I wonder how expensive will be to live in that area.

It really depends where you live (the town, apartment vs house) and if you live with other people. I have friends that pay around $500 a month up to over $1500 a month.
Submitted back in July, fingers crossed. I hope this is it 🙂
Anyone know when we can expect updates/ interview invites?
It’s takes them a bit to get back to you
It’s been a month now but hopefully they do get back to me soon. Thanks!
Oh email again that seems long
I’ve called, emailed, left voicemails but still nothing 🙁
I would just keep a record of the times you've contacted them so you can refer to them in the future if needed. Not much else you can do unfortunately, hopefully they're just catching up on emails and will get back to you!
Thank you! 🙂
Hello all! It’s nice to see this thread 🧵
I an hoping you all receive wonderful news this cycle! For reference, I am a second time applicant and submitted through VMCAS on July 9th. All I know is that my application was sent to committee to review, so I hope that helps someone. Anyone been sent to review yet?

Mine just says sent to admissions for processing 🙁
I'm also on "admissions for processing"! I don't think that's a bad thing, it's still super early and squirrelgirl submitted early July.
I think we should be hearing back soon! My app went to admissions on Sept. 9th!!
Last cycle they did interviews on a rolling basis based off of when you submitted your application. All the applications get sent to admissions for review, they just go in order of when you submitted. You should receive an email from them once your application has been sent for review.
Sent to committee for review! Hopefully interview invites start being sent soon 🙂
When did you submit your app?
9/22 and I was already verified by then
I submitted (verified) 9/8 and mine says sent to admission for processing 🙁((( cry
There's still SO much time left in the cycle I really wouldn't worry about it yet!

Is it bad to have yours say sent to admissions for processing? People are posting like it's a negative, isn't it just a standard? 🙁
Yes, this is totally standard 😄 I think people are just worried because no has heard back yet. That’s just my guess.
Wait like on your portal it says submitted? Or on VMCAS
I don't think they've sent any interview invites yet

I hope they start sending them out soon!
Looks like last year they started sending them towards the end of October, but with the deadline extension and the pandemic still happening who knows what this year's timeline will look like

On my portal it says submitted. But I got an email today saying my application was sent to the committee for review
When did you submit?
If you click on the app and go to the detailed page, under the next steps it should give you more detailed info. Try to forget about all the school usually, Interviews don't roll out until late OCT early November, and for the school, without interviews, It will be silent until January. For now focus on enjoying your free time, after you get in you will have little of it.
Nice!!! When did you finish applying ?
I submitted my VMCAS sometime in June and I applied to the school on the 10th of September
Omg congrats!!! When are you scheduling it for? That's so exciting!
On your application status page, when was the last item on your checklist completed?
On your applicant status page, what is the latest date on your application checklist?
9/22
Oops, I got my dates confused. It was on 9/8

Wow, congratulations!! Good luck on your interview 🙂 Mine still says "sent to admissions for processing", I can't stop being nervous arghhhh. I'm paranoid I filled out the app wrong or something...
You can always reach out to admissions to make sure they have everything! I'm sure they have an order they are going in. I believe they normally have many rounds of interviews so we've just gotta hang tight... so much easier said than done though

Ugh I'm sorry that's so stressful!
Have you tried contacting your specific admissions counselor (Contact Us | Prospective Students And is the course completed and marked on your VMCAS?
Do you mean you were verified on the 10th of September?
OK, I’m just trying to get an idea for a timeline. You applied to Western through VMCAS on Sept. 10th?
