Congrats on the interview! I applied to WesternU (secondary verified 10/18) but have yet to hear from them. If you don’t mind me asking, how long did it take for them to contact you post-verification? :)

When did you apply/hear back from WesternU? I applied there too in late September and haven’t heard back.

I’m also applying to touro and franklin pierce but I’m not done with their essays. I’ve written 8 so far but still have 4 more left before I’m all done with ptcas.

Hi, I had my secondary verified 8/16. They got back to me on 10/22. So it took them 10 weeks to get back to me.
 
should be sending updates in November. Is this your top choice?
No, but I have yet to receive any communication from them. So I was just worried. I know other schools have sent me emails at least notifying me that they have received my CAS application. I just found it strange to not hear anything from them.

Hi, I applied to WesternU on 8/16. However they opened my other materials around the 8/24. They just got back to me with an invite for an interview on 10/22.

Hi! I initially submitted my secondary app on 10/7 and just received an email stating that my app has been processed and sent to the admissions committee for review. How long after receiving that email did you get an interview invite? Did it take two months (from 8/16-10/22) for you to hear back after receiving this?!

Haven’t heard from Loma Linda either. It’s my first choice so if I get accepted I’m most likely declining my seat @ Chapman. That should open up a spot for someone.

A friend of mine heard back from LLU, they're giving out emails to those who should expect their decisions in January. Still haven't received an email myself though.
