think I need to take any further action prior to getting a II decision!? Just sitting here waiting anxiously all week for II or not:nailbiting:

I also received an II today!! Does anyone know the acceptance rate of applicants who have received interviews? I can't seem to find a reliable source anywhere.

I have seen several sources say exceedingly high chances like 90-95% get accepted post II. So to all that got II congrats on most likely knowing you will be a doctor unless you have some serious issues interviewing.

Yes it is. Be patient, it took them 3+ weeks to get back to me. Actually caught me off guard, so just wait and distract yourself :)

Yes it is very encouraging! It is the highest I have seen for any school, MD and DO included. Many DO school post-interview acceptance rates are higher than MD (usually ~75% and higher depending on the DO program, with some MD programs being as low as ~25%), but I have heard WVSOM being in that 90%+ range. These are averages so do not quote me on these, just what I have read and heard.
