2024-2025 Western University of Health Sciences (Pomona, California)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If you guys have joined the FB group page (you’ll need your WesternU email) the existing discord link has been posted there
 
As someone on the waitlist (not alternate), what is the likelihood of getting an A at this point? I read somewhere that everyone on the WL got off last year, but I'm not sure if that is something that happens every year.

You definitely still have a chance, last year ppl got off all the way up through late July.
 
Anyone that has been accepted, how do we join the facebook and discord group? I cant find the group tab someone mentioned earlier. Im really trying to find a roommate.

Withdrew my A here on Wednesday. Western is a great school. I hope my seat goes to someone really passionate about the program and inland southern CA
where are you choosing to go if you dont mind? 🙂 another CA DO? would love insight
 
When is the latest that MD applicants can get off the WL? That's probably when we'll see some significant WL movement for Western, because the class probably has a lot of MD WLers.

A majority of the md wl movement has already happened unfortunately
 
Does anyone know how registration works (are we all choosing the same classes or is it like undergrad)

is there a thread with info from current students somewhere?

Pre-Clinical Curriculum for Year 1 and year 2 is mandatory and does not have any electives like undergraduate. You have electives for clinical rotations for year 3 and 4.

Is anybody else here still on the WL? The wait is so agonizing. I'd have to move to another state if I don't hear back soon. I can't even enjoy my last weeks of freedom because I'm anxiously waiting.
Currently on the waitlist as well. Feels like they won’t reach me based on the movement now and the stats of other accepted applicants..
 
Congrats!! Good to see that there is movement. Were you on waitlist or alternate?
Going to be completely honest, I'm unsure. The original waitlist letter said waitlist, then the weekly interest check emails always said alternate list. I know they're two different things, but they kept using them interchangeably for me. I wish I had a better answer for you I'm sorry

You were on waitlist then. People earlier in this thread said to go by what the letter says. Thanks for the reply!
 
Does anyone know if there’s an accepted students group me or Facebook group? If so can you provide a link? Thanks!
 
Congrats to those who have been accepted, and best of luck to those still on the waitlist!

For those who were accepted and are still looking for a housing option, I am looking for someone to take over my lease at The Upland Apartments (just a short drive from WesternU Pomona) in August 4 (date negotiable). I'm an attending physician and have lived here for two years and would have stayed longer — the complex is quiet, well-maintained, and super convenient — but I’m relocating for a new job.

The unit is floor plan A2, located on the 4th floor (top floor). Rent is $2,811/month (on their website, current rent is $2,957+). I’m also offering $1,500 to help cover the future rent difference and application fee.

Please DM me if interested - happy to share photos or more details!
 
Is there only a background check and no drug test? On Precheck, there was only an option for a background check.
