A little late to this as I just created my account today. I am set to interview on the 27th. I received the call on the 24th of August and was complete on the 9th of August. cGPA 3.92, sGPA 4.0. MCAT was poor. I'm OOS.

I'm interviewing on the 27th as well. Good luck!
 
Still haven't heard anything and submitted back in late July.....not to mention they don't respond to emails which is really off putting, but whatever. Likely lots of apps.

I haven't heard anything since submitting my secondary. Has anyone had any luck emailing admissions and getting a response? I'm not sure if that's something I should try.
 
Accepted! So happy right now. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Interview day was great. Beautiful campus, Happy students, Supportive faculty. What more could I ask for?

Does anyone who has already interviewed here want to share how the interview day was? I'm interviewing later this month. 🙂

Most likely an acceptance call. The admissions director told me on my interview day that it is very unlikely they reject anyone interviewing this early in the cycle unless the interview went catastrophically bad. Make sure to call first thing on Monday but I'm willing to bet she was calling to let you know you are accepted.

Yes, I believe the only reason they would call is for an acceptance. Kind of scary to not be around the phone that you have listed around this timeframe don't you think? 🙂

Just received an email that my application is complete. Does anyone have an approximate timeline to when they received an interview after getting this email?

When did you submit your secondary? I submitted mine mid-August, but haven't received a complete email.

I think I submitted all of my secondaries in the last week of August. It's hard to say when we don't receive much communication from the school.

It's definitely frustrating, but hopefully they get the ball rolling now.
 
Can anyone tell me what interview day is like? Are there any questions the interviewers are prone to asking?

You can PM me if you want more specific information, but the interviews were great and very conversational. They just wanted to get to know who I was and if I truly wanted to go to VCOM for my medical education.
 
Did y'all send thank you letters here? I interviewed today and she said the committee was meeting tomorrow, so it's not like they will have my thank you letters by then. But then again I guess that's good interview etiquette since they gave us business cards? Lol

I interviewed Monday and was told the committee was meeting yesterday, and we would hear back between today and Friday.

Thank you, I hope that doesn't mean bad news for me since I haven't heard yet:/ anyone else on here interview 10-13 hear anything yet?
 
Just interviewed here earlier this week. This is a beautiful school. Very professional, welcoming staff and faculty. Students are enthusiastic and friendly. The town of Spartanburg is small, but the school itself seems fantastic! Very impressed

Did they mention when you would hear back? Still anxiously waiting :whistle:
 
Still nothing here:/ I was told the same, about a week which means I should have heard today. I'm a ball of anxiety as well...it's my number one choice!!

I am applying to all three campuses. I do not have a DO LOR and from what it seems on the website, I can go through the entire process and then be conditionally accepted but then have to spend some time with a DO before it being a full acceptance. Am I reading this right? Or will they not give me a decision until I have spent that time with a DO physician? Anyone have any insight on this?

I believe all the campuses have professors who will take prospective students on "day in the life of a VCOM student" shadow tours and you can obtain a letter that way. Especially Carolina campus. PM me if you want more info!

She told us between Wednesday and Friday (I know it's not even Friday yet, but I've been checking my phone nonstop since Wednesday at 8am lol). I think the ad com only meets once every 2-3 weeks and it happened to be this week so you will probably hear back tomorrow! Let me know when you hear! I'll be at work all day and my phone gets zero service so tomorrow is going to be a longggg day until I get off at 4! Haha

I'll definitely post when I hear something. I'll be at work too but thankfully my reception isn't too bad 🙂 good luck!!
 
Thanks everyone and good luck to all who got accepted. I still think this is an amazing school🙂 I'll have to find out why I didn't measur up. But I have been accepted elsewhere so at least the dream will still come true. Just really saw myself at VCOM
