Several folks have stated they went from deferred-->interview.Not sure if being “deferred” is just a pre rejection or if I’ll actually have a shot at an interview. Does anyone know if rejection letters have been sent out or is everyone either getting an interview or deferred?
I saw something that said ~450 interviewed, ~310 accepted, and 216 matriculated.
The earliest date for an interview was 09/07. This was the date that I interviewed and they told us that we were the first group of interviewees for the year.II earlier today! anyone know what the earliest date is for an interview?
What is your source and what year?
I was told they won't interview you until your DO letter is received.Has anybody received a secondary without a DO letter? I just sent WVSOM my MCAT score (received 9/26), which is why I haven't heard anything from them yet. My DO letter writer has accepted to write it on the AACOMAS portal, but just has yet to send it in. I'm wondering if I should bug him about it or just wait for him to send it? I've already reminded him about it twice since June. Thanks!

Have you gotten an email back yet for interview dates?So in my portal a week ago I noticed that it showed my letter of recommendation had been uploaded. I emailed them yesterday to see what my application status was. I received a reply back today telling me that there was a change in my application and that I have been invited for a personal interview. I was told that I will receive details later.
Hey, first year at WVSOM here, would totally answer any questions I can about the school/town/whatever

Hey there! What laptop did they issue you guys this year, and how is your class liking them so far??
If/when you guys are accepted and pay a deposit, the school has a housing portal where local landlords post what they'll have available, pics, contact info, all that stuff! That's where I found my place. I live in a little duplex/house thing, but I know people that rent free standing houses, have apartments in complexes or downtown, it's a pretty good variety! Coming from a city, it was definitely cheaper... and like anything it's cheaper if you find a roommate. I did on our class FB group. People tend to post housing listings on those FB groups too, in the new class and upperclassmen groups.What do you think are the best housing options??

Cute little town I may be biased cause I like small towns in general, but it has everything you need. Basic grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Lowes, places to eat out that are cheap and pricey. Honestly there's a few cool bars with some good food, a brewery, some awesome brunch places... nearby places to hike/bike/do outdoorsy stuff. A movie theater! There are farmers markets 2 days a week! A lot of the downtown stuff is within walking distance from the school too which is nice.I'm sure I can answer these questions myself when I come for my interview, but what do you think of the town?

Interviewed here on Friday, 9/29. I was very impressed. Granted, it was only my second interview, but I would absolutely go here. The campus was gorgeous and spread out, but not too big where you felt like you needed to walk for miles just to go from lecture hall to the library. The anatomy lab was well lit and well ventilated, the gym was pretty great too.
I have no clue why this school isn't more popular, did I miss something? The students I spoke with over lunch described their board prep in detail and it was comprehensive, with results to back up their claims.
This makes me so excited for my interview!! Definitely in my top three choices...I can hardly wait to see it. I hope all goes well and you get that acceptance!I completely agree. I bumped into one of my interviewers after the tour was over and told him how much wvsom "blows other med schools out of the water" lmao (we all know of those schools that consist of 1 or 2 buildings and a parking lot). The school was honestly incredible in regards to so much more than the campus and I feel so confident that those of us who choose to attend wvsom will get our butts kicked in the process but walk out fantastic doctors
I'm in the same boat.I submitted my secondary about a month ago and still haven't heard anything. Anyone waiting for this long? I don't know if I should just call them and see what's happening.

It's all so exciting when the secondary emails keep pouring in, you fill them out and submit them. 5 mins pass by and you wonder why you haven't gotten an II yet. Then you realize that you have to wait weeksThat makes me feel like I'll be waiting a loooong time. Obviously feels longer when you check your email every 30 minutes lol. I was complete September 29-ish due to taking my MCAT so late. So I'm sitting here hoping for a secondary app to come in haha. I hope you hear soon!
When I called about this in July they said they wouldn't even look at my application till my DO letter was inI was told they won't interview you until your DO letter is received.
weeks? I've been under review at some schools for months now. settle in, friend.It's all so exciting when the secondary emails keep pouring in, you fill them out and submit them. 5 mins pass by and you wonder why you haven't gotten an II yet. Then you realize that you have to wait weeks
Sigh. There isn't anything else to do but wait lol.weeks? I've been under review at some schools for months now. settle in, friend.
Just got accepted to WVSOM class of 2022!! Such a great school, but the area isn't a great fit for me! Hopefully someone else will enjoy my spot in the class as I plan to withdraw my acceptance. I will be attending RVU-SU instead!
Anyone interviewing this Thursday (Oct 5th)?
Really? I received an II last year in October and it was scheduled for 1st week of December. Surprised they are already into January. Wonder if they are getting close to filled class?II couple days ago! next interview dates look like to be in the beginning of January
I have been complete since August 10 and have no heard anything back. On the portal it still says application under review. Does WVSOM do silent rejections or do I just need to be more patient?
Is there a current student who can answer this for me? Does WVSOM do rankings?
I didn't get a letter or email for deferred decision; my portal just updated saying itDoes anyone know if rejection letters have been sent out or only decision deferred?
Pre or post II?I didn't get a letter or email for deferred decision; my portal just updated saying it
oh sorry that wasn't clear, pre interviewPre or post II?
Same. If the earliest interview is in January, does this mean that it is for a waitlist spot or still a shot at acceptance?II today! Complete sometime early August.
