I have not gotten a secondary yet. Submitted 7/2
 
I wonder if they are screening heavily before sending secondaries. I have not received one yet either.
 
+1 OOS (bordering state) secondary; submitted primary 7/19; got secondary 7/21

Ok so I guess they're screening heavily then
 
Make sure you sign up for CASPER. Also, I got this info off Google: For the College of Osteopathic Medicine (WCUCOM), a minimum MCAT score of 504 and science section scores of 126 or higher are required, in addition to a 3.5 GPA overall and 3.4 science GPA.

This is wrong. This is from the guaranteed interview program in affiliation with another university.

ohhhh ok, thank you for clarifying
 
Has anyone received an email confirmation after submitting their primary? I submitted mine a little over 2 weeks ago but haven’t received any confirmation yet
 
I submitted my primary to this school on July 25th, but I haven't even received any confirmation on them getting primary...is this normal? Debating if I should reach out to the school about this & I'm a bit worried I haven't heard anything yet

This happened to me too. I was in touch with one of their admissions counselors before the cycle started and she had sent me a bunch of information on the school. I just responded to that email and asked if I could get a status update on my application or if there was any additional information they needed from me. The next day I got a secondary application. The staff is very nice so I would just try to give them a call and follow up.

Thanks for sharing! Are their admissions counselors open to meetings with applicants to answer questions etc? I didn't find any resource like that on their site

I didn’t specifically schedule a meeting with them. I just called because I had a question about Casper, but the admissions counselor was more than happy to answer my questions and tell me a little bit about WCUCOM.

I don’t know the rate but it seems they are quite selective. The turnaround between me completing secondary to II was 4 days (submitted on a Thursday, got the II on Monday) so very quick. I believe receiving a secondary indicates they want to interview you, but if I’m wrong someone let me know.
 
I had to get a previous prof (I’m nontrad) to write a LOR, and luckily they did it in 2 days. Now I’m fully complete.
