Is it possible to be invited for an interview after receiving a post-II rejection last cycle? I have made many improvements to my application including course grades to boost sGPA, two new LOR’s, and research experience. I have also been in continued communication with admissions. Last year I interviewed beginning of March so trying to hold onto hope. However, not sure if it is even possible to reinterview at a school you were rejected at so if anyone has insight I would appreciate it

I can’t speak for this school specifically, but I did receive an interview from a school I received a post-II R last year

That’s strange, did you follow up?

 

[Puertorrican in MIA]

Hey! I haven't been on SDN for a few years but decided to come pay a visit. I'm a fourth-year WVSOM student who had a pretty successful during my time. I scored well on my national exams and applied to some competitive specialties for residency. I also purchased a house in Lewisburg which has turned out well when I moved here. If you have any questions about the school or area, let me know and I would love to help!

Hi! Do you happen to know anyone who has done the Bridge program with West Liberty prior to attending WVSOM? Thanks in advance and congrats on being on your last year!!

[tanmal]

Can someone tell me what this Fireside chat is about? Will it benefit me to attend this? I thought it was an interview invite 🥲

You get more details in a follow up email soon.

Information session + Q and A. I don't think it you are evaluated for your attendance but if you are interested in learning more about the school check it out.

 

[DrResetti]

How long after the acceptance phone call do we get a formal e-mail?

 

[Jambandman]

How long after the acceptance phone call do we get a formal e-mail?

I got the call on a Wednesday and got the email on that Friday.

I think it will benefit you even if a little, if they recognize you and you are in communication with admissions, shows you're interested.

Edit: I like to thank that it helped my case.

 

[Jambandman]

Can a current student comment on how the classes are?

Are any of them mandatory except labs?
Are any classes P/F?
What is the quiz/test schedule like?
Are tests made in boards question format?
Have you had ample time to study for boards/any dedicated time?

 

[tanmal]

Really? Did you get an interview after attending one?

 

[J_Silver]

So I attended their WVSOM Virtual Open House and 2-3 weeks later got interview invite, then most recently I attended their Fireside Chat and got my acceptance after not hearing back for 2.5 weeks,

Congratulations!! Thats amazing!! Man I regret not attending the first one I got invited to this month. Will definitely attend the next one. WVSOM is close to family and I really want to be close to them during med school.
