From MSAR:
Typical number of waitlist positions per cycle: 200
Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on the waitlist: 75
Approximate class size: 150
So up to half of the class could come from waitlist hypothetically.
Interesting, I wasn't aware MSAR showed all that info -- thank you for this!

I went to ODU undergrad. When I was coming in, they had a program with them where you commit to them in like your first year and just have to get a 505 and guaranteed matriculation. Unfortunately I didn't know I wanted to go into medicine until it was past the deadline for that program & not sure if that's still going on.

Is lower-tier even real or do they just give everyone mid-tier if not high-tier

Y'all think we're interviewing for the WL at this point?
bro i hope not this school was awesome lol
Even if that were true, apparently the wait list isn't a bad spot to be according to Lithium Carbonate's post up above.

It probably is, but again, not a bad place to be in. I interviewed with EVMS in February 2020 and they told us straight up in the information session that we were interviewing for the waitlist.
I have an interview scheduled on 01/08/2023...any tips?

Do you mean 2/8/23? As far as the interview itself, I found mine to be very relaxed and laid back. They didn't ask me any trick questions or MMI style questions which was nice. Everything was very straight forward and it was really just a conversation about what motivated me to go into medicine and why I loved EVMS. Just relax and be yourself. Remember, they invited you because they already like you based on your application. Just show them that you are who you seem to be on paper and you'll be fine!

I know they said the Wed. meet and greet was optional with no bearing on acceptance, but since I'm neurotic, did anyone not go and still get the A - if they're willing to share?
Did not go. WL then A so I don't think it has any bearing. And from my understanding it's more of an information session to find out more about the school. I plan on going sometime in the future though as I want to learn more about the school before I make a decision.
I went the week after my interview. I got waitlisted, idk if it made a difference tbh
Didn’t go. Got an A.

I didn't go and got the A!
Hi hi sorry for uber late response! There was a separate process where we submit a fin aid application. You send them an email with all of the scholarships you would like to apply for and then they get back to you with any awards!
Just sent an email withdrawing my acceptance. I am channeling good wishes to everyone here ❤️

How did you all hear about this meet and greet? I interviewed back in mid Sept and have been waitlisted since October but never heard about a meet and greet...

bet
there’s an accepted students days you’re invited to after acceptance. but most recently i believe they were talking about the info session hosted on every wednesday of interview weeks for interviewees.
Well I know there’s a Shrek rave happening at the Norva 2/17 so take that as you will
i think comparatively to other MD schools they’re maybe not as heavy on research, but absolutely. they just got a 4mil grant from NIH a couple days ago to continue some cancer research they’re doing
Someone on Reddit reported that they had received an II today

Is it just me or does it seem like EVMS didn't send out a lot of direct As post-II this year?
I interviewed on 1/20 and just received an email that my application is on hold. "The MD Admissions Committee was very pleased with your application and members enjoyed meeting with you during your interview. At this time the MD Admissions Committee has decided to put your application on HOLD. A HOLD status is not a terminal decision nor a waitlist decision. Your application is still active and decisions are sent to applicants frequently via email." Anyone else receive this email? I haven't heard of people getting holds at this school... not sure what to make of this
interesting- have not heard that
