lol would you mind sharing what you can as to why is was "wild"?
I just thought the questions were unorthodox. It shares no similarity with other SJTs, and its definitely unique to WMed.

To put it in perspective, even after this experience, I’m not sure what’s the best way to prepare for it.

Is it too late to add this school? not sure what the vibe is but seems like a lot of interview activity already (which is awesome for everyone that got one!!)
 
still not in experience review, submitted & completed 7/4/24 🙁
Did you at least get the application update email? It goes like this:

I hope this email finds you well! Our goal throughout this admissions cycle is to be as transparent as possible, to keep you up-to-date of your status, where we are in the admissions process, and to do those things monthly. With that being said, your application is currently in queue to be reviewed by our experience reviewers. I can assure you that we are working as quickly as possible to get to your application! Once your application is reviewed by an experience reviewer your application will go under review for a phone interview. We will invite applicants for a phone interview on a rolling basis until the end of January. Our virtual interviews begin Friday, October 4th and will conclude Friday, March 14th. We are still very early in the cycle (it’s a marathon not a sprint at this point).

I trust this information is helpful and I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Okay, well, at least you're in their system. I honestly think it's random or based on some unknown scores and stats. At least they are one of the more transparent schools. Just hold tight! I know it's hard to do, but you got this!!
its probably based off of stats since i am lower in terms of LM (i think i have a 64 or 65 i cant remember)!! but thats why i submitted so early haha, i have good ECs + high hours and vetted writing so i think its coming down to stats tbh, thank you!! <3333

Nah, cause I have an LM of 66 and am in the experience review stage! So I feel like there's more to it than that! I mean maybe?
 
“Under consideration for a phone interview” received 8/18. Experience review 8/12, Secondary submitted 8/6. OOS

Anyone know the odds this actually leads to a phone interview?

I am not sure any of us here can definitively answer that question. You seem to be flying through the steps quickly though. At lot of folks here haven’t even made it to experience review.

However, FWIW I hear it’s 100% odds of getting a phone interview after getting a phone interview invite email

lmfao. Yeah idk if my app reader is taking forever lol, submitted 7/31 haven’t even hit experience review.
 
Been here for almost 3 weeks, was in limbo for almost a month before that
Yeah I don't think it's standardized, it must be reviewer dependent. I was in experience review for 4 days before proceeding to consideration for phone interview.

Edit: at least not standardized with respect to the timeline.
