Hey miramorel, did you ever have to contact the admissions office to follow up with ur application process? I was completed back in Feb and my Ban Web's "complete ready to process" status hasn't changed since then.
Good Morning Everyone! I got in touch with Alex, current MSMS class president, and he says the colloquium is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 27th from 10-12pm. This will be a professional setting, so they will be dressed in professional attire as I think we all should be. I will confirm this date and time with Jodi as Alex said it may change. For those who are still waiting to hear back or are going to be interviewed soon, please let me know if you would be interested in attending if you get acceptance by April 27th. Thanks! =)
Mine did not change online. It still says "complete ready to process."
I do not know what you mean by follow up..? I emailed them to make sure that they received everything but that was all.
Maybe you should email them or call and see if you can check on the status of your application process. Or have you already heard from them and just saying your online status did not change? lol
i see thanks!!
Received April 14th interview. I'm pre-DO and interested in linkage. I'm debating on this program through linkage or if I should go through with an MPH-Epidemiology through Loma Linda University. Decisions Decisions!
Send me an invite through facebook, too, if possible =P

Congrats MCATbound! I'm in the April 14th interview too!
Application - $50
Interview - $2 parking + $20 in gas
PA Program 1st evaluation of my application resulting in a "most likely no" - $0
Jodi putting a hold on my application - $4.95 (starbucks to make myself feel better)
Emailed Jodi previous Western Application for Fall 2010 - $0
Jodi presenting my application to PA program again - $0
PA Program giving me the chance to matriculate in their program - $4.95 for preliminary celebration at starbucks
knowing that i am not yet rejected - priceless
Anyways, I hope that you made you laugh. lol.
Spoke to Jodi today in regards to my status.
The PA program is giving me the chance to matriculate in their program in contingent that I do very well in the MSMS program because a linkage has not been created and their avg science gpa is quite high compare to mine.
The only thing left to do is for Jodi to have all the committee members vote me on for the MSMS and become the first ever pre-PA on the MSMS program ( as of yet - i don't know if the upcoming interviews have Pre-PA students)
Wish me Luck (again) !

Thank Jacob, I'm spending whatever assets I have left on a gray suit but I'm unsure if this is wise investment since I have other colors. I'm totally lost on what to wear for Thursday... Built in AC system in my jacket would suffice.
HAHA you're cute! I had a hard time deciding what to wear too. I'm sosososo nervous for this Thursday!
So from what I can gather only one non-DO PAbound who is the only person who has been accepted to the program(congrats🙂).
Are there any other non-DO who have been accepted? Dental or Optometry?
I'm starting to really worry about the status of my application since I have not heard anything from the admissions committee since my interview on march 10th. Jodi has been an impossibility to reach lately.

I'm not accepted. Forgive me if any of my posts communicated acceptance - but through my clarification - I am not (yet) accepted as of today (April 14, 2011 6:32 pm)
I'm still in the same boat as you and every other applicants who has not been informed on a final decision.
I do feel the frustrations of lingering in limbo, but I am very blessed for making this far.
Good luck everybody.
After the April 14th Interview this is the information I received:
One more interview session is on the 28th of April. This interview date will be for a few spots left in the program. The admissions committee will be meeting next Thursday and discuss and make decisions on who is Accepted, Waitlisted and Non-Accepted. Results of the meeting should be sent out to students as late as the Monday following the Thursday meeting. But don't hold me to that!
That's all the information I have been told to give out. Also, Jodi said, for the students who interviewed in the first and second session who haven't received a response yet: stop worrying, you haven't been chosen yet only because they have been waiting for the admissions committee to get together in one room! Regarding the applicants who have already been accepted (from 1st and 2nd interview session), they were exceptional students and were given admittance as soon as possible. Congratulations for them, they deserve the early decision.
For the rest of us in attendance during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd interview dates and waiting for a decision: Good Luck!!!! I hope to see you guys soon!

Quick question for those who have already interviewed, how long did the interview day last? I am still awaiting an interview invite, but if they are holding their last set of interviews on the 28th, I might have to change a flight I have to a later time or date in order to attend.

The interview lasted from 8 to 4:30 for me. It just all depends on how many people are in the group because the interviews don't actually start until after lunch around 1. My suggestion for you is to just assume your day is not going to end until 5 just to be safe.
Please message me your information if you are already accepted to the MSMS program and are interested in attending the Colloquium on April 27th. I have posted on the Facebook page so please ignore this message if you have already confirmed that you will be attending on the facebook page. Thanks! =)
Hi PAbound86, did they mention when they were going to meet up to decide?
); I need to stop checking my email every 5 min. hahaha
its alright - you are not alone.
I interviewed on the 14th too! & same here! I'm trying not to think about it too much, cause it's making me so nervous HAHA
I am in the process of applying to Western's DO program, but I have heard mixed reviews about the curriculum change regarding the emphasis on problem-based teaching. A few 3rd years that I've talked to say that they didn't like the change at all and that it did NOT prepare them for their boards at all.
Is anyone currently a student at Western or is an alumni? Did you personally find the overall curriculum to prepare you well for the USMLE boards? (if you took those) Thanks for your help and I appreciate your feedback!

When do you think we will hear? Hopefully tomorrow since that will make it 2 weeks? Are you on the facebook group yet?
Sorry for all the questions. 🙂
Hello miramorel! I have no clue when we'll hear :/ I'm not really expecting to find out when they say we will, because it seems like everything is chaotic and everyone's busy. But hopefully soon (&hopefully good news HAHA)! I'm not on the facebook group, are you? No worries about the questions! My mind's jumping all over the place too hahaha.
Sorry no one's answered you! Most of the people on this thread are not currently students at Western. We're all trying to get in hehe
I am. You can add me as a friend and I can add you to the group if you would like. Miranda Morelan-- It has the accepted students and then the people that are still in waiting so it has been an interesting one. haha
Any news????
I guess not... haha That may be a really good thing though. 🙂
So... we should know early this week. Please let it be tomorrow!!! Also found out there is another day for interviews on May 17th.
