For those that were accepted directly, did you email directly tell you about your acceptance, or were you just told to check the portal?

Any pre and/or post interview events or social gatherings for interviewees?

Does anyone know how the Tracks work at WVU (e.g. Global Health Track)? Do you apply for the tracks after receiving an acceptance?

I take it that you were accepted today as a Canadian? Congrats!

 

[deleted853480]

Are there any questions I have to answer before my interview date? I remember people talking about something of the sort.

It's all on their website...

 

[happytofubear]

what is the difference between problem based learning groups and clinical learning groups at WVU?

what is the difference between problem based learning groups and clinical learning groups at WVU?

They're pretty much the same thing but PBL emphasized preclinical stuff with action maps or whatever, while CLG was more clinical, little more relevant to Step 1.

 

[deleted853480]

How many refrences does this school require 3 or 4?

 

[TUforMD]

Anyone have their interview tomorrow?!

 

[happytofubear]

Which campus do y’all recommend? They are all so great to me haha

Two campus are kinda similar, the other very different. The one in the East is very rural, so if you are into that, put that. Charleston vs Morgantown, which atmosphere do you like more, college town or more professional town? Charleston largest hospital in WV but morgantown has all the awesome WVU stuff.

 

[pfaction]

Morgantown might have the best opportunities, and you will have set up great relationships for potentially two years. Also, no one wants to physically move, it's a hassle.

Charleston is apparently more of a grown-up town compared to the college town of Morgantown. Match rates seem good for both.

Eastern has few/no residents, so you're up first. On everything. They also have modular education. And they're rural as Salsa said.

 

[pewpew95]

Eastern is also quite close to D.C./Nova area if anyone has family there

So I am expected to hear back from here tomorrow since I interviewed there last week. What time did you guys approximately get your decision emails?

Did you get an email today??

 

[TUforMD]

Did you get an email today??

Not yet. I was told at my interview to expect it Wednesday unless there was some sort of setback. Guess ill just have to wait until tomorrow.

Too many competitive applicants on the 10th

 

[MarineMDHopeful]

I got mine on a Thursday

OOS WL. Really disappointing. Thought my interview went well. When does the WL usually start moving?

The waitlist isn't a bad place to be for WVU, there is generally a TON of movement. Keep your head up!

 

[happytofubear]

My email doesnt say congratulations, just please check your portal. Assuming WL? I have to wait until i get home to log in because I dont have my laptop.

 

[italianstallion]

Any suggestions on when to upload a letter of interest? I've been on the waitlist for about a month now. Since there is only a spot to upload one letter of interest, I don't want to do it too early or too late.

 

[happytofubear]

Yup its a WL. Checked on phone.

 

[TUforMD]

I feel like I never see anyone get rejected post-II. Everyone seems to be either accepted or put on WL. Makes me nervous for WL movement.

 

[wvmed104]

Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist yet?

 

[Dr.Donuts]

Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist yet?

not me

 

[lovefood7]

I recently emailed Dr. Nield about waitlist movement and she said that movement won’t start until interviews are over, which won’t be for another 2 months. Maybe there’s a possibility that there could be some movement before then but she didn’t mention that.

That's just confirmation bias...remember these forums are self reported and people and way more likely to report succes versus failure.

Wow two months! Time to hunker down. Maybe i’ll try to trap a coon and make a hat in the meantime in case I get off the waitlist

 

[birdgang211]

Just found out I got waitlisted :/ OOS applicant. But from how many people I see getting waitlisted, I am thinking that this is pretty much just a rejection.

Its not a rejection, they pull the OOS people off waitlist in a couple months

I am just a bit pessimistic as they said that more people get waitlisted than rejected. Does anyone know what percent of the wait list has gotten an acceptance in the past few years?

I feel you, the only stat ive seen is that "over 50% of the incoming class is pulled off the waitlist".
