Hi guys,
For those of you who have been snooping around WVSOM's website, you might have noticed that there's one page of thier website with a red car that runs by and trailing the car is a message "Great MCAT scores? Speed through Admissions!"
When you click on the link it says that if you have 28 or greater MCAT and a 3.5 GPA, then you don't have to go for an interview. The website states:
"If a student meets the above criteria, they may receive an immediate letter of acceptance if seats are available. Students meeting these criteria will not have to undergo an interview; however, students are invited to schedule a time to tour the school."
No interview?
Is this fair to the rest of us who have been applying to WVSOM? Everyone else had to have an interview? Why does a select group of people not have to undergo an interview? Just because you have a 28 MCAT and 3.5 GPA does not mean you will automatically be a good physician.
Also, isn't this a danger to the school? What if a money driven lunatic enters the medical school?
And case you don't believe that money driven lunatics won't get into medical school, then visit the pre-allopathic forum because they got an article from Texas talking about a scary orthopedic surgeon killing patients on the OR table! An interview is the school's last line of defence against such money driven people whom are incompetent physicians.
I'm going to WVSOM, so I am concerned a great deal about this. Well, how do you guys fee about this? Does any other school have something similar?
