How long after applying did you guys go from APPL to FILEC?

June 25 -> July 3

I submitted the first day so it's likely that they were able to get to mine faster.

Would you mind sharing stats and if you're OOS?

 

[Frecklesss]

Got my first R today. In-state applicant with 506 MCAT, 3.87 cGPA, and 3.98 sGPA. I think it could have been my clinical experience. I had about 250 hours but I've heard this school likes more. Good luck to you all throughout the cycle!!

 

[KrabbyPatty]

For those people who got II, did they send you an email or did you just find out when you opened your portal?

Email!

Sounds like yield protection to me, but it could be your clinical experience.

 

[imnotarobotwoohoo]

LM ~ 70 OOS

Not a chance.. No offense to the other user, they have a great cum/science GPA but a 506 MCAT would never be yield protected

 

[Frecklesss]

Yeah, I'm not sure what else it could be. I'm applying exclusively DO and this was one of my top choices so it's a bummer for sure but I'm trying my best to stay positive 🙂

 

[Frecklesss]

Haha no offense taken, I agree! 🙂 I thought I would be a fairly good match because of their mean MCAT score but maybe they're looking for additional qualities that I don't have.

Your stats were definitely competitive for the school! I think as you suspect, it may be the clinical hours. I've also heard that they weigh it heavily.

Just a note, COA here is ~95k/year. Just another factor to think about. Just about the same as UColorado as an OOS Student, FWIW.

Where are your 3 II to already?

 

[VinceFromSlapChop]

Any current students here that can explain the "tracks" more in depth than what is on the website? Specifically the rural and wilderness track.

[wsu_premed]

200 hrs hospital volunteer, 100 hospice, 100 shadowing, 12 volunteering with the veterans hospital.

 

[wsu_premed]

When were you complete?

7/16

 

[Agentcross]

new tab "clinical education" added to the portal with a preceptor contact form. odd.

As someone applying with a family, $1860/month for room and board is amazing. You can definitely save some COA by not accepting all of that if you don't need it.

How long did it take to get File Complete status? I submitted my secondary on 7/15 and it still shows “Applicant”.

 

[AdductorMagnus]

I’ve heard 2.5 weeks. I submitted on the 7/14 and it still says applicant

 

[Agentcross]

I’ve heard 2.5 weeks. I submitted on the 7/14 and it still says applicant

It was 2.5 weeks for me.

 

[grail1997]

Does RVU have student hosts for people coming from out of state or anything like that for the interview?

 

[Senor...or Seniour? Hmm]

2.5 weeks for me

This was my very same question. I've been checking the applicant portal neurotically, scared that perhaps I had done something wrong.

 

[Senor...or Seniour? Hmm]

My application was complete on 07/13. Still not on file complete status 🙁

Is all of your stuff listed as received on the portal? I sent in an LOR late to AACOMAS and had to email them to update it.

I don't believe they do

 

[Senor...or Seniour? Hmm]

I don't see anything about LOR's anywhere on RVUCOM's portal.

 

[Cornfed101]

I don't see anything about LOR's anywhere on RVUCOM's webpage.

Under the applicant tab, there is a little section that looks like this:

Aaaah, I see. I've emailed them about it. Thank you!

You saved me a few days! Thanks for your input. Once I emailed them, FILEC within 5 minutes.

 

[Senor...or Seniour? Hmm]

I suggest you email them; same situation for me, apparently if you have LOR come in late, they don't update automatically. Good luck.

 

[AdductorMagnus]

What did you say in the email? I emailed today inquiring about the LOR's and they said not to worry and that my app just hadn't been reviewed yet.. I wish they would've changed mine to FILEC! 😆 I submitted my app and letter on like June 5th.

 

[Cornfed101]

II! OOS

 

[Agentcross]

I suggest you email them; same situation for me, apparently if you have LOR come in late, they don't update automatically. Good luck.

sorry for the confusion. my file has been marked "FILEC" complete since the 12th. I also had to email them to get my letters to be updated.

I sent my email to: [email protected]
I just let them know my letters were there, but hadn't been updated. June 5th? Sarcasm or serious question?

 

[AdductorMagnus]

Yeah my email said basically the same thing. For clarification, my primary app was submitted June 5th and my letters had already been uploaded to AACOMAS at that time. My secondary was submitted on 7/14. It just seems odd that mine is taking so long, but I'm sure they'll update soon.

EDIT: It showed up as FILEC on 8/1/19. Woohoo!

 

[deleted991583]

Does anyone know if they're providing food at the interview?

 

[Cornfed101]

Does anyone know if they're providing food at the interview?

Yeah, that's what it says on the interview scheduling page.
