2-2.5 hours tops, depending on how long your meeting with Dr. Weir goes and if you meet with financial aid or anyone else!

did anyone on the waitlist hear back after Wednesday? I got waitlisted that day so I'm curious if our positions have changed since then.

Hey! If an OMS 2 or past student could answer these questions I'd appreciate it! I know medical school is tough, but I was wondering how the quality of the program is. Do they prepare students for board exams well? (Like are current exams formatted similar to boards or board like questions)? Is there good quality teaching? Also, would I be limited if I wanted to match into non primary care residencies? And what's the quality of life like at the program? As students do you feel you're more stress than your peers at other DO schools/more on your own ?

Any insight would be super helpful!

The class FB group has 178 members right now (some of them current student moderators). I think there’s 200 seats this year. So while I’m sure not every admitted student is on the Facebook group but there’s probably a few seats left

Hey I was accepted just today and am having a hard time finding this facebook page! Can you send a link? Is there a group me or anything?
 
I got accepted today after being put on the waitlist April 26th. I was honestly hoping to get accepted later so I have more time to think about this. But thankful, I guess
 
yeah I've been on the waitlist for a week and a half but I wanted to see if anyone has been accepted off of the waitlist since last Wednesday

The waitlist acceptances seem to come out every Tuesday afternoon. At least, that seems to be the pattern here. I wouldn't worry about it until tomorrow tbh

Declined my acceptance here. Hope it goes to one of you!
 
Hey everyone that just got accepted and need to pay the deposit ! If you are going to wire the money you can try online but apparently it only works if you go to the bank where the banker does it. I’ve had trouble doing it online with WF bank and have noticed other people have had trouble too. So, if it doesn’t work online then please just go into your bank !! Congrats once again 🙌
 
Just withdrew my acceptance after getting off a waitlist in state. Good luck!

Any current students, I was just wondering about the equipment list. I assume that we likely aren't going to use every single thing on the list and it would be easier to get the bare essentials. I actually just got gifted a Littmann Classic III stethoscope and a Taylor reflex hammer by my grandma. Does WCU prefer that I have the Littmann Cardiology IV stethoscope and Queen Square reflex hammer instead or am I solid with the gifted equipment?

i am planning on withdrawing my spot as well, do you know if there is anything else we need to do besides emailing the admissions office that we want to withdraw our seat?

I will be withdrawing as well as I got accepted to an in-state school. I hope everyone on the WL gets in and slowly but surely this will happen!

The only thing you really need is a stethoscope. Whatever you want is fine, I use a cardiology III and it got me through my first 2 years :)

I'm a rising 3rd year. The people that do well on boards at any school are the ones that commit to start learning the material they need for boards as soon as they start medical school. They teach you medicine, it's your job to ensure you're taking what you need to for board prep, using your resources, and doing questions along the way. Second-year exams are 100% board style, first year they aren't quite because you don't have the knowledge yet. Someone posted the past match list on the thread so I will direct you to that. Quality of life in medical school is whatever you want it to be, you need to decide what your priorities are and make them work.

there’s a bunch of info buried way back in the thread but it’s def probs buried by now 😂 basically be prepared for why medicine, why DO, why Carey, 3 strengths and weaknesses, and an ethical scenario or 2… the interview feedback for Carey pretty much has word for word the ethical scenarios and the questions. just prepare what’s there! mine was 2-1; 2 interviewers with just me. mine was pretty question and answer, but others said there’s were more conversational, so don’t be afraid/disappointed if it’s one way or another!

oh also, don’t know how many people they’re still interviewing but in mine back in September/October, there were 5 of us scheduled in back to back 30 minute time slots on my interview day, so don’t be worried if it ends kind of abruptly at the half hour mark!

if you read through years past threads, it’s pretty standard for Carey. conversely with other schools, they send extremely limited secondaries and fill in on the back end of the application cycle.
 
Just withdrew my acceptance I hope it goes to one of you guys!
