For discussion of the school noted above. This includes interview dates, questions, etc. Threads will be merged in here if they are created on their own.
My page says "decision deferred". What does this mean? Does it mean that they have reviewed my application already and are not going to give me an interview at this time? Or does it mean that they haven't received everything yet?
Hello, I submitted my primary on June 1st and like 3 days ago I got an email from them about the secondary. The cool thing thought is that you do not have to feel the secondary out unless you are selected for an interview, so you could possibly save some cash there. Nice to know one place might actually be looking to save us some money. Oh, and I am retaking the MCAT so I do not think they are waiting for new scores. Good Luck!!!
oh wow, an interview invite already? did they say when that was going to be, or just to submit the secondary and wait till u hear from them?
is it possible to pay is state tuition after the first year, once you move into wv ?
I doubt it. Everyone could do that then, as most of their students probably moved to WV as soon as their class got started.

I submitted my app on Friday, June 25, 2010. Does anyone know when I might here something from WVSOM?
Just because your app is in doesn't mean you will get an immediate response. Give them some time. Last year they had only just reached the half-way mark in terms of applicants accepted in January, so just because you don't have a Fall interview doesn't mean you won't get accepted.I submitted my app on Friday, June 25, 2010.

I wasn't expecting an immediate response. I was just curious of when to expect an email.Just because your app is in doesn't mean you will get an immediate response. Give them some time.

WVSOM gets over 3000 applications a year. They interview around 500-600. They accept roughly 350 of those, and of those 350, roughly 200 matriculate. There are no "fixed number of spots". If you get an interview, your chances are better than 50/50.
The nice thing about WVSOM is they won't ask you for the supplimental/secondary application and fee without giving you an interview.

hopefully cliffhux (above) is right. i'm believing cliff for now. i would be surprised if committees are reviewing applications in july.

HockeyDr, dont you have an mcat of a 27? That's a pretty good score for them to put you on hold. Makes me nervous about my chance there :/
I talked to Angie today to make sure my mcat score was recieved. She said they will probably get to me any day now to make a decision. My stats are 3.96 gpa, 3.92 sgpa, 24P mcat. I'm getting nervous knowing I will be getting my verdict so soon..
i also got a decision deferred email the other day. gpa is a little above 3.2 and mcat is a 28
Wow.. that makes me nervous. I would have thought you would be competitive. I have a feeling I should just expect the same thing. It makes me wonder why NO ONE has posted that they got an interview.

As mentioned in previous posts in this thread, Decision Deferred does not mean "no".
read FAQ on there website. It means that the decision is not made yet.Sorry if I came off as brusque. I know it's easier to counsel patience when I don't have a med school application on the line. When I get to Lewisburg I'll ask the admissions office what "Decision Deferred" means exactly; all the possible reasons. My money is still on them sifting through several thousand apps.
No, they don't want LORs until they schedule your interview and ask for your secondary app.Should i submit my letters to wvsom now? or should I wait until/if I get a secondary?>
When should I submit my letters of recommendation?Letters of recommendation are accepted at any time. It will be helpful in the decision process if required letters of recommendation are available for review.
