Experiences review completed 9/30 but I just realized I had only sent 2 letters of recommendation..when 3 is their minimum. Sent two more in just now but..I think that may have killed my chances 🙁
I phone interviewed in August and only heard back late last month - it's never too late!
ahhh ok that's encouraging to hear at least!

I had my PI 9/7 and have had radio silence since then, has anyone gotten an II after two months of waiting? Worried it's an R 🙁
I had my PI about 6 weeks before my II. It doesn't indicate good things to be waiting for a longer amount of time, but definitely isn't a death sentence. Wmed reviews holistically, so you're not out of the running. My stats are definitely below a few of their published medians and I'm not IS, but I still got my first and only (so far) II from them last week. Don't give up hope!

Experience review complete 9/13... silence since. Should I assume this is a rejection? 🙁
People have been rejected pre-PI so no, not yet.
Approximately 50%.
did anyone get completely ghosted after the phone interview, granted i did terribly but just wondering

Has anyone actually been rejected by Western? I was done in 8/14 and heard nothing. Not sure if hey do silent R or do they send Rs
They send post-experience review rejections. See page 7 of this thread.
Any virtual IIs today? Or just phone II?
Who's excited for Western Wednesday today? I personally will be refreshing my email copious times throughout the day.

Hoping to get that II. Phone II was beginning of October.

Dang, everyone's waiting for a II and I'm still waiting to get a PI 😳 my experience review wasn't complete until 10/16 though, so I probably still have some time to wait based on what I've seen in this thread so far.

My experiences review was done 8/14... nothing here either
Early September, still waiting
If anyone wants a possible time for IIs to come out today, exactly 2 weeks ago Wmed sent me my first II at noon. However, I got my phone interview invite in early September around like 4pm so they don't really stick to a certain time. Also,
If it's any consolation, I did my PI on 9/21, and expected to hear about an interview (if I got one) by 10/13 since I read that Wmed likes to release decisions on things around the 3-week mark. That Wednesday, barely any interviews went out, and my inbox was empty. Two weeks later, when I had kind of let go of some hope for an II, it showed up around noon. So take that as you will, but it seems like Wmed might release big batches of IIs each month. Definitely not an exact science, just something I've observed over the past few months of neuroticism.
For those of you who have interviewed, I have a question about the timing. My invite says that check-in begins at 12:15 ET and the interview begins at 1pm ET. Do we need to be there (on zoom) at 12:15 and sit there for 45 minutes prior to the interview? Thanks! I'm just trying to figure out what time slots I need to schedule to book an interview room at my school

Definitely don’t have to sit on the call for 45 minutes. I think I logged on at 12:50 or so and was checked in within 2 minutes.
Hey, that's good news! Not everyone even gets to the experience review portion, which means you're a step closer to a PI and then an II! Wmed has already handed out some pre-II Rs, so you're still in the game
"Group activity" means an actual group activity. 😉

That sounds like fun... Doing a "group activity" over zoom with a ravenous pack of premeds

Anyone stumble over their words 10 times during their PI (or just had an overall bad PI) but still get a virtual II later?
