Just did the informal Student Ambassador Social tonight--if you're on the fence about doing it, I highly recommend going! The students are extremely nice and will answer all your questions.

Quick question, what was the attire for this event?

 

[yonce88]

IS II received on Aug 22nd! It is for late September. So excited!! I hope they like me lol 😍 was completed 7/13.

congrats! do you mind sharing your stats? mcat/gpa?

I would say business casual. You don't have to wear a suit & tie but maybe just a nice shirt! No one that is involved in the social is part of the admissions process

congrats! do you mind sharing your stats? mcat/gpa?

Thank you! and sure! MCAT 510, cGPA 3.6, sGPA 3.5. Non-trad.

Does anyone from the first interview cohort know when decisions come out again?

I just remember them saying that this Tuesday and Thursday they would be doing their final app review. I don't think they specified beyond that.

The interview today was actually super chill. They pretty much just take notes on your answers but honestly, this worked for me. Do the optional comp & convo if you can - it calms the nerves.. those who ran it did a banger job of making you feel special before your big day.

 

[LambyBoPeep]

Also for anyone who interviewed today ... did you have to show your ID? I never got asked.

 

[Dr. Ruby 2023]

I never got asked to show my ID. I thought I did well but they never questioned me on my answers. they just wrote down what i said and moved on. Did you have the same experience?

is it worth to send in a secondary this late in the game?

It cant hurt. I'm still sending in secondaries to a few schools lol. Might as well!

 

[2023applicant2024]

neurotic check in here

has anyone from the first interview cohort heard anything? I'm checking my "application status" page, but I don't feel like there's an actual place where it says your status. I've heard that Western will update this page and potentially email you before calling you (if you're accepted). It's been two weeks which is the timeline they gave us so just wondering!

Also I'm attaching the picture of the page (w/info redacted) if anyone can point me in the right direction lmao. The only thing under recent activities was my payment for my secondary

No news on my end either. If I had to guess, the two week mark might be this friday since that would be two weeks from the MMI. They may also be reviewing last weeks interviews before they release decisions to everyone, but that is just my assumption.

I’m praying too since submitting my app in June. I’m still apparently being reviewed.

Already got the boot from Oregon though.

Also submitted early, like first week of July and no word from either yet. Although I didn't complete my Casper till mid-august lol so that set me back a bit. Hoping we both get ii's!

Definitely.

I completed Casper in the recent past and made the top percentile for it. That being said, I think the exam means jack in the face of grades and MCAT scores.

Did anyone get a second "Application Still with Admissions Committee" type of email? I got one 8/25 and 9/24

I got it twice too, around the same time you got it. Getting the feeling it's a soft R, but who knows.

[postmix]

[VisenyaTargaryen]

hey guys, congrats to all those who have been accepted or have upcoming interviews!!!
I submitted my secondaries in late September. 69 LizzyM, with a bunch of DO shadowing and other clinical experiences. Do you guys think I am screwed and won't even be considered for an interview? 😢

"late September" was only a week ago, so read through this thread to see how others are doing and to know what to expect if you get an interview. Good luck!
