2023-2024 University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine (UIWSOM)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
submitted my secondary on 8/4 and still havent heard about an interview :/
My sympathies. My secondary was submitted in late June. Silence too thus far.

I hope / think we still have a chance though since UIWSOM does screen apps. They don’t give everybody one.

Congrats Future Doc! 🎉 By any chance did your portal update or just call/email?
Thank you!! and they called me and let me know that an email should come soon🙂
 
Nope I was WL for an interview in early August though (Pre-II WL).
 
Did anyone from 9/18 interview hear back yet? The nerves are setting in!!
 
Same... freaking out even more because some people have already heard back..... 🥲
Same lol. I'm holding onto hope that they're doing it over multiple days until Friday. It would make more sense to call people in groups anyway. Best of luck to you, buddy!

Yes that makes sense! Good luck all around!
 
Hi, was anyone who just got the II able to schedule their interview? I only see one date available & it’s for in-person.

Go in-person if you can. It will help you the most to choose later if you get more than one acceptance, and it helps them know you better.

I totally would but I already have another Interview scheduled that day that I can’t change ://

I waited a few days when I got mine and other days popped up eventually as the others filled.
 
I know this might be a dumb question to ask, but has UIWSOM started to pre-II R people yet…or is it still in hold or II mode these days?

I definitely would like a II, but I obviously missed the wave that happened yesterday.

No such thing as a dumb question! I don’t know if anyone could confidently say what their process is like, but my attitude is no news is good(ish) news. If I haven’t heard anything yet, I take that as they’re still considering! Don’t give up hope yet, still a lot of cycle left.
 
Past history is a good indicator if they had been consistent in following a process including pre II Rs. So one has to go back previous years' threads to see if it happened.

TMDSAS schools usually dont reject until the end although some newer schools have gone through Pre II Rs (university of Houston for a year at least). This school does not fall under TMDSAS.

Seems like it hasn’t really happened, at least according to past threads.
 
Interviewed 9/18...still waiting! Anyone else? Worried because it's been over three weeks, calling the office tomorrow.
 
What dates between 09/15 and 10/02 have yet to receive an update after interviewing? Trying to gauge when I might hear back.

Interviewed 9/15. Not accepted. 4.0 GPA, 501 MCAT
 
did anyone get an II and isn't able to schedule a virtual session? the only date that is available is 12/8 for in person but i can't make it ): I'm not sure why their email says they have multiple sessions available when they don't :/

they open up more dates as earliest dates fill.
Send a polite email saying you aren't able to attend an in-person interview on 12/8 , but could they schedule you for a virtual interview?
Be sure you have your calendar at your side to tell them what date ranges would be possible for you.

I believe all the virtual interviews are full until January. Are you seeing those pop up on your end?
 
no 🙁 which is why i'm a bit confused, the only available session i see is 12/8 for in-person
They do prefer you to interview in person and said there would be a limited number of virtual interviews, I believe.
So, @legallyblondemed it is up to you to wait for an answer to your inquiry to UIWSOM. If you want to interview with them, you can find a time and place.

As an aside, could doing an in-person interview help get an A? Granted, I don’t even have a II yet, but I’m trying to figure out a way to avoid a post-II R - something that seems kinda common with the school.
