Yes, it appears like they've concluded their admissions process. I'm sure we'll get an update this week since it will be one month since their previous "monthly update" email on Wednesday. I was hoping for an interview as well. Still, we should all keep in mind that reapplying this cycle and making an effort to improve our applications could very possibly result in us beginning our M1 year at the same time as we would be with an MBS acceptance. Personally, I have already retaken the MCAT and found other ways to strengthen my application. The only advice I have is to begin the process of reapplying as early as possible. Best of luck to you all.

Congratulations to those who received an acceptance!! I am very familiar with the Kalamazoo area and have friends in their third year at WMed. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me. I can answer or put you in contact with someone who can.

Why do you guys think the admissions process is over?
 
Congratulations to those who got accepted!!!!! They placed me on the waitlist on Friday. They said the waitlist isn't ranked and I could hear back anytime from now to July. The fact that there's even a waitlist kind of makes me think they're not totally done yet. I'm rooting for everyone!

100% great post. I think it’s a great point in terms of looking into next year. I am a LM of 80 and working the same job as last year so not sure what I’ll be updating except rewriting everything.
 
If anyone is currently accepted and would like to connect with a few of the other accepted students, please dm me. I am working on creating a Discord server that will be used throughout our time in the program. So far, have only been able to connect with two others. Good luck to all, waiting to hear back, or currently on the waiting list 🙂

I was on the waitlist last year. I reapplied this year but haven't heard back. I won't be reapplying again, but good luck to everyone. It's a great program from what I've heard 🙂

Thank you for sharing! May I ask when they let you know their final decision last year?

Wow, I guess no interview for me as well then. Do you have a preference to apply to MD or did you also apply DO?

They didn't follow up. They said it could take any time from the day they sent their decision to the first day of classes. It sucked that it had to drag so long but eventually I moved on.

I had a 3.6 cgpa 3.5 sgpa. I think its bc I was hyperrrrrrr specific on my diversity. no line I wrote could be said by someone else.

thanks for sharing. Can you give an example of a line you wrote? (paraphrasing) curious what that would be like.

I'm not really comfy sharing a line from my app but what I'll say is that when you're writing, especially a diversity statement, always ask yourself if someone else can write what you wrote down. If they can, do a deeper introspection. You'll realize you're more special than you think
 
for anyone who is on the waitlist like me for the program, do you think it's a good idea to send a letter of intent? I honestly don't hear a lot about sending letters to master programs linked to med schools so i'm not completely sure. i interviewed 5/7.
