anyone know how we can access the answers to the essay questions?
submitted my secondary a while ago and my responses to the questions aren't on the portal.

I don't think you can. When you submit it gives you an option to print/save your application before officially submitting. I believe that was the only chance to record your responses.

For the question about intention to work in rural and urban environments, do they want you to say you only intend to work in rural environments and don't intend to work in urban environments, or is it okay if to be interested in both? I see they seem to emphasize rural care

got the email saying they require the DO letter, oh well I'm going to write up an email and try my luck out with them.

Hi just curious? did you have to get a DO Letter?
 
Kevvv said:
Got deferred because I couldn't get a DO letter in. Looks like they still hard require it. FYI ARCOM can waive it this year.

Maybe try asking a DO who works in a private practice if you can shadow them? They seem to have less restrictions or paperwork than hospitals when it comes to shadowing

Does anyone know if WVSOM accepts AP credits? I heard they have a couple years ago but I'm not sure if they still do

They do! They had no issues with my bio, chem, or English credits.

Edit, adding following text: I should add, as long as your college accepted the credits as well. Sorry seems obvious but wanted to include just in case.

For the "Have you been convicted of an infraction of local laws or city ordinances, summary offenses, misdemeanors, or felonies that are not listed on your AACOM application?", why don't they give a box to explain?? I got a speeding ticket when I was 16 so technically that qualifies as a local law/ordinance, but when they bunch it in with misdemeanors and felonies I feel like it makes my app look bad.
 
II just came in.

OOS w/ minor ties (Va Resident); 507 MCAT; meh GPA; complete 7/25/20

Thanks!

The email gave me a choice of three possible interview dates, and I had to reply to that email with my date preference. They confirmed that the interview is virtual via Go To Meeting, and that the "interview day" starts at 8am EST and ends around 2pm EST. No details on what the agenda is.

No, I think we meant when averyprettymoose had their interview invite (II) compared to their submission of secondary date. Your submission date and interview invite were clear! Thank you~~

I submitted my secondary on July 9th but had to provide some residency information (July 27th) and still haven't received an II. Sitting here very nervously waiting for the "Application under review" to change lol!
 
II today - also my "application under review" status never changed (just a heads up)

I just got an email that D.O. LOR is still required, but that your application can still be considered without the D.O. LOR. Does this mean that you can still get an II without the D.O. LOR? (I have an M.D. LOR but I guess that won't be useful here...)
 
Received II today. OOO w/ no ties at all to WV but from rural Northeast. applied primary on 7/14 and submitted secondary on 7/17.

Can anyone comment on my chances of getting an II with a 3.49c 3.36s (upward trend) and 504 OOS?
