in prior years they kept on interviewing in March & April, though I know that's not a guarantee of it happening this year. UIWSOM doesn't use TMDSAS, so doesn't have to be done with interviews in February.

Let's see what happens after TMDSAS Match Day and whether that will create some spaces in their current class roster.

Got an email inviting me To an open house. Really thought it was an interview invite :/
I really hope they send out more interviews soon. I’ve been on a pre-interview hold since November

Anyone attending the virtual student panel today at 3pm CT?

I didn’t get an email about this, how did you know a panel was happening today?

I didn’t either. I just saw it on their website and signed up I think it is still available to register for
 
Hi Guys, I am a current OMS1 here at the school if anyone has questions please reach out and I'll do my best to answer your questions as timely as I can.

From what I saw on the website it looks like the bulk of a typical day is spent in self directed learning or group study. Do y’all ever have traditional lectures? If so how often?

At the virtual panel, did they mention if II are still being sent or are they done?

They said they will interview until April (I think, anyone feel free to check me on this), that their class is not yet full, and the waitlist will continue to move through June I’m pretty sure. Additionally people were asking if it’s too late to send secondaries and they said no, but it’s also not ideal to send it so late in the cycle

Also a UIWSOM adcom mentioned that the class is not "full" yet, so hopefully there will be some more II's and waitlist movement!

Yes so from 8-12 we have classes (most are mandatory attendance). Then the rest of the day is yours to self study. We have lecture style classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (Called LGS). I hope that answers your question.

How do you like the exam format?
Click to expand...
The exam style format is really great in my option but it does take some getting used to if you dont come from a academic background where that was the norm. So it is short answer which allows for students to at least get partial credit on exams. This is really beneficial in clinical years when you are going to be asked to explain concepts on the spot. We are also require to do Kaplan questions throughout the units (which are multiple choice) for board prep. Hope that helps :)

Thank you for answering!
 
Cannot tell if their WL is moving or if they are giving out acceptances to recently interviewed students, but the accepted students group added 24 new students just in the last week 😬 can anyone on SDN give their input? Anyone know of any WL movement?
 
I received this email December 23 rd after my secondary was completed and havnt heard anything since. What does this means ?

Thank you for your interest in the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine. This email is to inform you that your application has been reviewed and is still being considered. Due to the limited number of space at each interview session we are currently unable to extend an invitation to participate at this time. However, if space permits, an offer may be extended for a future interview date. Interviews will continue throughout the spring.

It means you might get an interview later. They generally interview through March and April.
