For those of you who have interviewed for the fmSTAT program, do you have any tips on how best to prepare other than typical questions like why you are interested in family medicine?
 
Hold again as well, interviewed in late-Aug 🙁

Same boat. Interviewed in September
Same here, Interviewed in Aug.

Yeah, that just means they're pushing us back to the last decision date, where we'll either get an A, WL, or R. They only do A or R (I think) in the first 3 decision dates

also, Hold again
Looks like they sent post II R on Feb 3rd, reflected here and admit.org
 
Does anyone know if VCU accepts LOI? This is on their med admit website (not sure if it pertains to LOI):
  • May I submit additional materials and/or updates to my application while it is being considered?
    • ONLY at the request of the Admissions Committee. Otherwise, please DO NOT submit additional materials or updates. We believe that the AMCAS application you initially submitted is representative of your academic abilities and activities. Unsolicited materials will be discarded.
What do you guys think?

They have previously done it where your post-interview rank is permanent. So the LOI had no impact.

Hi everyone (again haha)!

Congrats to those who have been accepted and don't be discouraged for those who have not been accepted yet!

I am an M1 at VCU SoM and I am one of the class of 2029's officers. If you have been accepted and intend on attending, we have created an "un"official Facebook page and the official VCU Class of 2030 GroupMe. Again, if you have been accepted and are intending on attending, please email a screenshot of the acceptance letter (or forward it directly) to this email: [email protected].

You will need to be verified before you will be admitted to the group pages since students don't have access to those admitted! Also, be patient with acceptances to these groups as we do have busy schedules!

Links for the private groups:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EtBpPJDRJ/
GroupMe: GroupMe - Join the group for Class of 2030

Thank you!
Grace, M1
 
I have been complete since July post secondary and haven't heard anything from the school since. Does anyone know if they send out post secondary rejections or do they send out a mass rejection in March?

Does anyone know if VCU's internal ranking is shared to residency programs?
