This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

I've just gotten notification to be interviewed at COMP! :wow: :horns: 😀


WHhHHATT?? You already filled out secondaires and returned them?????!!

Lucky you!

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK! 👍
 
This seems a bit fishy to have submitted, been processed, mailed, received a secondary, filled it out, been processed, reviewed, and extended an interview only four weeks after submitting.

My app has been sitting idle for three days already, although they have everything. 👎
 
Here is what it said:

"Thank you for considering Western University of Health Sciences of the Pacific. Your profile was received from AACOMAS and we invite you to download our Supplementary Application on line at the following link:"

"Based on your primary application you have been selected to be interviewed. You will receive a phone call to set up an interview appointment from Linda Cortez, Admissions Coordinator. If you do not hear from her in a few days from please feel free to contact her at..."

I know it sounds too good to be true but thats what it says.

Already? They must really like you. Our class doesn't start for another month.

When is your interview? Good luck.

I remember getting an invitation for an interview for COMP even when I didn't fill out the secondary application. I guess that's just the way things are now over there?

Thanks! I don't know yet as I just got the email today. I figure they will probably call me sometime next week to set up a date since the long weekend is coming up.

Btw...I have a friend going to COMP 2008. 👍
 
This is pretty standard...I think. If you get above a 30 MCAT and have above a 3.5 GPA I think they give you an automatic interview. UC Davis has a similar system called the UCD-score. 50% of your score is MCAT and 50% is GPA, if you get above a 85 they automatically invite you to interview. So, if you were in the 80th percentile of the MCATs you would get 50X0.8= 40 points thus you would need 45 more points from your GPA (4X0.9=3.6GPA)=Automatic interview.

I doubt it cause the class has been full for awhile and there are people still waiting to get in off the waitlist. 😉

Cool deal then. I'm not a fan of COMP, but any school is better than no school. 👍

JKDMed hey, I never heard where you were going to med school? (Sorry, I've just read a few of your replies to other posts and as I recall you were applying this last admissions cycle [2008] or is it this one [2009]? ) You just seem like a pretty funny and cool guy from your posts... to bad your not a COMP fan, as I take it you are not going here, you would probably be fun to have in our class. 😀

Maybe its just because your a matial arts enthusiest and I was involved in martial arts for about 13 years...kinda went by the wayside when I got married, had a kid and started working full-time while going to school full-time. 😡 Now i jsut get to study more than full-time 🙂
 
It's true I just got mine.

It must not be 30 MCAT and above 3.5 for comp since im below both as far as my numbers are concerned. What I don't get, why the secondary if I got a straight interview?
 
CONGRATS!!!! I wish my friggin application would already get verified with my transcripts and sent out to schools. I hope you do well and maybe we'll be classmates. 👍
