Great, thank you
If you have interest in rural medicine/PC WVSOM is about as good of a choice as you can make
So what are the total expenses from your experience? Is there a cheaper way? Flights are going for about $350
Great, I’ll look into this. The drive for me is roughly 8 hours so I’d def rather take a flight if it’s not too expensive. Are there any hotels nearby that are decent and inexpensive?
This question has been asked before and still answered, I'm curious too because I'm on it as well
This doesn't address curriculum, but does provide a pretty nice estimate of expenses: Educational Costs | West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
Their claim to fame is the fact that they are number one in the nation in graduating students who practice in rural areas/Appalachia. Being in the middle of nowhere is a major plus for me personally and the main reason I applied there. These are the kind of areas I eventually want to practice in.
It might be in the middle of nowhere, but there is plenty to do. There are restaurants for days around here and if you love outdoors, this is the place to be.
If you already have an interview here, then don't worry about getting the update in.......obviously still send it, but it doesn't need to be verified before your interview. Bring a copy of your most recent transcript (doesn't need to be official) to your interview and give it to your interviewers. This is your best opportunity to talk about how you have been working hard to improve your grades and prepare for med school. Don't tell them about how you raised your GPA and that you've been working hard to do that......talk about how you have changed your study style (if you have) and how that has helped prepare you for the rigors of medical school.
Thanks! I just got an II last week.
Where are you going instead?
