During the interview, the AdComs said that on each offer date they will admit approx. 25% of the number of students they plan to send acceptances to. So from what I understood, if they plan to send for example 400 acceptances, they'll send out 100 of those on each offer date, give or take.
I'm still in a bit of a shock, but feeling so grateful!
congrats!! complete date?OMG you guys, my first II invite! I actually teared up for this one a bit...VCU is my ultimate top choice. I love this school, I've visited their med school and spoken to the Dean many times when they came to my campus. So welcoming and it's an amazing place to be

Can you give any insight into how letters of recommendation factor into the selection committee scoring? I was invited for interview before one of my letters was sent in. That letter waswas s the day after my interview but hypothetically it could have been uploaded to AMCAS after your committee met to assign me a score, so I was just curious as to how letters are evaluated.
If they’re still doing the same things as last cycle, it looks like the only people who get post II rejections are those that failed the interivew and scored 4-5 on the committee review. Last cycle they were released around the same time as offers
VCU asks for three, which tells me you likely already had at least that many in your file. If it didn't arrive until after your interview invite, it was not considered.
Post interview rejections do not correspond with offer dates in any way.
Did you get an email along with the portal change?
Thanks! earliest date is in mid-January
RIP. Complete 7/11ish here. January?!?!?!
Lol +1 for mid July. Is there still hope? Doesn’t the interview season end in feb
Yes, I did - it just said my status had changed!
Don't lose hope guys! I'm pretty sure the interview season runs until March. I know several people from my school who have gained acceptance to VCU after interviewing late or being put on the waitlist. The biggest advice they tell me is to be yourself and let your passion shine through, instead of trying to fit certain expectations. I heard interviewing late does not hurt for VCU because they have an equal number of spots for each offer date. Also, if you read some of the posts from previous SDN VCU threads, you'll see many who interviewed later be outright accepted or come off the waitlist. Reading those posts gives me a lot of hope, so maybe it will be helpful to you too
I did! Just a quick little blurb.
VCU does not accept applicants that are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States. The only exception to that are Canadian citizens, who are treated as out-of-state residents. Note, however, that foreign nationals with Canadian permanent residency status do not qualify.
Thank you for clearing that up!
It doesn't rain too much in November, but if it does, you can take the Pulse bus from the hotel two stops and it'll drop you off right outside the school (assuming you mean Hilton downtown, not Hilton Garden inn which is by the airport?).
I did contact them a while back.. They didn't provide me with any information except details about the letters that they have received. I'll try contacting them tomorrow again.
I sent an update and they said they added it to my file
Before!
Whoops- I just double-checked the reply they sent me- they didn't tell me that it was added to my file, but did reply and say "thank you", so I'm not sure if they actually took it or not
No the 400 would be the total including those from the waitlist. Their class size is only a little under 200, so divide that by 4
Do you know what VCU's post-interview acceptance rate is?
