Accepted!!!
They screen pre-secondary.Anyone not receive a secondary from this school? This is the only school I haven't gotten one from so I am confused.
As someone who is interviewing here soon, does anyone have any tips on how to prepare.
Hey all, current first year student here. I know this can be an incredibly discouraging process, but it pays off to keep trying. Initially I was not offered a secondary application at WCUCOM due to my GPA. However, after calling and expressing continued interest, Dr. Weir sent me a follow up email and offered a secondary. I interviewed in April and was accepted in May. It felt like the faculty were genuinely engaged during my interview and it was honestly the easiest one I’ve done, since it was so laid back. Let me know if you have any questions! You guys rock and you’ve got this!
Flew into Hattiesburg which is the Laurel airport I believe. I stayed at the Courtyard but there’s lots of hotels around and mine didn’t have a complimentary breakfast so I do not recommend. I got around my entire three day trip with uber and lyft so I don’t believe that a rental is necessary.For those who interviewed, which airport did you guys fly into? hotels? do I need a car rental or is uber available? .... recommendations.

Yeah PIB and it wasn’t a super far drive to my hotel or the school. I found ubers and lyfts my entire stay so hopefully you’d be fine!Did you fly into PIB? The Laurel-Hattiesburg airport? I noticed it’s a town called Moselle of 18,000 people. I was hoping there was some Lyfts or Uber’s around since I don’t want to rent a car either!

May I ask how much time passed between your application being marked complete and receiving an interview invitation?Accepted 8/21!! Wohoooo
You can fly spirit to New Orleans. My ticket was $90 RT but rental car is where the money is at.II just now as well! Complete 8/15
Also does anyone know what the cheapest airport to fly to is?
Hey Guys! Silly question, I know, but for the secondary app, did you all just type out your answer to the essay question, and then glue it on to the paper, or type directly on the form?

I interviewed 8/26 and I was called by their admissions staff.When did you interview? And how did you find out about acceptance? Congrats!
I heard we have two weeks after October 1st to place deposit. That’s what a current student told me but that could be wrong.For accepted students we will receive the packet/instructions for the next steps on October 1st right? And the deposit is due prior to December 14th?
I Think as long as were accepted before Nov. 15 then we have until Dec. 14 to make the deposit. If accepted between Nov.15 and Jan.14 then we have thirty days. If accepted afterwards then it’s almost an immediate deposit I think.I heard we have two weeks after October 1st to place deposit. That’s what a current student told me but that could be wrong.
Sucks that it's non-refundable, I have an interview on Jan 9thI Think as long as were accepted before Nov. 15 then we have until Dec. 14 to make the deposit. If accepted between Nov.15 and Jan.14 then we have thirty days. If accepted afterwards then it’s almost an immediate deposit I think.

Ugh, so they sent me a secondary and after I submit it they say I need a LOR from a physician. I have 3 from professors. Does anybody know if they will still look at my application?
That happened to me a few years ago. They did not interview me without a physician letter. When I talked to them about it, they told me that a teacher with an MD / DO degree would suffice. If that isn’t an option for you, try to shadow a physician before the cycle closes and see if they would be willing to submit a letter for you.
I didn't and got a ll and an interview, so you probably don't need to hahaI know it's a weird question, but did you guys indent paragraphs in your essay?
