Just looking for opinions - Given the above, how long would you wait from completion post-secondary before inquiring?

I received a secondary (which I also heard was good news because they screen heavily) and was notified my application was complete on 7/1. No interview invite yet.

Anyone here get a II?

Just spoke with admissions asking why I haven’t received a secondary, super nice she said they were waiting on my MCAT and I’m under re-review now. She read the notes and it said low science gpa or 2.98 but good mcat 510. FML lol so I guess they do screen

I completed their secondary 4 weeks ago, according to this thread they haven't sent out II yet. I wouldn't send them anything until they start issuing II.

Do you have the EMAIL you spoke with her on? I have emailed the school several times and it just keeps being returned.

Emailed them today asking if I was going to receive a secondary (I am a low GPA, but reinvented applicant). No reply but 15 minutes later I received the secondary saying that I was competitive and they want more info on me.

Did everyone who submitted a secondary type the response or hand write it and then reupload to computer?

How long after emailing your secondary did everyone receive a “received email”?

Seems some people got a secondary after reaching out. I don’t think this school has a high stats cut off. I think it truly is holistic. Contact them!

Anyone who has reached out and received a secondary have advice on the wording? "I'm interested and would appreciate the opportunity to complete a secondary application..." ?

From what I gave read, basically just know "Why DO, why WCU, etc." Everyone says the interview is very laid back and conversational. Im sure youll do great!

I reached out to them yesterday, since it was one of only a handful of schools (including MD) that I didn't receive a secondary for. The response I got was them sending what's considered competitive for them and wishing me the best of luck in the future - although it wasn't a clear rejection. I sent them an update letter anyway on stuff I'd done over the summer. Honestly, I wish more schools were like this and more selective in their primaries. I hate doing a bunch of extra writing and paying additional fees for a school that'll probably reject me anyway.

Be yourself; they've already decided they like you well enough on paper, so let them see your personality.

Also make sure you test the technology beforehand and that where you will be sitting is well lit.

Pretty sure someone on last years post said this was a rejection. I’m not sure how true that is, however I emailed them and didn’t receive a reply, but 15 minutes later I received a secondary. I’m sure you’ll get in somewhere else!

Edit: However I did read that some people have been persistent with showing interest and they have extended secondaries.
 
Should I email the school if I haven't heard back about my interview prospects and I have been complete since 7/31?
