Haven't seen a thread started for UIWSOM yet (beside the one that closed to further replies a few months ago), so I went ahead and put this up!
I got the secondary invite today, verified 5/23 and TX resident. Questions are the same as 2017-2018 cycle:
"Explain how your exposure to and experience in the medical profession has helped prepare you for osteopathic studies? Provide specific examples."
"UIWSOM is the first faith-based school of osteopathic medicine in Texas and mission driven. How will you contribute to the UIWSOM by fulfilling this mission?"
"In preparation for the MCAT did you use a professional preparation course (Kaplan, Princeton Review etc.)? If so, please indicate course and process for using it."
Word limit changed from 250 to 200, and they added,
"If you are reapplying to UIWSOM, what have you done to strengthen your application since you last applied?"
I'm excited about this school. I love their location and faith-based mission. Best of luck to everyone applying this cycle!
P.S: Not sure if it was the case for last cycle, but the email says that you have 2 weeks from reception date to complete and submit the secondary. I'd better get to it, then!
