Hello, I have been accepted to EVMS and I was wondering if anyone had additional information about the class schedule. Specifically, I know that there are sessions with mandatory in-person attendance approximately once a week, does anyone have more information about the length and timing of these sessions? Also, what are those sessions about and are we assigned a specific time that is the same each week or do they assign it for us?
 
Also withdrew my mid-tier IS WL position on 6/21.
II on 2/14, interviewed 2/28, WL 4/17
 
Withdrew from the waitlist. Grateful to have received an A elsewhere, but can’t help but feel a bit bitter about EVMS’s admission process. I was waitlisted two years in a row. I think they need to stop waitlisting everyone who interviews here, drop the nonexistent low tier waitlist, and give out post II Rs to those who have no chance of getting in off the waitlist. These changes would save future applicants from anxiously waiting for 9 months to see if they will receive an A.

This school's wait list process is a disgrace. They set up 3 tiers but they are meaningless. There wait list in my opinion is strictly based on filling slots in order to satisfy pre-determined silos related to gender, nationality, sexual orientation and race. Many students listed in the first tier based on the overall student assessment never get an offer while they watch second tier students accepted left and right. There whole process is an abomination that treats their applicants like crap. My daughter withdrew from the first tier of their waiting list after receiving two other acceptances and watching a multiple number of second tier waiting list applicants be accepted. A completely intellectually dishonest admission process.

So you have two sons AND a daughter all in med school now? 😀
