I was told that three applicants would be interviewing at 10 a.m. and three at 1 p.m. on November 17th. That date was recently pushed back to December 1st. I know of no one else invited. I presume that they are not members of SDN.
you guys are lucky! Good luck everyone. Hey 25FromBoston,So applicants not from the region wont be considered? Im not sure if I should apply. I am from Boston, but I want to practice and go to med school in the south, since my husbands family is from TN. I wish I was from TN or KY now lol, they have LMU-DCOM, Pikeville, and now WCU giving them preferenceall great schools
so far, I was told that there's only 8-10 interview invitations. The committee will keep reviewing applications every week. I hope I will get an invitation soon.
Yes. I'm 52 and will be one month shy of 53 when I start medical school in August 2010. I have one acceptance so far and other interviews pending.
I received a call from the new Associate Dean of Admissions in which he invited me to an interview. I recall from our conversabation that some 300 applications had been sent in and more were coming in every day. I don't know how many were reviewed. He did say that the primary focus was on applications from residents of LA, MS and AR.Do you think this means just those first few applications they received? I got mine in a few weeks after that. I'm thinking it might be a little while until I hear from them still. Oh well...this process has made me pretty patient.

I am glad to hear that these schools still consider outside the region. I'm up here all lonely in Indiana with no DO school (even though I could walk to Kentucky from my hometown in about 30 minutes haha). It sucks because I am so close to Kentucky that I would definitely consider it for future practice, as it is still close to my family, but yet they tend to go for the Appalachian region instead of the midwest. It seems as though most of the schools here in the midwest are very established and also place less emphasis on regional preferences (CCOM, DMU, KCUMB) so all the schools I would look to for regional preference, well, don't have it. And their stats are all pretty high, so I haven't had the best of luck with them. *Sigh* Maybe I'll start a DO school in Indiana one day
I recieved my invite via e-mail and a confirming letter in the mail.
to . I am talking to AACOMAS personnel to find out what the problem is with my application.
I applied the first day AACOMAS opened for WCU in mid September. I was complete within 2 weeks. I was invited to an interview in mid October origininaly to be held in mid November. The school then rescheduled my interview to December 1st.
When were you complete?
I'm flying into New Orleans and renting a car and driving the 120 miles to WCU. It's about the same distance as from Jackson and there are many more flights in and out of the Big Easy.
There's really not much to tour yet as the medical school goes. You could prolly do the whole campus tour in 15-20 minutes. It's not a big campus.
