Applying to Med School? Get In Or Your Money Back
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does this school also send email letter of acceptances? Or just a phone call and a package?

In my phone call this morning, she said that I will be receiving an email later today. She didn't mention a package.

Yup! You should be getting a package as well! She told me we’d get an email today and a package in the mail
 
I withdrew my "A" and application! I hope it goes to one of you in the forum.

For those who got accepted, did you pick "Virtual" or "In-person" interview? Thanks!

I chose in person for a couple of reasons. First because I live relatively close, I was able to drive and wanted to see the campus/vibe of the school. Also, I think talking to someone face to face is advantageous over through a screen.

I chose the virtual option, I was considering driving out, but my interview was in the middle of the week so it became a bit tough to coordinate everything.

In person it was a 2ish hour window for interviews (find out once arrived) and started at 8am. After it was your/lunch with current M2s until 3 or 4. I kind of forgot when.

I belive they just assigned me. It's only for half of a day, there was a Q & A with students and an info session after the interview.
 
i’ve interviewed at 4 other schools, MD and DO, and this was by far my favorite interview. Such caring faculty.

Send them an email and ask about the status of your application. They are pretty good about getting back to you. You can call the admissions office as well. They are nice and it will not hurt your chances. Showing interest may help your chances.

How were your 3rd/4th year rotations like? Does WVSOM kinda push primary care hard or do they also help you if you’re interested in other specialties? Thank you in advance

3rd year rotations are set up at sites around WV. I can only speeak for my site, but it had all the opportunities available. Anyone who wants to explore specialties outside of primary care will have no issues. 4th year, you can stay in WV or go anywhere you want in the country. It's very flexible that way.

This is true, and I know this student. He had previous work before med school in Cardio surgery as a nurse. He scored well and knew all the right people. When it comes to competitive specialities, it matters who you know and what your connections are.

I wanna ortho spot, but Ill do IM or EM

Lol nah dude, you shouldn't already settle for a plan B. You haven't even started med school yet, If you're passionate about ortho, make sure you get involved in research and network with people in the field as soon as possible. Like Mr. Babe said, if you know all the right people, and have good board scores, the sky is the limit!

I 100% agree. Outside of objective measures like board scores and class rank, it really boils down to who you know! I noticed you mentioned you recently graduated, congrats! I hope you are coping well with residency!

Do they send II’s in waves? I emailed admissions and was told my application has reviewed and I’ll get a status update next month
 
drthedude said:
Hm they just told me I was still under review

When did you submit? I was complete around 8/8. Just weird they told me I’ll hear back in a month, as if they’re already decided what to do (II or R)
