How many did they interview last year? Anybody see any stats on that for this school?

I sent one of those. It doesn't seem to helpI ended up withdrawing from this school. But on my interview day there was A LOT of people as well. Most likely they interviewed a lot of ppl this cycle.
From past threads it seems like people who sent in a letter of intent ended up getting in. Not sure if it would work this cycle, but its worth a shot. Especially if the letter is well written and highlights the school's mission of helping the underserved.
Goodluck to everyone!
Do you think the admitted includes the admitted off the waitlist?Oh yeah found this on their website FAQ--->

For sureDo you think the admitted includes the admitted off the waitlist?
What’s traffic day?Traffic day for DOs typically occurs around May 15 so definitely still early for waitlist movement

Right, but I think what GOAT is trying to ask is what is the reason for the waitlist movement?Where most waitlist movement occurs

By May 15, DO students who have multiple Acceptances need to choose one and withdraw from all other As.Right, but I think what GOAT is trying to ask is what is the reason for the waitlist movement?
I was waitlisted even though i have above their average stats, i fit their mission, and am URM. I am OOS though, perhaps that played a role. And I withdrew ~6 weeks ago.We’re you accepted or waitlisted? When did you withdraw?
So are you saying that some of the people on that fb group are people that have been accepted but eventually declined the offer and now have still not been removed from the fb group?A lot of people keep talking about the # of members in the class FB group... One thing to keep in mind about that is that there's a chance that some of the people in the FB group may have been accepted and paid the deposit to secure a spot, but might still end up withdrawing if they get a late A to a school they might prefer over UIW. This is something that happened with my husband's class page (diff med school) as he was going through the application process a few years back. Just some food for thought.
I think they mean that there are some students who have accepted and paid their deposit, but still had interviews or were waitlisted at their number one school. And if they get into another school they will give up their seat so they will leave the fb group but nothing is known yet until there's more movement at other schools waitlist and stuffSo are you saying that some of the people on that fb group are people that have been accepted but eventually declined the offer and now have still not been removed from the fb group?

But maybe we’re not accounting for the fact that interviewees could’ve also gotten rejected. Do we know if people got rejected after their interviews?Ok so what sucks is the accepted number includes Waitlist movement which means around 230 of the people interviewed last year did not get accepted even after Waitlist movement. That's a lot and probably higher this year. It being towards the end of the cycle too, don't think we should get our hopes up. Plus seems they are filling their last seats with last minute high stat candidates who could even be competitive MD candidates.
Based on the posts here it seems like everyone they interviewed got waitlisted, which honestly isn't right because it gives some people false hopeBut maybe we’re not accounting for the fact that interviewees could’ve also gotten rejected. Do we know if people got rejected after their interviews?
Good point. Also, people who did get rejected are probably not following this thread. Hopefully, they were successful elsewhere, but either way their focus is probably not on UIW right now.Yes, when I interviewed back in September there was a pretty even amount of A, WL, and post-interview R’s. Keep in mind though that the people who post on SDN are a small percentage of the interviewees.
How do you know the results of everyone you interviewed with?Yes, when I interviewed back in September there was a pretty even amount of A, WL, and post-interview R’s. Keep in mind though that the people who post on SDN are a small percentage of the interviewees.
Yeah is that based off of what people posted on this thread back in September or what? Not gonna read back that far lol.How do you know the results of everyone you interviewed with?
The class is not fullI tried calling admissions to ask if the class was full, no answer. I emailed them yesterday, so I'll let you know what they say!
How do you know?The class is not full
I called admissions twice and they eventually called me back and I was able to ask all of my questions. She was very helpful.How do you know?
I think that's the case for acceptances offered before May 15th. It says on the AACOMAS website that candidates who are offered admission after May 15th may be required to pay a deposit immediately. But again, they might pay it and take advantage of the 15 days in case they get accepted elsewhere. Also, the FB group went down by 2 members (I know it's not a lot, but YAY)When I was accepted off the waitlist, I was given two weeks to decide.
I am unsure if this is common, but it might suggest these acceptances come in waves, as in people who accept obviously take up a spot, but those who reject may wait the two weeks or close to it.
Congratulations!! That’s amazing!!!! So, it was a call? Rather than an email?Just got the call - accepted off the waitlist! That means I don't have to take the MCAT again! lol
Yup! I was kinda surprised by that. And thanks! Glad I won't be applying as a 31 year old this next cycle.Congratulations!! That’s amazing!!!! So, it was a call? Rather than an email?
Thanks for the info! You deserve it - you’ll be great!!Yup! I was kinda surprised by that. And thanks! Glad I won't be applying as a 31 year old this next cycle.
What’s your stats if you don’t mind? Wondering if they’re accepting only very high stats off the waitlist!!Just got the call - accepted off the waitlist! That means I don't have to take the MCAT again! lol
What was your mcat?Just got the call - accepted off the waitlist! That means I don't have to take the MCAT again! lol
Pretty good stats and excellent experiences. Was this your only acceptance?503 mcat, master's in biomedical studies (cancer immunology) from Baylor, 2 years as a clinical research coordinator at the VA, 1 year teaching micro at a community college, ~3.5ish undergrad gpa and 3.96 grad school gpa. Also did a ton of shadowing and community service

Interviewed Feb 21.
Waitlisted Feb 26.
When is the DO multiple acceptance decision date? I also sent in a LOI & haven’t heard much about getting off the waitlist.
Yes, I was on 3 waitlists. I’m actually really surprised the acceptance came from UIWSOM. I was on their interview waitlist for months then interviewed and got out on their official waitlist, then accepted.Pretty good stats and excellent experiences. Was this your only acceptance?
Great! Is UIW your first choice?Yes, I was on 3 waitlists. I’m actually really surprised the acceptance came from UIWSOM. I was on their interview waitlist for months then interviewed and got out on their official waitlist, then accepted.

Has anybody on this thread actually received the UIWSOM Mission Scholarship (I haven’t seen anybody post about it)? Does anybody know how many are given out?
EDIT TO ADD: I know this has been posted before but I think it got lost in the comments about the WL.
Had you also received your financial aid package? And has anyone received this yet?Hi I received the Mission Scholarship, however I withdrew my offer at UIWSOM two weeks ago. If you receive it, you will get an email.
Definitely a more well established school that’s accredited. But I guess some people also take location into consideration.
