Thank you for your reply. As a future physician I believe that after counseling a patient about the pros and cons of any treatment, we must respect their choice even if we may not agree with it.
One of the faculty told me originally that I would hear Thursday/Friday so don’t lose hope!
Same but everyone in this thread got the call on Wednesday and only denial emails on Thursday so I’m pretty bummed.
I guess for the benefit of learning more about the school/program, then sure that can be a plus. In terms of it adding to the probability of you being accepted, I couldn’t answer that. I didn’t go to one and I got accepted. But then again, I do not know your background . Regardless, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to go.
I just accepted a seat at WVSOM and I am really interested in the statewide campus approach that they are using. They told me that they only use a lottery if too many people want the same sites. I am a non-trad and will probably have to buy a home near the campus. Do you think everyone gets there 1st - 3rd choice without the use of lottery, or is everyone pretty much fighting for the same spot?
I am super non-trad so I don't know how helpful my stats will be.... I have 501, slightly above 3.2 sGPA, first time applicant. I'm pretty average all the way around as far as tests and stuff, but I have a decade of experience in the medical field and I manage the radiology students at my hospital. I really feel that this school likes non-trad because they asked me about my experiences in medicine a lot during the interview. Hope that is somewhat helpful!
I am non-trad as well. So no worries! Thanks for your input!!!
I'm also non-traditional but I am more than happy to share my stats if it can help someone else!

So in regards to rotations, I heard they are all in-state which is amazing! But how does housing work while you are doing rotations, are you expected to commute, or is housing provided for you? I'm wondering bc if I attend I will be coming with my SO and she works in healthcare so I want to know beforehand if she will keep having to leave positions to come with me for rotations.
I interviewed in November! The interview was first and I was interviewed by 3 different faculty. Relatively short interview, but definitely loaded with questions. Most people on SDN reported the interview to be low stress but I felt the opposite. My grades/withdrawals and MCAT scores were the big questions and I felt that there were only a few open ended questions where I could speak about myself. Afterwards you speak with 2 current students and ask questions which I loved. Then you speak w/ the dean and I think someone from admissions about the school and ask more questions. I got the A 6 days later!
Oh okay thank you!! So like 8-2ish total time? And congrats on the A!
I got an II, but waiting for this upcoming week to hear back, took MCAT three times, last time 514, uGPA 3.01, masters GPA 3.3. Both with upward trends. Lots and lots of clinical experience and connections to rural medicine.
Update, admitted today!
To be fair, when I posted this there was no mask mandate. I'm glad they require them again on campus. Honestly, it has been a lot better with the new administration of the school this year. Back when I was a first year and especially the beginning of last year, it was beyond negligible how they treated it, so I'm glad it seems to have improved in that time. COVID has been a thing for over 2 years now, I was mostly referring to experiences from my first year.
