Can someone who has been accepted this cycle and is part of the Facebook group/Groupme for the upcoming class tell how many of the total seats have been filled?
Seats are all filled up. Best you could get right now is alternate list or deferred.Can someone who has been accepted this cycle and is part of the Facebook group/Groupme for the upcoming class tell how many of the total seats have been filled?

Waiting on my interview decision and this is quite dishearteningSeats are all filled up. Best you could get right now is alternate list or deferred.
Oh man...I am still waiting for the interview decision and was hoping for an acceptance. Still keeping my fingers crossed.Seats are all filled up. Best you could get right now is alternate list or deferred.
Me too. It was the best interview I’ve had and it’s not even close. Have acceptances elsewhere but I am really hoping to stay close to home. Hope there’s a spot for both of us!Oh man...I am still waiting for the interview decision and was hoping for an acceptance. Still keeping my fingers crossed.
same here!Oh man...I am still waiting for the interview decision and was hoping for an acceptance. Still keeping my fingers crossed.
the school has said a few times now their class is fullI mean how is there a way to know it’s full from the FB Group? People could have withdrawn their acceptance and still be in it
Extremely disheartening.the school has said a few times now their class is full
Yes. Up until orientation (July 31st)Can we expect some waitlist movement in the next month or so?
Is there an accepted student GroupMe?
Extremely disheartening.
Tons of other posts in here about there is still a TON of movement to be expected between now and August. Don't get disheartened yet unless you've gotten the straight up R! Carey like 99% of other medical schools interview far and above seat capacity because as others currently accepted release there acceptance when they find out they got into their top choice school, they have a solid alternate and deferred list to pull from. Someone in my class got accepted literally the week before matriculation last year so just now its not over until you get an R!Can we expect some waitlist movement in the next month or so?
Issue is the DO school I’m accepted to starts about 2 weeks earlier than most lol. Going to stress me out if I’m on that waitlist. Already waitlisted at my other top choice :/Tons of other posts in here about there is still a TON of movement to be expected between now and August.

Thats awesome! Do you know if it’s 100% match or overall placement rate (match + SOAP)?100% match rate for the 2023 class!!!!! I even counted 3 Orthos and a lot of impressive placements! I'm quite excited about the numbers WCUCOM is putting up. Can't wait to start myself!!
Congrats to the class of 2023!!!
@Ellesandra319 do you know? because I cannot find this info.Thats awesome! Do you know if it’s 100% match or overall placement rate (match + SOAP)?

@FutureDoctor5000@Ellesandra319 do you know? because I cannot find this info.
i don’t know if anyone soaped, but i do know if they successfully soaped, the school would consider that a match (because those folks did match)! ie. if someone had attempted to soap and was unsuccessful, the match rate wouldn’t be 100%.@Ellesandra319 do you know? because I cannot find this info.
What is the difference between General surgery and general surgery preliminary?also @FutureDoctor5000 typed this up in the main match thread and just thought i’d copy and paste it here for ease of access!!

Preliminary is only year 1 (transitional). Some specialties like Rads, Anesthesiology, Derm, and Surgery require a 1 year internship called either preliminary or transitional year before going onto the categorical (real or true) residency.What is the difference between General surgery and general surgery preliminary?
So are general surgery and general surgery preliminary match basically the same if they both require a preliminary year? I appreciate your response, just not sure the difference.Preliminary is only year 1 (transitional).

Just General surgery means the applicant
got a 1 prelim year + 4years gen surgery residency. Hope that makes sense.
Correct. The only difference is that applicants who just get general surgery preliminary have to re-apply in the match to get the categorical (4 year residency) because after their 1st year, that’s it.So are general surgery and general surgery preliminary match basically the same if they both require a preliminary year? I appreciate your response, just not sure the difference.
Sorry if this question has been asked before. Does anyone know if any of the rotations are residency-based rotations? Or do we have to find them on our own?
I will share what I’ve done, it could be diff than others. I got an email about account set up, nothing else. I called Financial aid myself, they said that we should wait till like May or June. I have created a FAFSA account, but says all the government aids are locked right now!For the current accepted students: Did WCUCOM send out any emails about setting up an WCUCOM account or any emails about filing for financial aid? On the group me, someone mentioned they did, but I got no communication from them thus far. Idk if I am missing something. I already went ahead and did my FAFSA just in case. Don't know if I should be doing anything else.
Thats weird. I was able to file my 2023 to 2024 fafsa form. Ill call WCUCOM financial aid office tomorrow to check. ThanksI will share what I’ve done, it could be diff than others.

Thank you for letting me know, my info was for about a month ago. I just completed mine too.Thats weird. I was able to file my 2023 to 2024 fafsa form. Ill call WCUCOM financial aid office tomorrow to check. Thanks
there is a health clinic for students to use but not student run! there are volunteer opportunities throughout the community that pop up throughout the year.Anyone know if wcucom has a student run clinic to volunteer at or something of the sort?
you'll get a ton of info about all this closer to May / June. Complete any account set up stuff if you get it now, but otherwise just wait until they reach out to you! They'll let you know when you need to get stuff done!For the current accepted students: Did WCUCOM send out any emails about setting up an WCUCOM account or any emails about filing for financial aid?

They normally meet every Wednesday then decisions are emailed on Thursday.Anyone know when the admissions committee is meeting again? Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since my interview 😫
When was your interview?Accepted Yesterday to WCUCOM!
And congrats!!Accepted Yesterday to WCUCOM!
All lectures are recorded and available for re-watching on canvas. All of the labs are mandatory. Very few lectures (1-2/week) are mandatory. Anatomy has flipped classroom sessions that have live quiz questions but those can be done either in person or at home.does anyone know if most lectures are available online, or are classes mandatory to attend in person?
I interviewed March 6th and was placed on the alternate list shortly after. I then received the acceptance email yesterday around noon.When was your interview?
