Accepted just now! Interviewed 1/10. SC resident with strong ties to WV.
What is their first time pass rate?Finally got my II today! Been complete since end of July! I really feel good about this school because of everything everyone has said about this place, but I have to ask, do the board 1st time pass rates scare anyone?
On their website it says the 2016-2017 pass rate is about 87%, which doesn’t necessarily sound bad, but it’s just below average isn’t it?What is their first time pass rate?
Yeah that isn't terrible but its not great either. Most schools are 90-95% and aboveOn their website it says the 2016-2017 pass rate is about 87%, which doesn’t necessarily sound bad, but it’s just below average isn’t it?
During my interview, I asked them why it was so low. They said something along the lines of the curriculum/ test questions not being similar enough to board questionsYeah that isn't terrible but its not great either. Most schools are 90-95% and above

Pass Rate is very low......in fact one of the lowest in the country. The curriculum was changed a year and a half ago so those students will be taking the boards in the next 6 months so we'll see how it does. Some professors are good at writing board style questions and others just aren't. I'm not taking chances on the curriculum being better though because I personally don't think it is. I've been studying for boards along with 1st year material with that in mind.Yeah that isn't terrible but its not great either. Most schools are 90-95% and above
Please read the thread......this has been posted many many timesHey guys! I have my interview here on thursday and I am super excited! Does anyone have any advice for the interview? What type of questions should I be prepared for? Any political/healthcare ones, or are they all about your application and you as a person?
I had interviewed and gotten into Pikeville, and theirs was very laid back, so I'm hoping this one is too!
Hey so I'm also from California... the flight to Lewisburg was super expensive and there's only 1 little airport there. I stayed at an Airbnb that was basically across the street from campus, so I was able to just walk to the interview. Note: there is only 1 taxi there, so plan way ahead of time if you want to go someone driving distance and don't want to rent a car (it takes like 30 mins for the taxi to get to where you are).To anyone that has already interviewed, can you please give me some more insight on the structure of it? (Like 1v1, 1v2, open vs closed, types of questions(any curve balls). Im interviewing next month and any advice would be much appreciated.
Also, I'm flying from California. What are the recommendations for airports and hotels?
Please PM or respond to this.
Thank You and good luck to all
Are there any uber or lyfts?Hey so I'm also from California... the flight to Lewisburg was super expensive and there's only 1 little airport there.

Lol no just a single taxi driverAre there any uber or lyfts?
I rented a car for $60 for 2 days. Very cheapHey so I'm also from California... the flight to Lewisburg was super expensive and there's only 1 little airport there.

Where did you rent the car from?I rented a car for $60 for 2 days. Very cheap
Avis at the airportWhere did you rent the car from?
How did anyone who interviewed here manage flying (if you had to fly)? I'm coming out of Florida and the flights are incredibly expensive ($500+) from Greenbrier, Roanoke, and Yeager. Any recommendations/tips for finding a cheaper flight? Or is it just a bullet I have to take? I even tried different interview dates and the prices were still fairly the same. Help?!

My flight from Arizona was $650, not including hotel fees. I bought the bullet and loved the program, and interview day. You Can’t really get around it. It’s an investment for your future.
Hi,
I'm also from FL (Miami). I flew into Greenbrier which is 5 minutes down the road from some decent hotels and 10 minutes away from WVSOM so I definitely recommend it if you do not want to make the 10-16 hour drive from Florida. The Greenbrier airport flies united and it hubs in DC (Dulles) and Chicago (ORD), and there's one flight in and one flight out each day for each airport. What I did is buy one way flights from Miami to DC and from DC to Greenbrier. Roundtrip it ended up being a little under 500. It was very stressful with all the snow and delays in the flights, and I wish I had just driven up, because it ended up being a 20 hours total travel time to get to Lewisburg and I did not feel well rested for my interview.
Alternate list sees a lot of movement. They might have filled up their class already and be interviewing for the alternate list now.Hey guys, I'm a first time user. I interviewed last week and was put on the alternate list today. I was wondering if anyone can attest to the alternate list movement. Do alot of people generally move off of it? not sure if it was answered in a earlier post.
yep they are. and thanks, I checked the last year's thread and they have alot of movement towards march (b/c of the second deposit deadline). fingers crossed!Alternate list sees a lot of movement. They might have filled up their class already and be interviewing for the alternate list now.

just be patient, it will come!I sent my II on 1/10 still waiting for an invitation. Getting nervous.
just be patient, it will come!
I'm debating on whether I should send in my secondaries for this school at this point lol
there are way to many questions and I'm not in the mood of writiing them anymore sigh
i wonder if this school is worth it
I think so. I interviewed Friday and was put on the alternate list today as expectedIs the school for sure on the alternate list now? It looks like last week people were accepted and put on the list. Maybe they are just being more picky? Or do they just fill up the class then do the alternate list? Thanks!
did you get a call or was it up on the portal ?I think so. I interviewed Friday and was put on the alternate list today as expected
Congrats! I interviewed thursday, fingers crossed I hear back soon!Got accepted today via phone call! Interviewed on Friday. Can't wait for July.
Good luck to everyone else that is still waiting. And to the others that interviewed on Friday, I enjoyed meeting you all!

To me, Lewisburg is beautiful. A handful of places to eat, big box stores like walmart, lowes, a furniture store, several chain restaurants. This seems like a lot to me though because i come from a small town myself. Others from larger city areas may not feel the same lolis anyone else worried about this school being in the middle of nowhere and the lack of diversity.. or just me?
Where will you be going instead? and what was your deciding factors? if you dont mind me askingLate to post
II 12/17
Accepted 12/18
Reluctantly I am deferring my admission offer. I loved the campus and faculty! Best of luck to everyone with an upcoming interview.
