I thought it was stats based and/or regional fit? Mainly because I got the secondary the day my app got verified. I am OOS but in the northeast and at their LM as well but not sure if any current students know?
Not regional fit. EVMS accepts students from all over the map. I personally know students there from Texas, Utah, California, Illinois, etc. It's mostly gpa/MCAT screen, but they also screen for clinical & community service hours.

Add [email protected] to your contact list/address book if you're waiting on an II. My II went to junk mail and they only give you 3 business days to respond. Got an e-mail saying my app was withdrawn from the pool due to no response.
I hope they are able to resolve this for you. Thank you for the heads up
When did you add it to AMCAS? I added it maybe a week ago but not sure how long they take to screen & give a secondary

Forum from last year had someone receive an acceptance on a Sunday (albeit it was October 30th, I didn't see an earlier acceptance post unless I'm blind).
I added it to amcas sep 6 and got secondary request sep 12

I haven't done it before, but how long should we wait it out before possibly asking them? Not sure if we should be asking them to begin with
What does it mean if we haven’t heard about A but early sep II

in all honesty, nothing. since no one else has reported A's for EVMS, I would assume they are not done making decisions on acceptances yet.

anyone know if they accept application update letters?
According to one of my interviewers, yes. Especially if you have any significant updates.
You have nothing to lose by asking

Can we submit updates through the secondary app or is it through email?
Email the admissions office. ([email protected]) The EVMS secondary is pretty bare-bones, and I don't think there is a place to submit additional materials unless I am missing it.
CONGRATULATIONS! Perfect to hear back on a Friday too!
Small question, but was it via email or phone?

Thanks! I got 2 separate emails, one inviting me to take the next step with my application and another with the actual interview decision.
OOS A yesterday!!! Interview was on Sept 13th.
OOS waitlisted yesterday; interviewed 9/22

No. Remember, this school takes people off the waitlist throughout the cycle, not only in April, May, and June
I also wouldn't jump the gun until you actually hear back from the school. Never know what is going on behind the scenes after an interview.

when did you guys get the link for your interview? They scheduled mine over the phone (since apparently someone dropped out) for this Friday, but I haven't received any emails yet.

Is it okay if I attend the Zoom Conference a week or two after, or is it recommended to attend the one before your actual interview? I have an event this Wednesday, and I really don't want to miss it.. Also, did they say how long after an interview we can expect a decision?
I was worried the same thing, but the interview questions can easily be answered without attending the conference before the session

Do we think they'll release more decisions this Friday? Interviewed 9/27 and still haven't heard back
Hoping the same. Interviewed 10/6.

I sure hope so. iirc they said there would be a 3-4 week turnaround time during the info session. I interviewed on 9/29 and hit the 4 week mark tomorrow 🙄
Sorry if this post is obsessive, but I went ahead and looked at some of past years trends in Acceptances/Waitlist to hopefully inform y'all (and myself) on when to expect to hear back.
Note: EVMS tends to send out A's in one day, then WL soon after. There is heavy WL movement, usually starting in December, especially among top tiers.
2022-2023 Year
2 A's from Sept. interview reported Nov. 1
4 WL from Sept. interview reported Nov. 4 (2/4 eventually received A)
5 WL from Sept. and Oct. interview reported Nov. 16 (no reported A)
8 WL from Oct. and Nov. interview reported Nov. 30 (6/8 eventually received A)
2021-2022 Year
6 A's from Sept. interview reported Oct. 29
5 WL from Sept. interview reported Nov. 1 (1/5 eventually received A)
2 A's from Sept. and Oct. interview reported Nov. 12
6 WL from Sept. and Oct. interview reported Nov. 16

From scouring the prior years threads, they only seem to send out Pre-secondary R's, but nothing for pre-II. However, I wouldn't lose hope yet, as I have seen a handful of II from August applicants reaching into January.
