Just to not leave yall on read, I'm going to be completely honest.. I was surprised to receive an II since my stats are sub-par. But what I emphasized a lot on my app was my passion for primary care, osteopathic medicine, and I have a lot of EC's in community health local/abroad. So maybe when they're saying "minimum requirements" its more than just MCAT/GPA. Good luck to you both though! This path is long and hard but hang in there!
I thought of this, but the way they phrased/structured it made it really sound like they were referring to GPA/MCAT. I sent an email for clarification since they are so open to giving feedback. Maybe it was just poor phrasing.
+1, I have a sub-par MCAT at best but felt my passion for primary care got me the II. On interview day, my interviewer said they are good at finding students who fit their mission and care about that more than metrics alone.
Was just thinking the same thing, but I hear enough of the "oh, I got email/call at [weird time]" that I'm still going to be at least a little on edge lol.
Update: They replied saying that the bullet points are areas my app "could" (they put in bold) be lacking. They then said that one area is not necessarily the definitive answer to why I did not get an II. However under the bullet point for "Competitive GPA and MCAT" they said that they have "determined that minimum requirements have not been met." Sounds pretty definitive to me but I digress lol. They probably copy and paste for these and it was just an error.
I think mine was a bit after I was accepted-- maybe like a month or more. Also, I've never been drug tested for PNWU so no, they don't do them regularly but they do reserve the right to do them randomly I believe.
+1 I'm honestly still in a state of disbelief. Spent a lot of time trying to not let my hopes get too high! Congrats, I look forward to being in the same class!
I made a weird noise over the phone and made her laugh.
I was called while in the car with my cousin. I’m shaking so much too. I’m in love with this school and love everything they stand for.
It's also a weird point in the workday, so no one is answering their phones, so y'all are the first people I get to tell lol.
I just got the call and I hear they call throughout the day! Until 6:30 even!
Yay! I just got moved from 3/25 to 3/18 too! 😁
I made a list of all the faculty and presenters and wrote personalized emails to each!
Thank you!
Same here hahah!

Thank you! So does that mean the group activity is done in breakout rooms or something to make the group smaller?
Oh! It was definitely done in a smaller group. A few days before your interview they will sent you an email with the times each of your interviews will be held. I believe there was around 20 people in my group interview maybe less.
Congratulations!!
you're still in the pool!! don't stress out a lot that we are now in February, this year is so different due to covid and virtual interviews.
Congrats! You have to mention on the email when you choose your date that you would like to waitlist for sooner dates. Then you’ll be notified via email if you’d like to move your interview (space permitted)
2/10 gang! Stoked for next week 🙂
Yesss, I'm so excited! Hoping it goes well for us, I'd love to go to this school! 😁
Hi! Congrats on your II! As was previously mentioned, you need to indicate you'd like to be placed on the waitlist for a sooner date. I felt the same way... it was hard to wait and not reach out to inquire about available spots, but I learned they go down the list of interviewees as spaces open up. Given the recent bump up in my interview date, I wouldn't be surprised if you also get bumped soon! Good luck! 🙂
I second this!
I think we find out either today or tomorrow 😳
Oh ****!
I wasn’t aware of the selection rate. Where did you hear that?
Somebody posted up the amount of applications, the amount interviewed and the amount selected.
Don’t let those stats spook you! There are so many other factors they don’t take into account. It ain’t over til it’s over! 👍🏼
Yeah. Just unsettled over lots of WL stuff. It seems that more people are getting shoved in that direction.
