OOS experience review began 08/12, got an email and portal update same day (secondary received 07/16, submitted 07/28)
Yep. OOS received experiences review yesterday 8/12. Says can be up to 2 weeks so I wouldn't sweat it if you haven't heard yet. They have a lot of applicants.
But yeah, does everyone get an experiences review? It says "select" candidates. Any current students know anything ab this?
WMed uses phone II, personality test, and CASPer. Who the hell knows. It's probably out of your control anyways.I want to add this school when I get my MCAT score back this week, but the pre-secondary rejections are scaring me. Does anyone have any idea what they're screening for?

My first guess is CASPer. Less likely conspiracy theory is that they're lying about their GPA cutoff. One of the previous posters who got a pre-secondary rejection has a WAMC thread, and they have a 3.2 sGPA with an otherwise seemingly strong application.from what I know, phone II and personality test are after secondary right??
but you’re right, who the hell knows. It could literally be anything on primary/CASPer. I’ll just shoot my shot anyway. Thanks!
SamesiesI've still been in experiences review since 8/6
same ripI've still been in experiences review since 8/6
+1experience review started 8/7, under consideration for phone interview today 8/20
A post-secondary-but-pre-phone-interview step in WMEd's evaluation process. Their admissions website claims that its a selective step, however it seems that everybody who completes a secondary enters it. However there is a big variation in the amount of time that this process takes to complete between applicants, and as neurotic premeds it's crucial that we stress over minute differences in the length of the experience review.can someone tell me what experiences review is?

It's just them notifying us that they're reading our applications in detail. At some point after submitting your secondary you get an e-mail saying Experiences Review has started and then a few days to a few weeks later you get another e-mail saying experiences review is finished and that you're under consideration for a phone interview.So they ask us questions about us? and what do you mean that there's differences in the length of the experience review?
OH okay tysm for clarifying!!!It's just them notifying us that they're reading our applications in detail.

Last year I was lazy and didn’t do the assessment until November (secondary complete in September) and I ended up with an interview. I wouldn’t worry about it!I just got an email from them asking me to complete my WMed Online Assessment. I just completed it. My secondary was complete on 8/1. This is a huge gap between my secondary and this online assessment. Does this look bad on my file?
I don’t see how not having volunteer experiences with the LGBTQ+ community would somehow negate the diversity that being LGBTQ+ brings. My diversity essay is on that and I don’t have volunteer experience within the community. Idk who told you this.How did you all approach the diversity question? I’m a bit stuck on what do do.
My general diversity essay is about my perspective from my work experience, so that wouldn’t cover the second part of their question re cultural, socioeconomic diversity. Did you just use your regular diversity essay or write something completely new for this one? I was thinking about doing half about my work and half about being lgbt (tho I don’t have any volunteering with the community so I was told that would be a problem), but these essays are usually on just one topic.
I would appreciate any help!
+1!+1 !!! So exciting.
+1, OOS with tiesPhone II couple minutes ago too! OOS
Awesome, thanks for doing the digging! I knew that about half of phone interviewees get live interviews, but wasn't sure how much of a bottleneck the initial phone interview was. Best of luckFrom a graphic shared on last year's SDN thread for this school, I recall that about 800 phone IIs go out. On MSAR, they report about 4000 applications. So about 20%. Then about 400 people get interviews.
I am pretty sure in last year's thread they said it was basically a phone CASPer.
Began 8/6, completed on 8/13People with phone IIs, when were your experience review step completed?
