2024-2025 Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine (RVUCOM-Montana)

[StealthHunter10]

I haven't yet. I interviewed 12/3 and was told that the committee meets on 12/19. I was hopeful to get a decision sooner since I have another school's deposit deadline due this week.

I did mine 11/11 and still haven’t received the decision, fingers crossed here!

Same, still waiting to hear back! Been waiting for a little more than 4 weeks 🥲

 

[StealthHunter10]

Hoping that we all get great news soon 😀

 

[brachial plexus44]

Has anyone got their decisions during this week?

Interview 11/19 still waiting. Should hear by Monday but was hoping for earlier.

Did anyone who has already interviewed get that email reminder for the QA sessions and notice at the end it said “…and look forward to welcoming you to RVU-MCOM!” Am I reading too far into it??

 

[apex31913]

I have a few questions for current students/people who know the answers!
1. I saw the technical requirements on the portal, but do most people use a certain device (i.e. iPad)? I know there are some schools who give free tech.
2. For second year students, how are you feeling about upcoming rotations/clinical years and the locations of the sites?

YES I got this. But I just know I am giving myself hope for no reason

 

[groundhog21]

Withdrew my A here today, but I have nothing except high hopes and excitement for the future of this school. They seem like they're setting themselves up for success. I hope it goes to one of y'all! Good luck!

For the dean/student overview and q&a, should we dress in interview attire? Just wondering because I’ll be coming back from work

I just wore my scrubs and a sweater to this since I was also getting off work when I attended the overview and q/a

 

[santaisreal]

For the dean/student overview and q&a, should we dress in interview attire? Just wondering because I’ll be coming back from work

I'd say most students were in at least business casual and only a couple people (out of around 50 applicants) had their cameras off so if you're keen on not standing out, I'd def at least try to get a change of clothes! I wore something a bit more casual than the other applicants and I was definitely weary about it haha

When I had my Q&A most wore business casual/professional and the dean as he was leaving did say “thank you to everyone who dressed up for the occasion”! So would recommend wearing something professional if you can

Birthday suit it is. Jk I guess polo or a dress shirt won't hurt

I was planning on submitting my deposit and then visiting the campus in February. I really like the program and it is way too far for me to visit twice lol I am 24 hours away from Billings

Hello everyone, Canadian here. Got the interview invite today and had a couple of questions.


1) since i have to commit to a campus through my interview, is there a campus that would be easier to get in than others? My most important priority is getting in somewhere right now, so I want to increase my chances as much as possible. So in my eyes, there's no point in going for the utah campus for example, if that campus is almost full, while the montana one is empty. Appreciate any insight into this matter.


2) I know the interview is 30 minutes, but what's the format? Traditional or MMI? Open or closed file? Faculty or student led?

3) is there a known ratio between people interviewed and accepted? Is it just a red flag check where 90% of people interviewed get in? Or do you actually have to go above and beyond tonget accepted.

Hi there! Congrats on your interview invite! I am not an expert on RVU, but I did have an interview with MT and can try to answer these for you.

1. It is my understanding that the MT campus operates independently and has no connection to the UT and CO campuses for the application process. There is a separate application for the MT campus, whereas the CO and UT campuses share a single application submission. My interview was only for the MT campus, and my application for the other two campuses is still under review.
2. The interview was a traditional open-file format with a faculty member. It was very conversational and low-stress.
3. I do not know the ratio, but I feel like if you get an interview invite at the MT campus and do well, it is a pretty high acceptance rate. I don't necessarily think this is a red flag. If they invite you for an interview, your application caught the committee's eye, and you are a valid candidate for medical school - they just want to ensure that you are a genuine human and fit their mission.

I am not sure about this. When did you interview? Did they email you about the alt list?

 

[cressmah]

I am not sure about this. When did you interview? Did they email you about the alt list?

Interviewed back in November and they emailed me shortly after. I had called and they said it was basically a waitlist. Just didn't know if there's been any movement.
