After submitting your secondary application how long did it take for you guys to hear back? I submitted mine 16 days ago and still haven't heard back. Thanks.

Omg!! If VCOM sends me ONE MORE EMAIL that says "You are invited," and it's NOT for an interview, I'm going to pull out all my hair! Just got the email for a virtual open house on 10/23...

Have you been checking your portal? I never got an email for an II but when I checked my portal there was an interview tab the other day!
 
has anyone with an acceptance here received their package in the mail yet?
 
Just received an email to attend a session about VCOM Louisiana on October 1st... do y’all think the admissions team actually sees who signs up? I’ve signed up for every one and went to the sessions but no interview invite yet..

I really feel like these are not relevant to getting an invite, but I may be wrong.

Idk about VCOM but I had an interview the day of a welcome session for another school and ended up only doing my interview and I still got accepted. N = 1 but I honestly don’t think it matters unless they let it be known it does.

What does "N = 1" mean?

"N = 1" means the statistical sample size = 1 sample. It is usually said in reference to there not being enough information to draw a statistically sound conclusion.

Hey guys! Can anyone that has already interviewed tell me about the interview format? Thank you!

I interviewed here on 9/22. You start the day off with an introduction and overview. Then you will have 3 interviews with 3 different people, each lasts about 25 minutes (open file). You then get more info on fin aid and student health to end the day.

It has been 4 weeks since I submitted my secondary application and still haven't received an update about the status of it. Should I wait a few more days before emailing them?

does anyone know the chance of being accepted after being interviewed? A lot of people seem to get accepted after their interviews which seems promising!
 
So can anyone comment on the safety of the city? I’ve read a lot of things about how dangerous the city is (nothing bad about the school). Any thoughts?

I also wanted to PM you but that feature is unavailable--it seems like your account is limited?

My questions are:
1-What kind of stats were you working with when you applied and what was your timeline like for applications & interviews?
2-What made you choose the LA campus over VCOM's other 3?
3-As a member of the LA campus, can you still do the MPH from VT that the Virginia campus can?

Sorry, I'm still learning how to use account features on here. I changed some settings now so perhaps it will work now?

Responses:
1: My ugpa was 3.5 ish, MCAT > 75 percentile. Application timeline was secondary submitted mid-September, interview mid-November. Last year's application season started later than average.
2: LA campus was closest to my hometown and I like Cajun food.
3: As far as I know, combined degrees are not yet an option. Maybe that will change soon.

Hello All, I received the acceptance package today but I have decided to withdraw my acceptance. Do you all think I should return it? I just feel bad because they sent bunch of goodies and I’m not planning to attend their campus! Any help is appreciated:)
