It definitely appears as if this school got stingier with their interview invites than previous years

I do appreciate the quick turnaround though. Good luck to those with interview invites and everyone still waiting!

And it is nice that they send you a quick response letting you know that you wont get an interview, instead of having you wait around aimlessly for nothing. On to the next one!

Rejected today. Good luck to everyone who survived the cut!

 

[Superfluous94]

rejected today, 510, 3.65. i knew something was fishy when zero people matriculated from michigan last year...shouldn't have applied lol

 

[Octossy]

Is it worth submitting the secondary for this school? Last year 0 internationals got in out of 150 people. Not very promising.

Are you looking at MSAR? Keep in mind that number is matriculation number, not acceptance. If you read through WVU thread from last year, there was one international who got in. He/She did not enroll though.

That is a little more promising. I hope WVU likes high gpas.

I don't think there's any way of knowing that had any effect at all.

[InHandWashingWeTrust]

II today OOS. I am worried that my chances here are drastically low as I haven't taken CASPER and didn't plan on taking it before now.

I got an II well before I took Casper

 

[yolkypolk]

II today OOS, complete 8/2! Does anyone else not see their interview date under 'Events' in the application portal after scheduling their interview or is it just me?

Also sucks the earliest date is November..

EDIT: Nevermind it is showing up on the portal now, but it's saying it is from 7AM to 12:30PM? Thought it was from 10-3:30PM lol.

Mountaineer station is at downtown campus, not health science campus. Not a two minute walk


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile

No, Mountaineer Station IS actually near health sciences campus. I've been there and took the bus multiple times.
Downtown campus is about 15 minutes drive from the health sciences campus.
Check out the attached screenshot of the map for clarification

Hi everyone! Interview question here. For anyone flying in, which airport are you flying into? I noticed on the II email that the school mentions the Pittsburgh airport, is this the closest one? I found the Morgantown airport, but there are no flights on the day I need to come in.

The Morgantown airport isn't a true airport because they only have propeller planes. We have to fly to Pittsburgh and then either use a car or transit to get to Morgantown. I'm planning on using the Grey Line bus to get there.

[Cholecystokinin]

Is anyone thinking about flying to Pittsburgh and then flying to Morgantown from there? That's what I have been looking at.

Morgantown isn't really that far from PIT, I would just rent a car.

thats awesome

 

[Cholecystokinin]

Thanks for the input. I'm just weighing my options. This is all a really new experience for me, so I'm open to the "adventure" aspect of it either way lol.

 

[bengirlxD]

thats awesome

IKR! The think is that it's actually slower and more costly otherwise I would love to ride!

 

[boogiecousins94]

is it worth it to apply here if I'm OOS from New England, 3.3cGPA 3.25sGPA (Huge upward trend, 2.7 to 3.7 last two years), MCAT 515 128/128/131/128, 3500hrs research, 3 different labs, first author publication, current lab manager at a top 5 hospital/med school, normal volunteering ECs etc.

I don't have ties to WV though but it seems relatively OOS friendly just don't know if they love high GPA over high MCAT

Yeah it's about an hour, maybe a little less

What were your stats if you dont mind me asking?

Look up our class profile on the wvu HSC website. Mine were basically the same.

 

[KdotLB]

Seems like a lot of Wednesday decisions have been made by WVU, atleast on this thread. Fingers crossed...

If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure the committee meets every Tuesday. So that could be why. It's either every Tuesday or every Thursday, I cant remember. But every Tuesday would account for the Wednesday decisions

Out of curiosity, when did you complete your application and did you apply through the EDP? Like you, I am eagerly awaiting a decision from WVU.

Thanks!

Not sure how it works but I got their email on a Monday, so I guess they are sending emails out everyday.

Does anyone know how large the interview groups are per day? It seems like they have a lot of interview dates so ... just curious

 

[Pebble Wrestler]

Did anyone else here apply early decision?

It's like 10-12 per day

 

[perpetuallyconfused]

Does anyone know what a preparatory master's program is? I have an unrelated master's in engineering, not sure if that counts. It wasn't meant to 'prepare' me for medical school.
