This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just received my acceptance from Carey today! Here are some of my stats:

I had a 502 MCAT with pretty evenly distributed score distributions in the 4 categories.
I am a Mississippi Resident with ties to the Hattiesburg community and rural Mississippi.
My community service was a little on the low end, but my research was on the high end with two peer-reviewed publications.
GPA was 3.95 science and 3.98 overall.
I did not complete CASPER.

My Timeline:
Sent Primary December 16th.
Received Secondary January 3rd.
Sent in Secondary January 12th
Secondary Marked Complete January 13th.
Interview Request January 19th.
Scheduled Interview February 3rd.
Accepted February 9th.

If anyone wants to practice interviewing, please reach out to me! I prepped a ton for my interview and the constructive criticism I received from friends was highly beneficial.

I was curious how long after accepting the II was the follow up email received with the zoom link?

Can any current students share a little bit of information about clinical rotations?

How often do students switch sites? Like do students spend several months or years at each site or are they moving every month?
Does WCUCOM provide or help students find housing, esp in more rural areas?
Overall, how do students like the preceptors?

I am also looking for some answers to these questions! I also wanted to add:
1) Do we need a car?
2) Are hub sites only in rural areas?
3) What is the residency match list?
4) Is grading P/F?
 
this is really random but for those of you that have visited post-acceptance, what did you wear? 😂 like business casual? full suit? blazer + slacks? i'm visiting next month and don't want to look dumb LOL i'm gonna default to pant suit but i thought i would ask first.
 
Hey all! I was accepted to WCUCOM a few weeks ago. So excited to attend! I am just wondering what the tuition is for the following year? One of the letters I received said that the yearly cost is $58000 but is that the total cost or the tuition?
 
Is lecture attendance mandatory here? and how are the research / volunteer opportunities?

  1. I was told when I went on campus that lecture attendance is initially mandatory for either the first trimester or first-year [was not clarified]
  2. I asked specifically about research during my interview and they said that 1 Case Report was mandatory research for all students, but otherwise, students are told that they can decide to pursue more extensive research if they so desire. [I do so desire due to my family's health condition but to each their own.] Here is a quote directly from the website about research
    1. Students in the OMS3 year are required to write a case report on one of their patients as part of their curricular requirements in the Introduction to Clinical Scholarship course (OMS 7384). A well-written case report may result in a presentation at a professional conference or occasionally even a publication in a scholarly journal for the student. Students in the clinical years are also encouraged to work with their clinical preceptors on research projects of interest to the preceptor. This could involve anything from a secondary analysis of existing data to participation in clinical trials. Both OMS3 and OMS4 students also have access to research rotation electives which are required by some specialized residencies, but all students are encouraged to consider a research rotation regardless of their desired residency specialty.
 
I interviewed on 2/21 and got rejected today 2/23, not even waitlisted. Maybe I did not do well on my interview. Congrats to those who got accepted!

I would really try to get at least a 500. I think it was in last years forum that said the average was around a 505. I got accepted with a 501. Its worth a shot but with your mcat that low your gonna have to make that up with the other parts of your application.
 
Hi, I have my interview coming up. Just wanted to confirm that it’s only 30 mins and no full interview day or presentations?

Yea it’s just a 30 minute interview. You’ll be sent a link tonight or tomorrow morning. If you’re first that day then there willl likely be no wait but for me I waited like 7 minutes before they joined the meeting link they sent me

LOL, I thought that maybe I clicked the wrong link because I got 3 emails with zoom links from WCUCOM in the 12 hours prior to my interview. SO I kept checking the different links before realizing they were probably just with the other applicant

I interviewed yesterday and just got a rejection email today! I thought I did well on the interview, feeling really bummed out as this was my only interview invite of the cycle 🙁

I was in this boat last year! Call and ask for feedback. Keep your head up - figure out what you need to do to improve your app and you’ll get there!
 
Submitted secondary at the end of February, invited for interview on March 8th, got acceptance letter on March 9th, and currently planning on visiting the campus and the town! The efficiency of the school is truly unimaginable.
