VCOM/BLUEFIELD POST BACC 2018-2019

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Current Post-Bacc student here. Just wanted to stop by and wish you guys good luck for admissions!

I know it can be a difficult experience with the waiting game and general fear of the unknown. For last year's cycle, I applied in early January and received my acceptance in June. I was rejected by LECOM's Post-Bacc and was a very borderline candidate to say the least, so don't give up hope as it is still early. If your goal is to matriculate into medical school, this program is an absolute blessing and definitely one of the best in terms of true linkage.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

It came by mail, so they may have sent it on like Thursday and it just got here today. I was expecting an email too. Glad I haven't been checking my email every hour for the past 3 months, haha.
 
Hello. Urgent question. Since the deadline is tonight do we just have to submit the application by tonight or we need our rec letter writers to send letters and everything by today?

i might be wrong but before you submit it it asks you whether you have everything completed, one being getting those letters of rec." But i might be wrong and wouldn't hurt to submit it except $$

Oh no. Ok. When I submitted the letter request it had an option to have the writer submit after April 15th. Does that mean it could still be completed? Any idea?

not really sure, i'd call Bluefield tomorrow to make sure, as long as you've requested your letters of rec. But i would submit my application tonight!

ok I will do that. Thank you!
 
Before you call be aware that today is the Memorial for the Va Tech shooting. It may be in poor taste to call about your application today.

Did you find out via mail or email?? I first heard notifications were being sent out via email, but I’m not sure anymore since someone else said they received a letter. Just so I know which to constantly check.. lol

Congrats!!

Good Morning! I called Sheila today, she told me 25 students have been admitted to the program thus far.

Wow, that's so great for them! I'm anxious to how many spots will be left by the time they get to the February/March verified people. Last year, I was told 120 people was the cap to the program.
 
I hope they go through them quick, I have deposits due soon to other programs.

Yea I hope they won't fill up by the time they get to Feb that would be disheartening
 
I wonder if they are looking at them as they were received or if they have a system of filtering them based on metrics. It seems its first come first serve currently which I think is reasonable. Did they say how many they have rejected so far by chance?
 
Hey guys! By chance, do any of you guys know if they send out rejections through mail too? I haven' gotten anything yet and was verified in December.

I also think is first come, first serve, they are probably working on late December/first week of January. I didn't ask how many has been rejected. @DaddyNoBeard you will probably hear from them the next week or so. I was verified February 1st, I have to wait longer :-(

🙁 I feel like I've been waiting for 2 years lol but thank you for the heads up! 2 or 3 more weeks shouldn't be too much longer! I think I can do that haha
 
I was rejected my states sGPA 3.0 cGPA 3.3 and MCAT 499. I am okay with it though I am attending LECOMS post bacc program. Good luck guys. Also I applied in February and I got an email not letter. So maybe rejections come via email and getting in comes in the mail who knows.

Sorry to hear. Congrats on LECOM though! Did you transfer your application from AACOMAS or did you do the post bac cas app?

At least we know there are still 95 spots left....Although, I would like to know if they are already reviewing February/March applications. So much suspense!!!

I was told that they are reviewing PostBacCAS applications in the order they were verified, but it sounded as if the transferred applications are separate from those and not necessarily reviewed in the order received. Shiela also mentioned that both rejected and accepted applicants would receive an email, but only acceptances would receive a letter from Bluefield College in the mail. I’m not sure exactly how far along they are though. I was verified mid-January so crossing my fingers it’ll only be a few more weeks.
 
So does anyone know when the admissions committee meets? So I can have an idea of when to look out for a response.
