I would hope so 😔 I thought getting a secondary from here was a good sign. But it has been silence since
So I realized that I never received the file complete email last week! Yikes.. The school doesn't email you if one of your pre-reqs was incorrect until they have had time to catch up, so they put you off to the side (which makes sense). Most of the schools I applied to will accept my Upper Division Biochem lab in place of Bio lab. EVMS doesn't and I feel silly not seeing this earlier in the cycle so that I could register for bio lab. 🙁
In other words, GO DOUBLE CHECK for the file complete email if you've had nothing by silence since submitting your application. It may be too late for me, but maybe not for you in case you overlooked something me.
If you find a discrepancy, I recommend calling the admissions office 757-446-5812. I emailed and didn't get a response, but I called had my questions answered very quickly!
May the odds be ever in your favor! 😌

Are they open to calls like that?
When I applied in 2018-2019 I was able to talk to Dr. Kimble for application feedback. One of his recommendations was to call them by November if I hadn't heard anything.

Is this applicable to OOS applicants as well?
Not sure why it wouldnt be. Worst thing they can do is say "no, we cant comment on your status".
Not sure, our son just got told he is in the mid-third. So, looks like he'll be going elsewhere.
I got in earlier this week after being in the top third of the waitlist. So, it's possible!
Hmm that’s true. Do you recommend calling or would emailing be fine as well? I’m really interested in EVMS and hopefully they are interested in me as well

How often do people in the middle 3rd get off the WL? EVMS is my #1 choice and I really would like to go here
From someone who has completed a SMP at a different medical school before applying this cycle, I would say it shouldn't hurt your chances with the MD program to apply to their Med Masters program. Most SMP like these are designed to aid students to get into medical school anyhow and I'm sure 99.9% of students apply to SMP with the sole reason of bettering their chances to get into Med School ESP the MD programs that are linked to that particular school. If you're still concerned, I'd try giving them a call and seeing how they view applicants applying to both the MD and Med Masters programs concurrently. You never know; they may say they see it all the time and may give some advice on if they feel you are an ideal candidate for that particular program. (For instance, the school I got my Masters at had a blurb about being able to use information from AMCAS for their application, so I think they expected applicants to apply to their program if/when the Med School cycle didn't work in their favor).
Just my 2 cents on your stats, however ... they are spectacular, so congrats on that! I know it may not be possible, but I would try to get some feedback on your application to see if there are other areas of your application that could be improved upon that wouldn't require more schooling. SMP/Post Baccs are typically pricey programs meant to enhance academic readiness with a sprinkle of MCAT Prep/Med School Application Advising/ Community Service opportunities depending on what kind of program you choose. With a 3.8 and 513, your metrics (AKA academic readiness) is more than likely, not the thing holding you back from interviews or acceptances.

Thank you so so much for your kind words! Your acceptances are coming as well I know it! I'm always willing to help so feel free to PM me.
I interviewed last week but I didn’t receive that email. When did you interview?
Last week as well. It seems like a thing geared towards URMs. It came from the office of diversity and inclusion so it might not have been sent to everyone.
I am an URM so , imma just wait and see
