Is this normal?

That's definitly strange, and seems like the rejection isn't due to your stats. Even if they weren't giving more interviews at this point, why would they not put your application on hold or something for now. Have you contacted them at all?

 

thanotoriousfob, that is extremely wierd. when u call up the school and find out, can you please inform us?? Cuz I applied to WU as well, but ur stats are better than mine so im worried. Thank you.

 

It's absolutely normal. All schools have their own criteria in searching for students. I got accepted to Western Health and PCO - still hearing from UHCO. My stats is lower than yours - GPA 3.55, OAT 320/TS340, I did not get an interview from SCCO due to my RC is right below 300. They wrote me a letter saying that I should go retake my test before they offer me interview. However, I know I have enough choices and not need to go to SCCO interview. I have 3 + yrs of experiences in Optometry. WH looks alot on your maturity and development. GPA and OAT is not everything. Their interviews were all behavioral questions - basically - You might need to check what you wrote on your personal statement. That probably is the keypoint to your interview invitation.

 

Hmm.. maybe you're trying the wrong e-mail or the wrong phone number? In my experiences with contacting them I've received responses to e-mails within 2 days and a phone call returned the same day. In your situation I'm sure you'd want to speak with the director of admissions so try this e-mail... [email protected] if you haven't done so.

 

My guess would be that since your stats are pretty good, the admissions at Western probably realize that they are at the bottom of your list and you are most likely going to get into a more established school. My friend got waitlisted at SCCO last year and she has stats pretty close to yours. I guess they were waiting to see if she would get accepted to UCBSO (which she did). Hope that helps.
