What are your stats? If they are pretty high then that is probably the reason
Not that high at all.... a 25S mcat (after three tries...yea i know standardized tests just take a bite outta my ass and I need to get used to it) and a 3.69 GPA. I did however volunteer in 6 hospitals...one of which is currently in a war-zone. You think it was the experiences? cuz i know for sure that the academics didnt do it!

Maybe they really like your PS, could be the experiences too, so much goes into a app, they probably just liked the whole package!
I don't know if it's normal or not, but there's three others of us that received the interview invite yesterday. I guess the other two and myself are all trying to make it for 9/6.
I asked on another thread, and apparently NYCOM also does it.
Hey! congrats on the interview!!
I was offered a pre-secondary interview last year and am now going to be attending western in the fall.
They send some interviews pre-secondary to applicants they are impressed with. My scores were pretty avg too so I wasn't sure why they wanted to interview me like that, but don't worry... it's a good thing.
SO many people apply to western that they just can't interview everyone.
good question, when did yours go out?
Is that something you really want to know?
Well, if you really do, mine was sent out 6/18. I'll see you there.
mine was sent out a week ago.
High stats or great ECs or both?
GPA 3.48 science/3.62 overall
MCAT 2005 9PS, 9VR, 9BS, R
MCAT 2006 11PS, 7VR, 9BS, R

👍
What year is that from - '06 cycle? If that's the case, it's time to throw away some of these secondaries and save myself a few bucks (which I'd need for Western anyway)
True for most schools... interview = pretty much in. Just don't have tatoos and earings all over your face (no offense, it's just the reality in my opinion)
