Many congrats @psychaspiring as someone not applying till next cycle I hope to be as amazing as you this cycle!
Thanks a lot man! I know there are some others with acceptances at WCUCOM already as well, but the thing is WCUCOM let’s us know our decision early, unlike other schools. Which I commend them for!Many congrats @psychaspiring as someone not applying till next cycle I hope to be as amazing as you this cycle!
Do you know their screening criteria by any chance?Thanks a lot man! I know there are some others with acceptances at WCUCOM already as well, but the thing is WCUCOM let’s us know our decision early, unlike other schools. Which I commend them for!
typically it is mcat > 504, and they say competitive gpa is around 3.5 or higher, and mission fit. Primary care interest/underserved area volunteering. Those things. The stats are probably less required but mission fit for sure. Also they like applicants from southern states, but they will accept from anywhereDo you know their screening criteria by any chance?
Congratulations, that is so exciting and must be nice to have a calmer rest of the year!

dw, it’s still really early in the cycle. I got the II ~ 3 weeks after I was completeCongratulations, that is so exciting and must be nice to have a calmer rest of the year! I sent in my secondary in early July but haven’t heard anything :/
I assume they’re still sending secondaries out to other applicants, so I wonder how they distinguish who to invite from their already select group of secondaries.
The last part is huge. My MCAT met their screening criteria but my GPA did not but my entire personal statement was about the last part so I matched their mission well. I still received a secondary and im not from a southern state. If you feel like your mission and what you want to do matches to this school its worth applying to.typically it is mcat > 504, and they say competitive gpa is around 3.5 or higher, and mission fit.

same! I was completed 7/8 and didn't hear anything backDoes this school do silent Rs, does anyone know? Complete 7/9 so wondering. Definitely not stressing -- it is very early in the cycle and I know some schools stratify apps different way -- just pure curiosity!

can i ask how you formed this perspective? having had my secondary in and complete 7/23 I’m obviously hoping you’re 100% right 😂😂 but just curious if anyone has insinuated that in your interview or around the school!!Don’t worry, if you got the secondary, I’m positive you will get an interview!

gotcha i definitely didn’t know that!! good to know!!I think part of it may be how heavily they screen for secondaries in the first place

Yea^ that’s what I was judging off of. No adcom member told me specificallyI think part of it may be how heavily they screen for secondaries in the first place

For those of you waiting on a secondary, I just called and was told that I got screened out because my MCAT is not 505~507! You all should try calling to ask, and they'll specify! I was verified 7/1, so I had been waiting for a month fyi.
did they mention if there is a GPA screen?For those of you waiting on a secondary, I just called and was told that I got screened out because my MCAT is not 505~507! You all should try calling to ask, and they'll specify! I was verified 7/1, so I had been waiting for a month fyi.
From what I remember, the main screen is mcat and not so much gpadid they mention if there is a GPA screen?

I guess if your app really stands out u may get it otherwise 505 is the minI have a sub 505 and received a secondary yesterday. lower gpa too.
I could be wrong but the average mcat was around 503-504 when I started 4 years ago.Their average MCAT in recent cycles has been ~501 so I’m kinda shocked they would suddenly jump to 505 as a tentative minimum this year. Did adcoms mention anything to you in your interview about this?
