Same thing just happened to me as well.. getting nervous because they have no sent out IIs in a while.

Members don't see this ad.
 
To anyone who interviewed with me on 9/11/17, it was so nice to meet you all. I loved our group! :happy:

Im not following your reasoning. You think they have filled their class? that seems doubtful this early.

Sorry two separate thoughts there. 1. My letters disappeared as well and 2. I hope they send out some more IIs soon since it looks like it has been a while since a ton of people have gotten them.

My letters are still there but the supplemental application fee is gone.

The letters and fee just disappeared from mine.

Mine as well. I'm kinda worried, but glad there's movement.

This happening on the portal is probably 50% of the discussion on this thread. So far, no one has been able to derive any meaning from these little changes. I have had them happen on my portal as well, and I am still waiting to hear about pre-II rejection, hold, or II.

I submitted my secondary on September 3rd, saw the checklist change and had the two letter columns plus the supplemental fee column appear the next day but they were not marked received. Today I log into the portal, the two LORs columns are gone lol. This weird, has it happened to anyone? Should I call or wait?
Now, even the supplemental fee column has disappeared. Only things left are supplemental application and disciplinary question.

lol, I lost all my stuff too on the checklist.
 
If I get an email that says: "Thank you for your interest in the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. We are pleased you have submitted your application for our consideration. Due to the high volume of applications we receive during the early stages of the application cycle, we currently have a limited number of interview slots available. We want to assure you that your application is still under consideration, and we will continue to update you regarding your status. The highest number of applications is generally received during the first few months of the application cycle; therefore, additional time is needed to review all files and extend interview offers. We appreciate your patience in this important process. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us." Does that mean my application has been deferred? :(
I got this email a while ago and then received an interview offer a few weeks later! Don't get your hopes down yet

My checklist still has the supplemental application, letters, and disciplinary questions, but I do not have the supplemental application fee anymore. Man their checklist is so whack! Haha
 
Hi everyone! i just received an email saying my application has been placed on hold (deferred decision) and I'm kind of confused as to what that means exactly. am i getting rejected, or is that kind of like being put on a waitlist? for reference my stats are: non traditional student with a degree in architecture 508 mcat, 3.2cgpa, 3.3 sgpa, 3.7pbgpa. Any help or clarity would be amazing! thanks guys!

Do we know how many people interview? if an interview invite is sent, does that mean if we succeed in our interview then we will be accepted?

I can recall seeing this information somewhere on their website. I can't recall the exact number, but I believe it was ~450 people that were interviewed. I know guessing isn't the answer you're looking for, so if anybody else has other stats, please tell me I'm wrong haha.
