Is it worth submitting secondaries at this point? They sent them to me on July 3, but I never did them.

+1 OOS II waitlist, is this a soft R?

No, almost everyone gets this message at first. Some will go on to an interview later, after WVU sees more of the pool of applicants to compare and decide.

For anyone else who recieved an II, are there sign up times very late? the earliest option it gives me is January

+1 international II waitlist...is it common to get off the waitlist and actually get a slot?

 

[uniqueee]

OOS II waitlist. Surprised to hear back in 3 weeks.

Medical schools interview so few applicants as it is. I would believe it’s not really common to get off of the waitlist.

On the contrary, this school sends almost everyone a "you're on a WL for an interview" email, then selects interviewees later.
Most schools would just send you an acknowledgment of receipt of your application and keep you waiting silently.
All I can say is, it's not a rejection, and all interviewees probably got this WL email first.

Oh ok, thanks for the insight!

Wait are you sure? I never got a WL II email. I just got an II straight.

That is very reassuring to hear!! Do you know if most applicants that received this "you're on a WL for an interview" tend to eventually get interviewed? Additionally, any thoughts on how helpful an update letter might be? I do have some significant updates, but I'm not sure how much that would sway them to actually interview me when slots open up, as I'm a Canadian applicant & they seem to heavily prefer IS

Are you an in state applicant?

 

[VARES]

Are you an in state applicant?

oos neighboring state with some ties to WV. No waitlist, just straight ii

 

[deleted1196277]

Are you an in state applicant?

I got a straight II also as an OOS applicant with no ties. I would say strong mission fit though. Not like I'm drowning in interviews otherwise lol

 

[biggerb832]

Are you an in state applicant?

OOS, weak ties to WV, im not from a bordering state though

If you have significant updates, I would personally recommend you send them. I don't believe they heavily favor IS since you saw how many OOS IIs were sent, I think your main thing is that your an international student, so I would send them an update letter just to see if it bolsters your chances. Good luck!

Thank you, will do!!

OOS II WL. Submitted 8/23. No ties to the state or area (from west coast).

 

[med400]

Has anybody who got an II WL get off the WL yet?

 

[med400]

Does anybody know how helpful it may be to attend the open house? i'd be travelling from quite far, and i'm wondering if it would help at all (i'm on the waitlist for an interview)
